Does anyone else listen to this when falling asleep. I have ocd and this shit gets in a deep sleep 😂. ASMR FOR CAR GUYS😁😘

[@IrishRunningVlog]

rebein khoshnow I thought I was the only one 😂🙈

[@victora.3131]

rebein khoshnow Yes lmao any car cleaning video (especially if it has that pressure washer noise) automatically puts me to sleep

[@brittanykelsall4585]

OMG YES AND I THOUGHT I WAS WEIRD HAHAHAHAHA

[@kentpellerin36]

Yes he has a relaxing voice. Nothing weird about that

[@eddiefreeston8856]

rebein khoshnow I want him to do audio books

[@Floridos]

You always have to clean your screen before watching these videos😂

[@bradleyfjackson]

This is like $500/hr therapy for people like me who have OCD & Anxiety. Ive never felt so relaxed and calm as when i watch these videos. Thank You, Guru.

[@SilverLightningXV]

You should narrate books and movies

[@claudedebussy2984]

3LightningBolt what's with the profile pic

[@JoseGarcia-yp9mr]

Can’t, I would be cleaning the cinema

[@RobWhittlestone]

Great video! Very nice videography! And... I find it great therapy! In this world of short attention spans and habitual multitasking, I love the attention to detail, the close-up shots and the relaxed but oh-so-sharp voiceover. The surroundings did not detract from the content. On the contrary, I loved the flowering bushes and brickwork lending a delightful and dignified reminder of the glory of bygone suburbia, now revitalized by new, younger talent. Has the makings of cult content! 10/10 points :-) All the best, Rob

[@tinniswood2577]

I never bother with other car cleaning vids now, most are tedious to the extreme and don't offer the scouse tones I have become accustomed to!

[@jamiecommon6463]

Same here i love watching them and find them so relaxing and to the point

[@gazza3623]

Brummy not scouse 😅

[@Beer_Dad1975]

That weird hairy carpet is the worst at getting stuff stuck in it to the point where it's hard for even a powerful vacuum to pull out. I use a moderately stiff carpet brush to sweep as much debris out of the "pile" as I can into a corner first to vac up which I believe saves me time and frustration.

[@r3vo830]

Everyone hates it, because it's the worst.

[@SDav21]

I don't know why people don't like the so called "fake" leather that Volvo and the German carmakers also use. It always looks good. Looks real, feels real, smells real but lasts way longer than real leather and makes the car look good even after a few years.

[@topperhatschire]

I have a 9 year old car with real leather. I even have a kid. It still looks great. It isn't that hard to take care of, but I grew up working on farms so maybe I'm used to it

[@anonymousmind]

Do more interior cleaning videos with more dirty cars!

[@JamesMossR33]

Enjoyed this one just as much as the others so don't let the location put you off. I never really noticed. Don't change a thing.

[@MatchboxGarage]

Congrats on 100k subs dude

[@mehmetalicetin6105]

You are the best car cleaner, you pay attention every corner.awesome

[@FretFreak02]

My girlfriend finds it understandable, yet slightly strange I put this much interest into cleaning my car (by that i mean watching for tips & tricks and later on washing my car). Whenever I watch your video’s, she sometimes jokingly says “i wish you’d put this much interest into cleaning our kitchen” lol!

[@gaylongraham077]

Don't short the vacuuming footage, we need the ASMR time.

[@MattyHook]

This pleases my OCD greatly

[@droidkevinrooted]

Your videos are so authentic and I enjoy watching every single one of them :) Thx for sharing the process on your new Volvo :)

[@ukaszflieger7141]

For me cleaning a car that was owned by somebody else before is as much important as first oil change and service, so agree with you.

[@rztrzt]

"cross-contamination" That's it, I'm getting you a hazmat suite for xmas!

[@danilogonzalezmx]

Deep cleaning and a pretty nice car like c30. Pure pleasure.

[@jw967]

Putting air fresheners on stalks stains the Plastics after a while. JP details has a video on this. Just a thought. Great video as per 👍

[@michaelmontefusco896]

JW it was a joke.

