For those who don’t know, AMD/Ahmed, The Car Care Nut, is a Toyota/Lexus Master Technician with decades of experience. That’s how he knows where everything goes. I’m always blows away at how he knows every little nuance about revisions and changes and part numbers. The dude is amazing.
this is one of the coolest projects on a car ever presented on youtube. yeah you can see crashed reconstructions and really dirty and neglected cars, but this project is beyond anything else on here. Ahmed is a perfectionist as is Jason, so can't wait to see the process and the end result.
Finish this in one sitting. Well done to Chicago Auto Pros! It nice to see the process of cleaning inside and outside, from leather andcarpet the interior of a car. The bit with the shift knob is hilarious. Btw thanks to Amd for bring me here, there so much for me to learn as a first time car owner of an old second hand car.
After seeing the work done on @TheCarCareNut channel, I had to subscribe to your channel, Jason! Great work! Looking forward to binge watching your videos!
This is just epic from start to finish .. inc the production values and editing. Its been fantastic watching the videos on both channels and I did not think that both of you would take it that extra mile to get it done.Seriously Jason and CAP and AMD you guys are phenomenal.
@@ChicagoAutoPros .. Had to watch the video again and you guys just took it to another level...Its totally insane and amazing all at the same time .. from the tear down.. too seeing Eric and Jason making the paint for the trim over a Skype/Zoom call with Ram. Kudos to everyone one that worked on this epic project . Thats what you call "Relentless pursuit of perfection."
Wow Jason and all the guys who were with you on this MONSTROUS cleaning and restoration journey..Hi -5’s from Australia..Goes to show-you get out-what you put in..and you guys put in PLENTY!!💪Awesome job gents🇦🇺
As a professional detailer, I must say this... The good thing about Lexus and Toyota cars and trucks is that they are EASY to detail. These cars cooperate and love detailers!!!!
I'm really impressed with what you guys were able to save by either repolishing or refilling, I would of thought it was too far gone and you would have to find a new one.
No, this is not just another youtuber that just get skipped over and go to another channel, I click, like, I subscribe and turn on the notification bell icon. awesome and I learn a lot from your cool team.
Amazing job by everyone on the team! It was nice to learn about the leather restoration and color matching process. Would you guys ever take up a job like this again if approached by another youtube channel? Haha it seemed overwhelming!
Jason, you and your team did an amazing job with this. It was great seeing all your hard work pay off. The attention to detail shows your passion for detailing. Keep up the great job and the great videos.
This is an incredible video. Im doing something similar but much smaller scale on a 2000 eldorado right now. Thank you for the resources and entertainment!
@ChicagoAutoPros thanks I appreciate it! I got a parts car so basically dismantling both interiors and cleaning and picking the best of both to go back in
It was probably the most tedious part, but I love the color theory/matching portion of this. Takes me back to some old art classes-never thought those would be applicable to detailing! Anyway, awesome work guys!
I guess I’m a case, but loved watching this project and seeing the skill and knowledge involved in cleaning and Reno on the multitude of surfaces crevices and materials in a 600k car. Dry ice machine going on the bucket list.
This is a world class video. Really appreciate the efforts and camera work, plus the graduate school course on color! Wow! Well done does not say enough.
This is just off the scale AMD and all involved. Putting most of this together in one day is just unbelievable. I take my hat off to you Sir for doing this. I bet Lexus Senior Management and all the employees who built these cars are following this project. Lexus may own a few unused mint condition cars. I bet they don't have one that has done anything like this mileage. You've just lived up to the Nut in Car Care Nut. You're a legend Sir, thank you.
Impressive and long but really a great review of the entire project. Kudos to Eric for his skills on the leather repair and perfect discussion on the carpet cleaning method. Jason I am SO glad you did not have to install all those parts back in the car. I was enjoying all your determination and those leather skills as well. Thanks for doing it all on this car too!
You got to be careful with those. Car care nut mentions how the ultra luxury package such as auto close door latch and air suspension can be very expensive to repair
Really enjoyed this video as a Lexus enthusiast and as a hobbyist detailer. This definitely makes me re-evaluate what "clean" is. Maybe one day I will perform a similar treatment.
Amazing, amazing amazing job Chicago Auto Pros!!! Jason, you and the guys are true craftsman at your trade. I enjoyed everything about this video. The editing was outstanding, it was like watching a full length documentary. I cannot believe the work and detail you guys put into this car. I used to detail back in the early 90s and the technical aspect you guys bring to detailing make what I did back then look like it was a fly by night alleyway detail shop that I worked in. I hope this job continues to produce much fruit for the labor you guys put into it becuase I know that most will never understand what truly goes through the mind of a detailer when they're in the zone. Keep up the great work. Btw it was awesome to see Amd in his element but with your video edits. Brought me cold chills.
