Owner REACTS To INSANE Detailing Transformation! No Way Thats My CAR!

[@StaufferGarage]

If you are in the Columbus area, email me for a detail or restoration! Happy to help you out! O-H

[@sums6969]

Are you seriously based in Columbus Ohio? Would love to have one of my cars professionally detailed by you

[@jamesr8349]

Emailed you!

[@CampsitePyro]

Question-what do the Mint cleansers in your shown in yourshop smell like? I assume mint, but it doesn’t say that in the description. Thanks!

[@StaufferGarage]

Yes I am!

[@xMrsmileyfacex]

I-O

[@altarwork]

Man that’s wild. Bet this was an expensive job but, can tell you earned every penny.

[@USERNAME1-x5u]

Blunt wraps, drill heads and fireball shooters. I can tell this owner likes to party on the go!

[@bearfamilycanna]

Love seeing an Si restoration! Just did all of this myself within the last year or so on my 2008. Sidenote: was surprised you weren't using a rubber mat with holes when pressure washing the carpets to keep dirt off the back. I picked a small square up from Home Depot a while ago and it works wonders - primarily for doing wheels. Think they call it an anti-fatigue mat.

[@accordxtc319]

Insane transformation. I have a feeling now that you've cleaned it, the owner will swap out a couple parts to restore it back to it's former look

[@StaufferGarage]

That’s what he was saying, makes me happy that’s the case

[@accordxtc319]

@@StaufferGarage Most definitely, I've always liked this styling of the SI.

[@mavricxx]

Highly doubt it, once nasty, always nasty. If they weren't taught by their parents as kids forget it. I can see this car goi G to shit in a couple months again.

[@truthmatters2020]

You are by far the best detailer I've seen so far. You are amazing!!!

[@alishaikh2292]

The civic was like a hoarder car, but after deep cleaning the car it looks 1000x better. You’re the best. I want to give you a tip: you can use brush attachment on steamer and APC for extra deep cleaning power.

[@StaufferGarage]

Yes! I need to get a new steamer. Downside to mine is the proprietary head and they don't sell just attachments!

[@alishaikh2292]

You can check out McCulloch Steamer.

[@Apollyon9966]

The moment I saw the game boy I knew I had to see the whole thing hahaha

[@linnsoltwedel]

How can people be so disgusting? I don't have the cleanest car, but its not filled with trash, and if I spill something, I clean it.

[@Pr0fess0rConner-j8l]

My guess is they keep adding trash overtime too it and say. I'll clean it out tomorrow, I'll clean it out tomorrow, and then it just never gets done. I don't do this with car cleaning but when I see dishes I'm like maybe tomorrow maybe tomorrow and it just adds up but I eventually clean those too 😂

[@nicholasskridla2475]

Exactly. It isn't difficult. Example: you run through drive through. You get a bag and soda. You take the wrapper off straw and put in the bag. You throw the paper wrapper from sandwich in bag. When you get to destination you take cup and bag to garbage can. It is that easy. Stop being lazy people. Life does NOT have to be that difficult. Regardless of what you may be going through, and I have gone through some serious shit. Yet I didn't make excuses....

[@mathewparrett]

and he was talking about himself the whole time lmao

im lazy as fck to do cleaning but i dont let junk pile up like this.

You’re like the Serv-Pro for automobiles 😂😂

[@Pr0fess0rConner-j8l]

This is a crazy transformation 🙌! Impressive work. It must have taken a good bit of time. I think some people don't realize the amount of time put in to detail a car. But if I never detailed a car before I wouldn't know either😅

[@longislandcerealkiller6385]

Got to say this is one of the best videos I've seen you do and I watch every week

[@StaufferGarage]

Appreciate that. Tried to pull out the stops

Dang Stauffer!! Woot woot

[@pvandewyngaerde]

Bug escapes at the bottom 26:30

[@santiagopetrungaro]

I'd be so ashamed if I showed up to a car detailer without having the decency of throwing away the rotting food first! Shameful, not only disgusting.

