This Dodge Ram Almost Made Me Puke! Disaster Car Detailing

[@rexmayn3171]

The old saying in banking is if they don’t take care of their credit, the won’t take care of the collateral. The only nice vehicle I ever got back was a woman who walked into my office and laid the keys to her car on my desk and said she has to give it up. I told her no, we can figure out a way to restructure the loan so that she could afford the payments. She replied “no, you don’t understand, I’m dying of cancer and will be dead soon. I’m settling my affairs while I am still able to”. Saddest day in my banking career. I saw her name in the obituaries a few months later.

[@showcasecharlie11]

That is horrible..but unfortunately does happen.

[@nnadozie6190]

😢 damn.

[@andreagates4548]

That's so sad!

[@chrise.2495]

Oh god... this is a painfull story. But the life have some presents for us we have to handle. Sometimes it is very much.... and this is one present nobody needed

[@Jerorawr_XD]

Why do good, responsible people like her perish, and leeches like the guy who made this Dodge persist.... :(

[@lloydmarche7263]

I worked at a detailing shop one summer when I was in university. It’s nasty work . Many people are disgusting and lazy. I detailed everything from the cheapest car to most expensive. Back then 22 years ago. And yes repos usually come in nasty conditions . A car that was just dusty or road salt in the carpet was a welcomed job lol. Amazing work , job well done .👍

[@Raiders_Nation84]

Something about these super disgusting vehicles getting cleaned is so satisfying 😂

[@theadventuresofzerotomillions]

They make me feel better about my classic projects.

[@jamesbradford5058]

Tell me about it lol

[@MichaelWarbux]

This could be one of your BEST restores you've done. Incredible before and after. Hell of a job man.

[@SoonerMikeD]

I was surprised you didn’t pull the carpet on this one to just pressure wash it and save getting all that funk in your shop vac and extractor 🤢😂. Amazing transformation as always!

[@MegaChevy25]

I was going to say the same, I would have pulled the carpet to clean under it and just pressure wash it.

[@mrgoodbar216]

He never take the carpets out. Imo you must take them out on a detail this bad because you dont get all the filth out. All the dirty water that the vac cant get just dries back up in the carpet or the car floor and will start to stink again

[@dac232009]

That’s what I was thinking replacing the carpet or have the carpet pulled and powerwashed!

[@oldschool9570]

Quitarla y lavarla a precion sería igual forma hay que aspirar y meter la lava tapicerías jaja

[@NoLurp]

This would be the correct way of doing it. Obviously that doesn’t make great content like this does, because it’s too easy. Not hating on this content, personally I would not suck nasty shit like that in my $1400 Mytee because I respect my tools and doing this full time requires my tools to work full time. The mats would of been pressure washed from the jump, then drill brushed, rinsed off and finally extracted. Also, it seems that a lot of detailers don’t understand the importance of gravity as well. If you hang the mats vertically when rinsing them, you don’t even need to extract and can use the sun/air to dry them while you work on the rest of the vehicle.

[@justinmcgill4806]

Quite often watch these kind of videos as I find it pretty satisfying. Think this is the first interior I've seen you endure that I felt psychically repulsed looking at

[@alanlewis0829]

I would think new carpet, padding and floormats would have been the most cost effective way to deal with this disgusting mess. You did a great job, I wonder what it smell like 6 months later on a hot day with the windows rolled up!

[@katherinehahn2548]

I would have thrown out the floor mats and picked up some new ones but cleaning them sure showed how good you are at cleaning the car.

[@njeanhunter9100]

10:28 Is that an axe? Must've been for cutting firewood. Even it is rusted.

[@heatherbontempo7742]

Voice over on an old video? Or did the same truck come back covered in milkshake and hot cheetos again a year later? - oh well, still watching it again because the results still amaze me 😊

[@CENTRALCOAST_]

How do you make sure the stain is completely removed? As often it can resurface once the carpet is dry

[@mxfan1008]

I hope it's not falling back into the same hands of the dirt bag that dropped it off! Looks Brand New!! 💯👍

[@StaufferGarage]

You and me both!

[@luciusthegod]

For the floor mats, why didnt you preasure wash them after spraying them with soap to get rid of the mold/other stuff before using the drill brush?

[@jon9932002]

Exactly

[@ShaneTheMunchist]

I second this, my OCD went up

[@timdubay9074]

That cleaning bill had to exceed the value of the entire truck!! Wow!

[@zakarylakota]

Yeah I agree that’s awful. But it is satisfying to see results. I do want to make one suggestion for you. They make electric ratchets now and I think it might make them a little quicker and easier for you. Great results as always!

[@StaufferGarage]

Thanks for the tip!

[@mikayla7430]

Yes this one is definitely the worst one yet! When you were vacuuming up that brown liquid I felt like I could smell it through the phone 🤢

[@riosoma]

I almost puked right there too!

