[@TheBeautifultaurus]

😆 ikr

[@Marjoni.]

Lmao. I’m like ehhh

[@loaningg]

In my experience, sometimes it’s easier to let your car get that way when it doesn’t hold a lot of value to you. My first car, I babied until a lot of mechanical problems got out of hand and I knew that I wouldn’t be keeping the car for much longer. Also I have a husky that I’d drive around a lot.. I have a new vehicle now that I plan on taking care of really well. But some of these cars are really new, it’s pretty disgusting. It’s as easy as keeping a bag in your car for trash and tossing it every time you buy gas. Some people don’t care.

[@kayleighm7856]

Having 4 kids in sports with beige interior. That's how lol

[@rhi2021]

Jackie Johnson honestly, that makes sense to me because I never let my Kia Soul get dirty but after I lost it and got my new car, I don’t care. I hate my new car, but didn’t have a choice with it, and it gets pretty gross before I clean it out

[@saraisabella9767]

I’m such a clean freak. When I have nothing else to clean at my house, I’ll watch videos like this. So satisfying.

[@DetailGroove]

Haha I know right!

[@claywoman9132]

Thank you. I have the same color fabric interior and I put something on it and made the mess even worse. Its hard to find someone to detail my car, so I have to try and do it myself, which I don't mind doing, but needed more detailed instructions like the ones you provided

[@DetailGroove]

Hmm- when you cleaned the area, did it just spread the stain around?

[@claywoman9132]

Detail Groove yessss!

[@DetailGroove]

That's normal with cloth seats- it happened during this detail. Spray your solution, agitate, mop up and repeat as necessary

[@claywoman9132]

Detail Groove -- I will. Thanks for taking the time to respond

[@ohs-myjourney2147]

I thought a lot of that stuff was irreversible! Wow. Good to know most of it isn't permanent damage.

[@DetailGroove]

you'll be surprised Emily :)

[@tonybourke4946]

Thanks for your responses bro

[@Chrissy-iy2hl]

The car came out great!! Is it really safe to be shooting water from the steamer into all the controls in the console?? I'm sure you're drying it quickly but there has to be water getting inside with all of the wiring. Just a thought.

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks! And it's verrryyyyyyyyyyy little water. Mostly steam.

[@DirtyMcArthur]

Check out the Mytee Lite 8070 extractor. I have one and I love it. It's pricey but it will save you a LOT of time. Great video.

[@DetailGroove]

It's a great machine- I've used it several times. However, too clunky for my small mobile rig. In an ideal world, it's be great to have both!

[@Misstigrine]

Probably a stupid question, but doesn't the water from the steamer damage the electronics of the car? (Thanks for the video, now I have the motivation to go clean out my car 👌😂)

[@DetailGroove]

Haha- I am putting down very little steam. I've never had a problem with it. You have to apply commonsense

[@adamsanchez1457]

Awesome video thanks again for your hard work keep it up. A couple questions for you though the griots polisher what speed do you use for carpet and floormats? Also what speed for the rest of the vehicle's interior like cloth upholstery etc, I wouldn't want to ruin the fabric?

[@DetailGroove]

On either speed 5 or 6. The brush set is super soft.. it's not going to damage good condition material.

This was therapeutic to watch. I always wondered how you guys did this. Never thought it took this long and how much effort goes into it so now it helped me understand why it cost what it does. Now I can get my car detailed and not complain about the price anymore. Great video ☺️

[@DetailGroove]

Haha that's great to hear! Quality is always worth it :)

[@overtherainbow7972]

To a point, alot of detailers like to overcharge where im from, the job that was done was pretty good but i disagree with the time it took, compared to most of the jobs I've done as detailer

[@antonioparamo2048]

And theres always people complaining about the price! Why is so expensive! I know someone that could do it for 40.00 dollars..... like really....

[@antonioparamo2048]

@@DetailGroove what kind of steamer are you using

[@pc1967]

Many new prospects think like this young lady...Once I learned my job is not to compete with the car washes & selling myself as an auto detailing business, my check average went from $40 check avg to $100+ check avg. This took awhile but now I have more repeat clients & get great referrals too.

