[@sruk]

Pt 2 coming at 3pm

[@marc7489]

I'd love to clean that van aha I work for Birmingham van Centre vanology as the head valeter I see my fair share of diry Van's aha and that's gotta be one of the worst I've seen if u need and advice how to clean that that back to its former glory let me know

[@nigelclose8127]

HI Rob and Chris, Just wanted to say a big thank you to you both for all the entertainment you provide to us petrol heads. , particularity during these horrible winter months when our own projects stall a bit.. . I love your 'warts and all' attitude, as your not afraid to show when things don't go so well. Just used car vertical to buy my son his first car and very pleased with that service, great for peace of mind, , well recommended. :) I've been watching for a long time but never commented before , so thought it was about time. Keep up the fantastic work guys and wishing you and your families a fantastic Christmas break, (If you can tear yourself away form the garage for a few days that is... ) Top men. Well done.

[@lotus7even]

I like that you have protective seat cover on to protect your clothes Rob!

[@spesinfracta]

Brave men! not often the engine bay is the cleanest part of a vehicle, looking forward to part 2.

[@colin.chaffers]

Its the first time I've seen a cleaner engine bay rather than interior

[@jimmac715]

Excellent, a bonus Sunday video.

[@tomsatterthwaite9674]

A deep clean of the world's dirtiest van starring Rob and Chris sounds great! Looking forward to the inch by inch guys 🙂

[@mickehoe]

The back of that van reminds me of when we had a fleet of VW Caddy vans on the road doing IT maintenance work. One lad barrel rolled a van on a country lane. He had several large printers in the back, ink, toner and wax exploded in the back of the van. Lucky the van was a write-off so he didn’t have to clean it out. 😜🤪

[@dezh6083]

It makes makes Good business sense to buy that Van irrespective of the state of it... like you said Rob and Chris getting the foot in the door.... not sure how the company would allow a van to get in such a state on the first place. I am sure some pledge and a yellow duster will clean that up in no time all. The Magic white sponges u can buy will remove all the ingrained stuff. Great once Again.

[@francispalmer9737]

When you opened the back door on that van I burst out laughing but as usual guys I know you will bring it round and it will be good fun to see it come up shining. Cheers guys.

[@Shill63]

Haha ,the thought of you in that van with your white trainers ,brilliant vid

[@ched999uk]

Looking forward to seeing how on earth you get that clean, good luck lads.

[@paulluggar5964]

It can't be often when a vehicle's cleaner under the bonnet then it is inside the cab! Get the G101 on it Rob! Nooiiceeee. 👍

[@atvseatexchange2176]

The long game, congratulations Rob. Vans are for work anyway so it's about the mechanicals. Keep up the great work guys and keep the van content coming.

[@iansworkshop]

I think you should be able to reverse fit the wood in the back ….. the right side goes to the left side dirty side in , and paint the bulk head

[@mickpowers9667]

Best you get the g101 out mate good luck nice to see you put one up on a Sunday 👍👍👍

[@GrrMeister]

11:00 *Good move, sure it will look sparkling after Rob & Chris get stuck in.*

[@paulbradford8240]

A jet wash inside the whole van, including the load area, then, once dry in the rear, sand the timber or even paint it and it will improve it no end.

[@tallgest]

I know a friend who had a crafter registered in 2011 and he has done 700,000 miles on the same engine. Solid.

[@ccjelley2390]

I can't believe the same company keeps all its other vehicles immaculate, lol! Had to laugh when you called it the dirtiest van in the world. Spot on. I'm sure you'll get it looking [fairly] mint!

[@benevans3733]

Well done for putting out two videos as a Sunday bonus videos

[@rbcleaningskegness9191]

Great throwback video Rob and Chris enjoyed the whole series on the van👍

[@benevans3733]

Hope you both have had a good weekend

[@Cestmoi-q5d]

This build introduced me to the channel. Many thanks for the ongoing excellent content on the channel Rob and Chris. 🙏

[@DB71170]

New boards in the back including top to bottom on rear doors. Pull crew seats out & clean them Rob style. Then it's a tanker full of G101 & marigolds for you two 😂😂.... Nice buy.

[@kevinw8258]

An unexpected Sunday video, that’s a very nice surprise 😊😊 Cheers Rob and Chris, stay safe👍

[@mattwood086]

Great idea on the throw back lads. Remember this van well.

[@nickmanning9558]

Loved it last time and great to see it again.

[@charlieboyok]

Wow this is what l call a surprise video , this looks like an road tar Van carrying supplies & crew , but l will watch you chris & rob putting some elbow grease into it to make it lovely jubbly again 😀

[@alswinburne3826]

As an ex valeter there is a day in valeting the van, look forward to seeing you getting to grips with it,

[@matthewc.419]

Its a marathon not a sprint A.T.D with a P.M.A 😉😉

[@matthewc.419]

G101 or tar n glue ??????.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@marksmithard7801]

Brucey Bonus video thanks both👍

[@poohbear8012]

That's good business sense building on a good relationship with the company for more vehicles in the near future.💪💯👑

[@wizz4392]

Loving it! I´m gonna watch the upcoming video´s with a nice cold beer in my hand.