I did a similar deep cleaning interior and exterior on my brothers 1995 Toyota t100 with 425,323 miles he was fired from his job , started a 1 year substance abuse program graduated and re hires back at his work . The owner /boss gave him the truck. I wanted to give my brother piece of mind and personal pride . it took me about a month and a 1/2 and when he picked it Up . I alone had 12 hours in polishing the American racing 15inch wheels from rusted shut to showroom shine , he drove it to work the next day and every employee couldn’t believe how it looked. His boss told him “that’s the same truck I gave you ?” Brother said “yea sir same truck” Boss says”may I give you another truck “😊
I’ll bet if you had known what a job this would be up front, you would have thought twice. I know you would have thought twice. It’s great to see world class in action. Fantastic job. Ahmed is very lucky to have you guys working with him.
Fantastic production value for this highly anticipated video! Kudos to Jason and his crew, Ahmed and his crew, and the outside vendors/technicians who had a hand in the successful transformation of this classic mega-miles LS430. I hope there is a follow-up video either here or on The Car Care Nut channel (or better yet, both!) regarding the final exterior prep and detailing (as I recall, that original high-dollar passenger-side headlamp cluster was extremely yellowed when dropped off at Chicago Auto Pros, would love to see some footage of its restoration). Congrats again to all involved in this VERY successful project! 💯🏆👍
This series has been amazing. So happy you guys made a proper long video to show just how you went about doing everything. And considering one of my daily drivers now shows some leather wear it was a great showing to see you tackle those issues. A crazy video and it was great to see it. The end results are amazing.
Nice job, amazing how goodie can turn out. This proves a car can never get old and worn.... For the connectors I have a great tip, some of them, like airbag and act are fluid sensitive and start to corrode wich can bring on errors.... I use balloons and even condoms (ys really, but without lube :) ) to pull over the connectors and use a small strap to secure.... works very time. Vaseline is also non conductive and can be used to prevent moisture....
Jason, Eric and team, what an amazing transformation. Thank you for the in depth discussion about how you went about doing what you did. Beautiful results.
Start to finish, a GREAT project to do..... and watch! Excellent efforts and work by all companies and folks involved. AMD, this one was a "Home Run" series. Thanks...it was fun.
What the heck, that is like a complete rebuild. How on earth did you manage to get all that done and fit it all back together again. An amazing overhaul. WELL DONE!!!
I watched every second of this video and all the videos on this magnificent piece of machinery, I’d love to own that car and take care of it with kitten gloves…I like the Easter egg you left at the end of the video with the radio! It’s now 2023 ready! Keep up the great videos! Love them all!
With these older vehicles restorative detail really takes it to the next level. Experience will play an important role as to not further damage existing components and panels in the cleaning process. P&S, Geist, is truly a great brand and the product themselves makes it enjoyable to work with and the results speak for themselves. Did a restoration similar to this with less leather repair using colourlock system. Time demanding detail but nothing beats the clients reaction when they come to collect💯 Great Video Guys !
An incredible amount of work! I had no idea those kinds of repairs could be made to leather. Has to be a labor of love on Ahmed's part; he certainly spending more on the "resurrection" of that Lexus than it might ever be worth.
This is the most amazing interior detail job. I have never seen what an auto detailer does, and the challenges that have to be faced and overcome. I am amazed by the results. You have a really fantastic team, and the quality of the work done is truly awesome. I have great respect for you and your team, Jason. When I'm faced with a tough goal in my own work, from now on I shall tell myself...be like Jason and the team at Chicago Auto Pros. Aim to do the best job ever.
I just did something similar to a 2013 Tacoma. Took out the entire interior and cleaned every interior panel, installed new carpet, new leather seat covers. Took out the headliner and cleaned it. Also did sound deadening on every panel. It was a ton of work and took maybe 60 hours working at least 8 or more at a time. Still have plenty to do to the exterior but for now the interior is mint.
I wish I would have been able to take the entire dash apart. Just wasn’t comfortable doing it. I did go as far as I was comfortable doing though. Now after seeing what was behind the dash I may do some research on how to take it apart.
A new car smells like the factory and cheap plastics that made it. This car now smells CLEAN! Thank you Jason!
Your welcome my friend, this was a special project and I’m so glad that I got to be apart of it.
@@ChicagoAutoPros Great work!!!!
I wish new cars had no smell 😎
AMD, what is the point of restoring such a car? It's been in an accident after which the driver's side rear quarter was replaced
@@FirstLast-fy4ogwhat's your point? It's his car and he gets paid for every view.
For those who don’t know, AMD/Ahmed, The Car Care Nut, is a Toyota/Lexus Master Technician with decades of experience. That’s how he knows where everything goes. I’m always blows away at how he knows every little nuance about revisions and changes and part numbers. The dude is amazing.
This is really one of the definitive 'disaster detail videos to end all other deep clean detailing, videos', maybe ever!
this is one of the coolest projects on a car ever presented on youtube. yeah you can see crashed reconstructions and really dirty and neglected cars, but this project is beyond anything else on here. Ahmed is a perfectionist as is Jason, so can't wait to see the process and the end result.
The attention to detail is incredible. You guys have to be leaders in the industry. Well done!

