Everyone needs a helping hand from time to time and I was honoured to be able to help the owner out, even if it's in a small way. Do me a favour, hit the thumbs up button, share the video with a friend and subscribe if you haven't yet!

@matthewshepherd5390 if he's part of reforestation efforts, he could easily have been part of a group using tree planting equipment that plants a bunch of trees per minute.
Funfact: Mass planting thousands of trees creates harmful monocultures that are less complex than natural forest ecosystems. Monocultures do not properly support wildlife, they limit biodiversity and they are more susceptible to wildfires and disease. Not to mention trees mass planted closely together will compete for sunlight and nutrients, which makes them even more susceptible to disease and drought. Tree restoration efforts can be done right, but mass planting like this is bad.
My dude is out there trying to help all life on the planet. Sleeping and eating in a car, what a Chad. We also know that he doesn't litter which also makes him a hero.
This isn't a "helping in a small way". This is lifechanging for someone. You've got one amazing soul in you and this world would be a whole lot better if there were more like you in it. Well done good sir!
Amazing job on the car, l am 99% sure this is one of my best friends cars. I recognize the car and that very distinct brach on the dash. He is an amazing tree planter and very kind hard working loving person.
Life is getting harder for a lot of people. It's easy to judge. Helping is harder. I understand owners who don't want to be filmed because sadly nowadays that can have bad repercussions in unexpected ways...😞 Thanks for uploading.
There’s that big heart of yours Mitch, cleaning this car for free to help someone get ahead in life. I live in Alberta, have been to Jasper many times and I’m amazed he was on some of those roads. I’m thankful to him for planting the trees and thankful to you for sharing this video. You made my Friday!
As someone who suffers from depression and takes medicine for it. Cleaning my car or my house really helps get my mind right. Great job Mitch! I'm sure they really appreciated the detail 😊
I always appreciate how you approach every vehicle exactly the same and treat each situation with respect and dignity. We never know someone's struggles and it's so easy to be judgmental. These are a few of the myriad of reasons I watch every one of your videos. Keep up the great work Mitch!
Agree completely. As someone who always keeps their car pretty clean, I hate when I see comments on these videos saying "the way someone keeps their car says a lot about them" or "imagine what their house looks like", as if they're immediately a bad or gross person for having a dirty car. You never know what someone is going through, you don't even KNOW them.
@@mariamaria2751 I understand. I’m not homeless and will never be as long as my children are alive but knowing how much harder it has become to make ends meet. Both my husband and I are retired so living on a fixed income in an economy has increased as much as 50% in some areas like groceries and utilities. My prayers are with you.
Support for the community should allways be a priority especially for ppl who struggle with in. Reach out for help, give your best at all times. Bless you for what you do.
I know how tempting it would have been to dispose of the “obvious” trash. It shows a great deal of respect for your customer when you adhere to their wishes, down to the very last gum wrapper. What amazing compassion you have.
Agreed!! And that the brother in law wanted that respected. i would have maybe just separated everything that was clothes and shoes. The owner could then have it all easily cleaned/washed them.
And to anyone wondering why one would need “obvious trash” sometimes a box something came in or something like that is useful. And then of course there’s sentimental value to some stuff.
I'm still watching the video. However, I just wanna pause and say, that story really touched me. We all struggle at some point. Be it financially, mentally, physically. However, the kindness and compassion of others really goes a long way. I certainly wouldn't be here if it weren't for that. So this was a wonderful thing you did. Best of luck to the owner of this vehicle in the future too. Oh and thank you for helping the earth 🌎 ❤
The tuck tape was needed again. That stuff is great. The exterior and engine clean were so good. I always enjoy the shot of you going down the side of the panel with the wash mitt. The inside was so severe. I guess this is where he lives for the time he's working planting trees. I have carried the saplings in a bucket and a shovel to plant trees. It is exhausting work. 4 giant bags of interior contents was a lot. You did a great job on the interior, both the seats and the carpet. The steamer is really your buddy and works so well. I really like the product badge in the left bottom corner that tells us what product is being used at the time. VERY SMART. The reaction of the BIL at the end was so sweet. They know the owner has difficulties but are sure supportive of him and that shows love. Your cleanup of this car for FREE, really shows your character and kindness. We all have some bumps in the road as we live our lives and help is available. Thanks for pointing that out again. Have a wonderful weekend knowing how proud of you we all are and how much we admire you. 💜
Hi Joel, I am happy you are here. They are a pleasure to see that the car looks different transformation. Mitch is kind a big heart to help concern for others. Have a great weekend, my friend. Take care. 😊
Thanks Joel! This was a special one for sure and I was honoured to have been able to help out. Cant imagine planting 6,000 trees in a day, that’s crazy! Have a great weekend!