[@lane2063]

I expect that the carpet pad or soundproofing was equally nasty and probably harboring mold. I think that eventually the carpet would reabsorb and wick up whatever had soaked through the carpet. Without addressing what is undoubtedly beneath the carpet I don’t see how the carpet could remain clean for long. The odor is definitely going to return. Replacing the carpet and floor mats would’ve been the most efficient option here.

[@SeansterMonster]

Even after watching you work so hard to get it as clean as humanly possible, I'd still feel gross sitting in it. It would have to be gutted down to the bare floor with new sound deadening and carpet and new seats and headliner before I'd feel comfortable being I'm it.

[@DeputatKaktus]

Wear PPE in those repo cars. I am not even joking. Tyvek suit and respirator seem called for. Everything about this car made my skin crawl. Edit: I would maybe have pulled the carpet and pressure washed it. Not sure if that’d be a viable approach here. I am worried though that some of that rankness is still sitting underneath the carpet. And also: Ozone the absolute hell out of the interior in the end to make sure nothing is alive in there anymore.

[@kittyexotica5635]

Every time I see one of these videos, it makes me want to go clean my already spotless car. I have the same reaction to watching Hoarders...makes me want to clean house.

[@StaufferGarage]

Go for it!

[@Ms._Purple_Apple]

Besides eye protection I think I would use face protection as well I wouldn’t want anything getting in my mouth 🤢🤮

[@philipstephan5451]

I used to manage a full service car wash and people would come in that lived in there vehicle. There vehicles were every bit as dirty as this one. Most of the time they expected the vehicle to be as clean as the one you just got done with after how many hours you worked on that one. They thought there's should be just as clean in ten to fifteen minutes. Great job. Stay safe. Charge accordingly. Great job. 😊

[@skagit58]

Whenever I see these vehicles, I always ask myself what their house must look like? Yuck! Well done on the cleanup! 👍👍

[@warwickscram1656]

Imagine how dirty their buttcracks must be.

[@113nightbird]

Wow! The interior of that car was nuts! You did an amazing job! 👏

[@melanieguthrie3685]

Kinda scared my car will start to look like this. I pretty much only have a vacuum and no money coming in anytime soon for any cleaners or brushes I really need, let alone the drill brushes and extractor/carpet cleaner. I keep the trash up and keep her vacuumed but the carpets are a nightmare 🙃

[@marinablueGS]

Whatever you charged to clean this vehicle....it wasn't enough! Fantastic job!

[@jonathanmcadams-nx5zp]

What? You don't know how much he charged thouhh. Plus he gets a video out of it too that makes a lot of views and money from advertising and whatnot. I bet he charged at least 150 to 250 for the interior. Maybe more. How is that not worth it? No degree and no skills really. Just like 100 dollars worth of tools and cleaners. There are plenty of people that would do this and people to do it for under 150 bucks. But some people would charge as high as 350 for the interior to be that way. My dealer did my Lexus for 450 but it was like this from an accident with a bunch of fat food and milkshakes that spilled everywhere in a fender bender.

[@bizzy175]

i don’t think people understand that vacuuming is like 70% of detailing

[@StaufferGarage]

100% agree

[@OtherSarah2]

easier way on that back seat: (1) wear a respirator (2) pull seats out & power wash it at the carwash (set it in the bed & blow the snot out of all the seams with the nozzle). If it works on NOLA fridges, it'll work on chicken-roost seats. Will it hurt the leather? Not if you use cold water with saddle soap.

[@Tieaga]

I don't understand how a vehicle can get this bad. I don't even take care of mine and it never gets that bad. It's probably sabotage thinking it's a pain for the loaner. It is but then they just throw a few dollars at a detailer and we get off to it. Yea I'm a detaler. I think the worst car i ever got my hands on was one i literally had to chip filth away with a screwdriver and then remove the stain after. It turned out great though

[@curtcoker6359]

I’ll give you a little bit of advice. The best way to clean your drill brush after this is to use lava not the soap but the melted rock that pours out of volcanos.

[@StaufferGarage]

Hahaha

[@donnydorito]

why don't you take the carpet out and clean underneath. Isn't underneath super nasty if all that milk and other liquid crap soaked through carpets?

[@SirGalahadThePure]

As much as someone is probably paying for that detailing, I'd just spring from new floor mats.

[@matthewsmall6225]

And new carpet.

[@mwicks13]

Great work. Do you think pressure washing the floor mats before extracting would've been more efficient?

