- Salvaging an ABANDONED Car That's Never Been Cleaned! | The Detail Geek
This car was ABANDONED for years and had NEVER been cleaned! A mouse infestation wreaked havoc on the interior and it was one of the grossest vehicles I've ever seen!

That was easily one of the WILDEST transformations ever, but I have to say I'm glad that car is out of my garage!! 🤣
Have a great weekend guys and be sure to check out the new Day in the Life video coming to the second channel on Tuesday, I'm letting you in on a BIG secret!! 🤫
Halo,apakah benar kamu memberikan give away ?
A scammers in the comments pretending to be you commenting on all comments lying to people about winning something
@@familyiseverything1617 I've been reporting those accounts as soon as I see them, but it's like playing whack-a-mole 🙄
@@TheDetailGeek I've been reporting them all and blocking them and warning others don't fall for it
I’m glad you didn’t find any dead 💀 rats 🐀 or mice 🐁 in there!
At about 25 minutes in, I was sure I saw you miss something when cleaning the exterior of the car. Ran it again, and yep, there it was. I put my finger on my screen, and it was DIRT ON MY SCREEN (which I have since wiped down!). Mitch, this video was perfection, well done again.
😂😂
Aww man at least we know he got it cleaned up well! 🤣
Sounds like your house needs a detailed cleaning
Happens to me all the time
Hahahahahahaha
This goes beyond detailing and is definitely into restoration territory, excellent job Mitch.
More like resurrection at this point!
You inspired me to detail my own car last year. Used a drill brush, removed seats, power washer, steamer, all of that. I went full DG Mode.
Now, I watch your videos every week. Just when I think a detail can't be worse than the last...
I like when things are restored and given a second chance! It makes me feel happy. 🙂
This guy is literally giving every piece of information possible for someone who's interested in opening a detail company. I really enjoy how humble you come across more then anything in your videos. Keep doing what you're doing! Warm regards from Hamilton Ontario
I've been hooked the last year. I opened my shop in my small town this year. Already done 4 cars! Its so satisfying and i love the looks on their faces when they come to pick up their rides. I ran a house cleaning company for nearly 4 years and already had most of the tools.
As someone who prides myself on detailing my own car and the cars of my friends and family I have to say you have the best detailing channel on CZcams. The quality of the work you do and the production value are just top notch. I also recently purchased your drill brushes and they are hands down the best I have owned. Kpeep up the great work mate!
I appreciate that!
In my experience, when a a person does not care about their car and completely trashes it like that, than what’s under the hood and everywhere else that you can’t see is also severely neglected,and most likely trashed. Good work, you significantly increased the value of the car!
i cannot tell you how many times i’ve thought about making the 10 hour drive to you for a detail
Do it bro. Only live once and you know you won’t regret it!
That fountain of dirt that erupted when you pressure washed the back!!
Was very surprised though that only one bucket was needed for your dirty water. I was expecting two if I'm honest
I was guessing 3 buckets tbh
I was expecting 1 bucket just for the front passenger side alone!
It's because it's only technically carpet. This era of GM interiors had such a short pile carpet it could best be described as flocking glued to a substrate layer.. hideous stuff to clean. Has almost zero water retention properties.
I have the EXACT same car -- same interior, same trim level, same color!! -- so this is like seeing something out of an alternate universe! Lol. Looking forward to seeing it, Mitch!
I love car wash
My neighbor has one of these exactly, if I wanted to look out the window, I'd see it in his driveway!
It’s ok, it’s ok to just admit it’s yours lol jk nice wash!
How’s the trunk space
Don't neglect your oil changes with that 3.6ltr engine. They're sensitive and break easily. Big problems with stretched timing chains when they get hot, and it's an expensive repair because of how they're built.
I'm always blown away by the difference just the vacuum makes!!
wait till you see what a tornado can do
I would be terrified to be anywhere near that car, let alone drive it, great work man!
The amount of love, dedication and willingness is immaculate. Always putting your all into any type of vehicle that's in your garage. Appreciate you and your hard work 💛
I'm convinced that you sir are not a detailer you're a miracle working magician.
I love how your formula of video has stayed the same all this time! And its still as entertaining every time- great job man!
Utterly, absolutely amazing finished results !! Well done ! Some of those muddy prints looked like racoons ! 🤣😂
I love the little raccoon prints! It looked like just about every kind of animal was in there except dogs. Great video!
I’m completely stunned at how anyone can trash a vehicle given the opportunity to have one. You revived that. Great patience & wonderful work!😊
Yup…I have more to say about this particular situation but I would be labelled as racist so I’ll shut up.