[@jw967]

Michael Montefusco oh wasn't sure,fair enough then. Only said to highlight it to those who don't know the inside jokes such as yourself and took it as a practice they should employ themselves.👍

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

JW he certainly does I've put the link in my last video 👍🏻

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Great video,its nice someone like yourself keeping your car clean,I'm the same myself,it gives me ideas what I can improve when I'm doing my car.

[@Kozo_Hoshino_]

Ihave to say as a Saab Owner i love cars from Sweden. This car makes me want to go out and buy one!

[@TPez]

Wheels off video sounds good

[@saxovtr1234]

The spray trigger on auto finesse products is so crap

[@Doubleoseven502]

Another great video! I can actually put up with the outside of the car being dirty easier than I can the inside. I hate dirty interiors but this area is often neglected by people for some reason. I also like to disinfect the ac system every 6 months as its a breeding ground for germs and smells. The seats look so much better now! I bet it smells a lot better too.

[@fouziaperveen]

Re-watching all your interior cleaning videos. Love them

[@SKarlsson]

Superlative. As usual. Love the Volvos. I am of the age to recall my intense desire for the T5-R wagon here in the US. Also, any previous Turbo wagons from the 80's. I'd still love to own one.

[@flynn7579]

I like how simple your approach is, not going above what is nessecary to achieve what you want to. Applying just enough cleaner to get the job done, definitely a good way to go about cleaning a not so dirty car.

[@Cris-mm3vf]

Great content!!! I watched many of your videos. Don't get me wrong but your voice makes me feel sleepy. You have that voice for discovery channel animal documentaries!

[@markdonald6371]

Hello, was wondering where you bought your aftermarket floor mats, would like a pair of them myself 👌, great videos by the way, have used a lot of your techniques and noticing big changes to my C30 👍🏻, thanks

[@StatsMass]

"Fake Alcantara", so a faux faux-suede? 😂

[@peoplearedaft5079]

So it's real suede ? 😂

[@Scotracer1987]

Alcantara is synthetic too!

[@aresblueisgonnastabyou2095]

Elton John's been on the phone,,,,,,,,,,,,,,wants to know if that leather cleaner works on underpants ?

[@chocolatewheelchair]

I want to go outside and clean but it’s below freezing. I should probably wait.

[@CarCleaningGuru]

I was supposed to be out filming today but it’s snowing.

[@Mogsy28uk]

can't go wrong with Chemical Guys products....i use the same leather products on my ST-3 seats. Buy from CG-UK or CYC for best prices

[@JuiceTerry87]

Accent reminds me a little bit of Ringo Starr when he narrated Thomas the Tank Engine

[@tucosalamanca5194]

Can you do mine for me?

[@djbazzmaster]

#1 irritation for me is cleaning the windshield :(

[@ethandelafontaine]

same :(

[@skookum_ahc]

Excellent video, as always. Since you talked briefly about it here: Any tips for cleaning and/or refurbishing old and used Alcantara? My 850R needs a bit of loving in that department.

[@rephlex]

"casual observer" - hey, come on, that car is more pristine than the ones you pick up from the factory in Sweden!

[@kschrop]

The minute I saw this posted, I couldn't wait to watch it before bed lol. Thank you Guru! 👊

[@IKhanNot]

These videos are good for stress relief. Had a busy 2 weeks and now things are quiet again. These videos help that much more.

[@M-E-G-A]

I really don’t like that type of carpeting. It’s woven is difficult to clean. It’s a time muncher.

[@GHOSTSMUTTS]

😂😂😂 is this your bedroom voice mrs must love it

[@delmarpasirens]

The one thing I'll always hate as a detailer is carpets. I swear they were all made to be frustrating.

[@christianluff]

Great stuff, I love your in-depth, no nonsense, no music stuff. Always good to watch a master of his craft at work.

[@hermanmunster3358]

That non leather material on the seats is called "T-Tec" I think. At least on other R-Design models it is anyway. But it has a reputation for wearing and tearing away from the leather, especially for the fatter arsed owners of R-Design cars. But you being more athletically built, might escape that nightmare. But me being a more hefty build, avoided the R-Design V50, and went for an SE model instead, with full leather seats, which should outlast my ownership of the car. I plan on moving up to a V70 after a couple of years of ragging this compact D5 estate around, as it is a tad small for my needs. But great fun to drive nonetheless. So I will have my fun, and pass it on for the next first time Volvo owner presumably. I love your C30 btw, and if I didn't need a load lugger, would definitely have considered one.

