- Deep Cleaning a NEGLECTED Ford Focus! | The Detail Geek
This Ford Focus was absolutely FILTHY and full of bug guts on the exterior and the inside wasn't much better! It needed some intensive deep cleaning and detailing to get it looking new again and the transformation it makes is INCREDIBLE!

Loved seeing the dirt just melt off the car like that! Thumbs up the video if you enjoyed this one!!
Also, make sure you’re subscribed to the second channel so you get notified of the live streams I’ve been doing over there - they’ve been a ton of fun!
Awesome work bro. Was wandering where your products are made?
Loving the livestreams!!! 🤤💜💜💜 So chill!
How come you do not ship to the uk? Good video👍
When the bug spray is so good it loosens the bumper.
Awesome work 👏 just wish we had someone like you where I am.
How he makes the vehicle’s look brand new is amazing. He is definitely a perfectionist. The transformation is incredible.
It's good to see you were really focused on this job.
I'll see myself out
Oh god
Well In case you forgot
the door is this way 👉🚪
Absolutely incredible transformation. My resident who’s OCD caught me watching this while on break today; safe to say he loved it. Biggest compliment you could get. 🥰
Really....and he said nothing about the mis matched hubs? I'm over wishing the owner would either buy a new set or take the remaining ones off, but to have a mix of hubcap and no hubcap....😬 madness.
Hi Dr send your Mobile number via mail
You're doing rotations, presumably will be a resident Dr in 1-2 years, and you are still calling it OCD? Liking things neat or organized is not OCD. Have you not rotated to a mental health clinic or wing of the hospital you're at?
@@manojmanoj-mh5jd I'm sure she'll get right on that, "manoj."
First Street Sleep Chair
Fabulous as always. Let's hope that the younger brother takes more care of it; although you wouldn't mind detailing it again!
It’s my car abs I will take care of it so thank you kindly
@@jpvending I usually skip vids when the vehicle has already been detailed but your brother did such a number on it, it was worth seeing it again 😂👌
You're gay
@@jpvending Why can't you clean your own car?
@@Highgear145 what kind of question is that
I bought this steamer you recommended, and I love it. I use it in my house as well. It's gets all my white grout clean and bright, and my other floors squeaky clean with no harsh chemicals. Thank you for letting us know about quality products.
I'm a Life Skills teacher in a middle school and we watched this video after learning about how to keep our car clean. They were impressed and inspired.
One of my favourite things is the brief pause you do when you find something unexpected 😂 the comedic timing is great
And the look at the camera with some of them.
Yes very funny
Yes absolutely 🤣
The Focus turned out so good. The pressure washing part is definitely my favorite part of the detail. Have an amazing weekend Mitch.
Me: finshed binge watching all of Detail Geek's vids
Detail Geek: " there is another"
“Another channel...” 😁😁
This was defined one of my favorite details you’ve done besides the farm trucks you’ve done in the past just because of the insane transformation this car made! Well done as always Mitch!
Farm Trucks are the Best!
Agree! Something about this one was so satisfying!
It’s insane how clean you can get these cars. White cars are always my favorite,you can really tell the difference! Great Friday vid as usual. I’m loving the ASMR live stream feeds you’ve been doing,really cool to see you doing that for your subs!!
Thank you!
I’d really appreciate a beginner’s video of the how’s and why’s of detailing. I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos; they’ve become my Friday tradition now. Keep it up!
Check out Chris Fix It’s page. He has some really good content from a few years ago for beginners detailing their car. Good place to start and no waiting for Mitch to make a video :)
Watch Wilson Auto Detailing. He has great content and focuses on the business aspect of professional detailing
There’s about a million videos just look it up
Check out his other channel, Detail Geek 2
So happy for your success Mitch! Started watching when I was confined to a wheelchair for six months and your videos really helped me thru that time. And I still think you look like Kenny Chesney lol congrats man!
Kinda lol
WAAAYYY better looking than Kenny though 😘😎
Kenny looks rough these days. Mitch looks nothing like em, contact eye doctor asap.
Now that you mention it he kinda does
@@xALi3Nx he is also around 50 too.