[@My-kh3ru]

Insane video way to kill it stauffer! Love your channel been following since the start man!

[@courtneygraham1905]

I love watching your videos, they are hypnotic, and I watch one to motivate me befor detailing my own car. One tip I don't know if you use, you can use an ozone generator with the heat going in your car for about 30 min, then turn off the car and let the ozone generator run for a couple hours to remove smoker's smell and disinfect the car, cloth, and carpets.

[@BrettS02]

Nice video, happy Sunday!

[@mandarjoshi5713]

As someone with OCD, looking at all this trash makes me so excited. It just makes the video more fun.

[@MasrSR]

I look at people's cars like this and wonder how it could get so bad but about 8 years ago I was in a deep depression I didn't have a vehicle at the time but even my room I couldn't manage to keep clean . It gets better everyone 💯💯💯

[@Detailguy101]

As a detailer, this guy is really good!!!!

[@angelzambrano9773]

It hurts to see one of my favorite cars as dirty as this. Disgusting. I'm speechless. Fortunately, now it looks better by far.

[@StaufferGarage]

It is so much fun to drive! Especially clean lol

[@mazda_rt24-p]

ok

[@briankdaniels]

It's a good thing this interior was black. It amazes me how on the surface it looks fairly clean but when you run the extrator over it and you see the nasty colored water being sucked up. A video of a car you did a while back had light colored seats but when you hit it with the extractor this nasty orange stuff was getting sucked up.

[@blobguy8865]

This is perfect. I got a '06 Si coupe recently and was wondering how to clean certain parts. Very much appreciated my dude🤙

[@StaufferGarage]

Glad I could help

[@dannifulker7494]

Another good job James!

[@joe.olivet]

The garage makeover looks good.

Appreciate it Joe! Long overdue

I wonder what their house looks like inside 😮.

[@ScrappersDetailing]

Great job as always!

[@alpha2turbo]

I've never understood why people can't buy $40 floor mats to protect the carpet. I see so many people's driver side carpet worn completely through. Crazy.

[@frankgrote7074]

When I see cars like this, I always think what your home looks like. How can you lose control over your life like that?

[@ghostchokersmith7070]

It's crazy that you do this for free!!!

[@dnegel9546]

he does???? wtf...

[@stephenhood2948]

Running your AC creates a lot of moisture in your HVAC system, it can cause problems for people with allergies and create a tremendous odor. They make disinfectant kits you can pour through your defrost grill that will kill the mold/bacteria and leave a really nice scent in its place. We started selling that service as an add on to HVAC service at my last job. Really nice for smokers. If you smoke in your car always run the HVAC on fresh air intake, not recirculate. All that smoke will get in your HVAC system and leave terrible odors when you turn on your heat/AC, but if you smoke in your car, like I do, you have probably already come to terms with the smoke smell. I have to clean the inside of my windshield weekly to keep all the smoke residue off it. My last car was a really nice Grand Am GT. The windshield had gotten so bad with smoke residue that it caused the sun to glare off it and I smashed into a parked car before I could get the visor flipped down. Smoking in your car is really bad, but the inside of your car is nothing compared to the inside of your body. Bad habit all around.

[@StephenBrewer89]

I would hate to see the owners house. Holy crap.

[@rsscott5672]

Great job on saving this car. The steam won't disinfect anything beyond the point of the nozzle though. Anything after a couple of inches and it's just barely hot

[@stans5270]

You have a ladder that folds low. Try putting the carpet on the ladder when it's low, and THEN raise it higher. It should be much easier to handle.

[@pexah869]

You are so thorough you deserve all the money you make.

[@brandoncain7699]

to anyone wondering how a car can get so bad. The car had sat since 2019 never was driven like that a bunch of junk was thrown into it between an car was never touched again had a heart break with it had owned the car with an ex of mine who i was with for 9 years, new car new memories to be made. Thank you again @stauffer garage

In all honesty, a smoker doesn't really CARE about where the butts go. I know due to smoking for 30 years, 6 months and 10 days. Been smoke free for just over 6 months now. I LOVE how clean my vehicles smell and look.

