Clean/Detail The Dirty, Smelly Trunk Of Your Car On A BUDGET! Under $5.00! This is how!

In this video, I show how to clean and deodorize the trunk of your car, SUV, or hatchback on a budget. Most spills such as milk, gasoline, and other chemicals happen in the trunk or hatch area. the materials found in those areas are cheap and stubborn to work with. Also called Nylon Cut Pile. Original in most vehicles from the mid 1970's to present. 3/8" cut pile height with smooth, even, face appearance.

What tips do you have for that stubborn, entry level carpeting in trunks and cargo areas?

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

I use CLR or an APC but all cleaning depends on evaluation. I have cleaned extremely good trunks that I just have used the vacuum cleaner, but also some that had so much filth that I had to remove all and suggest the customer that it would be less expensive to replace the carpeting as well as the seal rubber. Had one that all carpet had concrete and paint so it was not worth it saving it. Once all replaced then protect it. When it is a normally dirty trunk, I remove debris with vacuum and use the GG6 to perform vibration on the carpet in order to lift sand and dirt while vacuuming, to clean use a drill brush maybe with APC and instead of Tide, I use All Clear with distilled white vinegar because it removes all scent too. Also have used the P&S carpet bomber, terminator and finisher, and also their extreme carpet stain remover as well as their foaming carpet cleaner and deodorizer with spearmint, even sometimes something as simple as Meguiars Carpet and Upholstery cleaner that has a new car scent

acid free petroleum jelly for the rubber and vinegar as a fabric softener works fine 😊👍

As always Brian! A good tutorial that's cheap, affordable, and informative with your extensive experience and knowledge!

[@apexdetail85]

Much appreciated!

[@bobhenn1692]

I used your cold water Tide trick from a video several years ago to remove smoke smell from my son's 2009 Civic. When he sold it, the buyer said they had never seen such a nice clean interior on a 10 year old car!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Love it! These instructional videos are the reason why KZbin exists! Love the intro...I could see you getting too far in your in head with it being so silent! 😆

[@apexdetail85]

Way too quiet!! 😂👍

[@markjohnson777]

I've watched almost every video you have ever produced and this was one of my favorites. Mainly because - as you noted - this is a low tech economical approach to cleaning the interior of a car. With hundreds of products on the market for detailers to choose from, it is nice to know that many times you have in your pantry exactly what you need to complete the job.

[@davestewart9146]

Thank you for laying a towel down to protect the paint, I thought I was the only one who did this, I’ve used your tide tip in the house and it works great, thanks Brian 👍😁

[@Gary_Rigs]

Great one liners on this one Brian. Again, always learn from your videos.

[@nster3]

For trunks like this or even leather interiors (i.e. vynil coated), Woolite works pretty well. Here in Montreal, Canada, most people have some kind of mat, like a WeatherTech, to prevent staining and make cleaning easier! Also, coating the trunk fabric with some Scotchguard waterproof stuff is another great prevention trick. Still, having the right tools saves you so much time and effort, and critically, makes you actually do it instead of putting it off!

[@jonschmunk7719]

Congrats Brian on the new location. Look forward to Future video giving us a tour

[@apexdetail85]

Coming soon!

[@davidboyce6427]

Just an excellent demonstration. I go back some of you older videos 5 years ago when you did the 1 oz of: Coldwater Tide, Dawn, Oxyclean and Superclean of all combo. I still use today👍. And your heavy hitter Spray Nine. I can’t thank you enough for all I’ve learned from your channel 🫡👌🤗👍🤜🏽🙏🏽

[@tommyholt3465]

I just use Tide’s Oxyclean detergent at 1-10 ratio as a lazy guy’s version of this concoction.

[@Chris-wb7ni]

Love the tide method. I have been using that for years. Also use some spot shot foam for the carpets

[@alanwallace3253]

Excellent as always. More like a refresher course from years ago. As a DIY’er in my early days, as I was learning ( a lot from your early videos, I did this mostly on fabric seats and interior rugs. Now after doing it professionally for several years with “expense”tooling , the one thing I like the best, is to remove the rear fabric covered..whatever it is , and use a tornador to blow out the sand so🎉 prevalent on Maui. Then vac and evaluate what has to be done to get back to as new as I can. No question this method works, I’ve done it several times

[@Realtor365]

Thanks Brian. This was awesome! It’s something that isin’t covered enough and an area we tend to ignore.

