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 ♥️

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. Thanks for your exceptional videos, Mitch!

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.

Simply an amazing transformation. There is no other way to describe it. The details of how that vehicle ended up that way including being abandoned would be fascinating. Well done sir...well done.

[@garyf2871]

Mitch, I read somewhere a few years back it was recommended that seatbelts should be cleaned only with water due to chemicals in detergents that can gradually weaken/degrade the strength of the material. 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. Just an interesting thought that hit my mind when I saw the seatbelt wash down. Great job as always!

[@mrclassic2284]

Seatbelt strength degrades with time as well. Newer materials help but i have read seatbelts loose about half their strength in 5 years.

[@brettstokes4038]

I wonder if he steam cleans them. I would if I had the ability to.

[@zahidhasan1431]

[@kylehufton9200]

I think on his second channel one of the videos he jet washed his shoes with them on at the end so maybe that’s why they’re so clean

[@themischievousgentleman5521]

He charges for a new pair of shoes with every wash. 😁

[@tomperkins5657]

Couple weeks back, I actually had that question in mind!!

[@queenmomo4808]

Btw amazing job !! ❤️👌 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.🤷🏻‍♀️

[@genelleduran9069]

I have been watching your videos for a couple of years and in every single video your work is excellent no matter how old or junkie the vehicle is comes out looking brand new! I was watching this video and had to comment about the hidden dangers that can cause cancer in or around mines and I was glad to see you wore your protective face mask during the renovation, I wish you were in the United States I would have had some work for you, but Canada is just too far away from Colorado! I will be looking forward to your next video Sir!

[@branithforbes2675]

Hey Mitch, love the videos man. But just a heads up next time, as someone that has worked at Gold Mines for the last 4 years, I suggest oxidation of the paint from the different chemicals that are on the roads at the mines. But it looks great like everything else man. Keep it up

[@tericrazychick]

I can’t wait to see the transformation. You always do fantastic work and have a way of making a vehicle look new.

Just brought all his made chemicals last week. They came in and got to use them for my detail company. The products wow I am super impressed with the quality it push out. Well worth the money spent. Customers see a huge difference from other chemicals I use before. Now Detail Geek products are a little more cost than the chemicals i buy from others but I am definitely making a switch!

[@spencero9228]

@@oscarwilde5473 not at all, I could show proof of paying full price and/Or even show videos of his chemicals being use on cars I detail. I did stats his products are much more costly and honestly I wouldn’t continue to buy more if the quality wasn’t great. Plus my “about” was written when I was making videos and stuff for my page. However, I don’t and it wasn’t worth my time anymore. Now you can either buy some yourself and see for yourself or you can just see for yourself just by watching his video.

[@spencero9228]

@@oscarwilde5473 I would be promoting my products and merch a lot too. It’s something to be proud of. Products are not easy to make especially safe, and effective. Look you can hate the man and his “promotion.” At the end of the day though, it’s not for every one and not everyone will agree. The man is starting out and maybe the prices will change too. However, for now you’ll just have to suck it up and take it in with a grain of salt. I will say I am always trying new products and always finding what’s better. Chemicals Guy products was up on the top (some of stuff is still the best) but Detail geek products is pushing out quality and he’s not lying about how his stuff works. So I give him perks for keeping it real and not trying to oversell his stuff.

I'm curious what your process is after detailing the carpet this far to ensure it fully dries out and doesn't brew any nasty smells. I just recently did an extraction on my 05 ram which was really nasty, after a few days it got a pretty nasty smell on the interior now

[@MrWolfSnack]

You likely made the carpet too wet when shampooing and did not dry it out fully and you soaked into the underlayment pad which is where the smell is coming from.
