I never would miss your videos Mitch

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

This vehicle is gross and disgusting beyond belief

[@KP1972]

My Friday "have to watch" Wish I could share these.

[@joelbuchanan471]

I completely agree with this list. I would have also put the Kia minivan at #1. For 18 hours of work and a bucket of fries. The mom and dad who picked it up were impressed and rightly so.

[@Lexus-Revival-Garage]

No matter how many of these videos I watch, I continue to be amazed at how some people treat their cars.

[@rycherulz]

and I feel soooo much better about my own car. :o)

[@louoldschool7047]

and their kids have to ride in it

[@anotherone-xp9ox]

10:32 that was the car of a very sad addict who needs a lot of help

[@gators0605]

Watching you for many years now. Seeing the work you did out of your old garage with that small extractor compared to where you are now is so impressive. Congrats to you!

[@TheDetailGeek]

Thank you!

[@banaishe]

Hollywood doesn't make movies about superheroes like that. Bravo, man! I always watch you with pleasure, admire your golden hands and business acumen. Be healthy!

[@Donfrasl]

People are so nasty and blame it on kids. Kids are a mirror image of their parents I guess. I have kids and my truck never looks a mess.

[@jenniferriley954]

I’m sorry people shouldn’t let there cars get this dirty and always blame kids. They are parents and in control.

[@michaelcameron7017]

While I agree with you in part, it's not always that easy. Sometimes you have a long journey and the only way to appease the kids is by getting food etc that obviously makes a mess. Then at the end of your journey you're exhausted and just want to get everyone in the house. It's always on the to-do list to clean/tidy the car but when you have kids, it's not a priority so it doesn't get done as often as it should 🤷‍♂️

[@aloislanguillaume8168]

​@@michaelcameron7017 week ends still exists and you can make them clean their mess to responsibilize them (pardon my english it's not my mother language)

[@NORDWOLF4]

Kids should get water, and that's it. All food is to be eaten outside of car.

[@mrclassic2284]

If you can walk past a piece of trash you can pick it up and throw it away. Some people are just slobs.

[@angelsolano5792]

I'm a detailer and I completely agree. The excuse is always "oh I have kids sorry". 75 percent of the time the kids area is the cleanest. Maybe some cheetohs and toys in the back but up front is cigarette ash and butts, soda cans, wrappers. Your kid is not smoking a pack a day and using your passenger floor as a trash can, stop lying 😂

[@kmarch6630]

Why do they always say its the kid's fault? Its the parent's fault for not making them clean up their mess.

[@ashleighhornyak2261]

I hate the people in the comments making excuses for the parent. I have 4 toddlers in my car every single day and my car is clean. They don't eat food in the car unless it was something they had at pick up after school and I only allow water so if they spill it it's not a problem.

[@danukah]

It's true my parents never let us eat in the vehicle for this reason...

[@MrsZen1]

Exactly!

[@j3nvh483]

Makes one wonder, where are they now? Amazing work Mitch... You're a legend!

[@martinarruaOK]

I'm glad that you speak clearly and at a steady pace; that allows me to watch all your videos at 2x speed and still understand everything. That's amazing because my mother tongue isn't English. Great job!!

[@reidbartlett3862]

I just can't comprehend how people let their cars get this dirty! I have kids too and my car looks like a museum piece by comparison.

[@stephcarlofc]

This was a great 10 of your greatest details ever!! Every last one of these details was a HOF detail for sure. The vehicle that took 20 hours to detail is how I discovered your channel sir. I have a feeling that next week's video may probably be his dirtiest vehicle he's detailed yet which is probably why he did this top ten.

[@TheDetailGeek]

Glad you liked it!

[@Botdog614]

These are some great flashbacks to when I started watching the channel. The level of satisfaction achieved is out of this world! Have a nice weekend everyone 😅

[@peeachykeen92]

Imagine what the houses look like 😮

[@Jdeadevil]

Nest video: "Okay guys so the last couple have kidnapped me and are now making me clean the house, and there are so many more French fries in here"

[@mikedunn1322]

100% guarantee their house looks the same. I have 23 rentals and I see it all the time. If a person treats their car that way they treat their home the same. It absolutely disgusts me. And people wonder why rent is so high? Because us owners have to spend thousands of dollars fixing their messes.

[@reptongeek]

This was a nice treat. Not nice for you admittedly since you had clean all of these. Was just going to mention are these all on a playlist, and found out they are. Will enjoy watching all of them in a marathon when I have the time

[@royalbookshopper]

I used to own a cleaning business, and love my steamer. Retired now (yay!) but have three detail brushes for getting into all those little nooks and crannies when I clean my house. Dollar store paint brushes work well, also, as do the microfibre cloths. I have a couple which are for glass or stainless steel only. NO sprays required other than a bit of water and voila! Spotless windows and shiny chrome! I've learned a lot watching you work, and enjoy the fact that I'm retired and have the time to watch your vids. lol .... xoxo from Vancouver Island!

[@feliciafisher3748]

This video did not disappoint. I had forgotten about the live maggots.

