So when they do get kicked out they've caused 10s of thousands of dollars by the time the police come to give them the boot.

    My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. czcams.com/users/postUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

    Hi Mitch amazing work as always!
    I just wanted to Thank You!
    We bought a used 2017 Chevy equinox from a local dealer. They lied to us and told us it wasn't smoked in. They covered up the smell with dealership air freshener. A few weeks after we brought it home we noticed the smoke smell settling in. The dealership refused to do anything and said it was our problem now. BC got hit with that heat dome last summer and the nicotine was leaking out of the headliner, the steering wheel was sticky. We felt horrible driving our family around in this smokers box.
    Watching your videos we were able to learn just how to tackle every inch of our vehicle. We rented an ozone machine, and used my husband's work steamer to clean the headliner, and as much of the interior as we could. After a second change of the air filter and wiping all the tar out of the sun roof track we can finally say over a year later and about 8 hours of two people tackling the work, our vehicle feels like a safe ride for us, and our children. So 100% Thank you for sharing your skills, tips, and tricks. My heart is so much lighter knowing my kids aren't breathing in second hand smoke ♥️

    I always call a new cabin filter where i work because these end up being black by dust and dirtiness (cigarette too) and like that it just prevents bad smell and redistributing “used” air around the car. People often come to the garage saying; “ So i bought this car and it has a real bad smell in it, would a shampoo take the smell off?” And often happens that it never had been changed from owner to owner because people mostly don’t know it exists and they had a ozone machine service in it too. But if you leave the cabin filter it’s worth nothing.🤷🏻‍♀️

    Outstanding job! I’ve detailed for a long time and used nearly every technique and chemical to remove stains, polish paint etc. I agree there is very little if anything that could be done to get it cleaner. There are many stain removers for carpet and upholstery, some that require understanding what caused the stain and some that do not. For those who don’t know but care, you can chase stains with enzymes and special cleaners all day without those results Mitch obtained in this video. After that thing was that clean, I longed to watch a thorough tune-up, dent removal, wheel change, sound system upgrade, and a few damaged parts replacement.

Could you imagine what the belts would look like with only a water rinse? I thought it was a hogwash article even though it came from some respectable automotive source of which I don't recall. But now a days with advances in detailing products, it's not like people are using bleach and ammonia to wash their interior materials.

    I bought my crosstrek after it sat right next to a busy road with snow plows splashing it with dirt and salt. On top of that I live with a paper mill in my backyard. I can’t wait to see how much crap will come off after I take a clay bar to it

    Imagine panning all the dirt from the exterior and the carpets and came up on some gold dust... Crazy!

    Would like to say I’m extremely impressed with a couple things. How thorough you are, how transparent you are, and also how simple and straight to the point your product line is. I’ve been using Chemical Guys, and it feels like 4-5 of their products do the exact same thing, which is extremely frustrating finding the best. Also thank you for linking exactly what you use! I’ll definitely be picking up that steamer!

    DG you are a true professional! That was by far an awesome transformation!!! You even managed to keep it under 20 hours. Every time I see these videos it gets me more and more interested in auto detailing. Keep it up and can’t wait to see you perform your magic in the new studio!!

      I usually just use a socket set for my seats. If you have an air/ pneumatic ratchet it would go a lot quicker!

      Disconnect your battery first! Many problems could arise from disconnecting the electronics harness when removing the seats if you do not do this.
      Additionally, check to make sure the seats are not tethered to an anchor like in a Smart 451 or other makes and models. It's no problem but may require extra steps and additional tools or bits.
      Also, if you're going to the trouble of removing your seats I highly recommend removing the carpet as well. It takes only a few moments longer and allows you to pressure wash the carpets and clean with degreaser below them. This will keep your carpets looking much better much longer.
