Interior Detailing: Tools, Techniques, and Materials -- /DRIVE CLEAN

[@argen90]

Im glad this guy actually uses dirty cars to show how to clean. Not like chemical guys who use perfectly clean cars.

[@bobbycardona7766]

Yeah this guy is on a whole other level then Chemical Guys. His professionalism and passion for his craft are evident in his work.

[@julzchar1055]

Miguel Lagunas that's tru so so tru

[@key5ound5l10]

Miguel Lagunas he raises his standards leaving mediocrity behind #Win 2017 lets go!!!! thats the people u want on your team !! score

[@Royalpinemafia]

Miguel Lagunas Agreed

[@gcg8187]

Miguel Lagunas dude car detail enthusists do not wait 3 months to detail the car once it's really dirty, they do it every week

[@nobody77623]

The great thing about this dude is he doesn't push his products at you like other people will do, simply says " use your cleaner of choice". how you can tell this guy just loves cleaning cars and showing people how.

[@gob126]

I was confused until I realized this comment is 5 years old. Watching his more recent videos... your comment is no longer ringing true, sadly.

[@Kyle_Godfrey111]

gob126 lol

[@GoInGcRz]

@@gob126 While it is true that he began pushing his own products for the consumer to use, he still recommends that people also use what they are most comfortable with, if in the case that they have the tools or products that have given them good results.

[@loganmaven4380]

I dig the PASSION!

[@kenc2386]

Some of his products cost 3x what the competition costs. I don’t know that a $70 bottle of leather cleaner is superior to Meguiars, Lexol, etc.

[@mahmoodeid266]

Man you are a fantastic guy and the stuff that you've shown are the real big deal honestly I really enjoyed watching you and I hope you keep the best coming. A million like you deserve 👍🏻

[@1salvy3]

amen

[@TheSabianGuy]

i thought for sure i was the only one who put stripes on the carpet after cleaning them. Love this guy

[@bdragonseven]

It'd be awesome if AMMO products were sold through Amazon.

This is the best time of my weekend... cleaning my car.. it’s so therapeutic and satisfying when I’m done.

[@henadenk]

That so crazy...I was literally gonna type that I love watching this guy's show, because it's soothing, relaxing, AND informative, but mostly because of the first two...then I look down and see you beat me to it. I thought I was the only person who would like this show for such a reason.

[@flatbedder]

1 tip for cleaning the centre console where the gear shift is; on automatic cars make sure to put the gear shift all the way down (Usaully "1" or "L") and clean there because thats what the customer sees when they put it in drive and a lot of times its dirty. Great video by the way, love the Drive Clean series.

[@remedyfarm]

I use q-tips and wedge shaped makeup sponges to get into the edges of buttons, trim edges and vent louvers with cleaner and then anti-static conditioner. In my door I keep a Swiffer duster handy which helps the OCD when I notice dust while at a red light:) Love Larry's vids. Cheers!

[@MechRider89]

+remedyfarm That's a great idea..... I'm going to steal it haha

[@JustinCrediblename]

I use a microscope and a human baby eyelash brush, making sure to scan the images into my computer and map out a quadrant system to ensure that I've done the whole car, including inside the air ducting system.

[@CalebWininger]

decent. but kitten eyelash brushes are finer.

[@m15aq]

its so therapeutic watching these drive clean videos

[@Will-vk9th]

man those videos make me fall in love with my own car! He is so passionate about it!

[@heyyyitsvic]

Vlat Khushnav Same😂

[@davidchacon139]

Just gotta say this is the best straight to the point detailing video i have ever seen. Love how informative and simple it is to follow.

[@heyyyitsvic]

Really appreciated how descriptive you were throughtout the video. Your instructions were extremely fluent, easy to understand, descriptive, and very very helpful. Thanks for all the great information!

[@gebthabeb]

This video is really awesome. I thought those brushes were pointless and overrated, but with explanation, it makes sense to me now. I usually just use a microfiber towel to clean both exterior and interior, but I'm gonna invest in these tools for better detailing

[@JoseVera20]

Mr. Clean Magic erasers work great for dirty leather seats and door panels with some warm water and some all purpose cleaner mixed in (without amonia) I use that method all the time for my business 👍

[@TheJared1445]

Jose Sarmiento you're mostly correct but I've had them pull paint off at times

[@drewski23_7]

Jose Sarmiento definitely not good for leather

[@Bhuv-]

i was unbelievably skeptical, and thot this guy had an ocd or something and avoided his videos. I ran out of videos on motortrend and drive, so had to watch this, i have never been soo wrong. This is excellent.

[@twr41cox]

"Enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a meticulously cleaned cabin." That is what it's all about. The car drives better! Great video Larry!

