Be Like Mike and Get Honey for FREE today! ▸ joinhoney.com/detailgeek What an absolutely INCREDIBLE transformation!! That's a detail I won't ever forget! Have a great weekend guys!
I used to own an auto detail business some 20 years ago. Still to this day, throughly cleaning a vehicle and making it look better than the day it rolled off the lot, relaxes me beyond belief. I had a stressful day today and your video, beginning to end, took all the stress away as if I was cleaning that truck myself. Awesome work.
Hi Kevin, I'm trying to assist my younger brother and set him up with a detailing business he can do while his finishing his studies, could you assist with a breakdown of how you charged for your service. Would really appreciate any assistance. Thank you in advance.
I dunno but likely. Seems like folks are bringing in the worst of the worst lately. It's like they thrown down the challenge gauntlet for DG. Up for the challenge.
In Texas the best way I found to remove mud off of my frame is to go to this river south of Dallas and it’s perfect for burnouts and it cleans my frame but not everyone is lucky as us Texans
I always feel like the owners are underwhelmed at these unbelievable transformations. Especially the interior,I would have freaked out at how great it came out.
Outside of the dirt, I can't believe how much rust is in there too underneath the truck. I'm sure if the cars could talk they would say how much better they feel.
I feel like this transformation is a testament to the process you've developed over the years. I thought there was no way the Truck could look as good as it did by the end, but you followed the same steps you always do (perhaps with a bit more elbow grease than usual), and it came out looking great (considering the condition of the vehicle). Really well done, as always! 👏
I bought everything in your shop I used it to detail on my cars they turned out beautiful they turned out like they came out of the dealership after looking at the results in them I almost cried in tears of joy
You do such quality work, charging his battery, attention to detail, it’s all very nice. I keep my truck fairly close to spotless but I often wonder how much better it’d look if I took it to someone like you 😂
okay, so hear me out. ive been detailing for a couple years now, and one of my favorite transformations are the engine bays. nobody ever seems to focus on them, and they can easily be a selling point. do you do them? if so, any chance you could start putting them in videos? I absolutely love your work, and have been a subscriber for a couple years now. keep up the great work!
He's included them a few times when the customer asks for it. On his other channel, Detail Geek 2, he has a couple of engine bay videos under tutorials.
Word is out, if you own a mobile disaster take it to The Detail Geek! This one was mind bending, talk about a dirty interior! Glad you love a challenge, this was more of a miracle. Great job, simply superior!
Man, you definitely have a Ph.D in car cleaning back in college I used to think that my care interior was very dirty but after watching your videos mine was spotless clean. Regards from Cairo, Egypt
You should do a video of how you first started ? How you got customers here and their to grow your business? What did you start with? And how did you go about doing it all?
Absolutely nothing but the utmost respect for Mitch!! His passion, care and drive for detailng is second to none!! Detail Geek ✋🏽 ⬇️ is the best YT detaling channel in the game!! This is a HOF detail right here!!
i think that truck was dirt cheep because it was under water..you can tell by the amount of mud in the rear frame..musta had a boat attached and it fell/reversed into the dock/water...you can tell also by the amount of mud inside the tail lights..
@Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him you are honestly the type of person that I avoid at all costs. Thanks for your preaching, but for me, I already know where I'm going
I am a student in CSU Fresno, i bought a 30 year old truck for like 2.5k a few months back, it is a Ford F 350, that truck is 14 years older than I am, i am a first year student, i still take care of it so much, i almost wash it everyday and keep the interiors clean, i also bought some expensive car freshners for it, the bad boy works like a charm
It shows what kind of person you are. You appreciate that vehicle. The owner of this truck just treats it like a disposable truck. Probably making big payments on it.
After seeing the driver's side wheel-well and all that mud, I was really looking forward to you Bissel-ing the hell out of it. Bummer. Bet the original owner is kicking himself now: he could have cleaned it up and sold it for a lot more! You truly are a miracle-worker.
I’m happy for the owner of this truck the best thing he could’ve done was bring it to you straight away. Sounds like you got a great deal and I’m sure you made it look great. I haven’t even got done watching the video yet. Looking forward to the end.
