Figure that was probably $1000 in detailing. Now someone needs to do about $3000 worth of body work and maybe $2000 in mechanical work and you'll have a solid $1500 car! Might even last a few years depending on how bad the oil sludge is.🤣 Good stuff, love the presentation, and appreciate the equipment/materials links in the description!

[@amsells]

Came here to say the same. KBB value is $1.2-2K. This will be a great car for a teenager or college student.

It'll probably get sold at auction for someone to restore or break up for parts.

Speaking in the voice of Stefon from Saturday Night Live: "KZbin's hottest content is from The Detail Geek. This video has EVERYTHING. Dust, rust, gravel, tar residue, time grime, clumps of dog hair, loose dog kibble, a big scary knife, stray cigarette butts, an empty Tim Horton's cup, a blue plastic hard hat, loose change, center console used as an ashtray..." These older, neglected, "rejected by dealership" or smoker's cars are my absolute *favorite*. You worked your magic with this disaster vehicle and I'm sure the dealership was amazed. Hard to pick a favorite part, but I'm going to say it's a tie between the carpets and the center console cleaning. BRAVA!

[@stevencass8849]

I used to do detailing for a dealership. I always got the ones like this, because I loved to scrub a car inside and out, and if the boss thought he could get some good money out of it, he would give me leeway to take the car apart and clean it, buff it, touch up the paint, and send it out. Loved the process of seeing a car/truck go from filthy to clean.

A detail like that would probably cost 1,000 bucks. The car might be worth 800 bucks. Incredible transformation though.

[@ramanshah7627]

Yeah outside of KZbin economics, I suspect this car would just get melted down. I suspect that the fair market value of this detail (+ of the body work and mechanical work as selected to maximize value) would not leave a big enough margin between scrap value and resale value to make it all worth doing. To get out of the $1-2k price bracket where the car is a disposable learning vehicle for a teenager, there is a ton left to do beyond the detail: upholstery repair, some replacement of hard-to-source plastic interior parts, at least a heavily triaged bill of body work given that almost every panel is horribly dented, rusted out, or missing paint. And the mechanicals are likely a deep rabbit hole: I doubt that someone who treated a car's visible parts like this was on top of invisible things like oil changes and other preventative maintenance. But I could be wrong.

​@@TheDetailGeek During my few years working as a used car mechanic before transferring over to new cars, I've had a few of these mobile ashtrays to inspect for trade-in value, while most make you want to puke when you open the door, the worst I ever had was when some 500lb sweat hog traded in a car, it smelled so bad you couldn't even get in the front seat without getting sick even after spraying everything with odo-ban. Even after transferring to new car service we dealt with discusting cars. I had one once that had 20-30 wads of pre chewed tobacco spit out on the dash fermenting in the sun, and several times when looking for warranty paperwork in the glove box have found used condoms and used tampons being saved for who knows why. Once I had fast food trash filling the back seat up to the tops of the front seat headrests, and I had an engine with so much sludge inside you could read all the writing stamped on the valve cover after it was removed. I can testify your videos really happen.

I love detailing link nothing else and take extreme pride in my work as you do too. I always say when I'm dealing a vehicle, what make the vehicle look bad and work from there every time. I'm so glad to find your channel and look forward to seeing more. Take care and thanks for your hard work!

I laughed so loud at 1:44. Now my co workers know I'm not paying attention in this meeting.

[@casper14301]

How was that so funny?

[@KingJuice215]

@@casper14301 not wantin to risk ‘damage’ to da car tho it’s destroyed in need of this detail. People in other comment threads caught it 😂😅

[@casper14301]

​@@KingJuice215 I understand that, but as a businessman, he should avoid causing damage to any car, regardless of its initial condition. Even if it's going to the scapyard after the detail you avoid unnecessary damage.

[@Arthur5000]

I always enjoy when you steam the car while using the cleaning products first

[@JLH111176]

when you dumped out the vacuum bag I coughed and wasn't even there

[@christopherc8324]

Well, I'm impressed. Getting that rolling ashtray/dumpster that clean! Way to go, y'all!

[@StarshineGoomba]

Oh man, the fact that the center counsel looked almost blue-grey by the time you were done with it, that just says how bad it was. And yeah, the fact that you could still *see* some of the dog hair after everything you did bugged me, but I also could tell that it was a permanent part of the car now. So considering everything? I call this a 100% success.

[@TheDetailGeek]

Bugged me too but sometimes you have to face reality. Turned out incredible though!

[@SedraKotova-wb9ib]

You never fail to keep it interesting!

[@mayjan74]

I can tell already this will be a satisfying video. I’m really looking forward to the extraction process! ETA: Mitch, surely this vehicle takes top spot as the worst disaster you’ve ever done. Grossest part was the carpets.

[@TheDetailGeek]

Haha it very well could. All these disaster details are unique in their own way though so it’s hard to say which one is actually the worst. There’s a handful that are in that conversation though and this is surely one of them 😄

[@Olivia-gi7mk]

Your dedication to your skill is irreplaceable.

[@tomokokishi3066]

30:05 the best 😂

[@Algerhythm]

The only lie on this channel is the time it took to detail…. We all know you did this in 30:41 minutes, not several hours

[@GardettoJones]

Wish we had a Lilly Brush during my stint as a detailer. It was, "vacuum 'til you die!". Pet hair was the worst; could never get all of it. That center console...man. Glad I quit smoking!

[@anthonylewis8494]

I just inherited a car from my stepdad who just passed away. I hadn't seen him in 4 years and since he had no other family I got the car. He was a life long smoker and luckily the inside wasn't too bad. It reeked like crazy and there where a few burn marks. I managed to get it cleaned. Thankfully, the outside was fine and he kept it clean.

