    Advantages of watching your videos with my kids: the two oldest decided to clean our car today. They removed some bits of trash, vacuumed the seats and carpets, and tried to clean the interior plastics with some cleaner and cleaning cloths. They came back in and told me they had been pretending to be Detail Geeks. It wasn't 100% perfect, but pretty good for an 8 and 7 year old!

    Using a chisel to help clean the inside is just crazy. That mud and dirt was really caked up!

    Several firsts for this channel: APC on exterior paint, chisel on carpet (a screwdriver was used for ice before), shop vac. Still only 10 hours total to get this car looking good. "Only" because everything is relative here and that was a lot of work in that time.
    Those reveal images are the best plug for The Yard Geek, watching that bare land become what we see here. ❤

    • @cgraham6
      @cgraham6 Год назад

      I've recently seen other detailing channels that suggest mixing APC into your regular snow foam for routine maintenance washes. I still think that's crazy and completely unnecessary. Only in the most extreme situations like this would APC on paint be appropriate, and Mitch backs that up.

    I use a pet grooming needle brush to remove hard to get crusty stuff when vacuuming rugs. It fluffy the carpet allowing the vacuum to remove the deeply embedded stuff.

    This one blew me away!!! I have a drill brush set and they ARE A LIFE CHANGER!! I have seen ground in dirt but this was measurably heavy and it's unbelievable that you were able to extract this without resorting to complete removal and a pressure washer.

  • @barbaraboskat8038
    @barbaraboskat8038 Год назад +20

    So question…in cases like this, wouldn’t it be better/easier to just remove the carpeting and clean it outside the vehicle? It would allow you to vacuum out all the dirt underneath it as well. Just curious as I’ve seen other detailers do this.
    But awesome job! Always amazed at the results you get!

  • @whitetallon8784
    @whitetallon8784 Год назад +3

    Hey Mitch? As a weekend warrior not near your level, I've always used the 25° nozzle on my pressure washer. I just realized that I had no reason TO use it versus one of the others. Can you go over that in one of your up coming videos? What the differences in the nozzles are and why you would use one over the other?
    Hope you do! Thanks!
    Also... I've seen some mud come out of cars but never with a CHISEL!!! Great job!!!

    I found doing a double foam wash works great with stuck on dirt. After the initial rinse, spray on the foam wash, let it set for 5 minutes, rinse it off, spray on the foam again, then do the contact wash.

  • @LovesToCamp35

    Seriously though some previous owner thought using the Subaru was a good idea for a work vehicle. I honestly was so shocked seeing the interior looking filthy. But man Mitch you always come through. What a transformation on the car well done

  • @danicamari1169
    @danicamari1169 Год назад +4

    You put so much effort and work into each detail! I’m guessing a lot of effort goes into cleaning after each detail, too, as your shop always looks spotless. How long does it actually take you to clean the shop after a detail like this?

    My 130k mile 2013 Accent needs some TLC & your videos are giving me the motivation & skill set to tackle the project. After working three jobs one being a dog walker and the other working in a garden my car went downhill. She hasn’t been to her full glory in some time. It’s not as bad as some of the cars you’ve cleaned but I feel like it’s up there… your APC is on my shopping list to help get my gal in tip top shape. Would you suggest any other of your products for a basic but detailed interior clean out? I was thinking one of your paint brushes, any other ideas? Thanks for the inspiration & motivation!

    A few observations: 1) The car was very dirty, but it wasn't full of trash or garbage. 2) This car was used in some very rough conditions for 15 years. And it still runs and held up great! 3) I would have loved to have seen the owners reaction.

    The Subaru Impreza builds up the insane disaster and dirt engine bay, older carpets, and seats of exterior and interior. Mitch cleans difficult work to eliminate filth carpets.
    All-purpose cleaner spray removes paint to erase easily away. The pressure washer works effectively and looks better. The car of restoration improves well and starting a new brand. Have a wonderful weekend! I am looking forward to seeing the next new Detail Geek video. ❤️😊