A wee tip I learned was for really sandy or dirty carpets, put an orbital sander on the floor without sandpaper on it, the vibrations agitate the dirt and makes it so much easier to vacuum.
Yep we used one but I usually get whatever loose dirt is there and then use a foaming carpet cleaner and let it soak a little then run the orbital over it a few times before I vacuum it a second time. Makes a huge difference and really freshens up the carpet especially if there is discoloration from mud or salt.
I love how you give a used and abused vehicle the same care and attention as a newer, slightly abused one. I don't blame him for wanting it cleaned so he could use it. I wouldn't have wanted to even get in it and drive it home without some PPE. Nice job! One of the other channels I watch based in Ohio said in his video yesterday that he wished the Detail Geek was closer so he could bring you his trucks! He said his son is a fan of your channel.
Oh my gosh Mitch ! In the history of Detail Geek videos I feel this one was the muddiest and most difficult to clean. You really had your hands full on this one. I never saw so much mud on the garage floor. Your fine tools really got a workout today. Whoa man so horrific. Bullets and rifle casings whaaat! Forget cheeseburgers, you deserve a thick steak for this one. Mike was a great addition to the video. He was eating that ice cream like it was frosting. He’s the lazy dude on the computer ordering junk food so he can pass out on the couch while your working your but off. Ooh man the vacuuming job was intense. The doors were filthy. Kudos to you for your immaculate efforts. You my friend have an excellent work ethic.
What? How? What? I am speechless. How? How you did that ( even tho we have just watched) I still have absolutely no idea how you did that. It looks absolutely incredible, wow! Wow! I also love the fact no matter what the truck, car , age or condition you treat it with the same respect and it’s incredible to watch
@@taylorhalliday9011 it goes in a huge plastic container like the ones on cordless vacuums. Then I think he just empty’s it in the bin. Somewhere on his channel is a garage tour and he shows it all in there.
The Mike skits always crack me up! Cheers for the chuckle. Just watched this truck on your Top 10 worst on Friday, it’s a classic. Phenomenal work as always, I love your attitude of “Challenge accepted!”! Best motivator ever, my hubby and I do that to each other all the time 😂.
Just have to say I’ve recently discovered your channel and been binge watching your videos, they’re so relaxing and really help me just chill out. Admire your work, keep it up ☺️
I’ve officially become addicted to these videos. It’s so satisfying to see this guy clean these vehicles to make sure that they look their best when he’s done with them. Incredible work indeed.
I honestly didn’t think the carpet would come that clean on the vacuuming. 😱 I thought you might just blast it all out with the pressure washer!🤣🤣🤣💜💜💜 Astounded by this transformation and great client reaction!!! Thanks for sharing this nasty beast with us! And hi to Mike!😁
I'll be getting my first car soon, just got my permit and working to get a license, and I'm so excited to start detailing it and such! I always love watching car accessories videos and detailers like you and get myself ready watch out for and know what to get/wash.
I wish you would show the extraction of the drivers floor since that is typically the nastiest piece of carpet in the vehicle. Really enjoy your vids though and really admire your work ethic and attention to detail. Great work.
Yes!! I was so excited to see it and then sad. Also he did not show steaming of the pedals this time too. I think The Detail Geek underestimates how long a video we will watch....
I know that some detailers will pull the whole carpet out and pressure wash it, so I was thinking that would be faster with a carpet this dirty, especially there on the driver’s side. It probably takes longer to dry, though. Extraction can only get so much when the filth is penetrating the carpet to the floor underneath.
This truck looks a THOUSAND TIMES BETTER than it did when the guy bought it, not just ten times better. WOW!!! My dad used to own a car yard before he retired and I worked there too sometimes, just cleaning the cars for pocket money. I saw some dirty vehicles but nothing like this truck. You did an AWESOME job dude 👏 Love from Amanda in Australia ❤️
The Detail Geek should take the award, Mitch you really do amazing jobs on vehicles no matter the condition they are in. You make the old new again. Great work
I like the fact that these videos gives life lessons. No matter how challenging or hopeless the task is, with a little bit of determination and willingness, things can be done. Don't give up guys. Whatever you are going through 😊
I detail my family’s vehicles and even did it for awhile for a job. I still can’t believe the integrity you put into each vehicle! You can tell you do this for the start to finish product rather making a quick buck!