[@BratSimpson]

You care more about car detailing than I care about anything in my life.

[@jaspersbloke]

Just switched from a V50 to a MKIII Focus and am yet to tackle that (dealer actually did a decent job on the interior gasp!) but I can tell you that compared to my wife’s Peugeot, Volvo carpet is a dream to work on. The Peugeot stuff is more like a hairy version of a washing up scouring pad, vacuuming does nothing, brushing does nothing. Key to the Volvo carpet is to do it regularly and not let it accumulate, switch between a crevice tool, brush and upholstery tool and if you have a decent wet/dry vac with a blower function it will help to loosen anything that doesn’t want to be sucked up. Genuine Volvo rubber mats are a must, really good quality and not expensive, I paid £35 for a set of 4 from a dealership.

[@tredfxman]

Anyone know this guys name? Wonderful video as always Sir! :)

[@Thebsmcmist]

It's almost like watching an episode of Bob Ross... plus, my c30 is probably jealous :)

[@YanisKyr]

Excellent video skills, as always! Can I ask what window cleaner do you use?

[@chrisimer8035]

It looks great guru. Having a BMW . Using BMW leather care cream that comes in a spray bottle dose a excellent job after using there leather care cleanser. Chris from Australia

[@nopenada8071]

I’m just getting ready. Just purchased an 09 C30 T5. Very excited.

[@AtlanticBlack]

Praise should sound where praise is due :) Very good job and always a pleasure watching a craftsman excel at his job.

[@Mike_5]

i bet your missus has banned you from doing the house cleaning......tasty car though for your work T5 always puts a smile on the drivers face

[@fossyfossfoss]

couldn't agree more !!!! I'm a an autofinesse devotee , but they all use shitty crappy triggers that let you down , total after thought me thinks plus cheap , even worse with tar removers etc solvent's. how can I contact you for car cleaning ? about the only person I would trust to touch my pride and joys .

[@fernandoprpinheiro]

Best detail car clean on the web, oddly inspiring and relaxing videos Actually every time o clean my car o feel the same, such a satisfaction. Great job!

[@josephbartolome9920]

Im so motivated to clean my car now! Even tho its raining outside hahaha!!!

[@KatyBauer1]

I had a similar problem with the sprayer on a Chemical Guys product. I literally squeezed the trigger twice and it broke. I had to transfer the product into another spray bottle.

[@WaffleDragon]

I wouldn't defend your 'excessive' cleaning to the audience. I would be doing the same thing if it was my car. I detail trade-ins for a dealership and we clean each car 'good enough' to resell. There isn't a single one I've sent out that would be 'good enough' if it was going to be my car.

[@jtsoutdoorsandmore8136]

Great video bro . just a quick tip.....mink oil and a little elbow grease moisturizes the leather and brings even the most beat down leather back to life .

[@Gunma_garage]

Top 3 car youtubers for me. Awesome work..love your attention to detIl and of coarse that sick tat work mate! Cheers

[@th-l8936]

I know exactly what you mean about the vacuum and the crevice tool - I have an S40 (same interior) and its a pain to hoover & clean 😂

[@jamescmartinjr7249]

I have that same killer black carpet in my VW GLI. I understand the pain you had and sadly will have.

[@sticksman7819]

Lovely car and great in-depth video.Also really like the Mr Barlow Tat!

[@theedge00123]

Can you give me some pointers on how to clean a stain on my V40's passenger seat, it's the "alcantara" and leather seat, from the 2013 model year, the satin is in the alcantara part, a massive brown spot that i have no idea what is

[@convergecult]

Hey Guru, I'm a mobile detailer without a van and currently use my trusty 3 door Megane 3 for work, would love to see how you load up the guru mobile! Cheers!

[@flemmingjensen3202]

Me too... I fill the boot of my Citroën Xsara (and 1 or 2 of the footwells) for outgoing jobs.

[@raycompton1955]

Can I ask a quick question. If I’ve bought a car that has been treated with Gen 3 Glasscoat can I still wash it in the same way you do ?

