Amazing result, well done!!, this lovely example of a second generation pre facelift Fabia looked amazing after the detail, the interior fabric cleaned up well too, a testament to Škoda’s durable build quality!!.
I hate those “disaster detail” videos where every one is the “worst ever”. We get it, US moms who drive giant minivans and feed their kids in the car with a diet of McDonalds and candy are disgusting but a lot of time and the standard detailing processes can sort them out. Water damage and mould, that’s truly a challenge. I like your videos because there’s no hyperbole, it’s obvious your work saves cars that in some cases would be scrapped
I like the fact you have a good working knowledge of car mechanics. It add’s a lot more context and understanding to the detail. As opposed to other ‘valeters’ who are simply cleaning, not knowing how this interlinks with the greater picture of caring for the car.
Great video, thanks for posting. The way you said the word "disgraceful" when describing the condition of the rear seat bench made me laugh out loud! It left absolutely no doubt about what you thought about the state of it lol 😆
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. I can’t believe what you are able to achieve with these tired and neglected cars. They all get a chance to have a 2nd life with someone who will love and respect them. Keep up the great work saving these cars.
I have a recommendation, friend. I used to decon and restore disasters that ranged from water damages to crime scenes and always used a product to disinfect called Microban. Idk if it's available where you are but it's here in the States. I highly recommend it for something like this if you can get it because it is the TRUTH. There are several different ones, but the blue labeled one is what you want as it won't damage textiles, but kills everything else. Use it to spray EVERYTHING before you clean it so you don't cross-contaminate. It's kind of pricey but worth the cost and will last forever. Then, after you wet clean it, run an ozone machine inside the car for about 30 minutes with the AC on. That will kill any mold spores in the air system and throughout the car. I know it wasn't easy but you did great work on that car. Good luck in the future, brother.
Just coming here again to say thanks for all your advice about my sisters car! I mostly fixed the paint work so it looks a lot better, it was the bonnet that was really bad with a white square on the bonnet full of scratches and now it’s black again. It looks 10 times better but isn’t perfect but She’s happy and so am I. It took me 3 hours to do it making pass after pass to get it uniform as it was really bad. I will do my own car next to get rid of the water marks and light scratches caused by bushes. You’re a great detailer and have helped me massively.
I find if I don't clean the groves where the windows wind up into, next time it rains or they get wet and need to be closed they open again dirty with all that dirt in there stuck to them. Supprising how dirty they are also. Thanks for the great channel, always a pleasure to watch.
Another great cleaning video,you worked your magic on this one,what a difference before and after,the seats seem a right nightmare to clean but now look at them.
Just started to watch your channel, what a refreshing change to listen to a narration that's concise & to the point. Thorough detailing, great result considering condition of interior.
With that much grot and water damage I was expecting it to be an insurance flood write-off. Not a school run daily driver! That's shocking. Truly brilliant job done on the seats, well all of it, as ever. Your product review idea is definitely something I'd like to watch.
Thanks Steve 👍😁 Have wanted to do reviews of my kits as a lot of people ask .. but want to make sure anything I did , gets a Genuine (non paid) review 👍
My mom bought a 2013 skoda fabia brand new like 7-8 years ago and we're 7 in the family and I cant tell you how hideous the car seats were she got them detailed ofc. thankfully we grown up since then and those seats still look brand new from then on 😁
Hi I'm new to tour channel. Although I'm not a car owner I love watching detailing videos. It was nice to find a UK detailing video. (I'm in Nottingham, ) . Am enjoying the videos. Keep up the good work. 😘
I honestly can't believe you do all that work for £150, any car dealer would snap you up. Great video, enjoy watching you. Look forward to the new channel. Thanks mate 👍
Those seats made a lot of work for you! I was so fortunate that the two parts of my Vivaro seat that needed cleaning were easily removed to throw in the washing machine.
I think you excelled in this one. That interior looked, at the start to be as good as ruined. - complete with mould spores. Yuk! I've said as much before, but these owners should be banished to a life of taking the Bus! Brilliant channel & great content 👍
The problem with wetting seat fabric to this degree is that it causes the seat foams degrade and fall to bits much quicker but on a car this dirty shy of replacing the seats from a scrap car it's the best you can do.
Stunning turnover, few suggestions for new products: - Opti-Seal as interior glass cleaner (Spread with applicator, wipe off with towel) - AngelWax Vision Glass Cleaner, for exterior glass but also interior glass. - TheRagCompany FTW towel for glass. These twist loop towels are amazing. - Nathan Flannel Rotary Seat Cleaning Method (Google) - RUPES UNO - OPT GPS I would like to see all of those!