[@dolphinlover1691]

Hands up those who felt sorry for the poor dog 🐕 🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🙋‍♂️

[@robertdesantis6205]

🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐😢🐶💔

[@vikrantxhooda]

20:24 whole car big brother

[@fs1512]

Whoever buys that car, despite your heroic hard work, is gonna be sorry. Unless they are a chain smoker.

[@ilovesheryterry]

the smell is all gone after a week in summer with all windows open. leave it in the sun and even chainsmokers cars wont smell

[@estercns]

Man, you are an artist. I'm so glad Mack from the channel Midwest Magic Cleaning mentioned you in a video and now I'm here!!!

[@candice2775]

As a detailer myself, my hat's off to you. Excellent job as always. You're the only detailer I watch. This vehicle's interior reminds me of stolen rental vehicle's I detailed upon recovery. Just degrees of nastiness.

[@Fenix-qp8gr]

you deserve a gold medal for this kind of work

[@DAnnaSharon-x3g]

The headlights! Holy cow. Those and the headliner cleaning were my favorites. Amazing job.

[@AlphaQ23]

This kinda car was my home for a year and a half up in Oregon. Such a fun car.. Passenger seat being my bedroom was actually not bad.. When it was days off.. either the night shift before I'd drive 190 miles out to the pacific ocean or Up to MT Hood. Waking up and being able to lock her up and just go on a nice beautiful hike was such a nice time in life.

[@yaddamop6309]

Hopefully the thing runs well. It would make a nice first car for some high schooler or student going off to college. The whole thing came out better than I was wondering myself. Then, again, that's why you're the pro! Super job!

[@varunchandhar3352]

Hey Mitch I am surprised by how well you know your audience. It was exactly the same thing running on my mind when I saw that License plate and within seconds you talked about like as if you read my mind. I am so glad to be part of this community and may all those dirty vehicles in your city come straight to your garage😂

[@cassie.m.0723]

This channel is getting me revved up to go outside and deep clean my car 😂

[@someguy9440]

Returning the loose change is maybe the most Canadian thing I've ever heard 😆 Well done, man 👍

[@loboantonio2486]

In my opinion,this was one of the most impressive turnover you made! BRAVO monsieur from France.👍👍

[@2006gtobob]

I'm really surprised the headliner wasn't far worse! Great job overall! One tip, if you don't already do this, run the recirc while the ozone machine is in the car.

[@beancounter9mm]

After a long day at work your videos and voice are relaxing. Thank you!

[@robertadams7318]

As a former mechanic I applaud you for taking on the task of cleaning this absolutely disgusting car. I had to work on vehicles like this and it never ceased to amaze me how people would treat their cars.

[@fredsmith1970]

its not for resale - its for content - but loving what you did to it.

[@lordboombastic5946]

This car strikes me as a construction workers car. When I was in the trades, I saw many cars similar to this. Mine got messy and smelly at some points but I made sure to keep it as clean as I could and give it a thorough cleaning every few weeks.

[@mphillips4324]

New channel to follow! Videos like this makes my mild OCD happy lol

[@STAYniacHeather]

You are so patient! Teach me your ways 🙏🏻

[@scarletbegonias8991]

Intro is so funny, he's so excited about how dirty it is. Lol!

[@doremifaso07]

I am amazed (stunned actually) by the transformation of that car. When I first saw it, I was along the same line as the car dealership...."uncleanable". Mitch, dude you're a DETAIL BEAST! Sweet Georgia Brown--UNBELIEVABLE!

[@burgerpossum24]

Honestly man I'd love to see what you find in the cars. Yknow, what you give back. A baggie of coins, knives and tools, etc. Have you done a video on the more strange things you've found in cars?

[@bliglum]

Hand-crank windows! Ahh, that takes me back!

[@JJGuccione]

You did a great job, gave great advice, and the ashtray was the worst. Good luck - Thank You

[@THEsmell10]

Johnny B. Goode at the end was fire!

[@daynaswan427]

You are a hero. I hate it when machines are treated so bad. I bet these people treat themselves and people in their lives probably get the same type of treatment. Sad really. If that car had feelings it would hug you.

[@tommyshivers2630]

Oh my what a nasty car. My car is the one spot I have that is perfectly clean all ways. I am super impressed with your cleaning abilities. I have learned a lot of techniques from you, thank you, you rock.

[@daltonanderson2918]

You do unbelievable work. These look like completely different vehicles by the time you are done. But for some of them, like this one, I still don't know how a dealership could ever sale these cars at any point. There is still so much damage that no amount of detail can fix it. You are absolutely right that its the down side to any trade promo but I'm shocked they don't junk it. After your cost I still don't know how there is any room to make money selling this thing.

[@blakeneef]

The Prince Albert sticker adds a nice touch to the car

[@pliktl]

You are an angel ❤ car rescue for happy happy car zoomies

[@StevenHousewright]

This is so oddly satisfying to watch...just a tremendous job brother

[@pinkandjewels]

This video makes me want to start detailing cars.

[@markp8581]

I worked in a lab and the 80 year old foriegn chief engineer asked me to get his lease car cleaned out. I checked it out and the cigarette ash in that car was so thick that I got in it and when I came out all my clothes were grey, there was thick ash on every square inch of the inside surface. It was only a 2 year old car, I just told him no one could clean that car out.

[@haileybug292]

That carpet is gnarly!

[@ecmcd]

I worked as a detailer for a car dealership in the mid-'80s for a summer, and the car I remember most is a truck trade-in that had a pipe smoker in it for years. I still remember that horrible smell - unfortunately ozone wasn't a thing back then; I took a stab at it for a day but it was not salvageable. We ended up sending the truck to auction.