[@Shortorderboy1048]

Probably but he also probably didn’t want to splatter moldy fluid everywhere lol

[@_Belteshazzar_]

​@@Shortorderboy1048like he did with the drill brush? 😂

[@dantyler6907]

I can't even finish watching this! I can smell the stink thru my eyes!😮

[@pushpopLoC909]

That's not a transformation that's freaking magic dude! Holy cow that's crazy to see the before and after. Not gonna lie didn't have a lot of hope but it looks literally brand new. Testament to how amazing these cars are built and how great of a job you do to get them to their best.

[@JWoodard93]

I left the detailing world. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed it seeing the results from start to finish, but I just got tired of the low ballers from friends, family, and clients thinking they know my worth. That and working outside in the Florida summer got the best of me

[@THReviewCars]

Thanks for the rinseless wash tip in the steamer. This was a good refresher course video.

[@ebrown1221]

I keep the fantik V8 in both my vehicles and one in my house. I use one of them almost every day. I love them. I also have their jump starter. Good products.

[@StaufferGarage]

Good choice!

[@gayden4669]

Honestly crazy what a simple vacuum job can do I wish ppl werent gross like this

[@tunerrestorations]

Your videos are about the only ones where I actually pay attention to your sponsors and advertisers.

[@mcass3663]

When I detail cars that I buy I find better condition floor mats at the wreckers rather than spend the time cleaning up these types of disasters !! But I get it that this is done to prove the cleaning ability one can do on any disaster detail. Great work!!

[@ScrappersDetailing]

Great job. How long have you been contracted for repo cars? I’m guessing they are often times quite trashed.

[@armourandre7]

I feel like I seen this video before. It feels like you said this about a truck very similar or another vehicle very similar. But it is still a great watch. Beautiful transformation.

[@landiahillfarm6590]

I'm no Pro, by any stretch, but after seeing what you described as curdled milk in the carpets, I think I would have pulled the carpets completely out to get at what soaked through. Good luck for that next owner.

[@BBslider001]

Also, why clean the seats after the carpet when the dirt is just flinging off the drill?

[@justariflefromjordan]

I hope this was a flip. I would hate to see this go back to the people who trashed it.

[@showcasecharlie11]

Was a repo..

[@DJWerkz]

Great job but with that degree of contamination those carpets should have come out and the floor of the truck cleaned too

[@kevinwolf9849]

No one taking about how he is pressure cleaning with no foot protection?! One mistake, and straight to the ER, seen it happen 👀

[@scubacro5758]

Does anybody remember of this chanel being about cleaning cars and not 40min of comercials ?

[@RalphsPier1961]

I now re named this video," THE SLUDGE DODGE."

[@ulhpilot7757]

Pretty impressive! That Milwaukee got a bit of a workout.

[@galann8276]

incroyable cette restauration, aux moins maintenant il a retrouvée fière allure !! excellent travail a vous STAUFFER GARAGE, continuer comme sa !💯💯💪💪✌

[@mr.hustlaelsuperior8293]

I would've charged 2thousand dollars to detail just cause is a rare detail and i know nobody would detail that ram

[@Italian144]

Ive cleaned some pretty bad disasters that look like something out of a scary movie but its always rewarding to make the car look like almost new again recovery

[@jjmturbo]

Gotta admit not seeing you just pull and pressure wash the entire floor carpet was disappointing. Mad detailing is the only detailer on youtube that hits these disaster details with the ocd attention that they need. Nice job with the detail, though.

[@DWCPodcast]

Is there a point that you've just replaced the carpet?

[@abelalcalaiii1346]

The caked on grim in the carpet is what had me but then that cup holder goo took the win. Super satisfying to see how such a nasty truck turns to a truck I am willing to go out and buy right now.

[@JCFranco]

I haven’t seen a video from you in a while. Whatever you did here worked. ❤U.

[@damianlee389]

Just checking in on you. Everything ok? No breathing issues, sudden rashes, nightmares etc.? Great job on the detail, brother.

[@showcasecharlie11]

Having a proper steering wheel cover is important. It isn't just for looks. Can be for safety and long term protection of the steering wheels touch points. I have a 30 year old truck with one, and replace it when it's worn out, the steering wheel looks brand new still. My semi truck, over 400,000 miles since new, it has a steering wheel cover, the steering wheel still looks brand new..only wear you will see is just a hint on the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. It helps with resale value should you ever want to sell or trade it off. Plus..it just looks good to have a steering wheel that isn't worn out and need to spend hundreds of not thousands of dollars to replace some of the high tech electronics steering wheel assemblies.

[@josephmonnens]

I keep my ride real clean and i still wouldnt mind this guy coming and shampooing my carpet to lol love it

[@phillipwatters3752]

Good job with those floor mats! I definitely would have just thrown them away.

[@averagejoe6971]

7 minutes into this video, I would have pulled all the interior with that nastiness. i would have pressure washed that shit

[@1mic3]

You deserve a purple heart for this one!!!

