Winter has taken its toll on this Volkswagen but what I found inside was truly astounding!

[@alejandroalcala2340]

And that is exactly why I dislike VW’s, they are sooooo dull inside. No doubt their vehicles are built to a good standard, it they are stuck years back in time regarding their interior design.

[@draganmeister8770]

Well. I have a Touareg but a litle bit older. My one has more and better intrieur. You can have a cheap one and a expensiv one and all between. Happy new year and greetings from germany

[@denistahirovic7064]

Regarding the comments about interior design, just a qucik reminder that this model was presented back in 2010-2011! Personally, I think it looks absolutely amazing for a 12-13 year old design. VW is one of the best to keep their interiors look fresh even after a decade or more

[@marcokrueger3399]

I once let my friend borrow my car when his grandfather from Russia visited. It's a 2005 Golf MK5, car was about 14 years old back then. He asked if it was a new vehicle.

[@denistahirovic7064]

@marcokrueger3399 I'm not surprised! mk5 and passat b6 are perfect examples of what a long-lasting design means. It is still very much adequate and fresh, considering those are stunning 20 years old interiors.

[@georgepoulos1592]

because they are the same😂

[@chriskonte1909]

@@marcokrueger3399 Yeah I do think so too. I personally think that Volkwagens is a polarising company especially here in Germany. You either see a lot of tuners loving their VW or you have the ones that hate them because of the amount of similar locking vehicles. And I think you also either hate or like VWs if you're looking for specific qualities in a car: Their interior design ages veeery well I totally agree. Quality itself can be good or bad depending on the model and year. Golf mk4- mk5 times and softtouchplastic early to mid-late 2000's was a phase that is stuck in everyones head here. But then I saw GM vehicles of that time and knew why GM is such an unpopular brand over here (I'm talking specifically about Chevy, Cadillac and GMC. Their gas engines are either reliable or questionable.. if you got a timing belt you're most likely safe, if you have a timing chain then you will experience problems.. with diesels it's always the same go for a 2.0 TDI if you can and you're a happy man, go for a 3.0 TDI and you have a powerful, awesome engine as long as you don't have a timing chain problem early models suffer specifically. So change the oil regularly and pray because if one of these goes bad that's an expensive job. Overall fit and finish is good if you're looking at european designed cars Touareg, Tiguan, Golf, older Jettas, Phaeton. But U.S. models like a Passat (NMS) or Atlas do feel a little cheaper in every term.

[@marcokrueger3399]

@@chriskonte1909 You summed that up pretty well! There will always be fans and always be haters. Most of the not-fans will say VW is boring, etc. and prefer japanese vehicles for expample which often times (e.g. Toyota Yaris or Prius) are ugly af in my opinion. Another argument I have to read is that VWs are soooo unreliable because the workshops are full of them. I mean, no surprise if your market share is above 35% (with all the sub brands). Of course if you have some issues, they're gonna be huge in scale. My MK5 Golf had the soft touch issues, but only on parts that can easily and rather cheaply be replaced. Doorhandles, lightswitch, radio (wanted to change that anyway) and the switches for the window lift. All in all would be less than 200€ (apart from the radio which I bought off of ebay for 50€), so that's a rather cheap fix. We have another 2009 model which doesn't have any of these issues. Imo, the MK4 did look old pretty fast but the MK5 interior can hold up pretty well even compared to modern cars. The timing chains are a real issue (sometimes it's just the chain tensioner), our second car had that at about 160-170.000 km. We got it fixed as soon as it made trouble, but apart from that it's a really solid vehicle, no major issues. I think often times it really comes down to how people treat their car: A neglected vehicle won't last as long, but owners will always be complaining. Expectations are just soo much higher nowadays. VW also had times with real quality issues. Early 90s, start of the golf MK3, Mr. Lopez tried to cut costs and ruined build quality. Same, but not as much with Herbert Diess who was manager until last year. New management has announced they will improve build quality. Martin Winterkorn was the real master of that. I think one real strength of VW is safety, like with the suspension design. They don't build boring cars, but they're really safe for everyone to drive, always a little understeer. That's just the best design for mass production vehicles imo. (Also, if you haven't guessed it already, I'm German, too. Grüße! ;) )

Have always found VW interiors to be much less dated over the years due to their clean and “simple” as you claim to look. Which is why this relatively older car looks so fresh even now. Touaregs were amazing though admittedly over engineered and costly due to their level of refinement and high quality.

As someone who just had someone total their 2015 Jetta and recently bought a brand new 23 Elentra, I can tell you that VW’s simplicity and sleek style is unmatched. They’re not only very affordable vehicles but the manufactures think of literally everything compared to any other brand.

[@marcokrueger3399]

Imo, VWs are just really really solid vehicles. Not like that fun sportscar, but extremely practical, good build quality and safe to drive for all people whilst not being unsporty in any way (not a sports car of course).

