Cleaning a SALVAGED Audi Bought At Auction! | The Detail Geek

[@TheDetailGeek]

What a SPECTACULAR transformation! Wasn't at all impressed with the build quality but it sure looks incredible now! Have a great weekend everyone!

[@familyiseverything1617]

THIS LOOKS LIKE ITS GOING TO BE A REALLY REALLY GREAT ONE SO EXCITED CAN'T WAIT, WOOT WOOT WHOOP WHOOP!!!!!

[@shannonp1656]

Another live chat! Gotta be the extreme cold keeping you in until at least sunrise. How else do you have the time? Whatever the reason it'll be fun. Stay safe.

[@That_one_r3dneck]

This car is going to to look 100 times better when its done!!

[@Jade-yq1et]

I’m so pumped for this. Can’t wait

[@bluelyncgaming8333]

This is gonna be legit

[@deanlazzari9117]

20 years ago, if you told me that “when you hit 60, you’re going to watch 30 minute videos of a guy detailing really dirty and disgusting cars” I would have thought you were crazy. But here I am. Thanks

[@omaralkayal7598]

Wow ! Stay safe my good sir may you live a long and a happy life

[@darinbennett3638]

Using the pressure washer has to be one of the most fulfilling parts of cleaning these cars. When I use mine at home whether on a vehicle, deck, house, etc. it's awesome to see instant improvement and it makes me want to keep power washing anything in my sight!

[@Elishadreams]

It impresses me that you gave as much love and attention to a two toned salvaged vehicle as you would any other vehicle. The Audi looks great 👍

[@michellemarshall6352]

@Shaya Riesa what else would you expect?

[@dr.jackill2861]

This dude is loaded with all of his subscribers and views...good for you man!

[@celestehelton5452]

Just curious: what’s the most amount of loose change you’ve ever picked up from one of the vehicles?

[@matta3888]

I have found a 1/4 solo cup of change one time. We were cleaning out some houses. I do not have a dollar amount.

[@alexbakaloff]

During my time at a used cars sales lot, I found over $180 in coins in a Mazda 3. Sneaked it past my boss too 💀

[@codyhall6644]

Im a little surprised noone said anything about the .556 casing

[@catdogorboth7087]

@@codyhall6644 is it a big deal?

[@Carpathianpixie]

@@catdogorboth7087 Yes. In Canada people are not aloud to just drive around with guns and bullets around. I don't know about everywhere in the country but in my province, it's very hard to get a permit and you have to notify the police when you're taking your gun out and tell them exactly where you're going. If you take longer than the estimated duration from point A to point B, they will come find you.

[@jb6712]

WOW! I'd have no compunction about driving a two-tone car if it came out looking that great after getting it detailed! Great work; makes me think my very old, but well-kept car would be pretty much a "cinch" to clean because, while I'm physically unable to do the deep cleaning of it, I do vac my car regularly all through the spring, summer and fall. As well, I have zero pets, don't smoke, don't eat or drink in my car, and the extremely rare times I have a passenger(s), they're not permitted to do anything in it, either.

[@Navshri-ty9to]

As someone who lives in place where snow can only be found inside refrigerator, I find it quite scary how this 'other worldly' thing can cause such a mess. Great job with this one as well 👍

[@cheylachasten2539]

Felt this ☀️🍊

[@elizabethwood622]

me too!! i live in new south wales and i’ve never seen snow, i can’t comprehend it being a mundane everyday nuisance. to me it seems so fun and special!!!

[@joshuaszeto]

@@elizabethwood622 imagine waking up and then realizing you need to move a metric ton of frozen water out of the way so your car can even leave the driveway. that's assuming the snow plough hasn't pushed all the snow into your driveway. And that snow would be more packed and have chunks of ice so now it's closer to 2 metric tons. Then you hope that the roads aren't super bad. If the roads are bad, best case scenario, everyone is driving slower and being cautious, bad case is if someone either got in an accident and traffic is backed up a lot. worst case, you are the one who loses control and has an accident. And all this before you even start your day at work.