[@freak227z]

did you clean the shiftknob......... It may be the warm wheather here but I have to clean the windshield twice because glass cleaner of several brands fail to get it right on the first time so is one with water and later with glass cleaner to avoid greasy residues of a withe film result of the car closed under sun light

[@pinkieandrainbow]

ive got a c30 with a fabric boot cover but its grimy and looks bad, what would you suggest i use to clean it without damaging it?

[@AudiS4B7]

+1 on the sprayer issue, they are pretty feeble and I tend to move on though, but not before complaining! on the seat with the liquid leather, if the car has heated seats fire them up and let the product soak in, repeat a couple of times for true feeding of the leather

[@SGM260190]

Any tips for cleaning interior glass? I can never seem to get rid of the microscopic dust particles, even with a lint free cloth.

[@SsgtHolland]

For someone sporting a few scary clowns, you, Sir, are most certainly not clowning around.

[@jamiecommon6463]

That vacuum looks amazing.i really need to invest in a proper one. I just use a vac at the moment

[@MP-Fin]

Numatic Charles is the one he uses.

[@liamcharity3271]

Word of advice don't hang the air freshener on the indicator it ruins the plastic on the steering colum from the residue

[@JAN-jd8mn]

Good...

[@stockprerunner5277]

what was the name of the spray you used on the seat? i need to get some for my volvo. i have that fake leather and cloth what would clean it the best?

[@chrismayer3919]

That C30 must look like a million pounds with you as its owner!

[@stevehughes7224]

What's the best product to clean the steering wheel? Mine is now shiny and I want to take it back to matt

[@kristoferramkisson61]

I wonder if Guru is this meticulous with household chores too

[@blakebias9515]

Have you ever had buttons or trim come off when detailing?

[@gjddirjk]

Do you think it is possible to buy all the stuff to detail a car for £50?

[@lfcmarkeb7124]

oddly enough there's a fair chance I made that centre console lol..

[@steviewonder2049]

Car Cleaning Guru has a small softie..for cleaning his pedals

[@fossilfueled27]

I'm really surprised Volvo used that shyte carpet (straight out of a Ford I might add) - all Volvos I've ever cleaned have lovely plush carpets. I suppose the C30 is the unfortunate exception.

[@xrperfect9198]

That relaxing voice

[@whitesnoopdogg7160]

Funny how youtubes subtitles see his vacuums sound as music haha

[@rockhills]

You should consider Weathertech floor mats.

[@chrisimer8035]

Guru guy what is your name . Chris from Australia

[@1338-c9s]

In my golf gti mk7 , the worst thing that can happen is when coins fall between the seat and center console/ door and manage to wedge themselves under the seat railing. 😡😡😡 I have atleast 3$ worth of coins trapped under there

[@CarCleaningGuru]

This is how I secretly make my millions vacuuming them up from customers cars then emptying the bag like a little sack of gold ;)

[@1338-c9s]

Car Cleaning Guru hahaha I figured you would

[@kpoe2000]

It’s like you hear me when I say “you missed a spot”

[@mikeleijenaar7866]

Is that a finyl wrap on the waterfal dashboard??

[@barney9008]

what a sexy coloured van at the beginning

[@rogernasiols]

Congratulations on the new car. Enjoy it.

[@dickie8184]

Just purchased a c30 so interesting to see.

[@stevenjervis1184]

I had a Saab 9-3 and the quality of the carpet was great.our Volvo S40 Rdesign carpet feels cheap

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Such a shame old Volvo carpets used to be the best in the business!

[@barrym6067]

CCG and ammo NYC... Who needs Sri's.

[@scarr998]

Please could you do a guide for looking after matte paint finishes. I've just bought a Honda CBR500r in matte black and I have no idea what waxes I can use to create a hydrophobic coating so water beads off. Your videos are great, keep up the good work. Cheers.

[@CarCleaningGuru]

I'm planning on having my wheels redone in satin black so if/when that happens I could do something about how to best look after those kinds of finish.

[@ManMonkey600]

Nice video. I just purchased a 2013 Volvo C30 in the states and it must be a Volvo C30 owner thing but these cars seem to always be well maintained and cared for. I still haven't given mine a real good cleaning like you did here. But it is very clean inside and looks way better then most cars that are 8 years old.

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Yeh Volvo owners are definitely less trampy than others!
