Deep Cleaning The NASTIEST Lexus?! | The Detail Geek

[@TheDetailGeek]

Absolutely LOVING how good the Lexus turned out!! 😍 Make sure you check out Episode 2 of the Studio Build series over on the second channel and be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode!

I definitely didn’t guess a Lexus when you posted the rims. Great video as always!

let me buy a really expensive car and just let it go to hell. detail geek to the rescue!

[@haleysedoris1842]

Hey Mitch, just a question. Yesterday I saw a guy take a pressure washer to the permanent carpet of the interior of this car they were detailing. Have you ever done that or considered doing that on any stubborn stains?

[@A_S12042]

Just wanted to let you know, I didn’t get a role in my sixth form (in the UK) and this was the first video that I watched and it cheered me up so much. For that I’m thankful- I doubt you’ll see this but if you do I really appreciate it

[@lushsamazingautodetailings4009]

It's looking pretty good man. I have been watching your utube videos ever Friday's. You have expired me to start my own detailing services. I have done two vehicle's now and I can't wait to do more. It fills good to help people out on these bad time's. I enjoy your work man and can't wait to see how your Studio turns out. Oh one more thing maybe you should give Mike a job there🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 God bless

[@jeanettefleckenstein1156]

I cleaned my spare bedroom and organized so much stuff from a move and it took about 9 hours. Your videos and the background music helped make that happen. Thank you for such a badass mix and consistent video flow.

[@leslievenditto8863]

When that Lexus was finished being detailed it said “ I’ve never had it so good “. Another amazing detail. The powerful moment for me was the bug guts not moving when you power washed the front. Then sprayed with DG bug remover and BOOM! Bug proteins gone ! Great work. Love the movement on the new DG business. Can’t wait for you to film your first vehicle in the DG man cave with Eagles music playing in your earplugs! Awaiting my next wash meditation session.

DG moment

[@Thesheriff1776]

It’s amazing how much dirt comes out of the license plate area

[@IAmElectrospecter]

I've always wondered if he details the plates separately too

[@rolla1188]

Its moreso the drainage areas from the rear window around the weather stripping in the trunk that collects a ton of dirt. I usually get mine separately being that I've got an outback and can't really get in there well with a pressure washer. This car seems to let a lot of water in through where you lift the trunk from though, it usually doesn't work out that way.

[@the_m34]

The front and ironically the rear are the areas which collect most dirt/dust in a car

[@pinut187]

You never washed a dirty car 🚗😉

[@lauraduncan8174]

[@shannonp1656]

These videos are truly educational. Today I realized something else. There were a couple of remarks that made me think it would be really interesting to just sit down and talk with Mitch over lunch about anything but detailing. He seems to be an interesting and intelligent guy.

[@simoncuthbert4519]

It’s great to see the passion you have for what you do come through on these videos. Watching them is sooo satisfying!

[@ACCORDriver_NL]

I would be "itching" to do a headlight restauration on this one, mostly because one headlight is so much more damaged by sunlight than the other. I'm guessing the customer didn't want that done, for being the perfectionist that you are, I think you'd also like to to them?

[@TheDetailGeek]

You know me well 😄

[@stephentootle6388]

Lexus headlights quite often do go yellow on one side more than the other My IS220D is exactly the same, right side worse than left (UK)

[@Matt-ge3ix]

I was extremely surprised he didn’t. I’m much the same, personally, I would have fixed it, and not charged the customer just because my ocd wouldn’t handle leaving it like it!

[@elizabethwonders]

I’ve heard that some LED bulbs with certain plastics of headlight assembly lenses can yellow the lens. I too was itching for him to restore the right headlight especially. I’m past it now, but being a Type A personality, “phew” it was tough! 😂🤯⭐️😊👍

[@el__2handed]

I agree. Short of a paint correction, restoring the headlights would’ve dialed in this car so much more.

[@MaalysWorld125]

Detail was worth every Penny. The beginning and end of this video is how my Lexus was and now is. The guy before me had it looking like the before’s in here and the after you can’t even tell it’s the same car. You killed this keep up the work your doing good!

It's not a matter of should have. It's what the customer is paying for and that's it. If they want it restored then pay for it. If he starts handing out freebies that now becomes an expectation by all customers and he will lose money like that.