[@millerdetailing4176]

Great video and breakdown Brian definitely appreciate the tips and tricks content.

What a great demonstration. Thanks for doing what you do for us Brian! 🍻🍻🍻🍻 “37 Yuenglings deep at a party” 😂

I remember when you first showed that formula (Tide Cold water) that is all I use for upholstery now.

What measures plz?

Locker / morgue smell hahahaha! Nice one Brian!

[@richsmith3120]

I never would have thought about using CLR to clean that area.

[@thatdude3832]

Thank you for the Video, I never thought about using laundry detergent! I seem to always use my car soap and wash my carpets and then vacuum with my shop vac. I'll be trying this soon! Thanks again!

[@johnathancrumm]

I noticed that you have been using the laundry soap trick. I was impressed with the fabric softener tip👌🏼. One random person/stranger, gave me the tip of using hydrogen peroxide to help lift stains up for a stain extractor to get it all up.

[@matsudakodo]

Great stuff as always. I do wonder if the vacuum really gets all that detergent out though?

[@riccochet704]

those Ardex spray bottles are the best. They last so long, even with alkaline/caustic chemicals.

[@dvlop0018]

I appreciate you teach us to clean the things that we have and enjoy them. We all can’t own a Bugatti but can enjoy what we own with some effort. Shop manager was not there with you? I’m used to seeing and hearing the famous supportive bark, tail wagging.

[@paulrogers3511]

Fantastic video!

[@pwrshots]

Brian, my 2004 mach1 does not have that epoxy along top or sides. As a matter of fact, it is painted with a clear coat finish. I clean out the dust when I wash the car . I even spray some seal and shine in there. Btw, just did a lexus ES350 with gold carpeting. the owner had spilled coffee and never cleaned it. I hit it with tuff stuff and a a wet towel. I was able to get it out. In my trunk I have an after market mat with the mach1 wording on it.

[@ronayotte3571]

You have a new location? Congratulations!

[@elithegreat6463]

What would you recommend for the weather striping around the trunk/Hood/Doors to keep them pliable and not dry out ??

[@richsmith3120]

I've been using Mothers rubber protectant.

I would like to have some words with the guy how decided it was a good idea to put trunk carpet through out the whole vehicle. Lol . Good video brian . Trunks an be difficult to do not to mention a back breaker .

[@coreymerritt7742]

Hi Brian great video I still use your tide with febreeze method it always lasts about 3 weeks 👍 nice fresh scent

[@J1Z06]

I did a mini s type not long ago. The owner said "the interior smells like a combination of b.o .an ashtray and carpet that smells like the windows were open for a month" I used the P&S trio.... definitely helped. This might have cured it. I probably should have called You for advice. Thanks for sharing this! Echoing the others ... You are funny with Your choices of words! Heheheh Best of luck(I don't think You'll need it) at the new location. Thank You! Jay

[@apexdetail85]

I appreciate the kind words. Oh yeah....P&S is another option. 👍

[@J1Z06]

@@apexdetail85 I'm not sure if it's as effective as Tide? I just looked on the shelf and I have some Tide mixed up in a 32 oz. bottle.

Why are there canopies with lights indoors?

[@paulmouradjian6045]

Would a drill with a carpet brush save time and physical exertion for the scrubbing? Is there any disadvantage to use a drill brush?

[@apexdetail85]

Yes....but use something with softer bristles....i try to keep the fibers from fraying.

[@marioskosmidhs9454]

Great video again Brian sir. Congratulations. Please can i ask? Is the vacuuming enough to flush out the laundry detergent? Should be removed with damp mf or any other way?

[@apexdetail85]

To make sure all the residue is gone....just mist the area with water or peroxide and vac.

[@kimnewling5728]

Lol! Your explanations are priceless. I didn't know you were getting another shop. What to do with trunk gasket, or for that matter, any door gasket or seal? Does it pay? Some of the gaskets get old and hard and fall apart. What do you use on them? You're right about carpeting. I mean, is it really carpeting? Cheap trash is what I call it! Fun video. Good way to use what we have on hand. Nice! Thanks Brian.

Maybe an open container that would hold a gallon of white vinegar or 4 pounds of baking soda [ box ] to leave in the trunk for 24 hours . Or a ozone machine to let it run for a few hours with trunk closed .