Ahmed is one of the most honest and best mechanics in the world.

Awesome! Thank you!
Totally agree; I AM in !!
Just when you think you’ve seen it all with car detailing….this video takes the crown. Insane.
This is amazing. Can’t believe how good the finished product looks. ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
This is insane detailing!!

Thank you.

Man…. That paint mixing stage was wild
Watched this video from Dubai because I been following the journey of this Lexus LS430 600,000 miles by The Car Care Nut, awesome job.
Wow Jason and all the guys who were with you on this MONSTROUS cleaning and restoration journey..Hi -5’s from Australia..Goes to show-you get out-what you put in..and you guys put in PLENTY!!💪Awesome job gents🇦🇺
Much appreciated, thank you.
This is going to be amazing! What a great project to undertake!

One day I'm driving to Chicago for Ahmed's repair work and for Jason to do a thorough, awesome work gentleman, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.
That's a thorough cleaning guys
Impressed ❤
Glad you liked it!!
Amazing job by everyone on the team! It was nice to learn about the leather restoration and color matching process. Would you guys ever take up a job like this again if approached by another youtube channel? Haha it seemed overwhelming!
Awesome Job. Very impressive.
Thank you very much!
From Car Care Nuts channel, what an incredible journey!
Gentlemen,
Awesome, epic job!👍👌
Unbelievable video 📹 editing job!
My back hurts just looking at this. Kudos to these guy's determination and stamina !!!!!!!
Magnificent, and beautiful. Those words can’t even come close to the magic you and your friends performed.
Couldn't agree more!
amazing work!!
This is the most spectacular transformation ever. The title of “Pros” is fully deserved. Amazing work!
Thank you so much 😀
Sick deep cleaning! Excellent job Chicago Auto Pros!!!
Jason, you and your team did an amazing job with this. It was great seeing all your hard work pay off. The attention to detail shows your passion for detailing. Keep up the great job and the great videos.
Much appreciated!
Im loving this only minutes into it
I don’t think I fully understood how much i like collaboration videos until just now
This is an incredible video. Im doing something similar but much smaller scale on a 2000 eldorado right now. Thank you for the resources and entertainment!
Good luck!
@ChicagoAutoPros thanks I appreciate it! I got a parts car so basically dismantling both interiors and cleaning and picking the best of both to go back in
Glad y’all were able to help Amed on this project. Amazing job. Can’t wait for the outside to be finished.
It was probably the most tedious part, but I love the color theory/matching portion of this. Takes me back to some old art classes-never thought those would be applicable to detailing!
Anyway, awesome work guys!
Great job! It was worth the wait.
Thanks!
So good to see your version of the Lexus detail as well as the Car Care Nut.
Craftsmen at their best.
@ClickOnProfile825 Being lucky sounds great. Given that I'm in Australia it probably won't matter. Never mind, I like your work. 👍🇦🇺
I guess I’m a case, but loved watching this project and seeing the skill and knowledge involved in cleaning and Reno on the multitude of surfaces crevices and materials in a 600k car. Dry ice machine going on the bucket list.
All I can say is WOW!!
I’ve been waiting for this day ! 👍. You guys and the team put out quality work. I would call this The LS documentary. I’m loving it .
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love AMD! This collaboration is amazing
This is a world class video. Really appreciate the efforts and camera work, plus the graduate school course on color! Wow! Well done does not say enough.
Wow, thank you!
Never seen anything as amazing. Absolute total respect to you guys

I have an 06 LS430 Ultra Luxury. It's beautiful to see these cars to get clean and restored to it's beauty 🤌🏽
You got to be careful with those. Car care nut mentions how the ultra luxury package such as auto close door latch and air suspension can be very expensive to repair
@@worldlinerai I've done my research and have had for 5 years now. She's all good and I have no problem with getting those fixed when the time comes
there's no obsession like shared obsession you guys did great
Fantastic!!
Thanks!
I won something??
Fantastic video!
Superb detail work!
I mixed a lot of color in my day. Also made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot. Used SEM products
Loving the quality of the videos recently!
This a new level
Above and Beyond
Love it
Excellent collaboration
Really enjoyed this video as a Lexus enthusiast and as a hobbyist detailer. This definitely makes me re-evaluate what "clean" is. Maybe one day I will perform a similar treatment.
You definitely took detailing 2 next level 🙌🏼👑 waiting on ya pull dry ice machine out🤔amazing job

This is such an incredible experience to have documented. I get it. Keep doin' yo thang.
Makes me want to ship my LS430 to Chicago from Dallas. Detailers here are a joke. Love this channel and all the knowledge y’all share!
