Complete Disaster Car Detailing Transformation! NASTY MOLDY Barn Find 500hp Subaru WRX
This is one of those special details that is extremely satisfying but also is the generation of cars I grew up idolizing and modifying. The WRX was iconic when it hit the US shores in 2002 and the tuner crowd at the time was insane. Today, you are watching a 500hp Subaru WRX come back to life after sitting for years in slumber just waiting to be woken and ripped on like it was intended. Tons of extraction, pressure washing and satisfying content for your enjoyment... the question is should I buy it?

Hi How did you clean the headliners ..

[@adriannecadwell527]

Missed you yesterday. Had me worried for a min.

[@knottssonasty3603]

Been subbed for a min now sir 😎. Your channel is awesome!

[@21RIP]

Once you get that thing clean the person ain’t selling it.

[@arcadioalvarez4764]

How much was he selling the car for 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@cbaumy3415]

Id be down to see a car build series man! Keep up the great work!

[@GOREMATIC]

Agreed! That would be awesome!

[@flippintonic]

I'd like to see more of engine bay, wheel and wheel well cleaning and products. a rebuild series would be nice, but not like a major over haul. I enjoy ur work. keep it up.

[@SlowDelSol]

I’d love to see an engine bay detail on this one. Reclear the carbon fiber, restore headlights and taillights, get some wheels and tires and do a paint correction on it.

[@Wendi_The_Goon]

The timing of this video is crazy! I've been wanting one of these for a while and finally found one in good enough condition. I literally just got done detailing the interior after gutting out everything. They are super fun to drive.

[@whatwilliwatch3405]

Yikes! The "before" would have been nasty enough already, but pretty much every surface was porous (the pinholes in the steering wheel, the netting on the seats, etc.), which I'm sure made things even more difficult and time-consuming. Excellent work, as always!

[@shawnstandiford7207]

If you need ppe to clean a car thats not good

[@steviehinkley7698]

my bfs got an 05 wrx in aspen white! he fully sti swapped it and is making about 370hp on e85. super stoked when i saw this video of one getting detailed!!! definately sending him this video🥰

[@joe.olivet]

Well done, my man. Came out great. 👊🏻😎 Boggles my mind - it appears a lot of money was put into modifying this vehicle and then left to sit in the elements.

[@StaufferGarage]

I agree, It drives really well too even after sitting so long. I was really surprised

[@TMR147]

BACK WITH ANOTHER BANGER!! I SWEAR WATCHING THESE VIDS HAS BECOME A SUNDAY MUST AFTER CHURCH!! OH... THATS RIGHT TODAYS MONDAY 🤣 YOUR ONE OF THE BEST IN THE GAME!! I wish I knew your Jedi like ways!!

[@StaufferGarage]

Thanks Snoop ;) Appreciate it!

[@TMR147]

@@StaufferGarage U THA GOAT!!

[@moHdali-lr4me]

I watch you Because of your extraction shots

[@StaufferGarage]

These ones were delicious!

[@kennysepeda2706]

Those extractor pulls were beautiful sir. Well done on this one!!!

[@christyrodriguez2520]

Amazing! You really out did yourself. Great job! 👍

[@yael5087]

Your videos are a piece of art ❤️‍🔥 Of course we need a project car in this channel

[@metalhead4996]

Been subscribed for a while now. Love the videos. Keep them coming!

[@Pericles0330]

Love the older JDM cars! Picked up a 02 WRX last fall and absolutely love the thing!

[@MsLori06]

Yes please do a modded car. I’d love to see that

[@louM2095]

If its moldy is it not best to remove the carpet and clean it better. 🤔

[@XunknownBrazyX]

I’m down for a build series, car detailing, shop renovations 👀(if you have a shop that is) product review or even a day in the life of stuffer garage. Honestly I’m down with whatever content you want to put out I’ve been a fan for ages. 😁

[@bellasimcox4879]

You could make a second channel called stauffer garage wrenching. It could be where you fix up cars and/or you have cars that you have detailed that need work done to them and you show how to work on them. I know this would probably be a lot of work but would be really cool to see

[@thenameseatrh]

Welcome back everyone! Hope you’re all having a great day! Another great vid Stauffer! ♥️

[@RhysTAGOMOTOFouracre]

love these videos. . have elarnt alot from watching your videos and it has helped me clean my and men family cars.

[@cheslyn8614]

Damn you can really clean I love Subaru's seeing it like that was sad the car was smiling at the end 😁✌️❤️

[@THEBIGELK5150]

Build the car if it’s what you enjoy man! Content is better quality and fun to watch when the creator is doing something they love.

[@ScrappersDetailing]

Another great clean!

