Start playing Fishing Clash for free on your iOS/Android device by downloading it via my link fishingclash.link/DetailGeek. Use my promo code FISHWITHMITCH to get an awesome starter pack (available for new players only). What a crazy transformation! It’s looking BRAND NEW again!! Have a great weekend guys!

[@Jennifer_MB]

This game looks fun! I would download right now but I have to go make sure I cut the top strip off of my rubber floor mats first. I thought I did but you have me questioning myself 🤣 EDIT: Okay I downloaded, used the code under the Gift Codes Section in the menu, got my freebies and caught a Nosy Shark lol this is great!

[@joelbuchanan471]

I just caught a shark on the fishing game. It is pretty intuitive. Even for a beginning player, you can still get some rewards. I'll be back after I help @Jennifer MB cut the ends off her new floor mats. LOL

Mitch I was car shopping this weekend and my husband and the salesman were looking at me like a psycho b/c I was getting on the floor and examining the quality of the carpet pile to decide if it would be easy to keep clean 🤩😁😁

[@michellem134]

😅 I love this! I'm probably going to do the same now thanks to DG.

[@KH-pj5nr]

Same when it comes time to get a new vehicle. I like my vehicle but the carpet gets on my nerves when trying to clean it.

[@daunv1965]

I’ve literally learned everything about detailing from watching this guy and have began to start my own business. I was lucky enough that my dad has a facility with a wash bay and a brand new hotsy. It has a big enough overhead door to fit combines and tractors which will be a a big part of the business during harvest/planting season. Basically just had to buy my own products and the steamer and carpet and upholstery cleaner and detail brushes and shit. So, thanks dude

Fantastic job as always. No matter what the job is, you will attack it full force. Comes out amazing. Love watching your show. Detail Geek is the man. All the way from Alabama.🖐️🖐️🖐️

Finally I see you clean the roof of these cars lol. I'm sure you had because of your other work but Finally seeing that was rewarding. Maybe include truck beds too?

[@KaylaGranland]

That was my thoughts exactly!

[@casper14301]

After a week of work it's so relaxing to take a cup of coffee and watch your newest video. 🤠👍🏼

[@joelbuchanan471]

The Rav4 seems to be a pretty nice small SUV once cleaned up. That RED is beautiful, and you made it glossy and shiny again. 8 floor mats, wow, that's a lot of coverage. One on top of the other I suppose for bad weather. The sock question was one I appreciated. I can understand not wanting to track more dirt in the car after cleaning up the carpets. There was a lot of gross water in that bucket. FISHWITHMITCH, the fishing game sounds like a good relaxing time after a tough 11 hour day of cleaning up a car. Thanks for this video and have a great weekend Mitch!!! I appreciate all that you do for us. Bring back Please! I miss that goofball.

[@timehunter9467]

They’re a good all rounder, and great on muddy tracks because of the 4wd. It’s big brother (land cruiser) is good too.

[@regcotterill7332]

I'd be dead chuffed if this was my car. So many good bits about it. The seats and carpets came up really well. The mats did their job at protecting the carpet. You did a great job Mitch. Very satisfying to watch.

[@johncraft8175]

The exterior, wow. The interior stains, omg. Another stunning transformation by DG.

[@leonardo3011]

It's amazing how you made this car look like new again! The amount of dirty water extracted from the seats and carpet was frightening (and disgusting)

[@stupid8911]

That's a good-looking RAV4, good work!

[@grayhounddaddy62leake83]

I'm always amazed at the transformations of the vehicles when you finish with them! No matter how bad they've been treated, you always bring them back to brand new!!!

[@jamesazahn6842]

Wow, for a 2010 it's beautiful; I just wish they would have you do the engine compartment to finish it off. "Great job"!

[@thatblackkid22]

7:06 Wait a minute you're telling me that floor mat was actually GRAY? I NEVER would've guessed

[@victoriaahsan2127]

YAYY finally a Toyota again lol. also question 🙋‍♀️, how long does it usually take for the seats to dry up when your extracting them?