On a long gradual journey to fix up a smoker's Pontiac Firebird in really similar shape except plus a t-top leak for who knows how long. Vacuumed, dries and Ozone Generator'd it after a vacuum just to make it inhabitable to work on. Still watching but hoping to see how to get the tar stains out of the plastics.

Yay top 3 likes and second comment. Love this channel. Best to you and your family. Happy Sunday

[@surgedtwice]

Damn good job 👏

[@F.S92]

If your car looks like this, my man you need some 1 on 1 time with a psychiatrist. Same how people can call on child services if they suspect parents drop the ball. Same should be for detailers who can report such owners to some “get mental health hotline” Whoever lets their car go this bad is clearly fighting some demons.

[@shawnstandiford7207]

Saw a semi post that had to be cleaned out. 23 yard trashbags full of trash.

[@AnthonySantiago]

Nice work. Regarding the trash, I'm curious if you sort it out for the customer like car parts? or you just trash everything since it was sitting for so long.

[@pittypat1607]

It’s amazing how Honda got away with garbage paint and a steering wheel that degraded over a year or two. When these civics were 8 years old they looked more like 20.

[@danny051964]

How can you drive like that? How can you not be embarrassed if someone sees your car like that? What if you need to give someone a ride?? DISGUSTING!!

At least it's something that's no ones fault. This is the bottom of the barrell!!

[@gjb3181]

Magic erasers with APC for plastics and the steer wheel will change ur life, takes about 1/2 time of steam or detail brush. Super-cheap, 100 on Amazon for the $25.

[@StaufferGarage]

I’ll give that a shot! Thanks for the tip

[@chrispyfc3]

Gotta remember that magic erasers are basically fine sandpaper, and will damage leather if not careful. I’d stick to an autofiber scrub ninja for leather and most interior panels and only use the magic eraser softly as a last resort

[@gjb3181]

@@chrispyfc3 that is why i use them with an APC, its like wet sanding, i have never had any damage to interior plastics, ever. Its pretty safe as long as u don’t scrub like a lunatic and keep the surface somewhat wet. I will have to try your suggestion to compare the results.

[@markvillafranco]

You did an amazing job on the car! But I don't think you should have done that dude's car. Anybody that trashes their vehicle like that is only looking for somebody like yourself with great talent and a free detail. Help somebody that's truly in need of your skills.

[@dnegel9546]

its probably already back to how it was before the detail.

[@uhsul]

Is there any particular reason you havent been using a steamer in recent cleaning you've done?

[@hamelengine11]

When you blow in the heat/ac vents do you have the car running or with it still off? Just curios if moisture would make it to the cabin air filter.

[@colinwarby1597]

Generally should take filter out first for that exact reason. Good pick up

[@stoveguy2133]

Wheel spacers? Had some odd offset rims I reckon

[@XQUZIITE]

Hey great video man .. much love from the Caribbean Islands.. gotta question for you ... how long does this restoration process take... do you do this in 1 day or have the vehicle for a alloted amount of time to get all tasks done nevertheless this was a mind blowing video great stuff man hopefully I get a reply back thanks

[@armourandre7]

In need of advice. I’ll start by saying I have no garage access and have to park my car on the street. The birds on the power lines destroys my car. The neighbors feed stray cats and the birds eat the cat food and poop on my car. Even after a car wash, I am unable to get the stains off. Please point me in the right direction.

[@mikey_atl]

Clay bar.

[@Zag328]

Unfortunately bird poop will etch the clear coat, same with bug guts. Most likely need to cut/polish the clear and seal with ceramic or graphene.

[@john_barnett]

Sounds like you need a cat trap. Stop the problem at its source!

[@ownalshebli9660]

Do detailers share the same background music? lol 😂😂😂 Great job though, well done! But why didn’t steam the body underneath the carpet? … it helps with disinfection you know and helps removing more smells of the car

[@john_barnett]

youtubers share the same background music cause it's free and they won't get done for copyright

[@endl3sdrmzz]

It'll prob get trashed again. Habits are hard to change.