[@XanderWho]

These are getting harder to find now in decent condition so thank you for saving this one ! I got an 02 wrx myself

[@user-we6jo7mx3h]

my fav car brand in a satisfying detail video. amazing

[@JE_Carperformance]

I find this great when you pick up a car an mod this I think then comes also new followers Great work what you do

[@zzzr4604]

Definitely a cleaning & build series would be great!

[@adityasinghal4260]

it would be an absolute pleasure to watch you build your project car

[@tjglenridge5842]

Awesome extraction! A deep, rich cafe mocha!

[@alexmassie361]

Would love to see series with a car build 💪🏻

[@Ejq2322]

Your videos are always amazing, but because this was a tuner classic it made it even better! Maybe integra gsr build?

[@darknessislight3689]

Fantastic job 👍🏾☺️

[@jamalwilliams6819]

I definitely wanna see you get a car build on the channel would be sick!!!

[@TheMysteryPool]

Hoping to start my own channel n cleaning detail company in a couple much thanks for your videos boss

[@truckerplanet5344]

I think it will be really cool to see a Motorcycle get detailed 😎👍🏼

[@thegeemack]

Great Video as per your usual to me!

[@aidanthorsen2155]

Build series would be awesome!

[@artushhovhannisyan1683]

Soo satisfying 😮

[@vickybatchelor6858]

I was waiting for you to remove the carpet and pressure wash it. Brilliant transformation. I'd be very interested in following you mod a car.

[@iSoo0Hidda]

Defiantly like to see you pick up a car and build it . And do some tutorials on cleaning and modifications !

[@MoonPawsz]

You've motivated me to go outside and clean my car :D

[@freshsaltfishing3491]

It will be great to watch an 03-05 Civic Si(EP3) detail video since is a rare car to see. Love your videos man, meep it up!

[@joelbrunning727]

Would love to see a car build from you as well as the detailing 👍🏻👍🏻

[@PapaSpeed3]

I’m modding up an 09 Mazdaspeed 3 currently. Crazy sleeper!

[@jonathanmaravilla6800]

we need the build series!🙌🏼

[@Suprapunk_2248]

I would definitely watch Stauffer car modding videos

[@bradpiovesan8550]

Remember this body style fondly. They had two yellows, a highlighter yellow and a school bus yellow. Also, those factory MOMO steering wheels were pretty clutch.

[@harleyrobertson6746]

I do think the other 70% is either stoned or just bored looking for something to watch on KZbin, or both and they just want to watch something fun to pass the time

[@makinapersempre]

You forgot to put iron eraser and soap the entire car before to dry it

[@XNoSpacesX]

Pick up like a basic stock car and mod it! Just the level of detail in your details is so satisfying to watch. Would be super entertaining to watch a build video.

[@RegazozoGaming]

I would love to see some Car Modding! I have been into car modding since I was 16, started with an 87 Camaro that I spent way to much on, 98 Prelude which ended up being my Ebay budget project, then I found the Z series and fell in love. The 2006 350z got Supercharged and tuned 420WHP, kept the exterior stock for awhile but couldn't really hide the sound, so eventually I lowered it and threw some decent rims on it. At 90k miles the car began to slowly die, at first it was smaller stuff sensors and the normal things you end up replacing, then the computer started to go and it blew two gaskets, its time was up. Traded it in for a 2018 370z. I have 2 kids now and cant throw 1000s of dollars at a car for fun anymore but I cant leave a car stock either. Forgestar Rims, Z1 Intakes Headers and High Flow Catalytic coverters into a custom X pipe 2.5 inch dual system and a quick tune 345 WHP and I love love love the way this car looks. I probably spent more than I should... no one tell the old lady XD

[@Ethanmcrooks]

Although I was always a JDM junkie, I recently got a BMW e90 335xi and I have to say; if you can get a manual that’s been kept up on, they make some insane power for cheap. They drive great, look timeless, and feel premium.

[@paulbutterworth5369]

I used to have one of them wrx amazing cars miss mine

[@razvanvlq]

James, would be great if you’ll post a video with alcantara cleaning.. much appreciated🔝 Keep up with the great work! cheers

[@jeffrankin9744]

New types of content makes for a great channel. It would be cool to see you branch out

[@deerchaser7395]

I’d love to see you buy that wrx and go through it and fix it up and do more mods to it

[@matthewforward9570]

I would totally enjoy a car build series of some sort.

[@vangestelwijnen]

Cool vid! Do you use a steamer on (other) cars? Only item I didn't see here. Great job though.

[@justindaniels17]

If my friend were to clean a car like this he would pressure wash the entire interior 😂😂😂

[@mikey_atl]

Who wants to see a Stauffer Garage vs. ChrisFix collaboration?

[@Totally_wrx]

Check out 2004 - 2005 subaru wrx's their fun to work on and highly modifiable.