Hoarders have to go through a process of counseling and training their brain to learn how to throw stuff away that they do not need to keep. If it is untreated, it will quickly go back to what it looked like at the beginning of the video. This requires professional help. Other videos, people just don’t care about how their vehicle is. Great work!
they may not even be a hoarder though, they could have just said just put everything in a bag and he can go through it and sort it himself, incase there was something he needed, or had some significance.
@@slythewicked9403 Get informed about hoarding - it's 100% what it is, and he's going to throw away a ridiculously small amount of stuff if he doesn't get professional help
Being of service is one of the most important things that we can do as human beings! Cheers to you Mitch for being of service, and what a transformation! Prayers to the owners that things turn around for them. Happy Friday folks!
When I saw that picture a few days ago, I knew this video was going to be legendary. The Infiniti has turned out great. You are such a kind and wholesome person for doing that for that man! Have a nice weekend!
With someone who has struggled with addiction and because of that my mental health was pretty low I’m still struggling with a lot I’m on methadone and off street drugs completely I’m just telling you this so that I can say that you sir are an amazing person and when you said you were happy to do this for free in order to help this man in a little way I’m here to tell you that this kind act is so much bigger than you would ever imagine I don’t know the man’s story and have no clue why he is living in his car be it by choice or by some unknown circumstances when you’re mental health is very bad it shows by body appearances and by the very way you live and trust me this being fresh just may give him the boast he needs to turn it all around because no matter what if you were blessed with the opportunity to wake up this morning you have the opportunity to become better than yesterday it’s not over until they throw dirt on you be it addiction or just plain mental health we do recover don’t ever forget that
That Goo Gone really works! My son one day decided to prop his bicycle tire rim against the side of the house and spray paint it 🤦🏻♀️ a nice big black circle on tan paint. A gentleman at the hardware store suggested Goo Gone and it took it right off. We had literally had it painted about two weeks before. GG saved the day! Lol
You’re doing a great job! A clean car gives you a clean mind, and you’re definitely helping to promote that, regardless of whether that car will stay that way or not after you’ve finished. Thank you 👊🏼💪🏼
In the UK we have a laundry stain remover called Vanish Oxi Action that comes in a very bright pink tub. Vanish + lemon juice + time can remove nearly anything. The ONLY thing it ever failed me on was black hair dye on cream carpet (in fairness, it took me a few hours to notice that stain...).
20:58 red stains hair too and is very hard to get out. have you tried removers meant for laundry? the shout stain remover in the gel with the scrubby cap has taken out just about every stain I've ever put it on (including blood stains)
I work for my local food pantry we give boxes of food clothing bath products baby food etc it is a great feeling to help those in need and there reaction is priceless
FYI: Fellow YTer, The Clean Club, a drycleaner uses OxiClean (whitening) to get out old stains. I tried on my white wash cloths, Yes! It needs TIME to work. Perhaps you could steam stubborn stains, put a paste of Oxi over & let sit while you clean other areas. This may up your detail game. 😉 Also, if you find ballpoint ink won't come out, douse with hairspray, rub out & clean.
@@beautifulvictory9683 I showed my handyman the hairspray secret and now he carries a can around with him. He had marked a tile install and couldn't get the marks off, had to pay out of pocket to reinstall, but saved the marked tiles. Used it on the marked tiles and voilà, good as new! He was both happy and sad. Lol
I kept showing my husband u using your high pressure steam cleaner & he bought me one!! It’s amazing on so many things around the house!!! Great job & so kind on this project!
The sheer amount of stuff you kept pulling out of all the storage spaces was absolutely unbelievable. You are a true professional and a good-hearted man.
20:12 Oxi Clean. Get some of that for red stains. A little back story now. Had some friends over, they got really drunk, one was so trashed she was spilling beer all over my brand new couch. I tried to stop her by just taking her beer bottle away and she hit me in the nose with it. I started bleeding all over the carpet, really badly. I got light headed. Next day I tried getting the blood stains out. I tried everything. Tide, bleach, 409, glass cleaner, all purpose cleaner, degreaser. I tried something new or mixed stuff over a period of a month. I had given up. Then I saw a commercial for Oxi Clean. Went to the store and got some. It was a powder you mixed with really hot water. The blood stains started coming out immediately. All of it came out and you couldn't tell I had ever had an accident. That was 24 years ago. Hopefully they still make it. I haven't bled all over my carpet since that night.
