First Wash in 12 Years: ABANDONED Ford Mustang! | Car Detailing Restoration

[@WDDetailing]

Now that we teased what's coming next week..... Who's excited?!

[@russellmorgan5611]

The organic matter is from a vine called Virginia Creeper. That's how it anchors. 👍

[@thomashartwig5059]

ME! The Ferrari BB 512 was the "big" 365. The name comes from the 512S, which was used in the Formula 1 in 1970. 5 liter V12 engine. In the 90ies, it was one of the most underrated Ferraris because of the huge costs of the engine maintenance. If this is a US model after 1981, it is called 512 BBi. Due to the emission standards in that time, the engine has a Bosch K-Jetronic injection. You can recognize this model at the parking lights.

[@wdubduece8913]

I'm no mechanic, but should you be spraying the alternator like that?

[@MikeWilbanks-j9e]

Just curious, would that iron remover work on the carpet or would it bleach it

[@savinadesouza]

Hello

[@holnugget]

I own an 04 v6 and some people may not know, that the rear bumper cover that says MUSTANG is getting really hard to find. When you buy a replacement cover these days its blank. Fun fact. Also, the v6 although low in HP compared to modern cars is very easy to work on and reliable if kept up. You can also get about 22-26 mpg on hwy.

[@gavingonder707]

I was recently given a 2000 v6 and it had over 330,000 miles when I received it. I have put almost 7,000 more on it, and it has had zero issues. The previous owner had bought it for his wife, who was a little hard on the clutch, but he was very good about routine maintenance, and it runs great. It still has the original engine and original everything, with the exception of some exterior add-ons (namely some unique paint and lettering)!

[@lesterjones9335]

I have a 2000 v6. I have been thinking of getting back on the road. Needs some work done but I may have it done this summer. Starting with a good wash.

[@1wickedmerc]

All the 99-04 v6 and GTs had mustang on the rear bumper. I had a 04 GT and I hated the mustang lettering in the bumper .

[@Searchfored]

Sadly nowadays the late 90s and 2000s car parts aren't being made anymore which makes them a pain to find in good condition besides going to the junkyard to get a factory instead of getting an aftermarket which will be probably expensive…😤

[@garycamara9955]

I get better horsepower to weight in my 67 MINI Cooper S. And it's faster. It gets 35 to 45 mpg.

[@scootytamra]

Wow she looks so much better! She deserved all that love! Great work guys!!!

[@johncornell3665]

That was one dirty Mustang. Great job cleaning it up. What a big difference. Thanks guys!

[@The_Brett_Dove]

I work as a detailer and refinisher at CarMax and we just ordered a few gallons of puro to try out. 💪

[@siphomogale779]

I don't know much about cars or engens but it will be great to see it back on the road especially with the detailing you doing

[@damonsdeliberatedetour492]

Bring it back to life! Cars of the yesteryear need to be revitalized.

[@willvr4]

It's a V6 auto, they would lose money on it and they aren't in demand.

[@garycamara9955]

By yesteryear I mean the 60s.

[@garycamara9955]

Put a 302 5 spd in it.

[@valrabellkeys9867]

These cars are seriously underrated. They are (currently) cheap, last, and are very easy to work on.

[@edwardpitingolo3206]

I’m always a fan of restoring to the original.

[@mtw2025]

Yea, I always hated shows like Pimp My Ride that put ridiculous things in and on cars, but loved Overhaulin' with Chip Foose.

[@robbicu]

Excellent video! My daddy at 93 years old has this Mustang in White with the drop top.

[@MidwestMotor]

My mom had a 1990 Mustang 5.0 convertible which was awesome but she wanted to get something newer and ended up getting this exact spec except the top was a tan color. I HATED that she went from a V8 to the V6 but it was actually pretty quick! Great work guys!!! i CANNOT WAIT for the next video!!!!!! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@C3Gaming1]

Love your videos! Detailing helps me deal with my anxiety/depression and PTSD. I could watch these all day….lol

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Why do people treat the second most expensive thing they own like garbage ! Unbelievable.

[@willvr4]

Some people just don't care about their car, and it's also a depreciating asset that is expensive to maintain properly. This thing probably just had engine issues and then was essentially abandoned.

[@widtrak77]

Nothing more than an appliance to them

[@CreachterZ]

Or someone passed away. Went to prison. Was disabled. You never know the full story.