[@Richard-hm2pj]

Sometimes you can take the left hand side panels and fit them to the right. That way you have the clean back side of panel showing.

[@andrewwilson1118]

Nice little van bit of work looking forward to seeing it 👍👍👍

[@millrythe100]

If anyone can turn that van around you two you guys Will certainly do a top-notch job

[@jameswild3800]

Forgot about this one great idea 👍roll on pt2

[@michaelhynds8035]

Excellent. Good strategy as well in terms of securing a supply chain of vehicles. It may be a bit rough with some light cosmetics, although you will be able to sort out all of the issues as always. I am delighted for you. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

[@trishhartland5156]

Wow the engine was the cleanest part of the van I’m glad you put a cover over the chair to drive it that’s a very dirty van can’t wait for the clean up video it’s going to be amazing

[@normanstephens5391]

You both have a good Strategy. Stick with it. 👍👍👍

[@SiRhodesDriverTraining]

Throwbacks. Spot on Rob as your subscribers have gone up a lot recently and good to pay the bills also 😉

[@stephenfarrow368]

Wow I am am lost for words guys ,what a state

[@benevans3733]

Hi rob and Chris congratulations on reaching 222,000 subscribers and well done for all of your hard work once again

[@davidglassford2194]

You think guys that drive it & others that spend time in it would a little respect for the van even if owned by a company. Can’t wait to see it clean again 👍🏻

[@jonsherry6289]

Is the seat cover to keep YOU clean 😆

[@brendantinsley1888]

Bonus Sunday video! 👍👍👍👍

[@haydenuk02]

Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

[@geoffhobster5814]

was also a contractor and my trany was never ever that mistreated if I had sure I would have been fired, I even slept in the van sometimes when could find no BandB so it was clean inside and out. look forward to the big clean and the swan is underneath

[@qrphfradio7753]

That was a genius idea putting that plastic sheet over the driver's seat. You don't want to dirty it any more than it was 😂😂😂. Great job in video 2 which I watched first, then realised their was a part 1, thank you KZbin

[@MattMcKimmie]

Cheers guys just sat down for my break at work and now have something good to watch.Great content as always very much appreciated.Matt in freezing Aberdeen

[@mrwhite292]

Thank you guys, peace

[@1066gaz]

David bellamy would be in his eye holes with this one if he were still alive. I remember the comedy sketches with lenny henry acting as david bellamy squashing the soil between his hands and enjoying it lol.

[@petergerman3593]

Now I can't wait to see part 2 but it will sure look better when your done

[@vernonmatthews181]

Look forward to the VW Crafter deep clean, and all the tricks of the trade for cleaning. Was that the HA next to you Rob, keep me posted. 😁😄👍👍

[@hojo9115]

I've driven a lot of work vans over the years, but none of em were that filthy inside. However, like you said it's got your foot in the door for maybe getting some good stock in future

[@niged]

Bloody hell Rob, that is one shoddy filthy van. However, if anyone can bring it back to look good, you and Chris can!

[@davidavis8190]

As always another great video guys , Keep up the good work 👍👍

[@darrencowley8265]

Hi Rob and Chris a video on Sunday nice one.that Van is going to be lot of work and what a great video thank you take care both 😊😊

[@mrbigvanlife7130]

Speculate to accumulate and it’s a winner even if it’s cosmetically rough if you can get 2 days wages each out of it. The man from Salvage Rebuilds he say yes!

[@maffthetaff8625]

seriously cant wait to see u both work ur magic on this, rip out the backand a huge jet wash will sort it lol... but seriously thats some disrespect to the van, no matter if u own it or not if ur boss gives ua vanu treat it like ur own car... but atleast its given u guys a challenge and ur viewers good content to watch good luck guys lol 😆

[@andy_v4443]

its throwback, that means its already been done

[@freddie7962]

Serious disrespect for boss never mind the van

[@Andy-qo6rq]

What a result the amount of tarmac you have you can do the drive to the yard. 😂 I remember you saying about this firm and the fussy bloke. Looks like he’s getting kicked into touch. The firm don’t want to be stuck with motors they want to make a call and you turn up and it’s gone then the firm can move on. Sounds like the bloke just kissed good bye to the goose that’s been laying him golden eggs. 👍🤞

[@Casey.seeK.]

Can't wait for the clean up!

[@md-detailing]

i remember this Rob,loved watching every episode about the Crafter :D

[@danielmorrissey5842]

Was like going bk in time didthecrafter last year have same issue with milage and was much the same van and condition good work rob and chris

[@ianevans3619]

Boys the back of that van is clean compared to the old Transit I run scrap in with 🤣, it will clean up with a lot of hard work and chemicals , good luck 👍

[@fazfinisher5598]

I drove a low loader for tarmac firm for years, thats just the norm for the gang vans.