[@Suebee1988]

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the fact that you take your business seriously, are concerned with doing things the right way and in helping others do the same. Too many people these days undervalue those who choose cleaning/maintenance/manual labor. It's honest work, you get the immediate gratification of seeing a job well done and, looking at the state of this car before you started on it, obviously a valuable service. Good on you. If I were your mom, I would be very proud to have a son who focuses on doing his best, whatever the task. Cheers.

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks for the kind words Susan :)

[@andyfumo8931]

This is one of the only positive comments I can agree with. I know the owner is being kind and considerate of his clients I can't entirely be that way with them, perhaps I'd charge for a prep package to stay on top of the mess, but honestly without him and others like him this disgusting immoral society called capitalism would fall apart under it's own weight.

[@looleanyeap133]

In this video I saw the sweetest detailer and sweetest comment.

He is so sweet. Non judgemental.

And this is coming from somone who is extremely OCD about cleanliness but I understand some people are different & experience set backs. But i was wondering what that purple spray was in the clear spray bottle it looks just like a cleaner that i make from lavender fabuloso. Lol

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks!

[@SFWillis52]

Idk man....it did come out great dont get me wrong, but hearing you say "I'm not going for perfection, im only going for way better..." that's not something I would wanna hear from someone in hiring as a detailer....i respect the end result but not the business mindset

[@SFWillis52]

And as a barber, I would NEVER tell a client "I'm not going for perfection, just cleaner that what it is now"...I'm sure the client would immediately be uneasy in wanting me to cut their hair.

[@largofella]

SFWillis52 I think the job was a standard cleaning/stain removal. I think the quality/features of the detail depends on the the service you pay for. Like paying to get your your car washed vs asking for a wash, scratch removal, and a wax polish/finish.

[@nickiratliff84]

@@SFWillis52 he also says pretty much it's not necessary to put more effort in once you pass the minimum threshold they'll accept... what happened to customer service sadly. It's about saving their time, not much more. No hate to him meant at all.. minimum standard seems to be widespread and accepted. I thought professionals were there and paid to do what we cant.

[@helloiamem]

So glad to see you're not a judgmental prick, defending this woman to people calling her names. Good job! People just don't get that when you have limited money, kids, so much to do cleaning the car falls pretty far down the priority list! Some people don't have all the time in the world to keep their car pristine! My car is in pretty bad shape at the moment because I accidentally left my windows down during a storm, you can imagine the carpets got pretty disgusting. I've got it back to about 75% but still have more to go, but with kids and a life it can't all be done at once! So I'm very glad you're not here calling this poor woman a slob or whatever. Very professional, good business!

[@DetailGroove]

Haha thanks so much! I know, everyone can't do everything all at once. And what storm did you go through? Irma? Harvey?

[@helloiamem]

Detail Groove thanks for the reply, I am in Australia and it was cyclone Debbie I think, although in Queensland, Australia its storm season at the moment (spring and summer) so we have a good storm every other week. Super boiling hot and sunny one moment and literally 30 minutes later pouring down rain and wind and trees being knocked down aha Australian weather is all over the place! But yes thank you for the reply and I say again thank you for being such a genuine un- judgmental person!

[@DetailGroove]

I totally missed your comment Emmie- sorry about that! I'm in Houston and we went through on the of the worse floodings in US history- which was caused from hurricane Harvey

[@Medienmechaniker]

There is a difference between a pristine car and to vacuum and clean the car on the regular which should not take longer then 10 - 15 minutes maximum for a week or even a month, depends. This car is just filthy and the owner just seemed to be lazy to clean it. Completely different story if she bought the car in this condition.

