Detailing Dirtiest Car Ever! Seat Removal Chevy Tahoe

This is 2003 Chevy Tahoe used as a work truck for 17 years with 300K miles and hauls dogs, tools, and ladders etc... The owner is a good customer, so it was time to remove the years of germs and bacteria with a deep carpet cleaning and interior detailing. However, I later found out (as you will see in the video) that every 4 years or so, he removes the interior and power washes the floor. Subsequently, to no ones surprise, the floor was rusting from the top down. So we had to remove all the seats and carpet to rust proof the metal AFTER detailing. Hope you enjoy this complete disaster i the Detailing Dirtiest Car Ever! Seat Removal Chevy Tahoe episode. -Larry

This is beyond detailing, it's practically a restoration job.

[@Thecarcissist12]

Just a tip for the headliner repair part. I used to work in an interior shop and these chevys were notorious for this... The headliner isnt falling down because the original glue is bad, its falling down because the foam backing has disintigrated. You have to use a scuff pad to get rid of as much of that decaying foam before you can glue it back up like he is. if you dont get rid of the foam first, its just gonna come back down in a few days

[@muminiasty]

This is exactly what this is. That headliner needs to come down for a full restoration.

@@Hammerjockeyrepair m8, have you like never seen a vehicle with over 100k in your life? Most of the vehicles that my family owns or have owned in the past hit well over 200k. Step dads 2002 Ram 1500 was 430k before he sold it. Yes, he sold it. My 2010 Sebring has 230k miles, brothers 2006 G6 hit 200k last week, dads old 2003 Ram 1500 hit 210k before he sold it, uncles 2004 or 2005 Buick (unsure of the model) had 290k and the transmission was just starting to slip. My Grand Prix didn't quite make it that far, sadly, it had too much rust but it made it to 170k before the brakes went out completely (landed in the driveway but lost it pulling it into the garage lol) and the gas line was leaking. Everything under the hood was amazing, just not the body. I'll put money on it that it hits 400k.

[@Hammerjockeyrepair]

@@SteelOfLegend yes 2 of my daily drivers have 250k+ a few of my customers have cars with over 350k. My statement is that after all of those miles and pressure washing every single year, it really never made that big of an issue

Takes out any stain Guaranteed Carpet Layers have used this trick for many years and it works wonders and way cheaper👍

[@Firebirdgm2000]

This video couldn't be any more relevant to me, thank you for going so far in depth with this detailing. I purchased a heavily used Yukon that STUNK of chemicals from the inside. I spent a weekend gutting the interior and dash, replacing the carpets and cleaning every piece of interior I could.

I love that you're able to show all the techniques you use in detail without worrying about giving away trade secrets. The secret is you have to have a ton of experience like you do. I could try these techniques on my own- but unless I take it to a pro, I won't get the same results. Thanks for showing us how the pros do it, but I will leave it TO the pros who can actually pull it off.

Larry, It amazes me how as detailers we can post videos of really cool cars, what always grabs the attention of the viewers and subscribers is a normal car that's brought back to life. Great work by the way.

[@twr41cox]

It’s fun to watch the dirty ones too. Also, being from Michigan (salt belt) I’ve noticed vehicles suffer from floor pan rot from the top down. It’s typically from salty slushy boots during the winter, and the lack of rubber floor mats. Parking lots and sidewalks are covered in salt and other corrosive chemicals in the winter to protect from icing. With no rubber floor mats to catch the wet salty boot drippings, the salt water from the boots sink into the carpet and rest on the floor board paint. After a few winters, the floor boards rust out. Rubber mats are the best way to protect from this along with regular cleaning under the carpets. Keep it clean!

[@twr41cox]

Also explains why it’s more rusty on the driver footwell then other areas...

[@porscheguy09]

Some WeatherTech rubber formed mats would be the perfect thing for that guy’s Tahoe. The front floors fit from edge to edge and the center floorboard mat goes from door to door and they make one for the back area too. Not only do they have raised edges to trap and hold liquids like melted snow, mud or in his case dog pee. But they are easily removed and cleaned. It would save that guy a lot of work and be so much easier to clean.