[@scottmoto]

Exactly.

[@AustinMafia-zk5nf]

I loved my 02 V6 Stang!

[@ElMujiosss]

10:32 In germany we call that stuff "Efeu". It grows all over brick walls, windows or basicly anything that is not getting taken care of. Its called "Ivy" in English.

[@Robert-qh2jp]

sehr gut

[@samio3907]

23:58 that seat buckles can be brought back to life with some hot air for the final touch 👌

[@vorsprungdurchtech]

What a transformation!! CONGRATULATIONS on 1M subscribers!!!

[@ScrappersDetailing]

You really brought the shine back to that Stang!

[@francoisbouchard602]

Nice job Nice Mustang good show 😃👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

[@ronvan1362]

Great job guys. Love those Mustangs

[@Thenardog1975]

That 3.8 with a 5 speed had a lot of torque and fun to drive.

[@mizukokanagawa]

So you guys can have the knowledge - This updated version of the SN95 is actually called the "New Edge" Mustang! I had one of these a number of years ago. Wasn't a convertible, but was a V6 in the red. Absolutely loved this car, and miss it dearly... Considering buying another one.

[@blksnke2]

While yes, it is unofficially nicknamed the "New Edge Mustang," it is still just an SN-95 with the mid-cycle facelift, utilizing Ford's "New Edge" styling initiative, which also applied to the Focus, Windstar, and Mercury Cougar.

[@mommasboy1990]

I had a 98 red mustang and the interior looked pretty much the same as that one but mine luckily was a 5 speed. This one's body style is what I always wanted back in the day

[@korn4life79]

I think “Goo Gone” can help with those sappy like vines on the headlights. They have different forms of Goo Gone too I believe as well. But it’s just oil essentially. And absorbs nicely w/ paper towels. Hope this helps. ✌🏼👌🏼 10:45

[@MegaRetr]

Excellent video! )))

[@danmontour8584]

whattttttttt, no mouse nest, thats a rare one !!! WOW, next one is promising, cant wait

[@CRS099]

If you just want a summer time cruiser, this is perfect!!

[@seanwarner9893]

I picked up a '96 for $2500 and it is so fun to just drive around in with the dog or wife

[@TransistorBased]

I finally had some good days to drive mine with the top down and I'm really going to miss that since I'm planning on replacing it soon due to a failing transmission

[@darkvalebrewer93]

What in the Magnum PI!!!!! Looking forward to next week!

[@theymusthatetesla3186]

LOVELY little car!

[@alisonscannell3721]

The rust stains on the rubber mat looked to have come from the pedals, rust could be seen on both, probably condensation made it drip down. Fabulous transformation as always 🎉

[@avioncamper]

This car is worth fixing up for a weekend cruiser. Convertible adds lots of bonus points and red too.

[@TheRealStangyStang]

This vid is so awesome, I have the same but a 99 GT v8, So cool keep up the great work guys!

[@michaelnorman8247]

Good old ford paint ! Great video

[@TDewar]

Torch red. Best color. My 2002 gt is torch red. Loved how you guys brought it back to life.

[@jerrodjnoles5361]

Great job fellas mustang looks good

[@SimplyJustLake]

Literally had my 04 mustang totaled a few weeks ago by someone who suddenly pulled out on me, was sad to let her go 😭. Though it is nice to see other slow ponies get a nice refresh, love your guys work and can't wait to see more!

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here 🍩☕️😎😎👍. Not bad very nice work guys ! Convertible are so few , I would bring it back as is and make it Friday night cruiser 🍔🍕🍦🥤

[@305classics]

I just love these videos you guys do. Great job! Hello from Miami’s classic car scene.

[@timsmart4014]

Very detailed video this is what I’m looking for

[@fadyramaihi1975]

Nice job guys love that ford

[@mbritton1984]

You guys do great work! Have you ever heard the phrase “polishing a turd”? You’ve definitely done it.

[@Thomas-xt1ff]

Great job, looks amazing.

[@LauraBanister]

This makes me miss my 2014 Ford Mustang!! I love driving my "silver bullet" all around western New York!! I love it!!

[@ericwhite5290]

What an amazing job. I can't wait to see the next video.