[@seany2754]

@@elizabethwood622 that's crazy. I live right outside of Philly (Philadelphia), and the largest storm that I've been able to experience was 2016 where we got 20 inches. My recommendation is take a trip to the great lakes before a lake effect snowstorm. Buffalo, NY got 6-8 FEET of snow in 2014.

[@elizabethwood622]

@@seany2754 thanks for the tip! i’m hopefully going traveling next year so if covid fucks off for a while i might be able to see real snow :)

[@andrewbiswell3564]

I can vouch for the Bissel steamcleaner. I have had one for many years, and i just had to replace the wand and suction hose. Super easy and the parts are still easily found online for a super low price. Great video as always!

[@royparker9509]

I actually like the two-tone color combination. Of course, it would have to be symmetrical all the way around the car. Great job, as always!

[@staceyloke9872]

me too!

[@USAnglophile]

Agreed! I don't hate the two-tone!

[@piiinkDeluxe]

I love this too. Suits the car perfectly for some reason

[@ThorRuneHansen]

Not the rouge door, but front and back bumper agreed!

[@BetaDogs1]

Same here. I thought it was a design feature until we saw the Driver's side.

[@danieldavenport7162]

You know you're detail oriented when your cleaning the bolts, too. Nice work!!

[@dlenderman11]

Awesome transformation! Watching the interior being cleaned was really satisfying!

[@connorelmore04]

Amazing job Mitch! I started a small detailing business about a year ago and you were the person that helped and motivated me to start it!

[@QuickCookClips]

Any tips for getting customers? Also does it get easier after a few weeks trying to get business?

[@crystalfranklin2583]

Wow! Yet another fantastic detail! You just never cease to amaze me!

[@joelbuchanan471]

Thanks Mitch for a great morning treat. This was pretty amazing. The Audi turned out great! Thanks for joining us and chatting. That is always a wonderful bonus. Have a fun weekend. See ya soon. #IStillLikeMike

[@TheDetailGeek]

Thanks Joel! Have a great weekend!

[@kwakas4ever]

Another excellent job - and I for one very much appreciate your comments on material/build quality you see. Honest/accurate professional opinion is a very rare commodity these days.....keep up the great work.

[@stickyD28]

On the topic of leather seats; What method would you recommend for cleaning perforated leather seats(tiny holes throughout for ventilation)? The perforations tend to get a little build up in them & I'm curious as to what you think the best way to get them clean is? Thanks, hope you'll reply!

[@danielrich3188]

I would also love to know. I have a lincoln navigator with ventilated seats and always find them packed with little bits of gunk

[@oscar7476]

maybe u could try a interior large detail brush, combined with carpro inside, then wipe with microfibre towel. If some chemical is still in the tiny holes, use a smaller detail brush or toothpick and gently brush it out. if ur seats have massage function, turn them on with ventilation so it can loosen the stuff in the holes:)

[@Yaboybash]

Compressed air with a air gun is your best friend

[@340xi]

Tornador or air gun with compressed air is my go to

[@Bladedcloud6159]

I think he might have an older video dedicated for how to clean leather seats

[@tonyg8471]

Well done. I was surprised to learn Audi was not using premium grade carpet. I realize this is an older model, but these are not cheap vehicles. I like keeping my vehicles clean, but you're at a different level, and it's been a pleasure watching and learning how you do your thing.

[@joelbuchanan471]

This is a cool teaser for Friday. I am so excited that you are doing a premiere with this one. Can't wait to get your perspective on this roughed up car which looks amazing in the final shots. WOW!! Thanks Mitch!

[@thatotherguy186]

I need to find someone like you locally. Sick of getting half assed detail jobs. You work is incredible!

[@michaelwilliams4851]

I love watching your videos for many different reasons, first and foremost it's becoming more and more rare when people actually take pride in what they do. Anyone should be able to tell that you take great pride and care in what you do..

[@aprilbradford6572]

You can even make a salvaged ride look brand new! Awesome job as always!