It's 3am here in New Zealand when these videos come on and I always make sure I'm awake to watch them. So addictive 😍 Always look forward to seeing what each week brings. Highly impressed with your work
My goodness: I don't know how I missed this video, 1 year ago, but I have just seen it and that Ford truck cleaned up beautifully. Excellent job Mitch.
Your videos inspire me and give me tips on how to keep my personal vehicles looking better. I’m nowhere near a detailer, but with a pressure washer, and the vacuum and spot cleaner you recommend, my cars and trucks look pretty darn good. I’m sure it will help when it comes to trade in or resell them. Thanks!
Thank you. Im wanting to do this to make side money. Appreciate you putting all the stuff and products and what to use unlike other channels. Appreciate it.
Questionnnn... What were some of your most memorable "rookie" mistakes when you were just starting out and how did you handle those mistakes? Very nice video!!!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️
I feel a bit bummed that the truck beds of trucks that gets cleaned out get skippped over. Would love to see that too. But wow! Awesome transformation as always!
I truly love watching you clean these insane vehicles! Cleaning for me is such stress relief, so seeing these amazing transformations is what I usually fall asleep too 😅
Also another question, watching you do the carpets for hours, til theyre almost new, and then going to steam the dash seems counter productive as the grime then flows, falls, and flies down onto the already cleaned carpets. Do you edit the videos in the exact order in which you perform the detailing? Just curious, as it seems I notice quite a few instances in your videos where gravity alone would predict the order in which you would want to perform your steps. Awesome videos!
I heard him answer this in another vid. He does the dash after because the tool he uses to clean the carpet sprays the debris around in the process. So he does the dash second to avoid having to do it twice
Wow… just wow! I am blown away by the phenomenal work this guy does. He never fails to make even the nastiest looking vehicle look amazing, keep the good stuff coming man👌
Is it me but when he is vacuuming and he misses this one spot and it just drives me crazy and at the last second he is like haha 😂 gotcha and vacuums it right up and a sudden flow of relief and calming comes over me and I know at that exact moment everything is right in the world
@@jb6712 sounds like you need to worry about yourself and be able to figure out when somebody is saying a funny joke but I expect a keyboard pirate like yourself to understand that a good day sir.
Same! Lol like I stare at it, then he goes back over it and gets the spot, and it's like, ok, we can resume. 🤣 it can't be perfect with a missed spot of dirt hanging out in the middle of the floor. 🤷🏻♀️🤣
I’ve watched probably a dozen if not 20 of your videos before. I have always liked them. This is the first one I’m commenting on and this is the one that made me subscribe. The truck looks brand new. There’s a couple rust spots on the outside that you couldn’t do anything about. But the interior is a brand new truck. It is unreal what you have done with this vehicle!! I always hate the people‘s reactions. I know people never know what to say besides thank you and it looks great. But it makes me insane how nobody ever shakes your hand or gives you a hug. I would go insane if that was my work truck and you just handed it to me Looking like that. Again. Unreal. Just incredible work. You got yourself a new sub off of this one!!!
Moral of the story: have a proper detailer work over your car before you sell it. A few hundred bucks of professional work could net you thousands in resale value.
Our work trucks all look like this. These trucks make money, they are just tools for the job. I want to clean one for more personal use just looking for ideas. I had no idea it was possible.
Incredible amount of work was needed to turn this truck around…and you delivered, as always. Even recharging the dude’s dead battery! 😊 Impeccable work ethic, Mitch.😊
As dirty as this truck is, it makes me glad to see it so muddy before cleaning. This was a real work truck, and the new owner also intends to use it that way. Way too many people buy F-150s just to look “cool” and “manly,” then use it on nothing but picking up groceries, parking badly and revving at traffic lights. It’s an expensive, powerful, gas-guzzling truck and should be used as such.
I've watched a few of your videos and really enjoyed them. I was wondering, though. How long do you let the carpet and seats dry before putting the interior back together? Also, have you ever had any issues with door speakers or other electronics using your steamer or other products?