[@markjones6181]

Congratulations on 1mil. Subscribers, you guys rock.......Stay Up, Hard, and Healthy...... 🔥🔥👍🏽❤️💯

[@xelixofficial3862]

for rust stains that deep in plastic, you guys did a pretty damn good job!

[@DSP1968]

You guys did your usual stellar job! Personally, if this car really doesn't run, it's probably easiest for an experienced backyard mechanic to just repair/replace the V-6. Lots of extra parts needed to convert it to a V-8, I'm sure. The car looks in pretty good shape overall from an appearance perspective after you finished with it. And most of the accessories probably still work.

[@hernanmartinez8313]

Love the ford vs Ferrari reference

[@davidacks8014]

It was parked for a reason. Before I would say parts car, what does the undercarriage look like, as it appears to be a rust belt car and you admitted having problems getting the seats out.

[@johnteniteni8423]

Good morning Everyone from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@marcolubke3957]

Habt ihr ja wieder klasse Arbeit angeliefert.

[@DuckReach432]

That motor with a pod filter and set of headers would be fine. Nice work, by the way.

[@Tony-hg9kc]

Does steam cleaning the interior affect any of the electrical switches and such?

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

I've never had a problem, but it seems like it's definitely a possibility.

[@KlarkandKemuel]

We love mustang Uncle..

[@BongVillanuevaGales]

Wow amazing very nice beautiful car

[@cristianodummel316]

Simply the best car!

[@markquinn4243]

Excellent Video. It would be great if you could give some tips on using touch up paint if you ever do that in your detailing.

[@nickchandler4334]

I have found so many good songs from your videos

[@ClodoaldoMarques-v8n]

keep up the good work my friends, more videos more videos ....

[@bernandoturner4840]

Yall Great..U2 got the know/how when Cleaning A Dirty Car. I subscribed.😅

[@lawrenceharp6396]

That's what many cars look like on Big Island of Hawaii. Many even have ferns growing out of the floors inside and exterior!

[@KevinEllisGuitars]

Nice work!❤

[@southerncharm2023]

Y'all continue to step up your game.

[@Adam-cb6ve]

My grandpa bought an 02 Mustang that was identical to this one (except his was mint) a couple years before he passed. The first week he owned it he left it to me just to drive around, without me even asking. I took it to 2 proms. 2012 & 2013. The first one I asked him the 2nd his health wasn't doing too well and I didn't want to bother about it but once he found out he made sure that I knew I better take it. Anyways love to see that you guys took care of this one even if it is just a V6 automatic.

[@mexicanspec]

14:38 Since you don't remember the interior styling cues from earlier Mustangs, try looking at the interior of the 1969 Mustang. See what you see.

[@thom8577]

Congrats on 1 millions subs, guys. You do amazing work.

[@RonnieSmith-f5v]

I have learned so much from you guys Love your videos How can I get hold of some puro apc?

[@justhimo2728]

omg you so lucky 1 million subscribers wow unbelievable 👏

[@stefanotanti7296]

Great My friends ! My dream car , whit a Ducati monster 🤩

[@voy911]

I have a SN95 3.8L V6 Mustang Pacific Green, the colors was only used from 1996 to 1998 and i love my Car i use it all th time

[@ricardoderobles9494]

Looking good nice job. Big 10 from Houston texas

[@reginagurganus3064]

Nice job!! Can't wait til next week to see what that is, and what you will do with it lol

[@vicwithav]

You guys need a 2nd Channel that's purely washing and zero talking.

[@Daz_Stap]

Personally, I'd love this car over here in the UK, it'd make a great weekend show car and would be thoroughly enjoyed.

[@funnyvideos-jx3dc]

I love American videos🎉❤

[@robspedding9520]

Love how in the US a 190bhp V6 is a high-schoolers car. Here in the UK it'll ve something with a one litre engine and 70 brake! We'll still have fake hood scoops though 😊

[@dalegereaux1863]

Watching what you guys do almost makes me want to let my car get really filthy just so you could make it look like new again. I just can't bring myself to let my car get dirty in the first place though so I guess I'll just have to keep watching your show. 😉👍

[@joebennefield3368]

Y'all made it look like a new car it's great 👍👍❤ y'all 😎 RJ your the best 😁

[@Musclecar1972]

I think the Buick Grand National guys are going to take a little exception to your V-6 comment! LOL Or maybe the GMC Syclone people might have a thing or two to say as well, about the V-6 and Muscle vehicles. LOL But I could be wrong! 😉😳🤦‍♂️ The dashboard is reminiscent of the 63-67 Corvette, if you look back at them.