What you did is not “small” in any way! It’s MASSIVE. You have a genuine heart and are a shining soul. The BIL and sister are phenomenal and showed just how much they love this man, unconditionally. Going into any situation that is horrific causes so much suffering and absolute chaos to the brain. This man went away from home, lived in his car to help others. What a remarkable man. I’m not easily moved but acts of pure kindness always makes my eyes sweat a bit. Bless all of you, you make the world a better place everyday. 💚🙏🍀
My husband work vehicle gets coated in bugs daily. We didn't have a pressure washer to get most of the bugs off or any proper bug spray so when we washed it, the paint was coming off with the bugs. I told him that I'd have to get some bug remover for next time or he needs to take his work vehicle to a car wash weekly
Thank you to the owner of the car for his help with the jasper fires. Im from calgary alberta and the smoke and fires have been brutal, big thanks to this guy for your part in helping our province recover
Hearing where the owner was and why he was there explains the dirt in and on the car. As for some of the objects, I have a rock collection and also had a few interesting looking sticks for a while. I recently added a feather from one of the crows at work. I feed them and they know me and my truck.
20:33 Have you tried "Pink Solution" When I worked for the original owners / creators back in the 90's I used it to clean a lot of things, and I dont remember anything it could not remove, blood, red wine, and red Kool-Aid were no match for it, as well as engine grease, brake dust, etc. etc. it has since moved & under new owners, and I haven't used the "new". But its worth a shot..
Awesome job! Love the variance in music and the reaction at the end. Love it when you are able to get them. I know I never judge the mess maker. I just want them to be able to exist in a clean space again and it’s nice to see you help make that happen. Also, I was watching you before this, but Midwest Magic Cleaning gave you a shoutout last week!
Ammonia and steam usually works well for me, I have to deal with stains in carpets in my housekeeping business. Saturate with ammonia let it set a couple of minutes agitation, then steam then extract.
I've been waiting for this since I saw the preview photo!! Going to grab my coffee and watch the transformation. Happy Friday DG Nation! Hope everyone is well and has the best weekend. 😃
Jennifer, nice to see you. What stamina, Mitch works so rough working and cleaning for the homeless. He is so sweet and kind in his heart and he helps him free. Have a beautiful weekend, my friend. Take care. 😊❤
*At times like these inflation can be tough for people and they end up losing their houses and living in cars due to the amount of money they have to pay but you detailing this car for this guy was a life changer for him nice job at helping him out now he can live a happy life again with a fresh car!*
Greek? No perhaps some Italian. 😂 Claims he's Scottish, looks Asian,but also Ukraine & Romania.. I think I should just label him a Heinz57.😂 I think u meant 2 say Detail Geek.❤😊
Thank you for doing cleaning this person's car which is obviously very important to him. It was smart to bag all the trash and other items. The owner needs to go through this process themselves. Maybe each rock is from a place he completed work, who knows. but now that he has a clean car he can work to put his life in order beginning with the four bags of things/trash. Prayer of thanks for you and prayers of growth for the owner.
Hi Shannon, the homeless had struggled to live in the car. It made me heartbroken. Mitch is a tough and excellent job. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend. Take care😊
If the owner of this vehicle has a hoarding issue- throwing out their stuff is traumatic and adds to their anxiety. Which is why helping such people is tricky. It means addressing the root of such troubles and is a choice each person has to make for themselves.
I gotta say, even when I myself was down on my luck and ended up living in my vehicle, I never let it get to this state. It seems like every day I found myself clearing out all the trash, vacuuming, reorganizing my personal items and wiping down all the surfaces. I don’t mean to compare my experience to that of someone else’s, but in my opinion you should always make time to tidy up your surroundings, even it isn’t much. Just because you’re in a rough situation, doesn’t mean you have to live like this
He clearly has some sort of hoarding disorder. Even if you didn’t mean to you are comparing your experience to someone else’s and that shames him and others like him who are already suffering and don’t need to feel worse about themselves. I am glad you were able to clean but many aren’t and we shouldn’t judge unless we have been in their exact situation and even then it is not helpful or productive and only serves to harm the person struggling.
You are right and you were respectable even living in your car. I imagine it helped to also not draw attention to yourself. I can tell the people who have never dealt with a hoarder commenting here. The owner of the car will have it looking like trash again, unlike you who were clean and neat despite your circumstance. I think it was also a step forward. You are to be admired, well done!
I've been watching your channel for years, but it's been a while since I've last watched one of your detailing videos. I'm amazed on how you continue to improve your content and video quality after all these years. The smooth transitions between before and afters is such a subtle but satisfying detail (lol). Keep up the great work Mitch!
Not only was it their home, the guy was out participating in a reforestation effort. I'm glad they put everything aside to focus on it, we wouldn't have this vid if they didn't too.
