How bad are the $6000 Auction Cars? $400 Ferrari Flip Series - Flying Wheels

[@jessebarragan3930]

I like how youre showing realistic cars. Not just cool $40k plus cars

[@travisbrueckner4457]

Finally!! Love the Ferrari flip series!! So just keep making new starting low $ and building it into something sweet once this one is done. Its really fun watching

[@JFroMG_YT]

Yeah but he doesn’t have $6000 extra on the $400 flip videos. He spent almost his entire budget on the other car

[@thomasgoff1059]

@@JFroMG_YT no I belive he meant after the series is over(when the Ferrari is bought). Which I belive there is already plans for a new series

[@milesjantzi]

Yes he said he’ll do one for German to get his dream car

[@doingyamom]

Just so you know, it may not be the best idea to hose the carpets down. I’m not sure about that Acura but most modern cars have modules under the seats. Stuff like the power seat module, airbag module, etc. Just be careful where you spray. Otherwise it’s a great video!

[@lilredexptsc]

I bet a steamer would be a worthy investment for interior cleaning. Wouldn’t need to use a razor blade then. They also make plastic razor blades if you still wanted to use them.

[@RealGalaxyGamers]

I believe he has one.

[@Astrand1]

And he needs a drill brush. So much faster to work the soap/degreaser into the carpets.

Most common issues with automatic TLs are the torn seats and blown transmissions. The manual transmissions are great.

[@FeloniousSavage]

Me and Craig have two completely definitions of car flipping, Craig buys cars cheap and does a phenomenal job fixing them up then flips them for profit, me on the other hand swerve to avoid a raccoon at 70 miles an hour then flip my 2020 Toyota Camry I rented from Enterprise three times completely totaling it... Maybe I should take the car flipping 101 class.... Looks like I'm going to need to make a little extra money to pay off this insurance debt lol. Laughing but very serious...

[@rossfield8850]

Glad your ok tho 👍 (I’d have swerved too)

[@FeloniousSavage]

@@rossfield8850 I know they say You're supposed to just hit the animal instead of swerving but there was no traffic on the road and I just didn't have the heart in me to run him over.... It was a rental I thought I paid the extra $18 bucks for the damage waiver that covers it but I accidentally paid for the bare minimum... I appreciate it I'm fine I will say this Toyota sure made a good car after rolling three times and landing in a ditch I came out of it with just a small cut on my arm from the broken glass and a bruise on my face where the air back deployed and pushed my glasses into the bridge of my nose could have been a lot worse

[@drivenserb]

I’ve worked many detail jobs from a Honda dealership, Mannheim’s reconditioning bay to running my own mobile business. Mannheim’s does the same sort of cleaning they spray the carpets with degreaser and actually pressure wash the floors then it goes down the line and gets wet vac’d. I’m not a fan of this method though. If you ever go to auction and the car smells musty and the carpets are crunchy…that’s what happened. When I ran my mobile business I used one of those cheap bissel extractors from big box store. Still pre treat and scrub but it takes a lot more dirt out and you don’t leave any product in the carpets. Honestly it’s worth it

[@Tac_3403]

I asked for one of these for Christmas lol. Trying to start a detailing business on the side, now I just need a better heater in my garage

[@drivenserb]

@@Tac_3403 I added the carpet deep clean as an extra service it made me some good money. Machine lasted about a year and a half to 2 years. They’re worth it but still always pre treat and scrub for best results. Machine works wonders on those minivans that get destroyed by young kids lol

[@Tac_3403]

@@drivenserb oh yeah for sure on the pre soak and drill brush. Do you do seats out? How much do you charge for coupe, 2 rows, and 3 row?

[@drivenserb]

@@Tac_3403 only do seats out on personal vehicles and 2nd/3rd row for vans on past customer vehicles. Cost wise that always depends for a dirty van I was doing full in and outs for 150ish and 60$-100$ for carpet shampooing. If they had 2 vehicles I would cut the interior shampoo in half for both vehicles. Mind you this was 11 years ago and for the work I was doing it was 4-5hr per car

[@bastionwolf]

There is a Bissell spot clean extractor that I use in my detailing business, it works wonders. It's also really cheap and extremely reliable.

[@goleafsgo8496]

Love how the latest version Wranglers come pre-wired with aux switches already installed. Pretty sure it's standard equipment (?) at least on the Saharas we buy. Makes life so easy to swap lights in and out of the wife's Jeeps. Cleaning cars is such a satisfying project especially when they are big time nasty.

[@johnnysouza5601]

It’s so common the 2004-2008 Acura TL has horrible leather, I don’t think you will ever find one with out the tops, it gets hard and just rips

[@joesandri5799]

Found one - mine. 2005 TL with 184k miles. But I have been using leather conditioner on it for years to keep it from turning hard and tearing. Rock solid car and still runs like a champ.

[@Whateva67]

I have an 05 TL,180 thousand kms,no rips or tears at all. Conditioner on the seats every few years works wonders.

[@michaelcole2359]

I spilled hot candle wax all over carpet one time and it set in instantly. A hot iron over paper towels and it remelted and soaked into the paper towel. You could do the same with crayon on seats.

[@ulfg1409]

Heat and leather probably isn't a very good combination, you may get a hard and brittle result.

[@williamsilverman2581]

ebay sells lots of replacement seat coverings relatively cheap

[@tennnis498]

Seat covers usually suck. I’d clean the seats and let the O.G. fix the driver seat.

[@comradg]

Another great video... thx for the lesson. Feel awful for the kids that spent time in the Acura backseat! Also, where is the matrix you bought? I'm gonna wish i bought that before you fixed it all up!

[@frostbite1991]

vinyl on the seat and paint both the front seats, completely, with leather/vinyl paint. Something close, but doesn't have to be a 100% match with the rear seat. Paint em both, nobody will know the difference besides other detailers. if you just paint the drivers seat it's a dead giveaway. $250 upholstery plus like $10 for paint, easy fix. Well worth it.

[@mongo64071]

Does that Acura need a timing belt? That’s a pretty big expense.

[@worldofai-games1036]

It does. Honda’s J series V6 engines always use timing belts... even on their current J35

[@astonman4]

Craig, would a hand-held steamer get the crayon and other crud off of the leather more safely than a razor blade?

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

A drill brush makes quick work of agitating the dirt in the carpet, and gets deeper into the fibers.

[@mahmoudsalameh9708]

[@aber1711]

Videos are great. I would definitely recommend getting detailing equipment like drill brush, extractor, steam cleaner, and different brushes. I think it would improve the clean-up but also make it a lot more efficient. Again, you guys do great as is but a razor and water hose on the interior is risky.

HNY from down under! Suggest you spray WD40 on the stickers that are on the seats - you will find that the WD40 will penetrate the glue and you can easily scrub the residue off with a plastic brush or a rag!