@@dantonliam lmao I’d expect the afros to be like this not so much the indians
@@XDMIIIIIIIII bro?
@@dantonliam it could have belonged to a person that became disabled and just sat all that time.
@@triciac1019 LOL You clearly have never been near a Reservation. HAHAHAHA
I love the fact you just lay into how dirty it is even though the customer probably watches your videos. No remorse. W content. Love the work. Keep it up.
Your channel is great, from the amazing work you do to the way it's shot and the music. It's also really relaxing for me to watch. It helps me greatly as a disabled person to just unwind watching these videos, and it's really relaxing. I would absolutely love to see reaction videos of the owners when they see their new cars!
Hard to believe that I bought my first new car in 2012 and... I still consider it as 'my new car' even after all these years. It boggles my mind how someone can treat a car like this.
I guess I can't get over the fact cars are just appliances for some people.
About sums it up , something breaks, throw it away.
I treat all of my appliances, small and large, a LOT better than they treated that poor car! I don't believe in just throwing things away because I neglected it, so I don't.
Agree! Similar situation with new car and still treasure and maintain her even though she's several years old now.
It is hard to believe I bought my first new car in 1996 and...I still have it even after 27 years and 440,000 miles. Thanks to this guy, it looks as good as it ever did. That iron remover and clay bar make that 27-year-old paint POP!
Watching the “dirt” and nastiness come off from the door jams is always so satisfying! LOL
lol
😂😂😂
That back window was insane!
This is absolutely amazing!! I cannot believe you were able to get this vehicle that clean!! Too awesome!!!
What a consumated professional you are, man! You make wonders with cars that one would need days to leave half as clean and you do.
Man, the more I see these transformations the more I think "When that detail studio is built, I'm shipping my truck from Tennessee to Canada" I have a 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali that REALLY needs the DG's attention. I don't care what the detail service cost or the cost of shipping it there and back. This dude is amazing!
Bro if you have that much money why don't you donate it to Ukrainian... They need it desperately
@@atomics.h.1824 Hello! I appreciate your comment. I am in complete agreement that their citizens need help. I am happy to let you know that I have made a donation. I donated through an organization called Global Giving.
@@atomics.h.1824 -BWHAAHH!.....Thats hilarious...yeah..dont worry both Turd And Beijing Brandon will "donate" more than enough of OUR money to th most corrupt nation on Earth.
Go Russia!...Liberating Europe from Nazism yet again!
@@dalesmith292 Keep the positive energy, my friend. I expected you to be upset over the previous comment, but you replied with kindness and basic respect. Something this world needs so, so much right now. Just wanted to share my appreciation for your kindness! Rare to find in online comment sections.
Take a trip to Canada, come see Alberta (I believe that’s where he’s located) see Banff national park, and lake Louise etc in the area it’ll cost you as much to ship the car may as well make it a road trip for yourself.
I was sat watching and shaking my head in disbelief and then out of the blue you came out with "rat turd water" and that took me out 😂😂😂 fantastic work as always
You do amazing work each and every time! I was very relieved to see you wearing the respirator ! Inhaling the dust from rat dropping is SO dangerous ,not counting the mold and mildew spores ! Very happy to see that you take the dangers of garbage Very seriously! Biohazard is exactly right!
with carpets that bad I think I would have taken the carpet out and pressure washed it out
A big thumbs up to whoever drove that lung buster to get it cleaned.👍🇨🇦
I thought for sure you was going to tell us a mouse ran out of the vehicle while you was cleaning it lol! You did an amazing job like always.
I've always wondered, in cars this far gone, how do you clean the areas that aren't easily accessible to humans but easily accessible to small critters, like the air vents and ducting?
Without disassembly, I guess the only hope is to bomb it, use steam, and replace the filters.
So gross, yet so satisfying!
Do you ever remove the carpets so that you can pressure wash them when they're that bad? Or is it easier to leave them in?
Your channel has taught me if people just made the time, their car can look brand new. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us!
how often do you get repeated customers? and do they come back just as nasty as the first encounter you had?? i love your transformations, you do an amazing job!!
14. czcams.com/video/TDLMUvIkKPQ/video.html
Awesome transformation as always, and to be honest I'd never expect anything less. Though I'm curious about the footprints on the car seats before cleaning, either Canada has really big mice, or Mike went looking for snacks barefoot 😁
DG: “It’s a biohazard inside”
Me: “Nah, couldn’t be worse than the Chrysler”…😱🤢🤮
It’s worse…
Can't believe the owner -- whoever it was -- let it get this bad. Exceptional work and attention to detail, friend. I'm proud to have subbed to your channel. ^^d
This is proof that anything can be good again with alot of hard work, and dedication. Amazing job.