If that was my car I would change those crusty a** looking rims/wheels asap.. but great video as always! love when you clean white cars. :)
It’s actually my car and the one hub cap still has to go on
@@jpvending no throw the wheels out and get nice wheels 17-18 inches at least :) And avoid the roads your brother used to drive on so it doesn't look like it did at the beginning of the video
@@DJJumpdancer the out side was from me we live in a farm and have to drive on gravel
@@jpvending thats sucks ^^
We call them wheels not rims, not trying to sound like a dick, just wanted to inform you what they’re called. Have an epic day sir :)
I bought a silver 2011 Focus as my first car in 2015 for 10k. Had 68k miles on it. I traded it in at 105k in 2017. I spent about $1,000 on maintenance during that time. Brake pads and rotors, tires, and spark plugs. That's it! They're a great commuter car, good on gas mileage, safe, and comfortable.
I still regret getting rid of that car. Last time I checked the CarFax it was still running strong. Has had some suspension work done, and thermostat replaced. Was at over 130k miles.
I own the manual version and have had no issues as well. Great cars
I stop at my favorite gas station every day to clean off the bugs I pick up on my commute to work. Once the sun bakes it on, bug splatter is a nightmare to remove. Kudos to mamma here for making sure her boys stay presentable!
Everyday? You clearly have way too much free time. It takes about 5 minutes to clean all the big splatter (mainly love bugs) of my car with a dash bug remover. Much easier and quicker than stopping EVERYDAY.
You actually felt it necessary to critique my car care habits in the comments section of a CZcams video? Clearly, I'm not the one with too much time on their hands.
Gotta love pressure washing stage. It's my favorite part of washing👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Mitch, another great experience this morning. It's so cool that you made this filthy focus clean and sharp again for the kids first car. The interior was just as bad as the first time we saw this little car. I am excited to hear new merch is on the website. Can't wait to see what new products I can't live without. I gotta say, everything I have gotten from your site has been excellent. I can't say enough about the products. Thanks for another great start to the weekend! Take care!
Thanks Joel! Always a pleasure reading your comments. Have a good weekend!!
Am I the only one just wanting to wash my car immediately?! 💕 sooooo satisfying 👀
“As I bring things into focus”. Lmao. I appreciate the pun
Can we get vlogs every now & then where we kind of get to know you? Or like behind the scenes of you operating your Detail Geek auto care business? Love your content as always!! 🖤
Looks great! On the pre-wash rinse I said in my head "that is one filthy gas cap", and you instantly popped it open to rinse it out!
Wow amazing car transformation!
Also very satisfying to watch the pressure washer get all the dirt off the vehicle.
Slow-mo side to side wash mit crew reporting in! Let's hope little bro can show this Focus the love it deserves 🤙🏽
New viewer here and loving your vids. I think my favorite part of your detail work, besides satisfying my OCD, is carpet cleaning. Seeing how much dirt is extracted from the carpet is amazing, and how fresh and clean the carpet looks after. I keep imagining that the vehicle must smell so much better when you are done. I'll be clicking subscribe and hitting the bell. Thanks!
Once again,great work with the Detail Mitch .You are one of my favorite Detailers that made me have a dream to start my own detailing business of my own :)
Thank you for these videos. I watch these between phonecalls for my very stressfull job and its incredibly relaxing!
Love how you're literally moving the WHOLE car while drying it with off the microfibre towel and noone's talking about it! I see you biceps 😏😎😂
he fine as hell but also those cars are only 2600 lbs and the suspension is probably ALLLL worn and shot it’s probably not too hard to move.. he still fine as hell tho
Thanks for cleaning this car and bringing it back into 'Focus'.
This is quite the family affair, hopefully brother #2 will keep it cleaner than the first one! If he’s smart he’ll book it in with you to keep it looking good as only you can make it. Another fine job done.
Or just take care of it. I don't clean my car often on the outside but the interior is easy to keep clean if you're not a pig
@@coldfire4369 True enough! My husband’s first car looked like this but to him it’s simple transportation. Our truck is much better but I do the detailing.😊
@@schoonergirl2658 It's the opposite with me. My wife's perspective is "if it drives, it's fine". Drove me nuts riding in her car until she finally let me clean it! Looked and smelled much better afterwards. Since then, I've actually owned the cars we've used, and they're constantly being cleaned, because I'm a neat freak.
This generation of Focus is/was a really good car, so it's nice this example was brought back to life so to write.
Excellent work detail geek as always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Little Bro should be happy after getting that fresh detail. Nice Job!
You should make a Detail Geek spray paint or something for the rust spots. That’ll be so cool. As always, awesome video 🙌
Great job. I use to have a detail shop back in the late 80's and would charge $80 for a full detail like this. Engine detail was about $30. It's very satisfying work, not to mention a lot of fun. I miss my shop so I live vicariously through you lol. Again, great job 👍😎
I love seeing the transformation! I do wish people would throw away their trash before handing it over to you.
