Be Like Mike and Get Honey for FREE today! ▸ joinhoney.com/detailgeek What an absolutely INCREDIBLE transformation!! That's a detail I won't ever forget! Have a great weekend guys!
I dunno but likely. Seems like folks are bringing in the worst of the worst lately. It's like they thrown down the challenge gauntlet for DG. Up for the challenge.
In Texas the best way I found to remove mud off of my frame is to go to this river south of Dallas and it’s perfect for burnouts and it cleans my frame but not everyone is lucky as us Texans
I used to own an auto detail business some 20 years ago. Still to this day, throughly cleaning a vehicle and making it look better than the day it rolled off the lot, relaxes me beyond belief. I had a stressful day today and your video, beginning to end, took all the stress away as if I was cleaning that truck myself. Awesome work.
Hi Kevin, I'm trying to assist my younger brother and set him up with a detailing business he can do while his finishing his studies, could you assist with a breakdown of how you charged for your service. Would really appreciate any assistance. Thank you in advance.
@@clemradio I have met some of the most insane freaks in London Ontario. I had a random dude pull a knife on me. I have been to a lot of places in Ontario and Quebec and had the most issues with insane goofs in Ontario.
@@MarkfromNewYork ok yeah I can imagine that. What I meant is Canadians are a tiny bit more polite, but it’s a clone of the US. From a European pov at least, Canadians do not realize how a copy of the US they are. (I exclude Quebec from Canada here because it’s a completely different context, starting with the language.)
I always feel like the owners are underwhelmed at these unbelievable transformations. Especially the interior,I would have freaked out at how great it came out.
Outside of the dirt, I can't believe how much rust is in there too underneath the truck. I'm sure if the cars could talk they would say how much better they feel.
okay, so hear me out. ive been detailing for a couple years now, and one of my favorite transformations are the engine bays. nobody ever seems to focus on them, and they can easily be a selling point. do you do them? if so, any chance you could start putting them in videos? I absolutely love your work, and have been a subscriber for a couple years now. keep up the great work!
He's included them a few times when the customer asks for it. On his other channel, Detail Geek 2, he has a couple of engine bay videos under tutorials.
You do such quality work, charging his battery, attention to detail, it’s all very nice. I keep my truck fairly close to spotless but I often wonder how much better it’d look if I took it to someone like you 😂
I bought everything in your shop I used it to detail on my cars they turned out beautiful they turned out like they came out of the dealership after looking at the results in them I almost cried in tears of joy
Absolutely nothing but the utmost respect for Mitch!! His passion, care and drive for detailng is second to none!! Detail Geek ✋🏽 ⬇️ is the best YT detaling channel in the game!! This is a HOF detail right here!!
I feel like this transformation is a testament to the process you've developed over the years. I thought there was no way the Truck could look as good as it did by the end, but you followed the same steps you always do (perhaps with a bit more elbow grease than usual), and it came out looking great (considering the condition of the vehicle). Really well done, as always! 👏
I am a student in CSU Fresno, i bought a 30 year old truck for like 2.5k a few months back, it is a Ford F 350, that truck is 14 years older than I am, i am a first year student, i still take care of it so much, i almost wash it everyday and keep the interiors clean, i also bought some expensive car freshners for it, the bad boy works like a charm
It shows what kind of person you are. You appreciate that vehicle. The owner of this truck just treats it like a disposable truck. Probably making big payments on it.
i think that truck was dirt cheep because it was under water..you can tell by the amount of mud in the rear frame..musta had a boat attached and it fell/reversed into the dock/water...you can tell also by the amount of mud inside the tail lights..
@Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him you are honestly the type of person that I avoid at all costs. Thanks for your preaching, but for me, I already know where I'm going
A wee tip I learned was for really sandy or dirty carpets, put an orbital sander on the floor without sandpaper on it, the vibrations agitate the dirt and makes it so much easier to vacuum.
Yep we used one but I usually get whatever loose dirt is there and then use a foaming carpet cleaner and let it soak a little then run the orbital over it a few times before I vacuum it a second time. Makes a huge difference and really freshens up the carpet especially if there is discoloration from mud or salt.
Word is out, if you own a mobile disaster take it to The Detail Geek! This one was mind bending, talk about a dirty interior! Glad you love a challenge, this was more of a miracle. Great job, simply superior!
I’m happy for the owner of this truck the best thing he could’ve done was bring it to you straight away. Sounds like you got a great deal and I’m sure you made it look great. I haven’t even got done watching the video yet. Looking forward to the end.
Man, you definitely have a Ph.D in car cleaning back in college I used to think that my care interior was very dirty but after watching your videos mine was spotless clean. Regards from Cairo, Egypt
After seeing the driver's side wheel-well and all that mud, I was really looking forward to you Bissel-ing the hell out of it. Bummer. Bet the original owner is kicking himself now: he could have cleaned it up and sold it for a lot more! You truly are a miracle-worker.