Question - how do you choose the music?
Absolutely unbelievable.. dude you breathed at least a second life into this car. And you are right.. maybe it was destined for the scrapyard after it had been neglected for so long. Awesome job, bro. Truly. My belief is if anyone treats their vehicle like this, they shouldn't have one. This detail was perfect. The car itself wasn't but your job most certainly was. Props to you, my friend. Truly amazing.
Incredible how you do it, I am amazed at the result. I applaud your dedication as always, cheers, Simon.
Absolutely incredible!! I'm in awe of your amazing talent and determination. Great job & may I ask did the smell go away?
Wow! Never thought I would be up past my bed time watching someone detail a car from start to finish. I am hooked!! That was crazy amazing! Thanks! :)
Ok...that was amazing!! That was an extremely dirty vehicle and you did a fantastic job of getting it as clean as you possibly could. Mind blowing!
This was a great watch 🙂 I just wanted to see you keep spraying that back door until that water from whatever niche it was ran clean lol!
Also, I feel like the sound balance has been getting more and more disparate lately on videos? I have to turn it way up to hear you talk and then way down on any music, even your outros.
A fellow Canadian here, born and raised in Lethbridge and (smartly) moved to Vancouver Island in 1979. Driving a 2010 Chev Equinox which could so with some TLC, but compared to that Traverse, my Equinox is pristine! Love your vids, love that you're Canadian, and happy to see so many respectful comments about Ukraine. Love is everywhere, folks. Imagine finding it on a car detail CZcams channel!
Amazing job! Do you do anything special to clear the stinch from the air vents? I saw someone online spray lysol spray down in them. Won’t do that in my car. Just figured this one’s vents stank to high heaven. I think you should start a new side gig and replace carpet in cars. Seems like that would be easier than scrubbing stuff like this one!
Yeah, can you imagine breathing in Lysol for the rest of the time you own that car. It's not good to breathe that in.
Your attention to Detail is outstanding, the complete turn around is Awesome.
It would be good to see what the engine bay looked like on that? In case their were mice under the hood.
It looks fantastic and I’m sure the owner was thrilled. This was one of those cars that it’s hard to believe could ever be functional again and yet you pulled it off!
Have you ever had an unsatisfied customer? And how did you deal with it?
You’re so thorough!!!
Do you ever change the cabin air filter or recommend to the customer for them to change it?
Good question, especially since it was inundated with mouse poop and pee.
That was my first thought when I saw the nest in the glove box. The cowl and the cabin air filter have to both be full of nest material, urine and feces from Fievel also
What >I< want to know is if he keeps all the spare change thats always in there.
Personally I cant NOT stop to pick up a coin.
@@projektkobra2247 he's mentioned in previous videos that spare change goes back to the owner.
I have asked/posted that question on numerous videos ..... always without getting an answer. I have also asked if he has ever taken out/removed the carpet from a vehicle to clean the carpet, remove to clean or replace the padding under the carpet, and clean and sanitize the floor pan. This vehicle qualified for those extra steps. Also, with the habitation and toileting of the mice, the vehicle needed more than the cabin air filter being changed out (actually, should be done with any of those especially dirty, dusty, filthy cars, otherwise if not done, the first time the air is turned on, they driver will be blowing dust into the car .... who needs that after paying big bucks to get your car cleaned). The venting running under the floor and through the door panels need to be clean and sanitized as well.
I had to have my car interior detailed (the detailer actually said, "Ma'am, this is a restoration job." I had a glass jug of root beer break which flooded the floor of my car ..... just the one side because of the hump, but still. (1999 Honda CRV) So, while he was at he did the entirety of the floor, removing the carpet to clean it, replaced the padding, cleaned and put a sealer on the floor pan (not that it was rusting, but was part of the package), and he cleaned the floor venting because the root beer had run down in the air vent. When he got done, the interior looked better than when I bought the car.
I randomly found you and I’m glad I stuck around, these videos are incredibly satisfying start to finish! Keep up the good work Mitch, and thank you for the videos!
This man deserves to be PRAISED. You are such a very hard worker 💪👍. I can't thank you enough for what you do. Thanks for sharing your awesome videos
There’s nothing the Detail Geek can’t do…..great job DG!!
Outstanding work! That was nothing short of a miracle cleaning this one! Awesome 👌 work.
I have a Traverse just like that. I love it,but it’s hard to clean all those creases on outside of that car. They hold dirt. Great job on this car! - - watching from Lake Wales, Florida
I'm actually speechless. Holy crap 18 hours that was nuts! It looks incredible now GREAT JOB!
