Power Clean Interior Of SUPER DIRTY 2005 Toyota 4Runner With 236,000 Miles!!

[@westcoastronnieOC714]

A good method to get rid of dust around buttons is using a air compressor along with a spray gun with a small tip. It blows just enough air to clean around those buttons. Been doing it for years.

400 views?!? I guess I’m one of the few who is majorly hyped about the Toyota take over across different non Toyota channels

[@Stevespecs]

Bought a 2004 SR5 4 runner back in 2017, spent an entire weekend cleaning interior and exterior, still driving as my daily, have to admit I did an amazing job and so did you my friend. Enjoy your 4 Runner

[@ED-ti5tc]

You and the wife did a great job! I don't know anything about wraps. Im interested in how the wraps hold up under normal use. Great video!

[@ftwbreeze]

Hello Jimmy. I enjoy watching your channel, caring/improving on old iron is key. One thing I especially enjoyed today was you and your wife cleaning. It doesn't matter how many times you try and explain how, the wife told you to stay in your own lane, she's got this. The only thing we can do when that happens is smile. It is hard to do but it avoids what could be trouble brewing. In the end it turned out very nice. We have a 4Runner, Toyota did well with them, just like the FJ's. Thank you again for the quality content. I could definitely use that steamer, it worked wonders!

I like using the 1 inch wide foam craft paint brushes for getting inside the air vents and nooks and crannies, I just buy them at Walmart in the craft section, a little elbow grease goes along way, great video Jimmy 😁👍

[@MotorVelocity]

If you want to keep the OEM look of the interior of the car I would recommend getting a FM transmitter, Cassette to aux for either wire or Bluetooth. I hope this helps!

[@BigKkelvin57]

Love this video perfectly shows you how to do stuff the hard way

[@branzfactor81]

Wow! I don’t know why it never occurred to me to just use warm water and a microfiber towel. I’ll do this weekly to keep up with my 4Runner.

[@garykirin5150]

I like having the interior of my suburban spotless clean, and also like my glass sparkling. You and the Mrs. Did a great job❤️

What I did to clean the interior of the 2000 Camry LE that my late cousin gave me it was his father's Camry. Unfortunately they were cigar smokers. I bought at Walmart microfiber wash clothes not meant to clean cars with but that's what I bought them for. I had an idea so I bought 2 2 gallon buckets. I filled the 2 buckets with hot water. On the vinyl parts of the Camry I washed the vinyl just from the front sits to the dashboard it turned the water in the buckets coffee brown. After it was cleaned it was like stepping into a new Camry. I do have Meguiar's Ultimate Interior cleaner. I haven't used it yet but plan too. What a difference hot water can make.

For that kind of stink , you could use an ozone machine .

[@ceakoth]

Love the great videos as always! I would advise against using magic erasers on your interior. They’re simply far too aggressive. They work similarly to sandpaper and they abrade the surface. This is the main reason why they clean so well, but they also abrade the factory protection on your interior, wearing through and down to the dye/base coat. The color your saw on the magic eraser was a combination of the grease/gunk as you mentioned (good thing), but also a bit of the dye (bad thing). Now your interior is less protected and will get dirtier more easily and be harder to clean. I’d suggest using a solid interior protectant on your interior surfaces like 303 aerospace (except don’t use on the wheel, you don’t want to add any slickness to that of course). This should help add back some protection and make future cleanings easier. If you want/need something stronger to scrub your interior, I’d suggest a detail factory curveball brush with some all purpose cleaner (I like optimum no rinse, but very very diluted simple green is fine as I know you like/have that already). Spray a bit onto the panel, and directly into the brush and lather it up and remove with a microfiber towel. Follow with protectant of choice (303 aerospace is my preference).

[@leonardolimon8371]

That steam cleaner from harbor freight works really good.

[@1RoadGarage]

Yes it does! I’m impressed!!

[@RMTCTL]

I'm going to have to get one of those! I've got some carpet stains in a couple of my cars that have frustrated me for years.

[@autophile-cv621]

WOW! Great job Jimmy.

[@ddemier]

Love the 4runner series

[@kmosier22]

Can't wait to see the rest of this series!!

[@tiorange1235]

I'm goin through literally exact same thing with this 2001 camry i purchased a couple of months ago, goin through phases as well 😅.