[@mistermann3225]

Just got hired as a car retailer and today's my first day at work. This vid was helpful in showing me what to expect. Thank you

[@slimyaxolotl]

When drive clean first came out I was a little sceptical of it all, but the recent videos have been amazing. Being able to see a huge difference before and after with paint and interiors must be rewarding. Keep it up!

[@Fresse]

Every time I see one of these Drive Clean video's I need to force myself to watch it because I know it's going to be so much better than I expected

[@braydenhaines5456]

Using a soft bristled brush to clean any part of the car is a must! I never used them and when I say some for really cheap I decided to pick them up. The deep cleaning and lathering effect is amazing and works better than any cloth or scrub pad. Engine bay, interior fabrics, tight exterior trim and wheels are all cleaned so much better with a brush.

[@PatTheRiot]

Yup, I got myself a nice thick boar brush and I foam up the cleaners on cloths before vaccuming. Perfect spot clean.

[@HoangDPhung]

Your style is super and best of all, you make people more understand and appreciate what kind of works auto detailer have to put in

[@MarioKurill]

Drive Clean is definitely the best and most helpful series on Drive. Thank you Larry!

[@lukepugh76]

Man, these Ammo products seem to be the way to go. I love the quality professional instruction as well.

[@dowroa]

Larry does have videos about this on his site. Basically, right hand, upside down while on the passenger's side seat. Apply the cleaner only to the microfiber cloth, and never directly to the windshield to avoid overspray. I would take the time to see the video on his site, as he does a great job and shares tons of free information.

[@johnmharte]

Having bought an old E30 convertible I've been using your steaming methods and interior cleaner with great success! Another great video.

[@Mark13376]

Super informative and well demonstrated! /Drive Clean is easily on of the best shows on this channel!

[@tyler951]

Detailing is the best. Larry is right about the satisfaction of driving around in a meticulously cleaned cabin. The way my steering wheel feels after leather conditioner is soooo good. I recommend Gliptone Liquid Leather cleaner and conditioner. Especially if you like the smell of leather!

[@nelsonramos2218]

Thank you Lary for teaching us the ways to do things right and perfect! Your videos are so awesome!

[@MrMrXtra]

Wow! Drive Clean is the best! Iam 15 yrats old and These videos are do fasinating, forced my dad to but all Ammo formulas, atm Iam watching drive Clean and making My Dads jaguar look amazing!

[@Tomas45469]

it is soo satisfying to watch . he's taking it to the whole new level..

[@operez2118]

You are an inspiration. Your contribution is appreciated immensely!

[@hamnoburger5599]

How can i get bloods stains out from my trunk liner.

[@cyborgrat]

step 1 : step one go to store buy a gas tank and a lighter Step 2 : go to gas station and fill the gas tank(optional: can fill cars gas tank) Step 3: go to remote location and set car on fire(have a friend help and fallow you with his car) step 4 : poor gas on trunk \inside and on dead prostitute(for good measure poor gass inside car also ) Step 5 : Light car on fire

[@hamnoburger5599]

Sounds a little excessive for some steak blood .I suppose it would be a highly effective method

[@dnlmachine4287]

brick on gas pedal, off a cliff, huge fireball, classic one-liner....Profit

[@SavageSalad69]

Maybe you should stop kidnapping people

[@julzchar1055]

lol Smh

[@woodvilleian]

Thanks to your videos I took the time to go out and get proper cleaning products for my car and for the first time i went through all of the steps from wash, clay bar (first time ever), polish and wax. My car looks great thanks to the information you have provided. Thanks again keep up the good videos i hope you get the van. +1 vote from me,

[@doublen675]

I love this series. I would love to see an episode on starting your own detailing business. Some of the basics of what would be required and some tips.

[@Jballzx]

Another great episode. Excellent work Larry. I also enjoyed that he is not spamming us with his products(I checked them out on his website but felt they were too expensive for me).

[@cbmuzik3000]

He shows some really good things. Cleaning a car is so important when trading them in. I have a 2008 Mini and the dealer asks me who cleans my car every time I bring it to the dealer for service. When I tell them I do, they don't even bother washing the car. They never do as good a job as I do...it does help being a former detailer. =]

[@grantschneider926]

Where did you detail at? I unfortunately suckered into carmax not realizing how little time they give you to do full details, i have to get a full detail done no matter how dirty or old the car is in 3.2 hours. 2.7 if theres no sanding involved, i cant get it done in that time frame and do a great job at it to save my life

[@cbmuzik3000]

+Grant Schneider you're giving me a time frame but it depends on the overall condition of the vehicle. Even newer vehicles take time depending on the detail involved. I would start with the outside first. There are many new waxes that will give cars a reasonable shine. The time comes in when cleaning the inside. the nooks and crannies being clean go a VERY long way with resale value. But you mentioned Carmax. They are brutal. I just appraised a 2015 TLX with them. They gave me 6K less than an authorized Acura dealer. I wouldnt mess with them if I were you.