[@diverdave4056]

I found the fastest way to clean floor mats .... is to toss them in a washing machine with Oxy clean soap or soak them in a baby pool filled with hot water n soap For that nasty stinking carpet - mix up a few gallons of hot water with 2 cups of bleach and you favorite carpet soap or laundry soap and flood it over the carpet - let it sit for 5 minutes - then run your scrub brush on it - water vacuum it up ! it works great at killin off the smell and the bleach will not ruin the carpets color ... unless you working on a very old car with wool carpeting !

[@antcantmiss]

What kind of drill do I need to do the carpets? Do I need an expensive one or can I just get one from harbor freight. I want to use the drill to take seats out, screw stuff in, and use the brush for carpets

[@TheBurntSportsman]

I am so glad I never detailed a car that horrible! You're a stronger man than I am 😆 🤣 😂

[@mikecarbiener2137]

8:00 And again, i damn near lost it when brown goo mysteriously appeared from under the carpet....

[@angelamejia-loggia7331]

Great freaking job, it was so dirty and so satisfying. I would love if it was Asmr tho! I love those videos of yours!

[@coreystokes9935]

How long did this detail take from start to finish?

[@ericbraun4233]

Turned out really nice! Curious why you didn't use a steamer? Would have saved a lot of time...

[@marcopolo7419]

So satisfying, job well done. Always a great time watching the extraction part

[@jessicapeltier6140]

How do you clean the vacuum tube out when it gets that bad?

[@ABuller2]

That was amazing!

[@FaithLightJourney]

What is the chemical combination of the solution you use to break down stains for the carpet and seats?

[@nautospavn]

This is the most detailed detailing I’ve ever seen.

[@CaldwellClassics]

I’ve been watching your channel for a while, and I have to say this one takes the cake

[@adamashlock1787]

Bravo! Can’t believe it came a 10th as good as it did.

[@marciadycus]

OMG! SMELL-A-VISION WITHOUT THE SMELL! My mind just added the smells! Great job on the cleaning.

[@ryan_the_beast7603]

Good stuff!!!! Love the video keep up the good work!!!

[@Barbara-1111]

The reason ppl have steering wheel covers, it’s freakin hot in FL. If you’ve ever touched a steering wheel after the vehicles been sitting for hours in the sun. It’s like touching your oven after baking.

[@jasonreed4225]

To say that I'm impressed is an understatement!!

[@ShineTruruthstar]

The best mats are the original ones. I am glad that you have the know how when it comes to keeping them clean. 🤗👍👍 to you.

[@longislandcerealkiller6385]

Yes we are waiting to order our mint shine t shirts 🎉

[@tonymeehan7859]

was just curious if you steamed the seatbelts? They looked quite stained

[@bravefart1203]

Fear Factor Juice @19:48 😂

[@neesr13]

Forgive me for being gauche, but how much did you charge for this cleaning, and how long did it take you? A stellar transformation.

[@victorrobinson7008]

Do a test useing your carpet cleaner vs tide liquid laundry detergent with bleach alternative too see which is better in price and results ? Tide 30:1 or Gain liquid also 30:1 !

[@SoonerMikeD]

I have a suggestion. When you do the before and after shots show the exact same locations back to back in the before and after at the end of the video. I haven’t edited video before so that may be a bigger pain than I realize. Or it may be a pain to try to film the same way before and after. Just a thought 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@youtubeuser1492]

What do you do to protect yourself from odours and bio hazards?

[@marlonvillalobos8960]

Hello, what is the name of the liquid you use to wash carpets and seats and where can I get it?

[@bobbibice4381]

Just curious but Y not use the pressure washer before extracting? I feel like it would be less work.

[@ShineTruruthstar]

Hopefully whomever owns this beautiful truck will most certainly appreciate the excellent job that you did on their truck.

[@wyowolf6447]

Do you use a bag in your vac or just the filter and wash out later?

[@PapaSpeed3]

It’s been a while since you did one of these. Awesome video!!

[@NoxiousShock]

What kind of vacuum cleaner were you using ? Seems like its very powerful with the suction

[@dbman992]

Some channels click bait their titles for views, stauffer just goes the extra mile and finds the nastiest car in existence.

[@j.miranda7986]

Woooow. Amazin job, man. Congratulations!!! Muy entire body was yelling "Drown that sh#t in Bleach!!!!!". 😅😂😂😂 Nice video

[@knottssonasty3603]

Are you detailing the outside of these flips too? I wish you’d show some more of the outside as well, like wheels,tires, and coatings which I’m getting into myself and love it

[@capmultser]

Looking at the state of that, I dread to think what their home is like.

[@LOGASTL]

Bruh great job on this one. Keep safe, dat mold is nastay and hazardous.

[@tylerthorpe9947]

What kind of shop vac do you use that one does a really good job it’s a beast