[@325xitgrocgetter]

You do some awesome work and I learn a lot watching your videos...I do have a question....when cleaning seats...is there any issues or concerns about the occupancy sensors for seat belts and airbags when using a liquid to clean those seats?

[@CarolFelts-g9b]

Years ago we went on a family vacation with myself, my husband and our 3 kids, even with all the luggage, food, crafts and bickering our car never got as bad as these cars. You do great work!😊

[@valgerurhansdottir4201]

Almighty those cars 😱you did good cleaning on them all, totally agree with the list. Amazing job love it 👏👏👏

[@watannen]

took a lot of courage for that couple to agree being on camera as they picked up their minivan and tried to appear nice, while we all now know how filthy they are, really.

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

I remember the Hyundai, I couldn't believe that you cleaned it so well

[@aye3678]

I've watched all those videos before, but I still watched this whole video lol. Nice song you played on the guitar there! Love that song!

[@AlexanderWaylon]

Mitch is the best. It’s hard for me to get the earliest comment during the warm season due to work but I always watch every episode. Your attention span, and attention to detail (no pun intended) is exemplary. You do amazing work. Truly impressive at every turn.

[@RiChiE_DeE]

When someone has a dirty car interior, they also tend to have clothes strewn all over their room, dishes piled up in the sink, filthy bathrooms, overflowing trash cans, piles of laundry on the floor in the laundry room, and so on.

[@idiosyncratic3975]

Hey, you're doing a really great job! It's always fun to watch the videos. But it's always shocking how many completely trashed and dirty cars there are in Canada and the USA. I'm from Germany and have been working in the car trade for over 20 years and have bought and sold a lot of used cars in that time. In all those years, I've never come across a car like the ones you and other American detailers are constantly seeing (apart from commercial vehicles). Most German detailers wouldn't even touch the cars you do because they wouldn't be able to do it (due to a lack of experience).

[@kristinanoall]

That’s pretty embarrassing news for me as an American. 😳🫣 I promise most of us aren’t this bad! My van is old, but usually when anyone outside my family gets in it, they exclaim about how clean it is!

[@idiosyncratic3975]

@@kristinanoall Hi, don't worry. I'm not making a generalization for everyone. You never know what tragic fates lie in detail behind the individual vehicles. I just wouldn't be able to stand being in a car full of leftover food and creepy crawlies... brrr... goosebumps. We Germans are often pretty special with our cars: Great weather today on a Saturday and if you drive past a self-service car wash, it's full and people are cleaning their rims with a toothbrush 😄🤣 There's just not much for detailers to do here. If you keep things tidy, you don't have to make things tidy 😉 (but then we wouldn't have any videos to watch)

[@Toyotacorollaaltis-cn9fd]

I still have not been able to find out how people somehow someway get their cupholders that sticky in my 20 year old Toyota that has never had anything other than a vacuum once a month the cupholders have never been that filthy

[@MattFear]

I love watching all of your videos and the wonderful transformations!! With many of these vehicles, I find myself wondering that if people let the interiors get so bad, what does that say about the drivetrain. I'm assuming they don't get regular maintenance as well. Just curious about your thoughts on this.

[@jenndinwiddie3583]

The Bissell!! It’s looks so small compared to the Mytee, but it definitely got the job done! Now I’ve gotta go back and rewatch those older disaster details…good stuff! Have a great weekend Mitch!

[@callievaughn9955]

Words cannot express how amazing of a video this is. All of those vehicles were brought to life and looked so much better than how they went in. The unsellable Ford Escape was the first video that brought me to this channel, and you did not disappoint. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see more with the possibility of dirtier vehicles that outrank these.

[@williamnowacki]

Man those top 10 transformations I would say that must’ve been a marathon right Mitch? It’s crazy how some of the owners forget to clean up after themselves

[@kaseysnell9589]

Ooh this is gonna be good! I love watching how your amazing work transforms them and it's a nice way to relax😂😂❤

[@Weirdness77]

I might switch one and two. That tar melting off was incredible! This was a super fun video to watch!

[@kevinmalone9941]

These are pretty sick great job. One question after you use the microfiber cloth to clean some of these do you wash them or just toss them?

[@ychunks3710]

Bro, u truly have a gift in detailing a car inside out coz after ur done, that car gets a new living purpose and breathes much better.

[@laurabailey2092]

The kid excuse, I have 4 and nope it never looked like that, and yes they ate in the vehicle a couple times a year.

You are doing a great job. Thank you so much for all the great content and all the things you have taught me. I haven't missed an episode since you started. Maybe I can be as good as you someday, but I do try my best with the stuff I have. Have a great and safe weekend, everyone.

[@BrandonHall-h9k]

I promise you need an award for the awesome transformations you make happen. I am honestly floored that some people don’t care about their vehicles and how anyone could let it get that shape is beyond my comprehension. Have a great week of success Mitch.

I always watch your videos right before cleaning mine or my wife’s car to get some motivation. I always feel like a detail geek during the wash 😎

I don't understand how people can neglect their vehicles like this! Even an old car deserves to be clean! And how can any one even sit or ride around in such filth?

[@eveb446]

(1). I agree with your list of the most dirty vehicles. (2). You did a fantastic job on everyone of those vehicles. (3). JUST SAYING: Some people just do not ask their children to pick up after themselves! Have a restful weekend.