He disconnects the battery before doing any cleaning, so the electronics are okay- as long as they have the chance to dry or completely before being electrified again, they should work fine
I’m new on here and catching up on all these videos and I’m so hooked! You’ve probably answered this question, but how do you dry the seats and carpets and how long does it take? I’m so amazed how clean you get these vehicles. They look new again! - watching from Lake Wales, Florida
That steel wheel (driver's rear) worries me. All those weights in one spot is either a defective tire (bad casting) or a bent rim. Outstanding job as always!
it looks to be a spare and considering you should be driving rarely with it i dont find it to be too much of a problem, couldve been laziness on the tech to not rotate the tire so the light spot of the tire and heavy spot of the wheel meet or vice versa, sometimes you cant put weights on the inside for various reasons and that makes the outer side heavier, sometimes wheels are just garbage, but i think this was a laziness factor to be honest
I love how he just takes his time to clean the car or truck that he has to clean and he tells us the type of car and tells us what is in this is the car. He is such an amazing guy. Thank you for making the world a better replace
The Detail Geek is a car healer. He heals cars. Takes the cars and trucks that are ailing and sick. Turns them back into transformed mechanical beings. And the people who see what things can be like, then makes that real, are visonaries and master craftsman. These people are far and few between. When you see their professional artistry though, you know they belong to a special class of people. Committed. Detailed. Refined. Soulful. Healers.
Awesome job, if it was my truck, I would definitely replace the cabin air filter and clean the A/C ducts out. I’m sure the heater core probably has caked on hair and dirt as well.
It would probably be smart to do something about that underbody rust; get a new rust proof coating sprayed on it. Even just a few coats of rustoleum underbody spray would go a long way to helping preserve it
This is a business I’ve ALWAYS wanted to set up. I’m in the UK and we don’t have this type of market (at least not as many people with cars like this). I love watching this as I’m a real clean freak - I love deep cleaning!!
Nice! I'm a West Virginia, USA wimp girl. I didn't want to go out and take care of my vehicles today. It was +30° F and we only got 3 inches of snow. Thank you great job! ❤
That’s an amazing transformation. Is there no issues though using steam to clean the door speaker covers and dash board instruments? Also what about that pickup area? Didn’t show any of it?
Man.. your skills never cease to amaze me. I bet there's not many detailers that would have even taken that job on. You really took that truck from zero to hero
amazing job! question is about how long for the seats and carpets to be dry after a deep cleaning like this, and have you ever had any issue with the steam used in the interior causing any damage to issue with the electronic components or moister staying in a/c vents. Thank you for all the great content.
I'm not an expert but I would assume steam evaporates much quicker than if you just sprayed water on it. Also with electrical components you don't really harm anything as long as there's no electricity running through them, also a lot of the "live", unprotected areas of wires are normally pretty hidden away.
I'm on my 3rd detail video of the night when I need to be doing my bedtime workout LOL These videos are so satisfying! Have you thought about getting a small rolling stool for when you work on the tires, so you can literally zoom from wheel to wheel and save your back? Also a heavy duty table to put the seats on when you shampoo after removing them from the car could prevent all the bending. Just a thought - Keep up the great work!!!!
The one piece of advice I would highly recommend is to watch out when using steam cleaner on door panel speaker covers. The steam could seriously damage the speaker cones, glue separates and creates an issue with speaker.
@@daltex81 and you can always be stupid and ruin the speakers instead of taking 2 minutes to pop off the door panels. that was a seriously brain-dead response.
Hey great work, do you ever have to clean the interior roof of any vehicle? If so, what is the process for that and can you post a video on that!!! Thanks
Lol I noticed that too! As far as the mismatch goes, that steel one was most likely the spare that was just left on, but yeah I've never seen one THAT far out of balance!
More than likely that wheel has a bent center bore. Uncommon but still an option. I’m guessing that tire size is also a 265/70r17 and I’ve never had a tire call for that much weight being that size with dynamic clip ons.

Ngl, I know this wasn’t directed at me and I don’t even know you, but this made me tear up. Hope you have a wonderful life, Kevin.

Same here
Only 2 months into the year and I predict this will be a strong contender for the 2022 Detail Geek awards for best transformation
I dunno but likely. Seems like folks are bringing in the worst of the worst lately. It's like they thrown down the challenge gauntlet for DG. Up for the challenge.