[@douglasb.1203]

Cerakote is awesome for headlight resto. The 3.8 can have the TBird Supercoupe super charger can be added. Hertz in Hawaii lost a rental.

[@TheBrianKelley1]

Looks like a 512 BB. Very nice!

[@shaclo1512]

wouldn't trust that taped wing tho 😂

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Hello guys! Apparently, that organic material you have on the headlights and paint is artillery fungus. Yvan Lacroix taught me it can be easily removed with peanut oil. I used it on my brother's Subaru Forester since he lives in Florida but spent several vacation days in Virginia, and when I visited him, I detailed his vehicle. We don't have that in Puerto Rico, so it was my ever first experience dealing with that organic material. Yes, it can't be removed, even spraying iron remover or water spot remover, and sometimes it's very difficult also with a synthetic clay towel or a clay bar before polishing and it was extremely easy with peanut oil.

[@robh.5242]

That was actually a very nice Mustang for someone’s first car! That “double cove” dashboard was a feature of of the early 4-seater Thunderbird from 1958 through the mid-1960s. How was the cruise through Italy?!

[@LORDS-SWORD]

The rust on the mat, was from the pedals above. As Brandon would say, Come on man, you know the thing!! Great job 👏 L😂L

[@rossdevin9799]

Just a question, do you let the puro sit and soak for 5 or 10 min before spraying it off? You guys rock, I love watching your videos.

[@KobeandMichaelJordan]

Question is that white sponge you are using is it a Mr clean magic eraser

[@brettsherborne9027]

Good videos lads, any tips for cleaning dirty lighter coloured seat belts? Cheers

[@82mjoseph]

Came out looking 👀 niceeeee good 👍🏾 job y’all

[@tombrooks5933]

in high school a friend of mine had a '69 Cougar XR7 and it had the sequential rear turn signals. i thought that was the coolest thing at the time.

[@bksmurf808]

Interior looks Great Pretty Sure Ms.Emeline King would Be Proud 💐 🤗

[@volodya6]

What products do you use for cleaning and detailing? Would be appreciated, I have 2014 Chevy camaro...

[@Chris-CardVault]

Diamond in the Rough!! 💎 !!

[@cesarefoligno7957]

Veramente un gran bel lavoro!!! Un saluto dall' Italia..😉👍🇮🇹

[@robertn2813]

Sequential tail lights only appeared on Shelby Mustangs between '67 and '70 , and on newer Mustangs from 2010 . They were also installed on the '67 - '73 Mercury Cougars .

[@tommygtr3571]

I had this same car except for mine was white and it was a 5spd stick. 190 HP was what the V8 was getting just a few years prior. I loved it! This was the higher line V6 due to the leather seating.

[@thierryds7295]

Good job! J'aime bien ces Mustang mal aimées des 90's...👍

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

even tho i love corvettes, especially the 80's ones, i wouldn't mind taking this mustang for a ride. i too think that a v6 is a little underpowered but it's not bad at all. cool find, and i can't wait for that beast next week!

[@lamvandanh1993]

Awesome car wish I could own one 🤩🤩

[@jasonconley771]

Rust stains on plastic usually means high iron content or rust content in water. Rust stains on plastic may seem unexpected, but they can happen easily when metal objects are left on plastic surfaces or if plastic comes into contact with rust-laden water. These unsightly stains are stubborn but not impossible to tackle. In this article, we’ll dive into several effective methods on how to remove rust from plastic, covering both home remedies and commercial products that can help restore your plastic items to their original state. Materials Needed Before you begin, gather the necessary materials. The tools and products needed are generally easy to find and budget-friendly, making this project accessible for most people. Here’s what you’ll need: Baking soda: A common household item that, when combined with vinegar, forms a powerful cleaning paste. Vinegar: Known for its natural acidity, vinegar is excellent for breaking down rust. Lemon juice: A natural acid that smells great and works well for light rust stains. CLR (Calcium, Lime, and Rust Remover): A commercial product designed to target rust stains. Magic Eraser: A cleaning tool that can scrub away surface-level stains without damaging plastic. Scrub brush or abrasive pad: For tougher stains that require more elbow grease.
