As a Lightning owner, I wanna thank you for your beautiful work on this SVT. What a magnificent job you did on this gem.

[@TylerrFTW]

I have to say, this is some of the most thorough, high quality detailing I have ever seen. The amount of effort you put in really shows in the final product. Well done, you just earned a new sub. Keep up the good work!

Given just how bad a condition this vehicle was in, that was an excellent job. Well done young man

I said to myself "holy sh*t he took the seats out." Then he took the carpet out as well. Now that is a detail.

Plus he took the wheels off.

For some reason it doesn’t pick up on camera very well but the hood roof and various spots was actually very oxidized and pink

[@michaelalberson126]

The most precise and perfect restoration/detailing I have ever seen !!! You are meticulous and that’s a awesome wonderful thing!! With the exception of the worn seats and whatever is on the odometer this could have passed for a very low mileage used vehicle. Again the ultimate job I have ever seen!!!

[@NissanTy]

Such a shame someone would buy a nice performance truck and use it, as what it looks like, a work truck. Great job bringing this old girl back to life!

Dirty yes but for 21 years old it’s in pretty good shape.

[@friedrichklovski2271]

I owned a white 2000 lightning for about 13 years. I miss it so much, a mechanic auctioned it off while I was in the hospital sick. I loved keeping that truck spotless . show and race ready. Watching this brings back those memories, not that mine was ever dirty like this red one. Its nice to see all the steps you take, very much how I would do it. I'm definitely writing down the name of that wheel cleaner. Good show my boy

[@OCityHardcoreBeatz]

my respects to you .. that takes hard work.. plus i can tell you take pride in your work..

[@BFKAnthony817]

My late grandfather had a 2003 Lightning which was also red he bought brand new. Man that thing was so awesome. I got to take it around the block a few times but never got to open her up on the highway. He took me for a ride and really stepped on it a few timed. Was such a cool truck. They ended up selling it around 2010 with only 30k miles on it to a rich collector who had multiple Lightnings in his garage. I just wonder how she looks today.

[@morecrapforputdowns]

Amazing what time and effort can do. You easily add a few thousand back into the value of that truck, definitely the most extensive detail I've ever witnessed here on youtube, keep up the amazing work and content, you rock brother!

Lmao I didn't finish reading your comment and I was like "gee, $5 to $10 more huh? He must really be disappointed"

[@animationcrate]

Northy I agree. But for most average consumers, I'm sure they would appreciate a nice clean car. As a tree shade mechanic, I definitely prefer seeing the car as it is pre-detail so I can check for any leaks, any oil buildup, etc

[@brandonfox4866]

Wow man you’re amazing!!! I just wanted to say Thank you for sharing your tips and information on all the different steps ands stages of the cleaning process. You have no idea how much this is going to help when I start the cleaning process on a 2004 Expedition I just pick up for $1200 from a old high school friend with 90,000 miles and 0 issues. It just needs to be detailed and this video is definitely going to help me get it looking excellent. Thanks again man.

Bro, I loved this content. I really enjoyed because it was a snippet of every part of the detail. The longer videos are so cool. Please keep them coming!

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

Respect, because cleaning is my least favorite thing to do when I tear a build down and get ready for paint. It takes usually 3 days, sometimes 4 or 5 on the really old bikes, and seems as if it's never going to end, especially when you're literally starting with step 1, begin washing lol.

The attention to detail you have for detailing is amazing great work

[@rklos11]

Good cleaning, but might need to consider if under coating suspension parts like that is a good idea. Individually sanding each part and taping off the bushings and connections points at minimum for any undercoat. The way you did it is just gonna peel, water will get trapped in there, and the bushings gonna get gunked...up and not move freely. Gotta be careful with ABS sensor too. I learned a lot from your cleaning, so just giving my advice right back at ya :) coming from a guy who pulled apart brakes on 98 Ford escort zx2, and rebuilt with basic tools. Resurfaced rotors, in the driveway, new pads, bled my brakes and drives hard with no problems for a year now. I'd say fluid film is a better alternative, to repel water, and not clog up your suspension, letting it move freely. Or just leave the old grease on it. Cleaning off old grease is not always worth it, if it's behind the wheel, and still protects from rust 🤷‍♂️ I'll be back again to learn more of your amazing cleaning and degreasing skills tho! 👌🏼🔥💯