[@89five3five]

Emmie Ana Ray food for thought..... you are correct that it is just a car. But remember a car is a small enclosed space you spend hours in. So dirt, dust, pollen, bacteria formed on spilled food/drink and mold will eventually be inhaled by you and the car’s occupants. So it’s a good idea to clean your car’s interior often

[@amycallaghan6224]

🐶🐱👼🏼🤵🏻👰🏽👧🏽👦🏻👶🏾 Looking at this car I just see a lot of happy kids laughing and having food fights! Parents in the front laughing and getting their kids to sing along to all their old school music! And maybe a dog in the back drooling on the kids and them in hysterical laughter because one got the dog gob on his/her arm 😂😂😂

because his presentation skills are…unpolished. Repeating himself many times on how how hot the sun is, how long it is going to take, how dirty (but not really) the car is. First tip (it was a good one) was to ask about an electrical outlet, at around 6 minutes. first technique demonstrated at ~8:30. Those of us who watch these videos to learn things get impatient. There is no doubt he is passionate and devoted and knows his craft. in contrast, when you watch a Pan the Organizer, AmmoNYC, or Chicago Auto Pros vid, you. get overwhelmed with info by the 6 minute mark.

Ive seen some pretty filthy interiors but that is nasty!

[@DetailGroove]

Honestly, it was bad.. but it wasn't that bad. It comes down to the systems and processes you have in place to handle the conditions!

[@LIONHEARTE944]

I feel you on cars like these man, I hit them all the time. I find myself using a 1500 dollar 120hp mytee extractor a lot, I see a lot of cars like this in my works, and it's a son of a bitch in such a small town with a depressed economy to charge the right amount when the car wash guys 20 miles up the road will do a shitty job for even less. First off, Floormats are rubber, I'm usually rolling with super degreaser and a brush + a hose. Always works, carpeting if they are nasty and destroyed I pull out a pressure washer and handle it if not, extractor and shampoo. After that, My process starts out with a good vacuum and then I'm automatically hitting the cup holders (You can spend all day with apc a microfiber and a brush going into cup holders, I find pretreating them with hot extractor water before makes the wipe down process a lot more simple) all the things that arent at risk with electronics with hot extractor water then vacuuming them out, after that I'm going wild with saturating the shit out of the dirty carpeting and I use a chemical guys drill brush, I start with carpeting first and seats because that drill brush will be sending dirty water all over the fucking panels, so I usually have to come back and vacuum up all the extras after the detail is done, final steps after cleaning all the seats and carpeting is running through and wiping down all the vinyl. I pull the car out, wash it, wax it and clean up the tires, then I hit the glass. Customer is informed it'll be wet. I'm sorry but steaming and apc on carpets is great if they aren't worn out and nasty, but you need an extractor for jobs like this or else you'll be scrubbing for days. Usual detail about 4-5 hrs of labor at anywhere between 20-30.00 dollars an hour, I'm not always busy due to population up here in the far north but I have my busy season for sure and it's fantastic money for only 20-30 hrs of work a week, plenty of time for whatever lifestyle I prefer. Final inspection and I'm done. It's about the same amount of time for me Detail Groove, up here in Northern Michigan.

[@draggy76]

That wasn't bad. Not in the least. That amount of """"filth"""" from years? That's a Danm clean car if the customer has kids. I've seen far far worse. Those with over the top clean cars more have no social life or love life / kids...

[@rxmani-3535]

[@zackareyrichwine]

I bought a car once that me and 2 of my friends had to physically scrape black gooy fuzzy ick off of carpets and seats took a few hours of ick clean out plus another entire weekend to finish but we made it look new. And we never had a steamer we were too young and broke lol This car in this car in the video looks like a peice of cake 💪🤫🤷‍♂️

People who keep saying "How can anyone let their car get so bad?" We'll, clearly you don't have children, or pets. In our case, we bought our minivan second hand. It was vacuumed out neatly before we got it, but not detailed, there were stains, etc. We were just grateful to get a well working car for a decent price! This guy really inspires me to get our car detailed! It would be wonderful to see it really clean! Maybe when the kids are a little older...

And that McCullough Steamer seems to be worth it's weight in GOLD when it comes to interior detailing. For $199, that has to be one of the best deals on a steamer of that quality there is right now. Steam seems to be one of the most effective cleaner's both by itself and coupled with a all purpose cleaner there is. Thanks for sharing all your experience with the masses out here in the world.

