Pontiac Aztek DISASTER Detail Interior REMOVAL And Pressure Washing

Really enjoying the Aztec content. I've gone from hating this thing to actually caring about it getting sorted out. Definatly the best colour it could have come in.

It’s an interesting vehicle ahead of its time , I have always kinda liked it even when it was new. It is just different and was refreshing to something different

Ah, yes. Aztek archaeology.

Use a fabric Color dye on the carpet when dry. I’ve seen amazing results just spray on and brush it around and let dry, then vacuum so it isn’t stiff at will look new or very close to it

Good to see Gabe in this episode! The family banter is always the best!

[@HerrIMorke]

As an avid watcher of other car channels like The Detail Geek, Ammo NYC and Sarah'N'Tuned, I am fighting every instinct to pull every single part of that car apart and drown it in cleaner and sanitiser.

[@_Wiseguy7]

As someone who also watches Sarah's channel, if this was one of her cars, I'd wager the whole car would've been in pieces to cleaned within a week.

[@BradColemanisHere]

Me too. I was also hoping maybe they'd throw on some masks. :|

[@changeyourenergy708]

Right!!

[@glassvial]

@@dingleberries360 the mask comment was more for the fact that they were kicking up so much dirt and dust from this disgusting vehicle, and I agree, it was nasty!

Holy cow this thing is absolutely filthy. Something therapeutic about seeing something so dirty and beat upon get cleaned up and a new lease on life. Keep the good stuff coming!

[@aelaan12]

Why am I watching this during breakfast, why!!!! I just threw up in my mouth.... what a start to a day.

[@PaddyBoy644]

Well done JR you’ve truly saved that car from the crusher!👍🏻👌🏻

[@michaelwelschmidt9338]

I disassembled my new to me 18 year old truck’s interior seats down to the metal to wash the cushions and covers to remove the years of dirt, sand, and dust because steam cleaning them just brought mud to the surface. Reassembled with hog ring pliers. They truly look and smell new.

[@HiggsBJ]

I got to thank you for this type of content. It’s your videos like this that convinced me I could take apart my car, diagnose the water leak, fix it and put it all back together!

[@michaelhuey4187]

JR, I am LOVING the Aztec content❣️ You just don’t see these anymore. Keep bringing this one back👍👍

[@cadman10000]

Nasty interior transformations are one of my favorite things to watch.

[@markkelley8559]

Test drove pretty much the exact same car back in 2004. Something about it made me a bit hesitant.... Waited till the next year and bought a new 2005 Honda Element ! Very happy with it, still my daily driver .... And I never have to worry about "Stained carpets".... ! LOVE the Aztec BLUE color.

[@roxieloot]

Have no idea why, but can not wait to see this all cleaned and put back together. Going to look like a totally different car once you have finished. Respect to you, for the time & effort put into this car, when most people would have just got rid of it as junk/srcap.

[@gmag1969]

Man you could start your own mini farm with all the dirt you're pulling out of that thing. Looking good man. Can't wait to see it done.

[@sproully]

Watching while eating breakfast. I threw up a little in my mouth with the arm gunk! Way to go JR for bringing this back from the grave. It looks like the tried to burying it already.

[@69Dartman]

That was fun. I worked at a detail place for a short period. Lost the transmission to my car just before I walked away so cost me more than I made in that short period but I got to drive stupid in a bunch of early S10 pickups and they would bury the speedo and launch pretty good if you kept the revs up on that tiny v6. That air conditioning machine is a real good score. Very useful for the large fleet you have and family and friends. I finally got a 4 way AC quage set because everything we own now has air.

John Ross I would love to leave my Acura TL with you and let you work your magic on her. I think you are just as skilled as the Wizard and Car Ninja. Keep posting

[@daandriod]

Like a lot of others are saying. I'd really recommend dying the carpet. Black would be an excellent choice and would look great with the rest of the interior. Its a super cheap thing to do that will make the carpet looks brand new, And you've already got it pulled out of the car already so all the hard work is done. After the dye dries, borrow a drillbrush from the detail guys and give the entire piece of carpet a dry pass or two and it will soften the carpet back to where you won't even be able to tell by touch

[@OltonHall]

I'm loving the subtle references to other KZbinrs this week.

[@Bicketybam68]

To remove the stains in the carpet, you could probably just dye the carpet.

[@philgrimsey3637]

Second this. Get them free from loose dirt then dye/paint them

[@trvman1]

Some times it works, pour rust/calcium remover on the rug, let it sit, then take a brush to it. You might have to do it a couple/few times but I have had it remove the rust stains from carpets. Had some rust get on a white t-shirt. Soaked it in bleach and it did nothing. Soaked in rust remover and it was gone.

[@McGruff2008]

Sweep your skid pad and you can probably fill some low spots on your landscape.

