Complete Disaster Car Detailing A DISGUSTING Trashed Minivan! Insane Car CLEANING Transformation!

[@jenna5169]

is it weird if these cleaning videos are calming/relaxing to me??? i watch the entire thing too

[@BontrasSnide]

Not at all! I do the same exact thing, especially when I'm supposed to be focusing on schoolwork.

[@brianwilliams5188]

This man really tempting me to go out and clean my car on a Saturday morning. Nice try buddy

[@harshverma8831]

Lmao 😂😂

[@Mach1Chriss]

Lol just do it throw on some music and get down to business. The main motivator with detailing is having the right tools. For me when I was new I didn't like it cause I knew I could never achieve the clean level that these guys achieve without having the tools they did. But little by little you start collecting. Couple $100 orders on amazon and I love detailing 😂😅.

Wall hanging the carpet and mats when scrubbing and cleaning makes it much easier on the body. I also noticed when pressure washing on hanging method the dirty water and debris flows down and not puddle into another section of fabric.

[@haakoa8084]

He should put the carpets on a slope when pressure washing so the dirty water all flows down and off the carpet

[@karmich6735]

That's exactly what I was going to suggest. 👍

[@trishab6822]

Jesus, that carpet though. Every time I watch one of these videos I want to go clean my car. Then I remember that I am lazy and it's hot outside.

[@staceyp4403]

He probably tells them to leave it how it is, makes for a better video.

[@surfdude7575]

I know. Always amazes me how filthy human beings can be. : (

[@jillrogers7843]

Exactly what I always think! Even when I take my car to a drive through car wash I always put any personal items from the floors or seats into the trunk.

[@cuda528]

Soccer moms could not care less about their vehicles, which is good for detailers but also shows the type of person they can be.

I am in no place to judge cause I can be a mess but these cars worry me about what these peoples houses look like if their cars look like this.

Happy Saturday Stauffer Garage Crew! What music do you jam out to when you clean? For me... I'm a 90's punk rock guy! Hoobastank, Sum41, Blink 182, and Lit FTW! Subscribe if you are new and thumbs up for another slayed detail! Did you guess the right interior color of this one? I know I got it wrong at the start!

[@BrettS02]

I knew it was a grayish color

[@Jessie20032]

Not too insanely horrible I guess for a minivan but still junky enough to be gross. I would replace the carpet if possible but at least have some rules regarding the kids .... 🤔

[@letssaylalala]

At least there's no maggot here...

[@michaellovely6601]

Sweet relief. The maggot infested Honda Odyssey could inspire Cannibal Corpse to write a new song called "Minivan Full of Maggots."

[@monowires]

it’s so nice to see that you’re almost at 1 million. i don’t remember how many you had when i first subscribed, but i’ve been subbed for a while now and it’s so good to see your channel grow. sending you all the best

[@BontrasSnide]

I love the song Faster Car! I realized you were using it at about 6:30 and was so happy. I normally hear the Christopher Escalante version but I like this one too.

[@ronnieb5435]

Holy moly the carpet is actually grey! Seriously thought it was tan or brown. 😆 great job stauffer garage!

[@michaellovely6601]

Same here.

[@rachelcompton4625]

Not sure if you've tried this or not but if you have a surface cleaner for your pressure washer (they are great for when you are cleaning concrete..) it works amazing on carpets!!! I sometimes dont even bother using the drill brush first! I spray on the soak and attach the surface cleaner and it kinda does it all in one! saves a ton of time too! I had a huge area rug to clean and tried it, it worked wonderful so I started using it on my floor mats too (I dont have a business but with 8 kids, I'm constantly cleaning my own van!)

[@ChiralSpirals]

Its dosen't matter how much I clean my car, after I see one of your videos I'm always like: 🤔 it could be cleaner.

[@Hurrycane004]

I could NEVER hand in my car with all the stuff in. The least I would do is remove the stuff

[@eugeniocesar5938]

I am learning English with your videos, great content, satisfying.

[@ryanclements2869]

That carpet is a prime example of why car companies need to eliminate the use of carpet in vehicles and install rubber flooring. Way easier to clean and maintain. Great job cleaning that vehicle and all the others as well. Learning a lot from your videos. Thank you and God bless!

[@nathalygonzalez2107]

I remember a couple of 'old cars' with rubber flooring...we better go back with that, specially now for the health of all!

You stated that the carpet took several hours. It would be great to know how long each of your details actually took from start to finish.

Why lol it's not necessary. Just watch it and enjoy. It's supposed to be inspiring and entertaining

[@nathandesalvo5864]

I love minivan transformations. Good work

[@MrWhatsHisFace87]

My wife and I test drove a few Sienna and noted how the light grey was dirty in all of them. As a Stauffer viewer I should have been up to the challenge of cleaning them, but as a Dad I decided to go for leather seats so I only have to scrub the carpet and clean/condition the seats. We just bought our van this week, perfect timing with your video. Another great cleaning video! Looks amazing!

[@byte5126]

For anyone wondering how cars end up like this: I never thought i would let my car get dirty. But since i moved to a city and have to park about 600m (2000ft) away from were i live, i'm starting to understand. the only way to get big trash items out of my car, without illegally dumping them in someones dumpster, is to carry all of it to my flat. I have absolutely no way to vacuum the car, except for those vacuums at gas stations, which takes approx two hours out of my day (unless i want to illegally park across the house my flat is in and lay an extension cable from the third floor and across the street). Now just imagine a couple with fulltime jobs each and having a couple kids, and voila: My car would look the same, if not worse.