[@latisaallen4257]

Psssst.... Here's a hint... WD40 takes gum out of fabric... Any fabric SAFELY !!!! It will NOT leave an oil stain AFTER you clean it. I sat at a booth one time where someone had stuck gum under the edge of the table. It must have been fresh cuz my rayon shirt grabbed right on to it and held strong for the distance of 5 booths !!! Yes, I had gum strung from that booth I sat in to my shirt and all 5 booths I walked past. It was the guest in the 5th booth whom had brought it to my attention that I was stringing something along with me. Well that explained the spider web feeling I was having on my arm. Sure enough... I had a HUGE glob of chewed up gum stuck to my favorite brown and white rayon blouse. I went to my moms and showed her. She immediately asked for my blouse. I took it off and gave it to her. She sprayed WD40 on the gum... Rubbed it gently with a terry cloth shop towel and the gum literally just crumbled right off. I washed the lil spot with soap and when it dried.... Voila !!! Couldn't even tell. Ive since used that on carpet, furniture, jeans and hair. Amazing results and super easy. Might help speed things up next time you find gum. You're welcome 😊

Always vacuum. Not sure where he was trained. If you dont vacuum you are pushing dirt deeper in the carpet creating more problems. Always vacuum. Doesnt matter if you dont see much dirt. Then again you should vacuum your car out once a month at least. It helps alot.

The beauty of a car like this is A) It HAS TO look a lot better after working on it...no way it can look worse B) It makes for a great before and after video LOL

[@johnrosado9245]

These type of videos are the best help for viewers and us fellow detailers. Thank you for doing this. We know it adds time= less time for your money.

[@DetailGroove]

You're welcome! Glad it's bringing value to you. Anything else you want to see specifically?

[@dakota2410]

i love cleaning exteriors and interiors of cars plus it’s so satisfying

[@DetailGroove]

haha- sure is!

[@YouSeenThat]

R.I.P to my ear drums 11:40 🤦‍♂️😂😂

Lmao, my bad

[@reverbmusictv5875]

[@DetailGroove]

Haha yup!

[@lelavakele8613]

You take pride in what you do. 👏❤

[@Vanlifecrisis]

I still have issues with browning on light upholstery. Itll look great wet, but after it dries, they turn brown. I tried using an acidic rinse to get ph neutral, and tried using minimal water, scrubbing with towels, fans etc. Nothing seems to work completely.

[@paperchasin4053]

You really like that steamer huh

[@DetailGroove]

It's an awesome steamer!

[@Boodieman72]

Save yourself some time and get yourself a Tornador Black. Does a better job and in less time (and you stay cooler than when using a steamer).

[@ProfeCreepyAdventures]

Boodieman72 yup!!

[@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335]

@@ProfeCreepyAdventures why do people say yup it sounds stupid and uneducated

[@Pty-gk2vb]

he doesn't have the air compressor he mention on the field like 100 times during the duration of the video. also for a mobile detailer isn't the most time saving and money making tool in a shop i can see it value on the road not really.

[@mr.exquisitecheese7764]

I love how he talks about him picking up trash so it’s easier for his vacuum while he flails the trash around XD I don’t know why I thought it was funny but I laughed

[@DetailGroove]

haha- well glad you found that funny

[@kyleboman6]

You need to invest in a high end steamer and you wouldn't have to use apc as much. I bought a vapor rhino and it's the best investment I made. It literally gets 99 percent of the stains out with little work or time

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks for the feedback

[@drchristinak4700]

Where in Texas are y’all located I really need my car detailed

[@DetailGroove]

We're in Houston TX!

[@ShotByDre]

Doesn’t make since not to vacuum beforehand, would’ve saved like a hour. Great video though

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks for watching!

[@sarahkey413]

Wow. That was crazy. He did such a good job. I wish he lived close to me!

[@DetailGroove]

thanks so much Sarah!