[@westcoastronnieOC714]

I've always found that using 30% vinegar to clean your headliner works every time. A little bit of elbow grease and a soft bristle brush works well. If you have light cleaning you could just use a little bit of vinegar spray it on a microfiber cloth and scrub away any spot dirt. Make sure if you do use it buy a chemical spray bottle and spray your headliner and within a half a day to a day the smell will go away. Leaves your headliner clean and will not damage it. Also good for carpet too. You can buy 30% vinegar in a gallon jug at home Depot or Lowe's. I use it full strength non-diluted.

[@watuzi]

Great job Jimmy. Personally, I like using chemicals to clean my car. I have too many not to use them.

[@iceman45ification1]

I was a distributor of car wash and detail products years ago. The best thing they could've invented for the car wash business is the steam cleaner. It makes your life so much easier than using chemicals alone. You and your wife both did a fantastic job cleaning it. Nice work guys!! 💪🔥 Ps- Now you can start on my car. 😜

[@1RoadGarage]

Thanks! Yes, that steamer is great!!

[@originalguy4535]

We need to clean more aggressively to remove dirt just with water and damage interior instead. Isn't it better to use interior cleaner and go gentle in rubbing/scrubbing/cleaning?

[@roberthutson2023]

So not sure if you know or not but Magic Erasers are actually an abrasive pad very fine but it does provide an abrasive effect; thats what cleans is because it breaks it down like when you ultrafine sand paper something. Just have to be very careful what you use magic erasers on.

[@BrandonRG-yv7fj]

I bought one of those machines in my country it s0cks but I found a good use for it, put vinegar and steam down the mattress to kill mites

[@freakfiveoh]

I've been looking for a way to clean my Raptor's steering wheel. Mine is in pretty good shape for a 10 year old wheel, but it's definitely got a hard shine all over it.

[@10cpaul]

The purpble Fabuloso diluted and some warm water in a spray bottle works wonders, and cheap! And the smelll is great!

[@chadmasters3935]

I use the LA Awesome concentrate cleaner from Dollar Tree. That stuff works great if you follow the dilution table.

[@559LFG_FoodDiscord]

Oh I know the feeling I also get that with ps one analog sticks I use VLR

[@travdripdrip382]

Groits garage interior cleaner. You'll thank me later. All natural, no dyes and safe on everything

[@gnome-ski]

invest in some detailing brushes, theyre worth it. i use griots interior cleaner and some brushes and microfiber clothes. not to expensive

[@limited50scla]

Try Chemical Guys Lighting Fast Stain Extractor. It works magic, you can dilute it, I use it for the seat belts

[@asadb1990]

After all of the interior is clean you can use something like mother's plastic protectant spray and it will rejuvinate and restore dried out plastic and rubber.

[@MegaEnzo07]

Why not use a vacuum?

[@minusGravity44]

Will you do the electric fan conversion on the 4Runner as well?

[@1RoadGarage]

Is that a normal thing?

[@ChevyCitation]

Thought the title would say Here's why you NEVER CLEAN the previous owners Grime off a 4Runner

[@dclawnmaintenanceandsnowre4099]

The one thing that has me concerned is the Dash cover will that work for the airbag on the passenger side

[@1RoadGarage]

There’s a US based company called Coverlay that makes a very factory looking ABS plastic cover WITH a cutout for the airbag. I may go that route.

[@rickfm4109]

What is the purpose of not using a mild detergent to assist cleaning? You can work hard or you can work smart!

[@dltafrc17]

Dang i never noticed how the cupholders have that like granite look to them. Looks good!! Excellent work!!!

[@RockymountainRobert]

Chris fix knock your lights out😅

[@Hellcat71782]

This guy talks to the camera like we’re 4 year olds

[@RhondaWills-o9q]

Yes, he does.

[@asadb1990]

Previous owner seriously trashed the car lol

[@BennyHubba]

Try baby powder on the sticky!

[@georgebaloian8272]

Not too long ago I bought a vehicle from people that were pigs when it came to cleanliness of the vehicle. I swear if it’s the deal of a lifetime I’ll never do it again. Godspeed with getting that nastiness and stench out of that car!

[@Voltrondefenderoftheuniverse]

Your wife is pretty ❤

[@Jaang29]

I clicked on the video because of the steamer , but you never even showed it , you didn't talk about the steamer that you put on the video thumb nail , what's the brand or model please ? thank you

[@aquarian311]

shes so pretty

[@johnwagner4559]

You need to get some detail brushes.

[@walterphillips9950]

Replace that factory radio. Not worth the time and effort to clean it

[@kc0lif]

2 suburbans & 4runner.

[@bigal9052]

why do you let your suv get that filthy in the first place 🤮