Amazing results! Hard to believe its the same vehicle. Great job, Mitch!
Mitch does it again. His detailing is beyond reproach at this point and the best I've ever seen!! Nothing but respect for this man!!
What an absolute trash can on wheels. The carpets just looked like a pile of dirt. The transformations you make are always miraculous and look fantastic. Those carpets had an insane transformation and I’m sure the vehicles smelt really good after. Great job on the Traverse! Have a good spring weekend y’all!
That was a dumpster on wheels... rat pack party of 9? 🐀 I about threw up. 🤢🤮 If the car was that disgusting, just think of their home. Dear Lord! 😲😳 He is amazing by just taking on such projects! I would have worn rubber boots and not had that crud getting on my shoes. Great job detailing and great personality! 👍
For future reference, there is a fresh air filter behind the glove compartment, most can be rinsed and dried. Mice really like those.
I just want to say thank you for posting your videos. I have terminal metastatic colon cancer, and my oncologist told me last July 30 that I had one year to live, give or take. Your videos are helping me make it through each day, for which I am grateful beyond words.
Have you ever remove the entire flooring from a vehicle to clean underneath it🤔. You are amazing at what you do great detailing 👍👏🌟
I sure he has…anybody who has been doing this for a long period of time more then likely had to rip out seats and carpet
My house could use this level of detailing!! Great job! Car looks awesome!
Hope you're not comparing your house's condition to this car, Miss Christa, this car made me skin crawl.🙂
My 16 yr old son and I love watching your videos.. he said he wants to be like you. His dream is to detail cars, he says it would make his goal complete. Thank you for inspiring my son so much. I would to make his dreams come true but I'm on a fixed income and disabled. Again thank you so much he absolutely loves watching you
P.s. could you give him a shout out Justin Markley thanks
Damn it. Now I got the "Into the unknown" song stuck in my head 😄
Oh, and I'd just "abandon ship" with that carpet.
Idk if Mitch is getting bulkier or his shirts are getting smaller lol
This car stands as an example of Why We Can't Have Nice Things...
The way used cars at a all high price now and you are a miracle worker I have faith in you. Wish we had a detailer like you at the dealership I work at
18 hr detail job...BEYOND wow!! I can TOTALLY understand why, too!! Yet another GREAT video!! Keep 'em coming!!!
WOW!!!! You turned this nasty rat motel on wheels into a miracle. It really upsets me when some people could care less about taking care of their vehicles. Beauty of a job Mitch and I hope you have an awesome May long weekend!
The No tell Motel for Rats with tails... Rat family party of 9? 🤢😲😳
great job on the cleanup. if it were my car i probably would have gone for carpet replacement for a few hundred bucks.
Thanks Mitch for a great video and chat. That was one of the grossest interiors you have showed us. You turned it all around and made the Chevy usable again. Your work and your effort are amazing and I am so happy to be able to see it. Have a great weekend. Stoked for Tuesday's news!!
Thank you for a chat with me. Have a wonderful weekend! Yes, I agree with you. I like Mitch always keeps clean his hair neat and looks happy. Hey, I can recognize that his muscle still grows strong and healthy. Mitch is sweet and poignant care of all vehicles for the owners. Champ impressive! 😊👏
@@cynthiahopkins7090 Have a wonderful weekend. Yes, Mitch works hard and always does a great job. He has big arms from lifting all those seats out of cars. :)
Thanks Joel!! Can't wait for you to see Tuesday's video too! Have a great weekend!
I'm curious! When it came to cars with horrible smells in the past, you often would go to ozone treatment to neutralize odors like for smoking- but lately I haven't seen you do so? Is there a reason you changed the routine for treating vehicles with smells like that?
Dude, dude, dude, every fibre of hair on my body stood on edge, I physically shivered when I saw the state on that poor vehicle. Yet again mitch you rolled your sleeves up and turned that beast into beauty. Another stunning transformation and another amazing video fella. Outstanding
Beautiful job. I was very glad to read that he is going to a new owner. Hopefully they will treat him better than the last one did 🚙
Amazing cleanup ! Question ❓ Once your new studio / shop is fully operational, have you thought about taking on floor carpet out jobs ? Either way can't wait to see you pulling off these amazing transformations in the new shop.
Omg! "Herd of mice" "Rat turds". My dad always told my brother and myself as kids..."when you buy a used car...look at the interior...if it is trashed...the owners probably didnt take care of engine/routine maintenance." Enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing!
Ok, I'm certainly not the only one, but your channel is the reason why I vacuum my car at least once a month. Just so it never turns into one of your disaster detail! And I now use one of my wife's discarded make brush to vacuum the dashboard, and it really makes a HUGE difference!