What? How? What? I am speechless. How? How you did that ( even tho we have just watched) I still have absolutely no idea how you did that. It looks absolutely incredible, wow! Wow! I also love the fact no matter what the truck, car , age or condition you treat it with the same respect and it’s incredible to watch
@@taylorhalliday9011 it goes in a huge plastic container like the ones on cordless vacuums. Then I think he just empty’s it in the bin. Somewhere on his channel is a garage tour and he shows it all in there.
Moral of the story: have a proper detailer work over your car before you sell it. A few hundred bucks of professional work could net you thousands in resale value.
As dirty as this truck is, it makes me glad to see it so muddy before cleaning. This was a real work truck, and the new owner also intends to use it that way. Way too many people buy F-150s just to look “cool” and “manly,” then use it on nothing but picking up groceries, parking badly and revving at traffic lights. It’s an expensive, powerful, gas-guzzling truck and should be used as such.
My goodness: I don't know how I missed this video, 1 year ago, but I have just seen it and that Ford truck cleaned up beautifully. Excellent job Mitch.
I’ve officially become addicted to these videos. It’s so satisfying to see this guy clean these vehicles to make sure that they look their best when he’s done with them. Incredible work indeed.
Questionnnn... What were some of your most memorable "rookie" mistakes when you were just starting out and how did you handle those mistakes? Very nice video!!!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️
I’m new on here and catching up on all these videos and I’m so hooked! You’ve probably answered this question, but how do you dry the seats and carpets and how long does it take? I’m so amazed how clean you get these vehicles. They look new again! - watching from Lake Wales, Florida
I wish you would show the extraction of the drivers floor since that is typically the nastiest piece of carpet in the vehicle. Really enjoy your vids though and really admire your work ethic and attention to detail. Great work.
Yes!! I was so excited to see it and then sad. Also he did not show steaming of the pedals this time too. I think The Detail Geek underestimates how long a video we will watch....
I know that some detailers will pull the whole carpet out and pressure wash it, so I was thinking that would be faster with a carpet this dirty, especially there on the driver’s side. It probably takes longer to dry, though. Extraction can only get so much when the filth is penetrating the carpet to the floor underneath.
I love how you give a used and abused vehicle the same care and attention as a newer, slightly abused one. I don't blame him for wanting it cleaned so he could use it. I wouldn't have wanted to even get in it and drive it home without some PPE. Nice job! One of the other channels I watch based in Ohio said in his video yesterday that he wished the Detail Geek was closer so he could bring you his trucks! He said his son is a fan of your channel.
Oh my gosh Mitch ! In the history of Detail Geek videos I feel this one was the muddiest and most difficult to clean. You really had your hands full on this one. I never saw so much mud on the garage floor. Your fine tools really got a workout today. Whoa man so horrific. Bullets and rifle casings whaaat! Forget cheeseburgers, you deserve a thick steak for this one. Mike was a great addition to the video. He was eating that ice cream like it was frosting. He’s the lazy dude on the computer ordering junk food so he can pass out on the couch while your working your but off. Ooh man the vacuuming job was intense. The doors were filthy. Kudos to you for your immaculate efforts. You my friend have an excellent work ethic.
I honestly didn’t think the carpet would come that clean on the vacuuming. 😱 I thought you might just blast it all out with the pressure washer!🤣🤣🤣💜💜💜 Astounded by this transformation and great client reaction!!! Thanks for sharing this nasty beast with us! And hi to Mike!😁
I like the fact that these videos gives life lessons. No matter how challenging or hopeless the task is, with a little bit of determination and willingness, things can be done. Don't give up guys. Whatever you are going through 😊
I feel a bit bummed that the truck beds of trucks that gets cleaned out get skippped over. Would love to see that too. But wow! Awesome transformation as always!
You should do a video of how you first started ? How you got customers here and their to grow your business? What did you start with? And how did you go about doing it all?
This truck looks a THOUSAND TIMES BETTER than it did when the guy bought it, not just ten times better. WOW!!! My dad used to own a car yard before he retired and I worked there too sometimes, just cleaning the cars for pocket money. I saw some dirty vehicles but nothing like this truck. You did an AWESOME job dude 👏 Love from Amanda in Australia ❤️
I'll be getting my first car soon, just got my permit and working to get a license, and I'm so excited to start detailing it and such! I always love watching car accessories videos and detailers like you and get myself ready watch out for and know what to get/wash.
The Detail Geek should take the award, Mitch you really do amazing jobs on vehicles no matter the condition they are in. You make the old new again. Great work
It's 3am here in New Zealand when these videos come on and I always make sure I'm awake to watch them. So addictive 😍 Always look forward to seeing what each week brings. Highly impressed with your work
Our work trucks all look like this. These trucks make money, they are just tools for the job. I want to clean one for more personal use just looking for ideas. I had no idea it was possible.