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

The Aztek is oddly cool. Poor thing was a complete disaster I don't understand how people could let thier vehicle get that way.

[@Cedrickr]

I've honestly always liked the Aztek, for which I was ridiculed multiple times

[@larrybe2900]

It's easy.

[@firesurfer]

Just go off road.

[@handyhusband113]

Gabe always has the best t-shirts. Also, those pop-out seats were in all the old GM minivans. I remember the same ones in the ol' family 1992 Chevy Lumina APV.

[@Falasi4]

We bought a 2001 Aztek brand new and it was our main family vehicle until 2019 with almost 250k on it. Never got anywhere close to that dirty but it was amazing how durable and cleanable everything was. Still miss it since it was the handiest vehicle I've ever had and got about 25mpg on cross country road trips loaded with everything and bikes on the hitch rack. Quick lumber runs were great since the tailgate could stay down separate for longer stuff and 4x8 stuff was no problem.

[@larrybe2900]

4x8 (width) fit? Wow

[@Falasi4]

@@larrybe2900 Yes - if I had a lot of lumber/cargo I'd just unclip the backseats and leave them home. I hauled our entire kitchen cabinet set home in one trip with the back seats out. 10' long metal roof sheets stuck out enough I used a flag.

[@mikemichaud5578]

I love your videos I watch every single one of them. What I like about you you’re not like some of the other KZbinrs that think they’re better than everybody else and that their channel is the best or whatever you just show us good content you’re a honest man. And the people you have help you on your jobs they’re awesome people also you guys have a great chemistry. Again great videos keep up the great work

[@anomamos9095]

Tip Get a garden sprayer fit the nozzle to a small dish brush or toilet brush and spray as you scrub towards a wet and dry shop vacuum cleaner . That will shift the bulk of the grunge without drowning every thing in mud.

[@chrisrobles2012]

Damn that tail light dirt . Reminds me of mud dobber’s nest.

Watching you pull out that carpet has inspired me to pull out the carpet on the Lowrider. Here we go ! Also, “I’ve got the black lung, Pop!” Hilarious!

[@joshthomson1935]

I’ve used the pressure washer and a couple of cans of degreaser to clean an interior. Have to take seats out, pressure wash all the fabric. Works a charm.

[@soulprovidermusic5647]

Of all the Azteks ever made, you managed to buy the only one with the Black-Lung trim package. I'm impressed...

[@SIXPACFISH]

Washing the carpet you said "it's coming out" and coming out, and coming out, and coming out, and........ But you wouldn't have got'er done if it weren't fer, Git Er Done Gabe! Gabe is the MAN! But if Gabe doesn't show for the other 2-4 days of cleaning. I don't blame him one bit. This job goes above and beyond the bonds of friendship.

[@rpmrallysport7071]

Have been waiting so long for this - did not disappoint. WOW thats dirty.

[@Dakiraun]

Gabe's shirt! Looks like he went caving with all the dirt that was in that car. That is INSANE. It's incredible how much dirt got in behind and under stuff in that thing. What's crazy is thinking about the sheer weight of it all - like 10 to 20lbs, maybe more, of just dirt coming out by the time it's done.

[@helo1bob1]

Years ago I worked at a body shop while in high school. There was an old man who did bodywork. He made his own body tools. Anyway, he taught me how to clean the inside of the car carpets and headliner. When you shampoo the carpet and roof liner was use Rite dye a little darker than the original color of carpet. And it will hide the stains.

[@ross7906]

You should be wearing a N95 or K94 Mask and gloves for this job. The white fuzzy "dust" is white mold, which loves humidity. A few scattered Rice pillows will keep this from forming. A GABE CAMEO - Excellent!

[@johnasbury7511]

My Dad had a 1978 D150 that he bought used he ran it up to 385000 and never once washed or cleaned it. He said he was doing an experiment.(lol) now mind you he was a contractor . His truck was not as bad as this Aztec... Oh he never changed the oil either he said it was self changing .... One tough Truck

I'm amazed that there isn't any rust. You wold think that all that dirt would hold moisture. They must not put salt on the roads in his part of Missouri.(they sure do in mine) I like the Aztec because they have Toyota running gear. I know that 35 mpg isn't out of the question for these also. Everyone I ever talked to about these cars really liked them. I think these and the Scion xB are under rated vehicles.

[@billkrause4585]

I was thinking of selling my 02' Ford Ranger 4X4 with 174,000 miles (20 yo truck bought new), but its interior's carpet and seats look brand new as well as the exterior, and the truck still runs smooth and doesn't burn oil. It does leak some oil where I park, but I never had to add oil. I'm retired and only drive 3000 miles each year, but I'd like to own one of those 2022 Ford Maverick AWD Pickups just to get me around where I need to go.