I’d say it’s definitely up there for interior transformation, the exterior is still pretty beat even after being detailed.
It’s got well worn exterior but that interior tho it’s definitely a contender even I have never seen a interior that bad.
I dont think anything gonna be worse them that black crsyler town and country van he done
In Texas the best way I found to remove mud off of my frame is to go to this river south of Dallas and it’s perfect for burnouts and it cleans my frame but not everyone is lucky as us Texans
I always love how even just vacuuming the carpet makes SUCH a huge difference, even before the wet treatment
@Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him ashol
Thay the vacuuming was crazy.
The power of a good suck;)
Why should he
Wonder if he puts any scotchgard type stuff on carpet
I always feel like the owners are underwhelmed at these unbelievable transformations. Especially the interior,I would have freaked out at how great it came out.
I think the issue is most people don't freak out. I'm sure it wasn't for free either.
Same!!! I was yelling, look in the back!! Look!! But nothing. I would be freaking out of how good it looked. Shame. M is a miracle worker for sure. ❤
Dude does witchcraft on these details!
This detail probbaly cost 2-3 thousand dollars.
I am thinking the same thing.
Outside of the dirt, I can't believe how much rust is in there too underneath the truck. I'm sure if the cars could talk they would say how much better they feel.
Why are you surprised about rust? It’s literally a Ford.

I have an 07 Lariat that looks showroom, even with 170,000 miles. It pays to take care of your vehicles.
I’m not quite halfway through, but you’re vacuuming the carpets and to be honest, just the vacuuming alone is making it 1000 times better

I know that some detailers will pull the whole carpet out and pressure wash it, so I was thinking that would be faster with a carpet this dirty, especially there on the driver’s side. It probably takes longer to dry, though. Extraction can only get so much when the filth is penetrating the carpet to the floor underneath.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the effort that goes into these videos?! Thank you for giving us nothing but the BEST content!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

This truck looks a THOUSAND TIMES BETTER than it did when the guy bought it, not just ten times better. WOW!!! My dad used to own a car yard before he retired and I worked there too sometimes, just cleaning the cars for pocket money. I saw some dirty vehicles but nothing like this truck. You did an AWESOME job dude 👏 Love from Amanda in Australia ❤️
The Detail Geek should take the award, Mitch you really do amazing jobs on vehicles no matter the condition they are in. You make the old new again. Great work
Ok, you outdid yourself on this one, Mitch. It was honestly amazing how much you improved this car, very well done. Fantastic work!
I like the fact that these videos gives life lessons. No matter how challenging or hopeless the task is, with a little bit of determination and willingness, things can be done. Don't give up guys. Whatever you are going through 😊
I detail my family’s vehicles and even did it for awhile for a job. I still can’t believe the integrity you put into each vehicle! You can tell you do this for the start to finish product rather making a quick buck!
You sir are an absolute master of your craft. Such attention to detail (no pun intended) is a rare quality today. Fantastic job
Everytime I think that you missed a spot, you end up getting the spot, these videos are so relaxing and satisfying
The carpet cleaning is always my favorite to watch. Soooo satisfying.
It's 3am here in New Zealand when these videos come on and I always make sure I'm awake to watch them. So addictive 😍 Always look forward to seeing what each week brings. Highly impressed with your work
Hey from NZ Auckland as well!😊
@GABRIELLA bot
What an epic transformation! A few repairs and some rust treatment will make that truck an absolute bargain. Great work as always, Mitch!
My goodness: I don't know how I missed this video, 1 year ago, but I have just seen it and that Ford truck cleaned up beautifully. Excellent job Mitch.
The vacuuming is always my favorite part. Good job Mitch, you never cease to amaze👏✨✨
I think the improvement with just a shop vac and some patience is the wildest every time. Strong work as always from the Southern US!
Your videos inspire me and give me tips on how to keep my personal vehicles looking better. I’m nowhere near a detailer, but with a pressure washer, and the vacuum and spot cleaner you recommend, my cars and trucks look pretty darn good. I’m sure it will help when it comes to trade in or resell them. Thanks!
Thank you. Im wanting to do this to make side money. Appreciate you putting all the stuff and products and what to use unlike other channels. Appreciate it.