Incredible amount of work was needed to turn this truck around…and you delivered, as always. Even recharging the dude’s dead battery! 😊 Impeccable work ethic, Mitch.😊
I detail my family’s vehicles and even did it for awhile for a job. I still can’t believe the integrity you put into each vehicle! You can tell you do this for the start to finish product rather making a quick buck!
Thank you. Im wanting to do this to make side money. Appreciate you putting all the stuff and products and what to use unlike other channels. Appreciate it.
Is it me but when he is vacuuming and he misses this one spot and it just drives me crazy and at the last second he is like haha 😂 gotcha and vacuums it right up and a sudden flow of relief and calming comes over me and I know at that exact moment everything is right in the world
@@jb6712 sounds like you need to worry about yourself and be able to figure out when somebody is saying a funny joke but I expect a keyboard pirate like yourself to understand that a good day sir.
Same! Lol like I stare at it, then he goes back over it and gets the spot, and it's like, ok, we can resume. 🤣 it can't be perfect with a missed spot of dirt hanging out in the middle of the floor. 🤷🏻♀️🤣
The Detail Geek is a car healer. He heals cars. Takes the cars and trucks that are ailing and sick. Turns them back into transformed mechanical beings. And the people who see what things can be like, then makes that real, are visonaries and master craftsman. These people are far and few between. When you see their professional artistry though, you know they belong to a special class of people. Committed. Detailed. Refined. Soulful. Healers.
I truly love watching you clean these insane vehicles! Cleaning for me is such stress relief, so seeing these amazing transformations is what I usually fall asleep too 😅
Your videos inspire me and give me tips on how to keep my personal vehicles looking better. I’m nowhere near a detailer, but with a pressure washer, and the vacuum and spot cleaner you recommend, my cars and trucks look pretty darn good. I’m sure it will help when it comes to trade in or resell them. Thanks!
The one piece of advice I would highly recommend is to watch out when using steam cleaner on door panel speaker covers. The steam could seriously damage the speaker cones, glue separates and creates an issue with speaker.
@@daltex81 and you can always be stupid and ruin the speakers instead of taking 2 minutes to pop off the door panels. that was a seriously brain-dead response.
That steel wheel (driver's rear) worries me. All those weights in one spot is either a defective tire (bad casting) or a bent rim. Outstanding job as always!
Definitely looks to me like they were chasing weights. I wonder if they just lacked heavier weights, or if there’s something wrong with the wheel/tire.
it looks to be a spare and considering you should be driving rarely with it i dont find it to be too much of a problem, couldve been laziness on the tech to not rotate the tire so the light spot of the tire and heavy spot of the wheel meet or vice versa, sometimes you cant put weights on the inside for various reasons and that makes the outer side heavier, sometimes wheels are just garbage, but i think this was a laziness factor to be honest
Just have to say I’ve recently discovered your channel and been binge watching your videos, they’re so relaxing and really help me just chill out. Admire your work, keep it up ☺️
Also another question, watching you do the carpets for hours, til theyre almost new, and then going to steam the dash seems counter productive as the grime then flows, falls, and flies down onto the already cleaned carpets. Do you edit the videos in the exact order in which you perform the detailing? Just curious, as it seems I notice quite a few instances in your videos where gravity alone would predict the order in which you would want to perform your steps. Awesome videos!
I heard him answer this in another vid. He does the dash after because the tool he uses to clean the carpet sprays the debris around in the process. So he does the dash second to avoid having to do it twice
Wow… just wow! I am blown away by the phenomenal work this guy does. He never fails to make even the nastiest looking vehicle look amazing, keep the good stuff coming man👌
I've watched a few of your videos and really enjoyed them. I was wondering, though. How long do you let the carpet and seats dry before putting the interior back together? Also, have you ever had any issues with door speakers or other electronics using your steamer or other products?
He disconnects the battery before doing any cleaning, so the electronics are okay- as long as they have the chance to dry or completely before being electrified again, they should work fine
Holy s*** this guy ALWAYS delivers on making us think, how in the s*** does he pull this off?😁🤙 Brother we love the results and love the channel All the way from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
I love how he just takes his time to clean the car or truck that he has to clean and he tells us the type of car and tells us what is in this is the car. He is such an amazing guy. Thank you for making the world a better replace
Lol I noticed that too! As far as the mismatch goes, that steel one was most likely the spare that was just left on, but yeah I've never seen one THAT far out of balance!
More than likely that wheel has a bent center bore. Uncommon but still an option. I’m guessing that tire size is also a 265/70r17 and I’ve never had a tire call for that much weight being that size with dynamic clip ons.
Man.. your skills never cease to amaze me. I bet there's not many detailers that would have even taken that job on. You really took that truck from zero to hero