I love the look of the Touareg, it looks timeless compared to other SUVs of the same era, if you compare the interior / exterior to the BMW X3 of the same age etc, the VW still looks fresh now :)

[@zanesutherland406]

That’s one of the reasons I love VWs is a good looking classic and comfortable interior. It looks nice and not all over the place with crazy angles etc. It is timeless. Even looking at old ones they feel current. I have a ‘97 VW Passat TDI and the interior still looks great, and everything is very ergonomic and easy to use and read.

[@citibear57]

Looks great, Mitch! I must say, Volkswagens have that German quality, and it really shows here. This is a 2013 Touareg, but after you were done with it, it looks like it could be a much newer model. Nice job 👍

I’m kind of surprised that you didn’t put a lift in when building the studio to make it easier to wash the wheelwells and undercarriage (could also remove the wheels to make them even easier to get perfectly clean). Any plans to add a lift in the future? As an old guy with a bad back and knees it would be the best part of my dream detailing studio 😂

[@ammarisrar2005]

Yeah I was surprised too, it in my opinion doesn’t make sense to have a big studio and not have a lift

[@jamesarmitage8399]

Agreed, would have made more sense to incorporate it in the designs, but never removes the wheels which is kind of half a job!!

[@nathansautodetail]

I like the simplicity of the interior honestly. Everyone else is doing these complicated designs and I just want something simple. I'm considering getting a 2019 VW Golf wagon in a couple years when I decide to retire my 2009 Volvo V50 wagon. Granted it's partially because it's the most affordable modern wagon in the US because most wagons are luxury cars here, but I also like the simplicity of it.

[@Cytogrrl]

I’ve owned 3 VWs since 2000. I had 2000 Golf for 14 years ( bought it in 1999 )A Jetta for 5 and now own a 2018 Tiguan. I moved out of the Jetta because my son had 3 kids and I needed room for 3 car seats. I actually really like their utilitarian interiors. They are simple and haven’t changed much since 2000. I guess it’s a personal choice 😊🚙

[@ammarisrar2005]

Completely agree with you I have seen many old VWs that are absolute tanks, and I really want a MK3 or MK4 golf as my first vehicle

I've always had a fascination with diesel VWs and recently got a MK7 TDI Golf, which has been nothing short of fantastic. I love how it drives, looks, and the interior is nice and comfy. It's my first diesel so that's been interesting but the torque is plenty and comparable to a stock GTI I believe. Loses steam past 3k unlike a GTI but that's just how it is lol. Hoping this car lasts me like 10 years plus, depending on how the emissions equipment stuff is out of warranty. Also, my MK7 has those dreaded carpeted fender liners in the rear lol. Not in the front though, which is interesting. Definitely been cleaning it often though in this midwest salt.

A little fun fact about the Touareg (For the U.S. at least). It was discontinued in 2017 because people couldn't believe how much they were. They were basically a slightly bigger version of the Atlas but costed an average of $10k-$15k more than a fully loaded Atlas. They are still produced and sold in European countries like Germany. Anyways, that was an awesome transformation as always Mitch! Those black wheels look awesome on a pearl white 😎

[@marcokrueger3399]

Just to add: We never had the Atlas over here in Europe. For us it was always the Touareg (the big one) or the Tiguan (that's based on the platform of the VW Golf). Fun fact: The VW Jetta isn't nearly as popular in Europe than it is in the US. I think there even was a model that was based on an older platform, they just added the design of the Golf MK5 and bigger engines to meet the needs of the Northern American market. The only model that's completely similar in this regard is the VW Jetta Sportswagon, known in Europe as VW Golf Variant.

Judging by the amount of masks she has in her car she more than likely works in the medical field, so not weird at all Oh and also we are still very much in a global pandemic even though people seem to forget that lol

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I know you've explained the two bucket method before, but I didn't recall what was in the rinse bucket and was kind of wondering the other day, so thanks for including that in this one 👍

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

And about the interior being basic, I'd rather have better materials and an easier time cleaning (which a more simplistic design also helps) then fancy over-the-top styling with a bunch of curves and what-not which is a pain to clean made of cheap materials..

[@michaelaustin5411]

Awesome job Mitch and love the guitar intro by the way

[@bensullivan420]

anyone who likes their Volkswagen has not owned it more than 2 years

[@victornafwa2471]

They are money pits

[@marshprofessionaldetailing9794]

Really nice result on this VW. Well done!

[@karenturner7983]

Thanks for sharing. Awesome as always.

[@spatulaman2753]

I thunk that generation Toureg was one of the best looking missive SUV’s and the TDI was a beast (minus the whole dieselgate issue of course).

[@magdalenapichler4182]

I still have a dieselgate car after a software update it's still running. Try not to sell it! Drive it to its final day!