I figure there’s a lot that happens off screen, but I’ve always been curious. Do you clean up under the hood when you do your details?
I believe I’ve seen on an older video he offers it as an additional service but not everyone opts for it with their cleanings.
I've always wondered the same thing! I feel like that would be satisfying to see too
If you pay for it.
Questionnnn...
What were some of your most memorable "rookie" mistakes when you were just starting out and how did you handle those mistakes? Very nice video!!!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️
f
Lol gud quiz
f
I feel a bit bummed that the truck beds of trucks that gets cleaned out get skippped over. Would love to see that too. But wow! Awesome transformation as always!
And the driver floor
Wow the up holder really showed how clean the truck now looks .AWSOME
Wow! Hard to believe it! You never be give up hard working and real care cleaning. Very impressive! Can't wait to see video on Friday. 🙂❤❤
I’m curious about the engine bay on this one and how it turned out. Fantastic job as always!
I truly love watching you clean these insane vehicles! Cleaning for me is such stress relief, so seeing these amazing transformations is what I usually fall asleep too 😅
Also another question, watching you do the carpets for hours, til theyre almost new, and then going to steam the dash seems counter productive as the grime then flows, falls, and flies down onto the already cleaned carpets. Do you edit the videos in the exact order in which you perform the detailing? Just curious, as it seems I notice quite a few instances in your videos where gravity alone would predict the order in which you would want to perform your steps. Awesome videos!
I heard him answer this in another vid. He does the dash after because the tool he uses to clean the carpet sprays the debris around in the process. So he does the dash second to avoid having to do it twice
Wow… just wow! I am blown away by the phenomenal work this guy does. He never fails to make even the nastiest looking vehicle look amazing, keep the good stuff coming man👌
Is it me but when he is vacuuming and he misses this one spot and it just drives me crazy and at the last second he is like haha 😂 gotcha and vacuums it right up and a sudden flow of relief and calming comes over me and I know at that exact moment everything is right in the world
🙄 Sounds as if you need serious conversations with a psych pro if something that simple messes up your head!!! Yes, it is YOU!
@@jb6712 sounds like you need to worry about yourself and be able to figure out when somebody is saying a funny joke but I expect a keyboard pirate like yourself to understand that a good day sir.
Your are not alone. Mitch...Mitch you missed that....then...gotcha as he vacuums away the offending schmutz.
Same! Lol like I stare at it, then he goes back over it and gets the spot, and it's like, ok, we can resume. 🤣 it can't be perfect with a missed spot of dirt hanging out in the middle of the floor. 🤷🏻♀️🤣
I’ve watched probably a dozen if not 20 of your videos before. I have always liked them. This is the first one I’m commenting on and this is the one that made me subscribe. The truck looks brand new. There’s a couple rust spots on the outside that you couldn’t do anything about. But the interior is a brand new truck. It is unreal what you have done with this vehicle!! I always hate the people‘s reactions. I know people never know what to say besides thank you and it looks great. But it makes me insane how nobody ever shakes your hand or gives you a hug. I would go insane if that was my work truck and you just handed it to me Looking like that. Again. Unreal. Just incredible work. You got yourself a new sub off of this one!!!
Moral of the story: have a proper detailer work over your car before you sell it.
A few hundred bucks of professional work could net you thousands in resale value.
Noted
Honestly, you made a difference that makes that truck worth giving a bit of bodywork to. Stunning work !
makes me sad to see how many people neglect their vehicles. love what u do man!
Our work trucks all look like this. These trucks make money, they are just tools for the job. I want to clean one for more personal use just looking for ideas. I had no idea it was possible.
People like to treat their cars/trucks like a second trashcan with food and other junk left in the car. Just filthy
@@JGarrison51285 probably not the type of people who enjoy these type of videos:)
It’s a farm truck
@@meliss9536 the owner climb in this filth everyday ifc what it’s used for it’s disgusting
Incredible amount of work was needed to turn this truck around…and you delivered, as always. Even recharging the dude’s dead battery! 😊 Impeccable work ethic, Mitch.😊
I don't think there is another vehicle detailer in the world that can do the work Mitch does in these details. Amazing work👌
Guy doesn't even pre Foam the car first... he's a youtube detailer, not a real pro
As dirty as this truck is, it makes me glad to see it so muddy before cleaning. This was a real work truck, and the new owner also intends to use it that way.