I bought a bisell spot clean. Super easy to clean my jeep carpet. Went to clean Subaru carpet and it’s awful… hard to vacuum, even using drill brush and just ended up power washing the carpeted floor mats. Definitely appreciate how you can clean crummy carpets!
Would you ever consider making DG Nation decals for your supporters.
Yess! We need some stickers or decals Mitch!
Interesting idea!
You got me into the love of detailing. I am not the detailer for my dealership and they said I'm the best they've had. Waiting on my order from you to help with that process
Hi Mitch! Great job on this detail. The power wash was my favorite part of the detail hands down. Instant difference. 😁
Best pressure washing shots of the year? Maaaaybe.
Loved this week's video, thanks man.
Awesome job as usual. I hope the new owner takes better care of the car than his brother. Then again, at least we get quality content if he doesn’t 😜
I own a Ford Focus 2008 2 door coupe with 85 thousand miles on it, and i would never treat my focus like that, i love my little car and try to take good care of it, it was amazing what you did for that focus, right on!!!!
"It's clear there was quite a bit of dirt in them"
Me: adjusts microscope
It is so satisfying to watch you cleaning and washing all of the cars and trucks you do.
Love the videos! Question: Do you clean seatbelts with APC or upholstery cleaner? The beige ones can be pretty dirty sometimes! (Black ones too, but it’s less visible)
"As I bring things into focus.." I see what you did there. Well done sir.
Hi! When you created you're own iron decontamination spray, were you able to improve the smell? I remember when you used other brands you said the smell was pretty bad.
I wondered that too! 🤔
Love to watch tyre cleaning part. Please make more compilations. It’s soooo soothing ❤️
Process question: why did you decide to not remove the hubcap(s) when pressure washing?
I'm guessing it's to not risk breaking them when removing or installing them
Hubcaps are plastic, and they have plastic clips that holds a metal retaining ring. Those plastic clips can often break when removing hubcaps. It's not worth it just to clean stamped steel wheels.
@@littlejackalo5326 yeah I get that, but when he is taking apart an entire center console to get dirt, seems like the same thing on the exterior. Im not disappointed, I wouldn't do either for the exact reason you mentioned lol
Not sure why but these videos are so calming and satisfying 👍🏻
Keep up the hard work!
Props to you my man!! I’m new to the channel but love it! It’s pretty amazing that you took your everyday job and made it into an awesome CZcams channel! Never thought I’d enjoy watching someone detail a vehicle!! Job well done 👍🏻
Hocus pocus, there’s no more dirt on your focus
I love seeing the tires getting done. I’m not sure why, but it is so satisfying seeing them look clean, and then you scrub after spray them and they’re still a little dirty, but after the final rinse they look brand new.
Also, I have a question. My friend spilled a Starbucks drink in her car several months ago, and dried it up when it happened, but now there’s some mold on the carpet underneath the rubber floor mats. How would you go about getting rid of the mold? It’s purple, and only a super small spot, but nothing she has seen online has worked.
Imagine getting your first car and instead of being responsible and learning to care for it yourself, your mom pays to get it detailed. Incredible job, just kills me to see vehicles get abused like this.
May not have the stuff to make it look super nice. Yeah, the kid could have washed it with a hose and some car soap, but it wouldn't look as nice. My first car was a 2007 Kia Spectra, may it Rust in Pieces. Took care of it best I could, though the previous owner left much to be desired with the condition. All I had for the interior was some soapy water.. Scrubbed the inside of that sucker until my hands hurt. Looked much better though!
Imagine your mom paying for the detailing because she is sick of seeing it that filthy, then buying it from you to give it to her younger son, but having to pay for it being detailed once again... There's a pattern there...
I agree. The lesson learned here is don’t bother to keep your car clean and Mom will pay to get it detailed
I'm from Germany and your videos were an inspiration for me. Nowadays my car looks brilliant because of the cleaning skills that you are offering for free. Thanks a lot for your good work. Every friday after work I am resting on my sofa and enjoy the new video. All the best!
L
Love getting to see your cute socked feet in the videos! Your socks are always so bright white. You must use some of your Detail Geek cleaners in your laundry lol.