[@karanbedi5818]

Love the POV shots

[@jmflores1970]

Awesome video! I love watching how much care you put into cleaning up cars in your videos. I now own a 2013 VW Passat, and one reason I loved it is that the interior is very simple and flat. Before that, my 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix's dash was the opposite with a lot going on in the design, or as a car magazine said once "cheap overdone plastic interior". LOL! I didn't mind paying as much as I did for my Passat because I still love it. I just need to wash it. :)

[@WilliePeck]

I've got a 2019 Jetta and I've got to say while yes the interior (and exterior) design are a lot less flashy and more laid back than other cars they executed it very well. It still feels current and modern almost 4 years later. VWs are also just built better all around. Everything just feels like it's going to last.

[@jaeykelly4739]

Either wish you had a workshop in the UK or I lived in Canada, would love to have my cars maintained to such a great standard, just like we see in all your episodes. Keep up the awesome work! :)

[@jamesarmitage8399]

Search "White Details" UK based & easily one of the best detailers there is! Anywhere!!!

[@AFmotorsport]

Nice video Bro!!!!

[@noelreynolds3081]

I am addicted to your videos. You are incredible!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PhilJohn1980]

Galvanised body panels help with there not being rust - it's striking that this VW is almost 10 years old, and US brands you've detailed of a similar age already have a ton of rust.

[@alphawolf5666]

Good job as usual 😎👍

[@jenniferwilkerson9827]

Yes!!! Happy Friday from Missouri 🙃

[@aliciaperry8413]

Just got a 2021 Tiguan and the dash has greatly improved. There are loads of features and the main panel is now all digital.

[@safaa9654]

I like hearing you talk about the car or anything, while you're cleaning!

[@reginagurganus3064]

What a great job and if I loved this car, interior and all. My Aunt has a Tiguan and it's not as big as the Tourag it's still pretty sturdy. I would drive one for sure. Thank you for the beautiful reveal! 😉

I love watching the clean of wheel well when it’s not in slo-mo

[@Swaggs907]

I live in Alaska and I could make a case for worst places to own a car. We don’t use salt on the roads cause it’s bad for the wildlife so we use sand and gravel which is great for paint and windshields!

[@trigon.6296]

It would be very cool if you can show budget tools/gadgets/ways to clean/detail the own car! :D really really appreciate your work, something about you and your work is really pleasant to look at! :D

[@bokkebokke7]

Just the noises associated with cleaning the exterior and interior is very calming.

[@HxTurtle]

5:40 I quite like it when we get to hear the "natural" sound. 👍

[@joshuangoje9363]

Great one Mitich, when will you do a Day in the life video?

[@killergnomestar]

Norwegian National Guard uses the 2017 model VW Amarok as their utility vehicle. I have one myself that i use in service. I find it really easy to clean and keep in shape. But that's just me personally.

[@rickburt7055]

Would love to see an in depth video detailing how you clean all the windows in a vehicle. That is one part of detailing my vehicle that I really dislike, probably because I really suck at it. Thanks Mitch.

[@awarta1]

You can see the crazy amount of muck wash up from the undercarriage. Would love to see you install a car lift in the future to really tackle those undercarriages. Good work with this one as usual 👍🏻

[@vocadiamonds9151]

I had Ford cars a long time and i loved them. But as I came back to VW, its like coming home to a german guy like me. There are no big emotions, but safe and well built cars which are the goldstandard in western Europe. Now in times of high fuel prices its good to have a car with a good mpg, too.

[@revthom1238]

You do a fabulous job!!

[@tammywebb7521]

Thanks for explaining some of your work. I always can pick up some good tips from you :-)

[@kevinemini3867]

good job mate, keep going.!👌

[@yowvil]

I've owned both Mercedes and VWs. Never had any rust issues with either brand. They have better rust protection than most.

[@fatimapalacios2292]

Finally a well kept interior! I knew not everyone would be disrespecting their cars like that. Nice video

[@themegjake4000]

I personally love my 2018 GTI interior. It’s got everything id want, heated seats, heated mirrors, a decent sound system, loads of cargo space. And without feeling too overdone or posh like how Mercedes’ interiors are imo. Just a nice place to be

[@pizzapete9203]

Amazing CLEAN & SHINE DG 💯🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@bigque1988]

Couldn’t wait for this to drop

[@DoomerDan]

Great can’t wait to detail my “new to me” VW Golf! Definitely have my work cut out for me!

[@joshualubbers4917]

I don’t know if it’s been addressed in previous videos, but in the handful I’ve seen you don’t touch the roof. What is your process for those really tall trucks and vehicles?

[@sterlingstauffer2915]

I have found out in my limited experience as a detailer that when black dirt comes out of the trim on a vehicle while you're spraying it, that's a sure sign it hasn't been cleaned in years.

[@icyace511]

Hi detail geek love your videos but I have one tip if you don’t mind doing so basically you know when you wash the carpet wheel liners in 2:52show the mud like when you power wash it show some clips of it as well because it’s satisfying as well. Thank you

[@tadpoled]

I nearly bought a Touareg! I ended up getting a late model Subaru Outback which was the best decision for me. Hauling mountain bikes, camping gear etc. No doubt the VW is a good car too but I found the Outback more spacious.