[@v8foraheart884]

You don’t vacuum the dash first to get the real loose stuff? So that why the steamer doesn’t push all that loose lint/dirt all over the place, everyone’s different..I vacuum everything first with a sturdy brush attachment with a well powered vacuum and do the dash, to be honest on most dashes, just the brush and vacuum and a little bit of dawn/water/car wash with wax mixture is enough and it doesn’t take too much time

[@DetailGroove]

Yeah, everyone has a different process. I'll sometimes just wipe it down before I start cleaning or brush off the dust with my brushes.

[@JACXREBELL]

Dang you know what you’re doing I hope you get everything and anything you want in life and accomplish your dreams and goals you seem like a very enthusiastic and happy man good luck

[@DetailGroove]

thanks for the kind words Jack!

[@highest-of-the-tower]

Great trick I picked up over the years was to spray the area with my cleaner, work it in with a brush, then use an air gun to blow out the moisture and staining

[@DetailGroove]

Good tips!

[@wendyp8488]

Thanks for sharing your cleaning tips. The results are amazing!

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks for watching Wendy!

[@KiRiMa64]

If possible can you post reactions of your customers?

[@DetailGroove]

Haha probably not. A bit intrusive and uncomfortable for the customer.. having a big ol camera pointed at them

Canon 70D with a Rode shotgun mic

Detail Groove just blur the face out.

[@reviewthecheapest]

I have to buy some rubber covers for my car floor.

[@DetailGroove]

Yup!

[@krollpeter]

Don't know what you charge for this but I'd be perfectly happy with the job you did.

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks Peter. The customer was amazed with the results (and tipped)

[@issacmorales7503]

My dude you're a God! I would pay you a grip to clean my 2 cars like that. I wish I knew what you knew on how to detail like you do

Aha- thanks Issac

[@zackw.varela326]

The Killer Cub how will people who know nothing about cleaning interiors know what’s going on then

[@lolapear4866]

Damn! I thought my interior was dirty😒

[@DetailGroove]

haha- it's pretty common

[@victorhernandez790]

I'm completely opposite of you. I hate interiors and love doing exterior. I live in Florida in the heat as well, but I feel like I get hotter inside the car and outside when I'm washing the car at least the hose sprinkles water on me to cool me down. Lol But with all that said, I have a feeling more people would ask for interior services because they can just take the outside to get a simple car wash.

[@DetailGroove]

Haha yup- everyone has their own preferences. Eventually I'll start marketing for more higher end paint correction services. For now, I'm focusing on interiors

[@EriBarr]

And I like detailing engines lol.. we should all get together and fully detail a car

[@Mel-me9sw]

GOODNESS, I love your voice. Your details are great too!

[@TheKensington777]

You look like my brother Pedro 😂. I haven’t seen him in years but I bet he’d look like you. He lived in California but idk if he’s in jail.

Pro tip: always buy your cars with leather seats

[@DetailGroove]

Haha- it does help

[@thowmaz]

You look like you really know what you're doing, great vid ^^! Just a bit weird that you tell us what you "dont" like to do and that you "dont" strive for perfection, not something a client likes to hear :p...

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks! I am 100% upfront with the customer to manage their expectations. 3 years of mess I'm cleaning up, if they think I'm going to clean every single last stain to perfection, I'm not the detailer for them. If they want me to make their car look 10x better than the current condition, I can make that happen

[@thowmaz]

Detail Groove thanks for responding ^^! Great 2 hear that you have a clear vision of what you're doing. I'm going to subscribe, keep em up ;)!

[@SirBabi]

It's good to hear that you have customers who understands that. I have been doing this for 5 years and from where I come from if you tell them that, you will lose 90% of your customers. Because they want to hear you are doing a "perfect" job because the guy down the street can promise a "perfect" job. It's good if there are limited amount of "detailers" around. But if there is a bunch of "detailers" who claims they can clean it perfectly, you have a big problem. It's a matter of mentality. So I would word my job very carefully. Can it be cleaned? Yes, the stain can be removed or the stain will be less obvious making your car look like as if you just got your car. It works here. Hahahaha

[@Wayloncashwillie]

You don't have instagram?