[@Bootneck-RMC]

I'll never understand people that disrespect another persons property. I know you said they are contractors and you will probably have different people using the van every week (maybe even every day), but that's no excuse for not cleaning up after yourself. As my mother always said "leave it the way you find it". A lot of hard work ahead with this one lads. 👍

[@EnglishVeteran]

The sort of van that needs mudguards on your Hoover and you wipe your feet on the way OUT! 😊😊😊

[@joshnnik]

I’d have had to put my overalls on just to get in it! Can’t wait to see the clean up of all clean ups though Rob.👍

[@raychambers3646]

Not many Van's you wipe your feet getting out! Lol.

[@stehaughton5074]

Thanks Fellers 👍👍

[@stevebailey3568]

It looks like a Tarmac crews van. if it is Tarmac inside the back doors brush Solvent or Diesel on it for a day or so to soften it and then Steam clean . Try small area you'll be surprised especially with the use of Diesel.

[@eltonkingsley5617]

Blimey Rob, you and Chris are going to have to suit up in the bio-hazard gear to get this one close. Properly Percy Filth and no mistake!

[@ianratcliffe2299]

OMG you guy’s have really got your work cut out but seeing how well you turn things around I every faith in you.👍

[@jeffshaw4553]

When I read the thumb nail saying dirtiest van in world I thought can’t be as bad as the last crew can you had but I eat my words that is minging 😂😂😂you Will both do your magic on it and sure of it I am confident that will be spotless once you finished 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽well done getting your foot in the door am sure they will phone you again

[@AdamsWorlds]

Oooo cant wait for the deep clean.

[@generalt1090]

You have your work cut there boys! But knowing what you’ve done previously with the road tarred van this’ll be easy!!!!

[@ASH.......................1976]

Wow that's pretty filthy ! I think you're gonna need plenty of G101 👍

[@robertebob3596]

G101 will get some use here , will be watching.

[@neilhadfield6370]

Keep up the great work guys

[@neilhadfield6370]

Rob will u have to buy new seats rubber mat and door panels for the crafter

[@therealdojj]

Bonus stuff on a Sunday? Yup, that'll do 😁

[@leehawkins7337]

A good quality tfr will remove most of the black stuff and personally I'd replace the ply with a new kit there's plenty of companies who will come to you. I can see a nice van through all that muck. Commercial prices have went crazy since the pandemic. Good luck 👍

[@MrCobblecraft]

Haha I like the plastic on the seat, usually to protect the seat from you, but in this van it seems to be protecting you from the seat haha

[@tonycoelho3670]

I think you need to find a large washing machine and put it on deep clean HA, ha you and Chris will work your magic and sort this out .love the content as always.

[@beerlodge5153]

Get that G101 ready lads!!!!

[@johnshepherd4842]

Rob, the engine bay is cleaner than the inside of the van, must be a first, one for the Guinness book of records

[@rpwhite05]

G101 party time 🥳

[@paulhayes1683]

Rob and Chris star in a new soap documentary 🤣🤭👍

[@bedclintred]

Get the G101 out, don't you just love it, looking forward to pt2. 👍😁😍

[@andyspencer1010]

Bonus thank you guys nice one on getting the Mercedes lights 👌👌👌

[@sprograt]

I'm sure you will have that van looking good again. A bit of G101 and some elbow grease will make a huge improvement. Is the van an Ex GARIC vehicle?

[@rachaelwyatt754]

It is called "a foot in the door" and honestly, you need to be in it to win it :)

[@booseph289]

Now that's a proper work van! Mines getting to that state! :)

[@wayneberilla1929]

Rob sometimes you’ve got to speculate to accumulate, doesn’t always work but it has more times than not for me 👍, loving the vlogs you and Chris are making, look forward to the next one 😀

[@georgeriggs7651]

hi guys you got your work cut there dirty van u no wot thay ware is muck is money make her shine grate video good luck guys😉

[@mondodaftasabrush]

Nice to see the Viva getting a warm by the fire ...... soon be Xmas video special

[@colinmiles1052]

Good luck with that one!

[@michaelv3340]

The worst I ever saw here in the states is an Ford F350 I bought as a parts truck from a coal mine. There was literally four inches of mud on the floor, and the frame was cracked in two places.

[@cinccave5459]

I can't wait to see the next video on this where you do the deep clean. I'm also curious to see what maintenance problems you're going to encounter.

[@sruk]

Coming today

[@melb6528]

Nothing more satisfying than returning a dirty old motor back to a usable condition. But in this case sooner you than me 🙂

[@paulwalker427]

A lot of work will reap rewards in the long run

[@geordieron5864]

Rob, good business sense to see it as maybe 'a loss leader' to open up possible future opportunities. Saying that I'm sure you and Chris can work your cleaning expertise on the van and squeeze some sort of profit from it.
