Cleaning the Barn-Find Ford GT...it's alive!

Anyone remember to get into the AC ducts and clean the evaporator too?

[@jamesl5352]

...and pull those panels/dash, mold will thrive back there

[@Pwnulolumad]

Came here to post the same thing. Need to remove the door panels, shifter, radio grills, dashboard, ac ducts, and a product to kill anything inside evaporator core if they’re not possible to source new.

I'm not going to pretend I have 1% the detailing knowledge they do, but that's my first thought. They yanked the seats, ok... now yank the center console, the dash, etc.

[@phillysdetailinggarage]

As a detailer, I’m quite surprised that they weren’t wearing masks while steaming and cleaning that mold.

[@Nabeelco]

Unless you have asthma or are allergic to mold, it's only really a health problem if you eat it. Even black mold. It's a common misconception that simply being around it or breathing it is dangerous. It's not. And if you ARE allergic or have Asthma, it will irritate your lungs and can cause harm long term, but it's not going to like instant risk killing you or anything like eating peanuts will to someone who's allergic to them. Your breathing will just get bad, and you gotta remove yourself from the situation.

[@glyndonsprofessionaldetail7429]

as a rule i never steam mold , if anything clean it all up first then steam

[@yortomatic]

I'm at a loss as to why the interior wasn't stripped out of it, and then cleaned. You know that crap is on the other side of what stayed in the car.

I agree with all the other comments I'm seeing... the surface detailing just blows my mind... that much mold requires a full interior strip to ensure it's gone. I get not showing it for video length purposes, but at least clarify if it was done for this detailers reputation.

[@ajmcnnn]

right, a steamer, brush and soap will not remove all that mold by iteself

[@gregfrost8808]

What about under the dashboard or inside the door panels? I would think the mold is in there too.

[@shadymf]

Typically, you would finish with an Ozone machine or some sort of chemical fogger than can fill the interior spaces and kill any mildew, mold, smells hiding out of sight. Imagine they did that here, just didn't show it.

[@rennen71]

I was going to bring that up. Just cleaning the surface of this car isn't getting rid of all the mold/mildew. It needs to be stripped down and everything cleaned to truly do it right

There is mold or mold spores everywhere inside that car including inside the vents. You have to start with a ozone generator for at least 4 hours. I would do 24 hours before I touched anything.

Yeah, most of the ppls think that mold (in cars) = places where you see it, where someone has touched their hands. But unfortunately that's not true at all. There'll be mold even under the floor carpeting, behind the door cards, inside the dash, inside the seats (cushion), inside the HVAC system & piping, etc. "It smells a bit" says Ed around 11:40 mark. Telltale how much moldy crap there's still in the cabin when it stinks even just after the cleaning / sterilizing process.

[@boarmageddon]

@@Gadne92.5they’ll probably end up fumigating the entire interior with a mold killing and nice smelling product that’ll kill everything that they don’t physically clean

[@jeffomalley100]

They did a nice job but won't the insides of the seats be moldy too and all inside the dash and vents?

[@sp4nky007]

The detailing looks great... maybe its a silly question...but without removing the dash and headliner, aren't you still missing tons of mold growing?

[@check4v]

They are, they should really clean under there.

[@etienneauger6256]

The dash should come of and every HVAC pipe need to be clean . I m pretty sure that they are in the same state as the interior and it will be a hazard to use the ac as it will spread spores directly in your lungs. For a car in that price range doing it right is a must .

[@tunanocrust2642]

Glad im not the only one.... IMO the seat covers should be removed, door cards removed, the center console, dashboard and subwoofer plastic should all come out for this much mold and to clean underneath. I wouldnt want to be in that without the rest of it truly cleaned

[@check4v]

@@tunanocrust2642 In general I really don't think a through job was done here. Not knocking the guy's business, but there's a lot more to do so you're not getting some weird moldy lung disease from owning this car.

All the rubber on the tie rod ends and ball joints are rotted away by now. I am sure it is only a matter of time before seals start to leak as well. Rubber does not like to sit unlubricated. Went through all this on a 02 Thunderbird that had sat for 10 yrs in a garage. A customer brought it to the Ford dealership I worked at. Ended up having to do all the suspension bushings a power steering pump and a rack and pinion. It had 3500 miles on it. He only learned he had a issue when it started dumping power steering fluid onto his garage floor.

Thanks for that additional info on the start up. That is good negotiation. The cost for a part that can be a factor in price being worth more than the block is a very reasonable consideration. If one can negotiate the price of a block down in the purchase, even better. "Seller, knock of the price of exhaust because dont know condition, or price of the block because might cause engine issues starting to verify the exhaust" If was going to pull engine, then okay. Did he borescope the cylinders first? Still. What if exhaust was bad AND now damaged internals?