[@bluwusky5167]

Sometimes I look at the lone Toblerone wrapper in my passenger-side footwell and worry that my car's getting a bit too dirty. Your videos, though, continue to assure me that it could be so much worse- you're a hero for taking some of these on, the ones full of old food would turn my stomach

[@PamelaVidler]

Such a great video compilation. I hate when people always blame their kids for the mess in their cars. My kids always had to clean out the car, every time we got out of it. I wonder if these parents/people realize how unhealthy the air is in these automobiles, and how much danger they are putting their passengers, and themselves in? Fantastic video!! Have a wonderful weekend!!

[@TheDetailGeek]

Thank you! Have a great weekend!

I can't help but feel it is neglectful to drive your precious children around in such disgusting filth. Good job Mitch on the detailing.

[@joelbuchanan471]

I really enjoyed seeing this review. I was trying to count the number of times, your buddy, the flathead screwdriver was needed to get inserts and gross stuff out of the cupholders and inserts, it looked like at least 6 times in this review. I am sure there were more in the long form versions. The maggots were disturbing. That's something you should NEVER find in a car. Seeing the insert steamed on the table with brown and black goo leaking out still gives me nightmares. Thanks for a fun review, have a great weekend Mitch! 💜

[@derickengles5506]

Mitch, you asked during a moment of the video on friday August 2 what brings us here to watch the videos. Besides what most of us have already told you about in the comments of that video and in the past related to the cleaning stuff, I would like to say that "the songs" brings me a lot to the videos. I have a playlist on Spotify with a lot of the songs that you usually use in the video. For that I always watch the videos and have the Shazam app open to discover and save the songs in order to add to this playlist later. As always, it is a pleasure to watch your videos. Keep up with the hard work.

Mitch, have you had the nightmares yet where extremely filthy cars track you down begging you to clean them with dirt and debris falling out of them? And no matter how much you clean them, the dirt just keeps going and going and going? LOL

[@schoonergirl2658]

Does the filthy water you pour into your drain make your studio smell as bad as I think it does? I can’t imagine that smell lingering around. I hope your rug and upholstery cleaner is able to neutralize the odour. This is quite the list, no wonder you’re the best detailer on KZbin! Absolutely amazing!

[@susangartman5252]

We were not allowed to eat in the car when we were growing up at least not until we were old enough to clean up the messes. We did not eat take out that much. We had parents that cooked home meals and we ate together as a family.

I have to say, the #1 thing Mitch has to clean up regardless of the vehicle are french fries. It seems that almost every single vehicle he brings in has fries scattered all throughout. 😄

I know of a vehicle, that owners lived in for over a year, with 14 small dogs that did not go outside to potty. no one would clean it.

[@biancajingles2690]

I used to clean a client’s home whose car looked like a cross between the car with the terribly stained seats and the minivan with all food on the ground. She had me come along to a dinner one time and getting into her car made my stomach churn because it smelled like spoiled milk and just general vomit smell 😅 Needless to say, her home also ALWAYS a mess. Fridge with molding over produce/food in containers, piles and piles of dirty dishes, overflowing trash cans, clothes thrown everywhere. I don’t understand how people can just never clean and don’t get stressed seeing the mess 😅

[@dandiehm8414]

Great video Mitch. Now its time for the top 10 owner's reactions video (although we were just shown what would be number 1).

[@patriciaposthumus6684]

I really enjoy watching these transformations. That carpet cleaner and brush combo is awesome. Though i have noticed on occasion that even that combo can't seem to bust the stain. Before I got old, I used to clean carpets. Especially in apartments where their normal guy just told the manager to just replace the carpets. That's when they would call me. Sometimes, there would be stains that are just really hard to get out, especially the color red. Try this: instead of shampoo, fill your tank of your machine with ammonia. Spray it on the stain and let it set for about 10 min. Then, extract out the water. On the second pass, use your normal shampoo. I have never seen a stain yet that this will not get out. (Sometimes, you have to repeat the ammonia treatment before using the regular shampoo, but not that often. It's a judgment call at that point.) Also, what do you do with all the loose coins that you find floating around the vehicles?

[@sarahfreed5640]

All great transformations and I think I was here for all of them, but how did the truck with the animal blood not make the top 10? So cool, that people know they can go to you when they’ve been turned down by others.

[@randywilliams9531]

You are like the guru of car detailing,you can take a mess and make it a masterpiece

[@MrPlayerPerson]

I can't imagine how people can garbage up their cars and still drive to work and school in them every day. I would feel so dirty after getting out of the car. If people treat their cars like garbage trucks I hate to see their homes. Parents, if your kids make a mess in your car, truck, or minivan, get them to clean it up so that it is as clean as new, and to inspire them to clean up by taking away their Cell Phone or PlayStation until the job is complete, no exceptions. It might be tough parenting, but the lessons need to be learned. Children need to learn to be responsible for their actions and sometimes accidents happen but it is a life lesson that they hopefully help them in the real world as they get older, when they join the professional world of employment! Great Top 10 Mitch!