Thanks Rik I've been using Rupes Uno initial reaction is it's very easy to apply and remove, I have screen grabbed your list for future reference 👍thanks for taking the time to leave input 😀
Another great job well done Phil, what a transformation to that interior! I apologise if I missed it but I didn't catch which compound and pad combo you used, usually you share those details
Glad you enjoyed it koch chemie H9 yellow chem guys cutting pad 😀👍 one pass wonder on this due to the budget being mainly on the inside, as you can understand 👍
@@everydaydetailing6449 yep totally understand, h9 actually finishes down surprisingly well. It's pretty unbeatable with a microfiber pad for heavy defect removal, mind you do usuallly need a finishing pass with m3/foam pad combo or similar after using a microfiber to cut. For the budget it's a fantastic effort. Looking forward to the next one!
Well Well look's who back, Awesome job and a true all rounder detailer Inteior, engine bay, wheels, paint correction. Ps, What do you do in your spare time? Hobbies 👍
Thanks sausages 👍😁 I all honesty You tube is my hobby ... takes me on average 2 days to film/clean the car/can then be another 10-12 hours editing etc! But great fun plus I get to chat to cool people like yourself 👍😁 also has a new camera on approach 😎
@@everydaydetailing6449 Thank's Mate for the kind words, You hit the nail on the head with your comments About other so called detailers with the planting of food and rubbish. Im my opinion they are YT car cleaners part time of course and you are full time detailer 5 days A week for how many year's since the 90s i think you said. 💪
Every Day Detailing i px’d a metro once that was so bad my boss wanted me to make the customer take it back. He was going to make me clean it myself. In a fit of pique i bought it off him spent my weekend off doing it up and sold it for 500 quid profit. It’s what started me dealing my own stuff every now and then.
Wow very nice work! What a difference! I myself use Stjarnagloss products on my 14 year old car, keeps it looking it's best! Love watching your videos!!!
Another great video! Tip for the bubblegum is to use a steam cleaner. I saw Detail Geek do it and gave it a go on some I couldn't shift and it got it right off!
@@everydaydetailing6449 you're welcome! I also meant to add that I completely agree with you on using Surfex HD for the upholstery cleaning, nothing comes close does it. And if it's bad you can always step it up in strength. I can totally see why you put the other product in the tank too, especially as Surfex doesn't have much aroma.
@@everydaydetailing6449 it really I mean my car is 17 years and by no means show room condition but I couldn't drive anything that was like that inside had a van at work that had been parked up throughout winter and I steam cleaned that before I even sat in it,
As usual I had to ask someone to pick my jaw up from the floor - both for how disgusting that car was and then for how you transformed it! Had I not seen this video I’d be convinced it was another car! Thanks for the awesome video!
Mine did the same in the spare wheel well. Passenger side seal but it’s the one behind the bumper like some sort of vent. Couldn’t be bothered to fix it properly so just wedged a load of plumbers mait around the top of the perished seal and it’s all good
Hi, good video mate. But I have a question. isn't the black mold staying inside the seat? If you spray it with soap or anything isn't the mold going inside the seat? Or is the mold just on the top layer?
New subscriber here.... What an awful car. How do folk let their cars get like that?? Disgusting! But superb work and brilliant results. I agree that product tests and reviews would be good to see. Looking forward to seeing more of your hard work 👍🏼👍🏼
Your customers are fortunate to have you to depend on.... It would be interesting if you told how many hours at the end of each job...it might be hard because you're doing the video and moving the camera around....I always enjoy your videos...thanks..
Good aproach to test different products on these really messy cars to help us finding good/valuable products. The cars I use to clean are far away from this shape so I just use the apc in the pump bottle, spray and brush and clean it with only water in the vacwasher afterwards. Btw. Did I overlook it or is the ceiling missed to be cleaned?
I am really looking forward to your product details video. Also you asked for comments on 'are the videos long enough'? I think perfect, the AMMO NYC channel is on the OCD spectrum and sometimes too long, entertainment however nothing to really take away and use at home. I would really like to know where to getting your products? Also a video on the difference between a Halford and a really good auto factors products. Also do you wash your microfiber clothes or throw them away after one use like AMMO chap?? Message me back if you like more comments, only found you 2 days ago, however I'm lovin it. 👍👍👍👍
Hi Sabastian Due to cleaning older cars the micro fiber cloths get washed and re used, from my understanding if you use them to remove ceramic coatings then it may be different. I may do a off the shelf Halford style car cleaning video, thanks for the input 👍😀
Great video the car looks amazing now! Weird question but after you cleaned it did the horrible smell disappear? Or is there always going to be a lingering bad smell that will hopefully just disappear after time.
We have holes under the spare wheel in every Skoda :D in Felicia, Fabia mk1 and mk2, Octavia and i think Rapid wont take long and there will be hole drilled too 😂 but these cars are great and if u take just little care, they will hold and get you everywhere