[@DetailGroove]

A personal IG? For my detailing biz? For Detail Groove? Which one?

I'm so limited on time and energy lol gotta pick and choose my battles

[@cakeisalie]

invest in a head mounted GoPro, the quality is decent and saves you time

[@DetailGroove]

haha- good tips

[@cieramist1]

Just a heads up....for cleaning your carpets/floor mats and seats, you can use VIVID or CLOROX 2, which is a "color safe bleach". Dilute the product in about 6 cups or so of HOT WATER, and dip your scrub brush in it, and just sprinkle it all over the HEAVY STAINS. Wait just about 1 minute, then scrub out. ALL of the stains will come out....I don't care what it is...or long it's been there. Also...on ink stains or something like that, you can spray HAIRSPRAY...cheap brand is fine...spray the stain first, let that sit just for a moment, then scrub with the Vivid or clorox 2 solution...and it will ALL come out. DO NOT USE PLAIN BLEACH!!! Just the " COLOR SAFE " bleach of either clorox2 or vivid laundry detergent. :) { works like a charm }

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks :)

[@dob3079]

How do people let their car get that bad, my god have some pride in what you own

[@DetailGroove]

Ehhh- life gets in the way. I've had the same in other areas of my life (aka taking care of my dog)

[@scarlet801]

Think about what you just said. I’m honestly frightened by your judgement on such a small thing in the overall picture of life. I for one, would rather say on my death bed, “ dang, we sure had fun.” Not, “I’m so glad I kept the care so spotlessly clean”

[@milinichsautodetail3124]

On jobs this bad I use a round up pump sprayer for my APC it saves energy. Give it a try. 👍🏻

[@DetailGroove]

I've been meaning to get one! It will def save some time

[@milinichsautodetail3124]

Yea man especially on floor mats it puts a nice even mist on them

[@DetailGroove]

Are there any specifics you recommend or any pump sprayer?

[@milinichsautodetail3124]

Any should do i got a cheap ACE brand one

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks!

[@johncapidecallu8076]

Some people are really nasty...

I think it's more so of situational rather than behavioral

[@johncapidecallu8076]

I hope for them because i have never seen a car so dirty. A few times i didn't wash my car for 1 or 2 months and it got nowhere near as dirty as that. That thing probably was never cleaned since it was brand new. BTW you did an amazing job!

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks a lot for the kind words!

dont defend this lady. She doesn't even take the time to remove dumbells from the back seat? Come on u hired a guy to clean ur car....u dont have to remove every last piece of garbage, but the weights? U just lazy

I don't know her life. My job is not to judge or defend. I'm hired to make ugly look better.

It's better to use steam for cleaning interior or the vacuum that injects water then vaccum it?

[@poyo3582]

Prlego if u want really good results for carpets and seats hot water extractor is the way to go if you want decent results and versatility then the steamer is for u

[@billmalec]

How the &$*! do you get a car that dirty? Yes I had kids. Yes I had troubles. Part of having kids is showing them what not to do. That's part of their education also.

[@DetailGroove]

not sure how it got there. I just cleaned it :)

[@ugly1432]

Jesus the comments are judgemental. Some people don't have the money or time to clean their car all the time. Or they are disabled or something else is stopping them.

[@DetailGroove]

Exactly

[@LxstinNeverland]

Exactly!

[@ruinglum]

Can afford a car but not a carwash?

[@kevinrice2720]

I know this was ten months ago, but I agree. I'm a detailer and just did a car and she had what I call the triple death threat. Kids.... Pets..... Night Shift

Mmm false this didn't take 6 hours, the videos only 20 minutes. I call bluff.

[@DetailGroove]

EXPOSED!

that's the tea sis @@DetailGroove

[@jimmygillespie6983]

Why don't you use an extractor?

[@DetailGroove]

I'm getting the results I need with a steamer, one less item to haul around, limited space in my van

extractor would get this job done in half the time.