Way too many people buy F-150s just to look “cool” and “manly,” then use it on nothing but picking up groceries, parking badly and revving at traffic lights. It’s an expensive, powerful, gas-guzzling truck and should be used as such.
Don't even get me started on the short people driving them
Why does it matter? As long as they’re not being an asshole on the road who cares what they use their truck for, it’s THEIRS
@@user-ql3el3bq2v bad for the environment, loud, and simply a waste of money
@@alsikepike5686 Now we can say that about the same people who use these cars no?
@@timbowalk14 Short people can drive whatever the fuck they want try worrying about your own problems
I've watched a few of your videos and really enjoyed them. I was wondering, though. How long do you let the carpet and seats dry before putting the interior back together? Also, have you ever had any issues with door speakers or other electronics using your steamer or other products?
He disconnects the battery before doing any cleaning, so the electronics are okay- as long as they have the chance to dry or completely before being electrified again, they should work fine
I’m new on here and catching up on all these videos and I’m so hooked! You’ve probably answered this question, but how do you dry the seats and carpets and how long does it take? I’m so amazed how clean you get these vehicles. They look new again! - watching from Lake Wales, Florida
The carpet shampooer sucks up the water and it leaves it damp
Air drying for a couple of hours usually does the trick. As long as the muck is sucked up, the dirty water doesn't settle to leave a lingering smell
Dehumidifier and fan inside the car
It took me months to realize that APC meant all purpose cleaner 🙄
But this transformation deserves an Accadamy Award. Man....
If he makes them a little bit longer he can get a Best Picture nom 😉
APC means that 😱
my brain always thinks it means “apple cider vinegar” for some reason
That steel wheel (driver's rear) worries me. All those weights in one spot is either a defective tire (bad casting) or a bent rim. Outstanding job as always!
i don't think ive ever seen that many weights on a wheel, i wonder what's on the inner bead?
There was weights at 12 and 7 on the passenger front too
Whoever put that many weights on had NO idea what they were doing. That wheel or tire is junk and needs to be replaced!
it looks to be a spare and considering you should be driving rarely with it i dont find it to be too much of a problem, couldve been laziness on the tech to not rotate the tire so the light spot of the tire and heavy spot of the wheel meet or vice versa, sometimes you cant put weights on the inside for various reasons and that makes the outer side heavier, sometimes wheels are just garbage, but i think this was a laziness factor to be honest
Yeah, that made my OCD act up lol
Loved when the steam goes in one vent and out the other. Now that's some deep down detailing!!
the snow in the background makes the truck looks so much better than it already does🔥🔥
I love how he just takes his time to clean the car or truck that he has to clean and he tells us the type of car and tells us what is in this is the car. He is such an amazing guy. Thank you for making the world a better replace
wut
One of the things that baffled me was the amount of wheel weights on that driver rear wheel
I seen that bruh
@@PatrickBateman88 same man holy shit 😂👀👀
That rim must be badly bent, or damaged. However seeing how that Rim is the factory steel, most likely spare tire judging by the other alloy wheels,.
Right?
I was looking just for a comment about it 😂😂
WOW. Wow. That is EASILY one of the best transformations! So satisfying. I'm glad I didn't have to do it - I bet it was tiring!
The Detail Geek is a car healer. He heals cars. Takes the cars and trucks that are ailing and sick. Turns them back into transformed mechanical beings. And the people who see what things can be like, then makes that real, are visonaries and master craftsman. These people are far and few between. When you see their professional artistry though, you know they belong to a special class of people. Committed. Detailed. Refined. Soulful. Healers.
Awesome job, if it was my truck, I would definitely replace the cabin air filter and clean the A/C ducts out. I’m sure the heater core probably has caked on hair and dirt as well.
It would probably be smart to do something about that underbody rust; get a new rust proof coating sprayed on it. Even just a few coats of rustoleum underbody spray would go a long way to helping preserve it
@@Dana-oe1ne I was thinking the same thing.