[@Jamesp2k00]

Love to see how far Larry has come since this video.

[@lexusluvvertyler4014]

Great that when I come to look at how to detail my car its the same exact model as my car. Although my car wasn't near as dirty as this it made my car look like it did straight from the dealer, the carpet stripe was a nice touch my friends were impressed

[@DetailxpertsNet1]

This is a very informative video. These are some great tips on how to maintain your car's interior.

[@tylerhilligoss]

These videos are just...so good. If only I had more money to get all the detailing products that I want.

[@Emgbodi]

You sir are a blessing to every car lover.

[@gabzor4716]

wow gentle and precise... finally a car that we may be able to afford! watched all your videos, but this one is nice because most people can relate to the quality (lexus = toyota = more common)

[@stefanobalbusso3937]

Fantastic video Larry. And the whole crew for the editing. The level of professionalism while showing how much of a car guy you are is exceptional. If I may suggest the next topics: engine bays and undercarriage. They will be certainly interesting!

[@lkalas1]

Great video, takes the ideas from his 'ride-along' video and extends upon them with excellent demo's and 50/50's. Loving this season of Drive Clean, bring on the rest.

[@dabocx56]

I really like how you showed more than one way of doing all this.

[@LSDelta92]

Im nnot going to lie....this guys voice is simply amazing. its so soothing and smooth, not to mention the music is calm and relaxed. this makes me want to go out and clean the all of the crap out of my Cobalt LS. I know, poor econo car, but....if youre not proud of what youre driving, then whats the point?

[@xbadcrcx]

The first season of /DRIVE CLEAN always irked me because it felt like a commercial for the Ammo NYC products (I'm sure they are fantastic but I just like to keep my ads and my content as separate as possible). That said, this season has been fantastic. This episode in particular was full of great info and tips that even plebeians such as myself can execute and afford. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@Juice4Breakfast]

Larry you are the GOD of car detailing..

[@20piperr]

this was the best video i've seen on leather seats cleaning

[@gnoxycat]

You sir are a saint. I like cleaning my car because it relaxes me now it will look better as well :)

[@anjr9915]

very helpful, love how the guy actually cleaned the dirty car so we can see the difference

[@smivlydee]

awesome video larry, I love the way you capture the tranquility of detailing which is sometimes lost as people hurry.

[@gabrieliannozzi7935]

I do really like this guys vids. He reminds me of myself with his obsessive compulsions hahaha, Saying microfiber towels is one. But I can see it in the way he cleans, everything is identical each time. Good stuff

[@peterzinyou]

Very awesome videos, thanks. Best I've seen on the Web so far, informative and helpful.

[@onod32]

This is what im looking for ... love your background music..its so soothing and relax...

[@marcoioffredi1182]

Click the text that says "Download a how-to PDF for this process". It is an active link to the pdf file! Another great episode guys!

[@nononori3141]

234 dislikes are car cleaning shops, great video and everything well explained, keep it up.

[@Humboldt710]

I could watch these videos all day!

[@EddyJoe]

I have to agree with most commenters, these videos are great and oddly soothing. There's something nice about watching dirty things get clean. :D

[@EricSiedlecki]

Another fantastic video, Larry. I've never gotten so excited about cleaning my car!

[@spikejnz]

I'm glad to see you're back on Drive! Though I did subscribe to your AmmoNYC channel during your brief departure and saw the SUV video you did of this. Thanks!

[@alecsgsx]

You diserve all that you have!you are the best in the domain sir!

[@weejitwill]

This is great! I just cleaned the interior of my Dakota but it's mostly carpet and plastic, maybe some vinyl. At least I know what to do for that dirty elbow rest!

[@matthewmendoza5729]

Fantastic video Larry. It was very informative and gave me some knowledge on how to tackle things in a different way. Love the channel and keep up the good work!

[@kckloo]

Fantastic video, thanks Larry. Bet the owner of that Lexus was more than pleased with the results of leaving his car in your capable hands.

[@ForgetTheHype14]

Holy crap.. I want this Guy cleaning my car. Such detail to work!

[@rdhwkfootballer]

This video (and all of his other ones) is why Larry deserves the new sprinter van.

[@tocsa120ls]

Oh boy :) I can understand the care for leather, dash, and headliner; but the floormats? I usually spray them with a heavy duty grease remover, scrub it in lightly and then use a pressure washer - works like a charm! (I wouldn't use it on a rare or very expensive floormat though!)