My question and curiosity is, “how many brushes and scrubbing pads do you go through and how often?”
Mouse infestation 😯 It sure doesn't look like Mickey and Minnie were living in there, so it must have been their cousins from the other side of the tracks 😂
Don’t do it. It’s a scam.
@@joe.olivet Not to worry. Thanks Joe 👍
Absolutely great work man! This was one of the nastiest cars I’ve seen done and you did an amazing job at makin it look as good as new keep it the amazing work!!
You are incredible!!! I had very little hope for this car. Once again you rocked it!
Working in a dealership detail department I never understood how folks could spend 20-40k on vehicles and the shear abuse they put them through had a 2021 with less than 10k miles come in today and was absolutely trash humans are truely gross lol great job on this Mitch it’s amazing seeing what you can do with a trashed vehicle keep it up man
You gotta wonder what their homes look like?
I was wondering about that carpet. Since it was in such bad condition, do you know how much trouble it would be to replace it? After you have all the seats and trim removed, how much more work would it be to rip it out and replace it with new? Provided you could get either new or at least used in much better condition, possibly from a wrecked or salvage vehicle of the same model. Seems like that would be something the new owner would want to do, if it's possible.
Overall carpet isn't the worst thing to remove and reinstall, it's mostly just time. It does take some patience with a heat gun due to glue on the edges. i think it took me around 1.5 hrs to remove my carpet(rusty seat mounts took way to long).
My father owned a used truck lot & I worked there for MANY years. When I had a tough job (NO WHERE NEAR THIS BAD LOL) I would hit the rugs with the pressure washer 2 or 3 times extracting the dirty water after each time & then I would do the scrubbing, pressure washing 1 or 2 more times extracting after each time. PLEASE UNDERSTAND I am not telling how to do your job, you are AWESOME, I am just saying how I used to clean the rugs. Believe me when I say that I wish I had all the equipment that you have. I did my scrubbing by hand, I'M JEALOUS! LOL
Thanks for all the videos, they are extremely entertaining. PEACE ✌
Mitch (after giving the most polite expression of utter disgust I've ever heard) - "Harsh words, I know..."
Ever the gentleman! Lol
Would like to know if you clean the engine?
and do you check the cabin air filter?
Great work
From what I've seen in his videos, he only cleans the engines of the people who pay for the service otherwise he doesn't touch them much but he has in the past made videos on it.
I really am curious: Don't you sometimes fear about your health? It is not only the dust, debris, feces, etc...but also needles/sharps. Those would make me nervous!
Definitely in the category of biggest transformation. Another great job by DG!
So amazing! Love your videos! You are such a hard worker and do everything you can to help these poor cars! Also, we love your products! Excellent quality! 😊
Love your content started doing my own mobile detailing and now I own 2 pressure washers and a truck I’m still moving up I appreciate the opportunity to open something new for me
Hey Mitch,
Wow, what a transformation!!!🥰
As Always Amazing!!!🤗❤
Damn. When you showed the car finally finished, I thought my phone had cut to commercials!!! Really nice job.
👍 ❤️ 🚗 🇺🇸
I would have loved to seen the extraction on the driver side. I'm curious how to deal with destroyed carpet. None the less you got it clean. Another question, do you feel that taking the carpet out gets it cleaner?
That's as much an archeological dig, inside and out, as it a darn fine detailing. Nice work. You do manage to find new and interesting ways to challenge yourself and your standards for 'done.'
Sometimes you just have to say, "Don't let perfection get in the way of good enough."
The lyrics from Lynyrd Skynyards "That Smell" comes to mind.
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Seriously though, were you tempted to take out the carpets and just power wash them against a fence?
Great job Mitch!! And loved the guitar in outro!!
City/Suburban boy here (extremely few unpaved roads in the Delaware Valley, but I am amazed at the amount of dirt that gets trapped in the door and hatch seams. Another vehicle that I would spray with Lysol and then Febreze opening up. Praise the Lord for Respirators and Rubber Gloves. The client should probably have had you detail the engine too. Watching this I realized I am of a bygone era. As you cleaned the back of the driver's seat (I think), I was "Oh look! They made this with a map pocket!"
If the engine is in good shape, no reason to junk a car because it is dirty as you show in this video.
Happy Weekend. Quick question, would you ever think about adding time stamps? I know, i enjoy watching the whole thing but personally inside is a lot more interesting to watch get cleaned then outside and someone with not a lot of time could watch and see their favorite part without spending time clicking through to find the inside. Just an idea, great video as always tho!
Check the "Transcript" in the description, that's where you'll find the time stamps