I’m pretty sure we never see his face during the washes because Mike actually does 100% of the work
I low key love this theory
😅 😅 😅
Every now and then we see his face, but what if thats just so we think its him and not mike? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
The condition of the non-powertrain parts makes me wonder how well the engine/transmission was maintained.
Im sure it throws check engine lights every other day too because of its obvious abuse.
@@sixpest it’s clearly a work truck lmao. it’s not meant to be pretty😂
This is a business I’ve ALWAYS wanted to set up. I’m in the UK and we don’t have this type of market (at least not as many people with cars like this). I love watching this as I’m a real clean freak - I love deep cleaning!!
Amazing transformation. I was a bit surprised the owner wasn't more shocked at how good it looked. Also, I loved the guitar outro.
Already a die hard fan this just moved you up a couple notches!
Nice! I'm a West Virginia, USA wimp girl. I didn't want to go out and take care of my vehicles today. It was +30° F and we only got 3 inches of snow. Thank you great job! ❤
That’s an amazing transformation. Is there no issues though using steam to clean the door speaker covers and dash board instruments? Also what about that pickup area? Didn’t show any of it?
I was also wondering about the electronics.
As long as you let them dry before using them its fine.
Cool.
@@Zarkrez good to know!
Do you ever detail the engine bay? I'm sure a lot of people would love to see what it takes to make an engine shiny again :)
He's already done a video on that. ruclips.net/video/FUGMDov3hXc/видео.html and 3 others on his other channel.
It has been shown in several videos, one using steam, other with running water.
That doesn't even look like the same truck. I have seen all or almost all of your videos and know you do good work. This one was absolutely amazing.
Thanks for being such a great instructor
Dang, this was a great one!!! Kinda sad we didn't get to see the driver's footwell extraction, I bet that was super gross! Keep up the miracle work!
Me too! I was hoping to see him tackle the driver's footwell as well! But he's always awesome with the attention to detail!
Man.. your skills never cease to amaze me. I bet there's not many detailers that would have even taken that job on. You really took that truck from zero to hero
amazing job! question is about how long for the seats and carpets to be dry after a deep cleaning like this, and have you ever had any issue with the steam used in the interior causing any damage to issue with the electronic components or moister staying in a/c vents. Thank you for all the great content.
I was wondering the same thing!
I'm not an expert but I would assume steam evaporates much quicker than if you just sprayed water on it. Also with electrical components you don't really harm anything as long as there's no electricity running through them, also a lot of the "live", unprotected areas of wires are normally pretty hidden away.
I'm on my 3rd detail video of the night when I need to be doing my bedtime workout LOL These videos are so satisfying!
Have you thought about getting a small rolling stool for when you work on the tires, so you can literally zoom from wheel to wheel and save your back? Also a heavy duty table to put the seats on when you shampoo after removing them from the car could prevent all the bending.
Just a thought - Keep up the great work!!!!
The one piece of advice I would highly recommend is to watch out when using steam cleaner on door panel speaker covers. The steam could seriously damage the speaker cones, glue separates and creates an issue with speaker.
Legit good advice
You can always replace the speakers
@@daltex81 and you can always be stupid and ruin the speakers instead of taking 2 minutes to pop off the door panels. that was a seriously brain-dead response.
I always get so anxious to see what they end up looking like, that I fast forward them to the end, and then watch them from the beginning. 😁
Hey great work, do you ever have to clean the interior roof of any vehicle? If so, what is the process for that and can you post a video on that!!!
Thanks
Headliners are very delicate
You did an awesome job on this detail! As the owner of F150s and now currently my 2015 Lariat, I'm a Ford truck girl, and this was a nice detail! 💯🎯
Incredible transformation! It's nice to see you clean a "not so perfect" vehicle!
5:20 Take a look at the amount of balancing weights on the wheel.
Also 1 back wheel is a simple steel one, the other is an alloy.
Lol I noticed that too! As far as the mismatch goes, that steel one was most likely the spare that was just left on, but yeah I've never seen one THAT far out of balance!
Yep, that tyre must have been so far out of balance!!!
More than likely that wheel has a bent center bore. Uncommon but still an option. I’m guessing that tire size is also a 265/70r17 and I’ve never had a tire call for that much weight being that size with dynamic clip ons.