[@Coolkidlyrics1416]

He did mention before in Q and A, that he will leave the cars windows and all doors open, to let it dry faster. I would say a few hours

[@thatonev6429]

in my experience, 30-40 minutes in direct sunlight on a 85°F day. nice day, not too sunny, more about 2 hours

[@douglasradowick508]

Hey DG, that Rav 4 was a spectacular clean-up! The restoration of the red paint making it "pop" is beyond words!👍 Keep up the great work and continue to grow your business, the finished product speaks for itself without you saying a word of it! Doug⭐🤓

[@ladymechanic94usa28]

I'm not sure if this comment is elsewhere but the second he starts vacuuming, I'm waiting to hear his thoughts on the quality of the carpet :) when looking for a vehicle I want top of the line quality carpet and I trust your opinion Mitch :) keep up the incredible work!

[@kasandragonzalez702]

I look forward to these videos every week. Awesome job Mitch!

[@riceburner4747]

I jst love that color. Appears to be in great shape. Usually those painted wheels start rusting. Great job! 👍

[@dorncornelius]

Wow...this is amazing....I have a RAV4 and I'm amazed af the detail that you give the car especially the seats and carpets. That's the kind of thing I want done for my car. I replaced my mats with weathertech floor liners and cargo liner just for extra protection and they work great

[@alexmilkis3654]

Although dirty, you can clearly tell that it is still a well taken care of RAV4. The interior parts are all intact and not scratches, dash looks brand new and the paint still projecting color richness. This car definitely parks in shade and was never abused. Still an amazing transformation!!

[@bbest8]

WOW! That red popped! Excellent job!

[@boca6418]

Love your work! It's so refreshing seeing a person that pays as close attention to detail as myself. One recommendation for your videos however, I'd love to see the cleaning portion of the driver's side, where you detail the steering wheel and such. Personally, that's one of my favorite and most satisfying areas to detail. Thanks in advance!

[@marybeckham4495]

I'm picking Detail Geek for $200. Best detailer online. As close as one may get, they don't measure up to your work. Just saying. Kudos! Steamer for the home is great cleaning tool and kills germs. 😁

[@TravisCyprien]

Thank You for this upload. This is the one car I been wanting to get except in a 2012 RAV4 with the V6 engine. Mostly I love the 3rd Generation models. It’s hard to find the RAV4’s with the V6 since Toyota Doesn’t make the RAV4 in a V6. But glad you got to do a Detailing on this car.

[@iloveanimalsok]

Compared to the other cars in the past , this one looked easier to clean.

[@timehunter9467]

This turned out brilliant! My dad’s had a couple of these, a ‘95 model and ‘07, the ‘95 drank petrol because of the Celica engine (2L petrol, you could see the needle go down) but we rescued a Land Rover from a muddy ditch with the ‘07 which was hilarious. The rav 4 makes a good workhorse.

[@FPSMurdock]

I looked at several older Rav 4s while vehicle shopping and I must say, this one looks brand new. Like wow!

[@Primus54]

Great transformation, Mitch. Also, I much appreciate your change to different soundtrack music. I was getting PTSD with that old stuff! 😉😂

[@shahnoor6708]

Amazing work on this 2010 RAV4!! I love this model, and after this detail work and if it were for sale, I'd buy it up! Great job.

[@Financial_Awareness]

6:26 - I hear ya about the softer rubber floor mats…I had the same ones (from Walmart) for 6 vehicles…until I got Husky ones for my F-150 and IMO they are way nicer & easier to clean. Great video, Mitch!

When hearing "bird bombs", I knew I was in for another good time! Those carpesy totally fooled me! They looked like velcro! Yet, ypu made quick work of them! The emptying of the "gross bucket" also surprised me. Based on the mud on the garage floor, I fully expected the interiors to be a whole lot worse! Total surprise ending! It really did look like new!
