Barn Find DeLorean - First Wash in 20 Years!

[@EphemeralProductions]

That Delorean is so beautiful! 😍❤️

[@ThatMailMan]

The DeLorean is a car that I've always wanted but know I'll never own. As rare as they are it's so cool to see so many together in one place.

[@ian_ford]

I’ve used AMMONYC products for close to 8 years; awesome stuff! This would’ve been a fun Larry collab, but that was cool of him to ship out some products. 😎

[@mikemcelhattan954]

Larry is great to work with and so are his products!

[@JenzRock]

Classic car. What a difference.

[@kurtisaureliusmaximusw8453]

Why is that square there on the drivers side of the hood?

[@deloreannation]

That’s a gas flap door. It was on the earlier production cars and was eliminated on later cars.

[@AlexxMichael]

just super awesome !! Thanks for sharing

[@deloreannation]

Thanks Alexx!

[@thadmachia9873]

What a wonderful transformation! ❤

[@Frank-Thoresen]

Great video. I believe that you are at 1/4 in the detailing process of this car. Washing it is the easiest part. It's a long road but an adventure

[@deloreannation]

Thank you! Yeah we definitely have a long way to go with this one, we got the easy part done. The interior won’t be so fun.

[@longbedGTs]

Looks great!

[@rdm20fan]

What a great record on the history of this DeLorean.

[@DetailDane]

Looking Good! 🔥

[@djsherz]

Biff was busy that week, so well done Jason for filling in.

[@robbythompson2375]

Jason is a rock star at detailing!!

[@mrt864]

We use a good snow foam "J12". It's OK, just comes out in short bursts...

[@dennisschlieckau8723]

Wow! And that’s just the outside. Wait till you open the Jack storage area and find the rest of the Nests. Can’t wait for the regrain. I was wondering what brought Chris Nicholson to town recently 😉

[@deloreannation]

The cover for the Jack storage was off for some reason so the nesting in there wasn’t as bad as we anticipated but the one in the cubby behind the driver seat is horrible. Looking forward to getting all of that out on the next video. You’re spot on with Chris 👍

[@mikemcelhattan954]

Regrain video coming soon!

[@dennisschlieckau8723]

@@mikemcelhattan954 This is where the half-car demo would truly shine.

[@christianbattestin9747]

John DeLorean actually wrote a thank- you letter to Bob Gale for using the car in the movies.

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Cool story. Thanks for sharing.

[@alanjuarez8660]

What about doing a collab with WD detailing. I think he is very close to your location

[@ivankuljis1780]

Such an impressive first clean. Hard to believe it's been uncovered with only 977 miles on the clock.

[@deloreannation]

Thank you! We have a long way to go but that first clean was super satisfying.

[@jasonw6688]

DeLoreans are my dream car, and I love seeing the progress on this barn find! 😍 Since this video was washing the inside, will the next one be detailing the inside? Can't wait to see how that's gonna look!

[@deloreannation]

We’re working on getting the next episode going with this one soon! We’ve had a busy few months at the shop and have had to put this on hold for a bit but we’re ready to get back after it. We’re excited to get the interior cleaned up

[@DeLoreanCorner-vl9ub]

Already looks 10 times better! Watching that mess fly out from behind the grill 😬 I could almost smell it!

[@mikemcelhattan954]

What a mess behind that grill! So glad to know it's now clean.

[@randysanchez3960]

Thanks for the video. Cleaning job was very impressive. Never had to do a deep cleaning like that on mine. Can't wait to see how the interior will be. Wish I had a garage like that too! #5945

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Thanks Randy!

[@fader2701]

that whole car needs to come apart.

[@dennisschlieckau8723]

At minimum, pull the seats and carpeting. I’d pull the front and rear facias to really clean the crap out that isn’t easily flushed with the spray wand. It also allows access inside the rear pontoons ( underbody)

[@stephenbaines3722]

I need a Delorean in my life. Not a mint low mileage one as I can’t afford that. I’m in Ireland and would need to import one What is the going rate for a car needing tlc in the USA Great video

[@mikemcelhattan954]

Projects DeLorean are in the $20 to $40k usd range.

[@stephenbaines3722]

Thank you. Where is the best site other than eBay to find these cars for sale

[@sthildas4857]

Good idea to pull the dirt out manually, you can use pure shampoo. Dedicated Snow Foam has different chemicals that ph shampoo alone. My buddy has one of these cars..

[@IXapaKTEpHuk]

дивлюсь із задоволенням, як старі делоріани повертаються з небуття 🤣👍🔥

[@BlckSnShyn]

I’d love to get this Delorean! Do you think there may be more mouse nest in the fenders and behind more of the Stainless panels?

[@rwdplz1]

Used AMMO products on my Subaru STI since new, it still looked like new after 7 years when I sold it.

[@mystisith3984]

All in all I'm amazed at how well the stainless steel resists the assault of time. And I totally get the gratifying rush at getting the shine back on these beauty. That behind the grid exploration was a horror movie though. 😱

[@mikemcelhattan954]

More horror waiting for us on the interior!

[@thenerdyarab7622]

Has this car already been sold?

[@deloreannation]

Nope! It still residing in the shop. We’ve actually been too busy on other projects to get much done on this car since the video. Lots of things on the to-do list for it in the coming months and hopefully another video or two with it. Stay tuned!

[@Chaser2]

I think you would have gotten the same result just using dawn to start. It looks a lot better but it still needs work. Lots of uneven finish. I suppose you will regrain the stainless and get it looking it’s best later on.

[@ivankuljis1780]

Buying my 21st Century version of a 'Back To The Future' vehicle, CYBERTRUCK. Should make for some _CONTROVERSY_

[@BadgerBadgerBadger28]

So the foam did nothing

[@mikemcelhattan954]

Foam is great for show and does help keep the paint from being scratched. The high pressure wash does most of the work.

[@MR-vj8dn]

You’re wrong about the foam doing nothing or very little. It’s essential to prewash the car. Think layers, remove one at a time.

[@EphemeralProductions]

❤️❤️❤️

yuck!

[@omega_saxonia]

why didn´t you just travell to the future? the car would be clean in an instant

[@deloreannation]

We couldn’t find the Flux Capacitor in this one, otherwise that would be a great plan!

[@ordvno]

Step one in washing a barn find is to dehydrate all the poop behind the grille 🤮

[@MR-vj8dn]

By watching how you wash and treat this car I understand this specific one isn’t that important to you. I understand you have quite a few of these. Thanks for the entertainment though.

[@simon_1987]

Why even bother. That car is trash. More effort than its worth to get it driving right

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

We are up for the job. The exterior turned out great!

[@simon_1987]

@@michaelmcelhattan7238 it will be dry rottern the interior is a health hazard. And it's not exactly a rare car, lots of better examples for next to nothing out there