You are the gold standard in automotive detailing! 👍🏼
He really said "bring things into FOCUS" while detailing a Ford focus and showing the car name as he was pressure washing the back of the car
If I were to ever get my car a detailed cleaning it would most definitely be from you man great work keep it up 👍🏽
Great transformation on the Ford Focus. My sister n law owns one. It has cloth seats. That gives my Extractor a pretty good work out.
So relaxing to watch before bed 😴💕 Great job Mitch!!
Dude this guy is amazing like he actually cares about the car HE CLEANS UNDERNEATH THE CAR idk anyone else that does that
Always love the reveal!
Suggestion: have you considered filming the dirty car like you film the after, and then BLINK BLINK…it’s clean! Just a thought!
Amazing what the interior can transform back into, nice!
Hey Mitch! This one was super satisfying, I love seeing the dirt sprayed off of a white vehicle. 🥰 Thanks for the awesome video and livestreams, everyone is so much fun! 🙌
Every time I watch one of your videos it lights a fire under my butt to get stuff done! Great video as always Mitch!
Thanks Ashley!
You know you live on the prairies when there's a bag of Spitz in the glove box.
That was very nice to watch!! Great job as always, Mitch! See u in next video!! 😁
Great is the Detail Geek for another fantastic detail. Well done, love when cars are muddy like that. Could u do a before and after shot of the undercarriage when it is cleaned? Would appreciate that.
I love your videos, I have a few suggestions hope you would not mind.
1. Remove the wheels off car, if not alteast the wheel caps, this is very much required.
2. Show us your vacuum pump once, I can't imagine how big the machine would be.
3. Do you also do ceramic coating?
All I can say is "WOW!" 😍 Amazing job as always!
Yes Boy! Friday reminder!
My favorite part is when you do the initial rinse of the tires....all that dirt rinsing out!! Soooo satisfying!!!
Great detail! Are used to have a 2001 Ford focus and enjoy driving it very well. Now I have a GMC Acadia and I really love it!
Love it!! Excellent work as always!
But I'd like to see the amount of trash and debris total that you vacuum out as well as the extraction bucket!
Great job Mitch. One lucky young man.
Hi from New Zealand! A couple of questions for you,
1) How would you clean a soft fabric insert in the door card?
2) How would you remove hard water spots/scale from glass?
Looking forward to your next video! :)
Great work! People like you and Chrisfix are why I’m such a perfectionist when it comes to car stuff 😅 You’ve earned a subscriber 😁
Mitch never disappoints! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻 DG
That rear end pressure Washing though! Cut thru that dirt like BUTTER!!!
Mitch! I’ve always wondered what that tube you put into your wall is before your vacuuming process?? Is that the plug?? Is that cord the vaccuum cord or how does that work? Are Canadian and American plug outlets different?? 🤣 pls EXPLAIN AND SHOW US!!
It’s an absolute treat just watching you detail keep it up 👍
I'm glad I keep my Focus looking better than that! Then again, that's also thanks to Mitch for inspiring me to keep my car lookin' spiffy.
You are so good at what you do. Love watching the transformations!
Those bugs, oh my god!!!!! What a crazy transformation, love it!!! 👏
If your drill brushes have a hex shank, you should try the Ares but extender. Has a really nice magnetic quick release for when you're switching between bits (or in your case, brushes)
Watching these are so satisfying. They also make me want to go clean my vehicle. 😁😁 I absolutely LOVE the transformations!! AMAZING 👏
Happy Friday means a new Detail Geek video is out! Outstanding detail for a repeat customer--can't believe it only took a year for the outside of the car especially to get really gunked up again, although I thought the carpets held up well from the previous detail. Nice that this little Focus is being kept in the family and still in use. Now I have to go find the video from when this car was first detailed by you!
Imagine that dirt was dust from the lawns.
The Focus turned out to be great. Great job Mitch
Nice! Great job as always! Hopefully new owner will keep it clean!
Words don't describe how good this guy does that what he's doing lot of props to the detail geek because he's exactly the guy I would want to detail my car
Wow!!!😮 it was a big difference seeing the bugs 🐛 come off the bumper, very good.
Just found your channel last night and I got to say these videos are relaxing to watch my 2 favorites parts are the pressure washer and the foam I was watching one video last night it helped me fall asleep 😴 😄 I have also subscribed 😊 you do a great job
Always an outstanding detail!👍
"As I start to bring things into focus"... LOL. Nicely played...
He has the most satisfying job in the world🤩
You got the Magic Touch!! I am definitely going to shop your products!!
I caught that... "Bring things into FOCUS here." I see you 😄