[@ryansingletoncanada]

Love the channel. Can you do a polishing video on a PWC (seadoo)? Getting more into the plastics, gel coat and seat clean. That would be awesome! Thanks again for all your hard work.

[@CarCareSAHills]

Good job Larry. I enjoy your videos and always pick up tips that I can use as a professional car detailer.

[@DanielMatranga]

Great tips, time to get out there and put them to use

[@Rustanator2]

Great video. Thanks. I really liked the structure and real time side by side comparisons.

[@deegan463]

Best part about watching the AmmoNYC/Drive Clean vids on interior is that when Larry goes over the larger areas like the seat at 6:40, you swear he's leaving some bits behind, and upon looking closer you realize they're on your monitor, and that he has just gotten some neglected tan leather seats cleaner than my damn computer.

[@joseb.1681]

This is some amazing work. I'm definitely considering to do this on the side to make some extra money, great video.

[@Chalizdekino1]

mate let me know how you go. need to start this too

[@naegleriafowleri76]

+Jose B. prepare to invest hundreds if not thousands on equipment which will defeat the purpose of making any money lmao

[@josesitocastorena341]

I need to start doing on this on the side too.

[@LuisPerez-ti4mg]

Latin Lover I know you may not respond but is it good money?

[@dankfamous1]

This guy is good you are not a scam artist cleaner like others I seen on you tube

[@codball42]

This is my new favorite show on driver, keep it up Larry :)

[@DennedTV]

You can put some washer fluid / glass cleaner on a microfiber cloth and wipe the windscreen. It can't be too hot outside, because then it'll dry to fast and cause spots. So let it sit a minute and then take a dry cloth to rub it off. It will require some hard pressure to get it off properly. Not sure if there's a better method, but this works just fine for me :)

[@raynutty82]

Great video!!!! I love making things look new again!

[@raynutty82]

Liked and subscribed!

[@AlexOliver555]

Drive Clean and Chris Harris on Cars are the only two series on Drive that I like before I've watched the video.

[@ACoustaDC]

man...you are good at your craft!

[@ekstarr]

great video Larry! one other great trick is to use compressed air to blast air out of nooks and cranny's!

[@johnshahidjs]

An episode on how to clean Sparco seats would be awesome, thanks drive.

[@Skorpion24gr]

Nice video as always. I would like to see a before and after shots in the end to see all the work done

[@flatbedder]

Big Muscle, Drive Clean, Chris Harris on Cars and Tuned are all great series.

[@TheShard09]

This is getting me pumped to clean my car!

[@ConkSMASH]

Very helpful tips. Another great how-to. Great job Larry. And keep it up.

[@SpiritPhoenixRose]

This is the bestest video I've seen on the subject 😊👍 Thanks Xx

[@actionong]

very informative and well edited video. clear articulation. thank you

[@neoasura]

I feel like this video is a how-to on cleaning up a crime scene lol Good video thought.

[@TheNightDriver]

Thankyou so much Larry, You have given me the ability to take care of my Porsche

[@photominion]

Now I look forward to clean the red leather in the S2k.. Before, I was kinda skeptical if there was anything to be done about it... Love this show! (And I would love for AMMO-products shipping to europe to be less expensive...)

[@davguy2446]

For dashboard I use 50/50 apc and water mix, for carpet i use carpet cleaner and a drill brush to get out the stains , if its more deeper I run the steamer and then drill again , wipe down , roof liner I use very little carpet cleaner and drill brush , and for the carpet mats I use apc and power wash them and wash all the dirt out , I do quality work I admire all the work but I'm not spending a whole day doing one car I take 300$ for 3-4 hrs of my time and still get quality results

[@Isaac86557]

This music makes me so sleepy. I fell asleep watching it the first time. Gonna try watching it again now.

[@d3v3ouzm1ndz]

IVE WAITED SINCE SUNDAY FOR THIS!!!

[@jordanlee8577]

depending on where you live , look around at your local hardware stores like home depo etc they have steam machines there for consumers , they aren't as great as some of those higher priced ones but they can do the job!

[@TypeVertigo]

Great video Larry. Would love to see what tools and techniques you recommend for specialty interior materials, such as Alcantara. More insight on mold and mildew removal would also be good for a follow-up video. Cheers!

[@marcoioffredi1182]

They do! Check out the pdf guide on the website. I found it really compliments the episode well.

[@seanlarson6946]

Funny...I was actually watching this video to clean the exact same car. Same color interior and everything lol/

[@2002C5Vette]

Awesome tips Larry. NOW LETS HELP HIM GET THIS SPRINTER VAN!