[@angelzambrano9773]

Wow wow wow! Amazing! 🚘😉👍

[@ImPacTMaSTer1]

Do a build series!!

[@jeremychippett905]

And oh yeah there's a reason u have 1.2 million subs and thats because ur details are legit bro. 👌 I like it 👌

[@StaufferGarage]

Thanks bro! Appreciate it

[@i-am-nem]

Do you have any advice at all about how to deal with a staticky interior?? I’m constantly wiping dust are my radio area!

[@Southsidefulldetail]

Looks so damn nice n sweet clean car damn you do great work I give you lots of thumbs up keep up your great work blessing from down south pharr Texas I do the same stuff like you detail everything so it comes out like new so the client can go happy

[@davontamontgomery2619]

Dj denz the rooster -living life

[@jeremychippett905]

Do you think the pressure washer is better on the Matts then the vacuum? I always pressure wash my Matt's then extract any water after. Great detail by the way

[@shawnstandiford7207]

This looks like a fun one.

[@timdogg8635]

Save the GD's!!! Nice job!

[@NJsteamy69]

Love it

[@jdmfl0w]

It's definitely a moldy STi. Awesome job getting it back to new again 👏 I miss my Stage 2 Subbie. I do miss that subbie rumble... I'd say get it or get another simple project car. First thing I'd do is replace those wheels lol. Get some stock BBS or Enkei wheels.

[@beemc3852]

What chemical do you use to clean the mold ? I have a Civic Si I need to do.

[@subarulyfe8317]

My husband had a 03 Bug Eye and then on 04 STI along with my 15 STI and his Mom's 08 STI Hatch Widebody. #SubaruProud

[@ToadieSage]

Over here anxiously waiting the engine bay cleaning on this 500hp Subi and got blue balled so hard when the before and after started rolling 😅

[@861LJ]

Was that a cassette player I saw!!!? :D Just curious as to why you didn't use your steamer on the door panels or dashboard. No foam canon on the exterior? Car turned out amazing.

[@MegaChevy25]

U should get yourself a project car and completely strip it down like u said in another video, pull the dash the carpets door panels everything and detail it from the inside out, every nook and cranny and make it a series and. Detailing and adding mods along the way. I think that would be a super interesting series to watch.

[@palacsintakat]

5 seconds in and I see a bee hive. Dear lord you're a mad lad haha

[@jonathanratliff4780]

Do u ever pull carpeting and clean gunk on chassis floor?

[@JackieG8991]

I really hope you get to detail a 90’s Miata! I’d love to see that

[@alianh3492]

love this car

[@MoneyManJake]

Pick up a project car. It’s a must need. Any Honda, Acura

[@StaufferGarage]

My first vids on this channel were a ek hatch I b18c swapped, wish I didn’t sell it!

[@juancqr]

Buy that one and make some videos modding and fixing. That will be amazing

[@caseypowell2497]

The interior looked so much better. The outside looked much cleaner but I think I would have it wrapped if it was mine. That carbon fiber looked real rough. I believe you can reseal it but I would just replace the hood with a stock one.

[@evoxjordan6330]

I personally really enjoyed this one as I'm a HUGE subie fan

[@StaufferGarage]

Heck yes!

[@superskyrimjob]

Whats in the spray bottle you use for door jams and stuff? and then what did you use on the door panels?

[@StaufferGarage]

Mint shine apc, my own product line. Got a buy 2 get 1 free special on my site. Www.foxclean.com

[@chrisspencer8815]

What carpet cleaning solution so you use brother??

[@antarahibnshaddad7725]

The steamer should’ve been used in this video

[@susankichler4050]

I like the car cleaner video

[@tbrickman]

Brightening up the headlights would have been a great touch

[@timjsmith]

Why does your outside light flicker (pulsate?) at 32:10 ? Great job on the car by the way, lots more grime than I’d expect for 3 years 👍🏻

[@thefreshprinceofgreenhills]

A day in the life of Stauffer Garage would be interesting, and buy this WRX lmao

[@fednox6081]

I think a project car would be fun for the channel.

[@bolland92]

The end song is always in your videos, what’s it called!?

[@troyd-motorsport9933]

what are using to kill off the mould? Definitely get a modded car!

[@zkal8153]

Can somebody please tell me how he mixes the all purpose cleaner for the chemical to have that sort of texture/base? I have the chemical guys all purpose cleaner and the spraying bottle however, mine doesn't get so foamy or have that flow? I also usually use 10:1 mix so I'm not exactly sure if it's the bottle, chemical or ratio?

[@ZigmundFreid777]

Usually 1:5

[@xinx-fn8973]

This would be a really fun project car, depending how much he wants for it, could be a steal if the engines good

[@raphaelszok8561]

Brent at WD Detailing loves those cars he recently bought one.

[@StaufferGarage]

Yeah his is setup really nice!