*Nice work* 🔥🔥🔥

[@lizbarrow1696]

I was stunned that it came back with a mirror shin. Beautiful. Even the car is relieved.

[@feliciafisher3748]

The grimy cup holder insert may be my favorite part of all details thus far. The interior went from tragic to beautiful.

[@dazdogs]

Well after watching a few of your videos so far, I think we can all say you keep us entertained and you get a huge workout from this business and we love seeing you take absolute pieces of unloved messes into beautiful lovelies, I wish i had you in Australia, cos id travel a bloody long way to see you regularly treat my car with that much respect, you show the car owners and their cars so much love and decency and for that and the entertainment I thank you!

I need you to know that I felt deep down in my soul, as a fellow Canadian, the pause you had when you found that bullet.

These cleaning videos are so satifying. I really appeciate all the hard work that goes into making these vehicles shine!

[@jasonkelley6185]

Wow! That interior change is a miracle!

[@frankbiz]

Wow what an amazing job detailing that filthy car. The dirt that came out of that cupholder was unbelievable 😳, I think my wheels are cleaner in the middle of winter. I can't believe people are not ashamed, at least pick up the loose trash! Thanks for another great video. 👍🏻

[@calebcutler7439]

Do you have or know of a hoae extension for the bissell ? I just ordered the spot clean pro and it has a really short hose. Not that big of a deal since I can move the unit easily. Just curious .

[@brendough1]

I thought that was a bullet! I wonder what the heck this car went through! You do quite an amazing job!! I’m so glad I found you!

[@Kimichitsuzuku]

I suspect that pre-accident it was a hand-me-down to a college-aged young adult with at least one Husky. Someone who didn't care as much as the initial owner who dropped $50k USD on a car like this in '09.

[@mscman13]

It definitely looked like a live round, not a casing…

[@AngelMendoza-um8pm]

Also playing hotel California on the guitar at the end is a nice touch

I'm fairly new to your channel. I enjoy watching you detailing vehicles. You do excellent work and you are a very skilled man and worker. You are a whole vibe. 😌

[@kristiejenner2642]

There's something strangely satisfying watching these videos. I've become hooked on watching them.

[@jonathankleinow2073]

Interesting that Audi puts ports for the seat wiring harnesses in the floor, rather than having the wiring plug into the seat. Seems to be a bit easier to connect and disconnect, although then you have to be careful not to spray water in there, or use contact cleaner if you do. I wonder if the owner plans to have the whole car repainted?

[@bencastagno5676]

11 hours of work.. that’s insane. I wonder what something like this costs? Awesome job

[@That_one_r3dneck]

I love watching these videos learning what you can clean and their just really fun to watch!

Man... you put your blood, sweat and tears into detailing that Audi Q5. ...2👍's up.

[@victoriahayden2961]

Wow - amazing job. It amazes me how people buy such an expensive car and then don’t look after it!!! The previous owner should be absolutely ashamed. It will look great now if the new owner sprays the new panels the correct colour.

I agree. But they probably are not ashamed.

Great work! It came out fantastic as always. Just wanted to know if you have done or can you make a video on how you clean the micro fiber towels. Also, do you extract the carpet mats after you blast them with the power washer?

Seems like a good candidate for a wrap, in my opinion.

[@mariolaporte3429]

I didn't know I needed this in my life until I found this channel. Love this.

[@frederikfaillie2393]

I have seen several episodes now. And impressed by your work! But I sometimes wonder... I often can't see that you turn the seatings of the back seats upwards, because i can imagine there is a pile of dirt stacked there too. And if i might suggest: in a lot of cars there seem to be coins everywhere... Wouldn't it be a nice to gather all the coins from every car (while you are removing the larger items that can't be vacuumed), and keep them apart? And maybe you can do something nice with it eg give it away to a good cause in the neighbourhood or something? I guess that would already be a fair amount if you count the collections from one year, or wouldn't it? Grts from Belgium

[@daguettimat]

This was the best interior cleaning of this channel's history

[@cherylreel7207]