[@nessagonz3]

There's trashcans at gas stations (which is where I empty my trash, all while my gas is pumping.. Killing two birds with one stone that way no time is lost) or you could leave a plastic bag in the car as a trash can...there's also tons of car trashcans on amazon. As for vacuuming, take it to a carwash and let them do it or go on your spare time or day off. All full-time working parents have at least one day off to do that. There's no excuse for this, it's just being lazy and neglectful of your possessions.

[@devilinthedetailers7661]

Where the hell do you live where you're two hours away from a car wash/vacuum yet have to live in a flat

[@xantoniaxxx]

That’s why you get a mini shop vac

[@oyvey566]

Always an excuse right? If you want to maintain a clean vehicle, you will. It's that simple.

[@rookxc3117]

How about u dont bring trash/food into the car? Problem solved Edit: you can buy those car vacuums (12V socket ones)

[@jessesmith5630]

This is cool. I work for Toyota at the factory where we build the Sienna. I have worked on the assembly line and had an assembly repair position for 4 years and have been all over these vans. It's good to see them so "well loved." This has to be my favorite video so far next to the roach motel!

[@michaellovely6601]

Wow!

[@maggieg8200]

Am always amazed that you're able to put everything back where it goes! Another fabulous job!

[@NicksWeather]

Biggest tip for removing trim pieces is having a screwdriver handy. Tape it down if you want to prevent any scratches and mutilation. I work in a factory so ik all the tricks of the trade. Rosebuds and metal clips are abundant.

[@superawsomeblitz]

Gotta give you a big thanks for these vids, I do a lot of detailing work for family, friends, and occasional clientele and I feel like I’ve learned so much resultantly. One thing I can say I’d recommend with pressure washing the carpet, is that if you can find a way to hang it up against a wall, it saves you the effort of tediously re-washing the same spots because the dirty water moved over

[@freddapelter8332]

I swear McDonalds fries have been on the floor of every car you have cleaned.

[@natashawilsch4540]

Stay as great as you are. I have been disappointed by so many of youtube detailers lately, getting lazy. But you just keep getting better and better. Amazing work as always!! ❤ A true mentor.

[@GapedCeiling]

I just ordered a pair of those shoes that came from kickstarter that are 100% water proof. and yesterday i hit them with the power washer to see if they leak and they are perfect. they are knit style shoe like yeezys i guess but are 100% water proof. if you want a good pair of soft style shoes that wont get water logged i highly recommend checking out Vessi shoes. I was also sick of getting wet socks

[@1228carlito]

James, 2 things; 1: There are better tools for doing large carpet areas, including the carpet squeegee. Have you contacted a carpet cleaning business to see what kind of tools they use? i would recommend Advanced Cleaning Systems. They have a KZbin channel and are pretty friendly. 2: You have a look alike (At least i think you do) in drummer Vladislav Ulasevich from the band Jinjer. He could pass as your brother or cousin.

[@ryantaylor4794]

I hope you see this comment! Ive been thinking about all these stained carpets and you should try using a solution of persil laudry detergent and powdered oxi clean. its the combo i use to get brake dust grease and grime out of my wrenchin-on-stuff clothes

Another minivan disaster. Ever since watching your vids, if I spot a minivan in a parking lot I take a glance inside to see if it’s trashed. If I spot a couple of kid car seats, 4 out of 5 are in serious need of a detail! Would like to see a video where you do both interior and exterior of the same “disaster” car! 😉

After you said that the carpet took 2 hours even tho it was the faster option it made me respect you so much more the fact that you have that patience

[@Dharshanth.k]

Your videos are so satisfying to watch. You use the drill brush a lot which is so nice to see. Unlike certain KZbin here that is so lazy to clean using the drill brush. He only does one pass to clean everything. Lazy ass if you ask me. But yours is top notch man. Thank god I subscribe to you.

Hey quick question. How do you get hot water to use for your extractor. I just bought one and realized it doesn’t heat up the water by itself? Do you bring hot water from home and how do you keep it hot? Or do you use cold hose water? Am confused☹️

I love watching these videos, as it gives me inspiration that cars can actually be properly cleaned when a little effort is put into them. I've been buying tools and machines cheap through a local auction and I'm trying to keep our Odyssey as clean as I can, though it's spent the past month doing duty as a pickup truck while we've been moving from one house to another. But I'll definitely be doing a deep clean on it when all the fun and games with that are over. I have to wonder how far people come to have you clean out their car? I live on the other side of PA (Not far from NJ) and while I'd love to do a road trip I'd say it's probably far more prudent to go check out the dude here in town that just built a brand new detailing shop. On another note, and I'll understand if you remove this comment after reading this, but I hope you and your wife and family are doing well, and finding some happiness and healing again after all that's gone in in the past few months. I don't know all of what happened (and it's largely none of my business anyways) but I did see the one news story and from what I see, you and Myka absolutely did right by that kid. Sometimes some people just require more attention and care than some people are able to give. Keep on doing what you're doing, and I'll keep watching. Okay, maybe not the maggot video. We had a bad experience with those things recently ourselves and I do not want to see them in a car. Cheers.

[@hawkertyphoon4537]

The roof lining, seats and carpet are what makes up the biggest component of "interior" - it is what we are literally wrapped in - and they have a huge potential for holding dirt and dust. Good call on spending Time on these items. The rest can be wiped down... but the Textiles are such a big factor in a healthy environment!
