I'm so glad you stripped out the rug / carpet to clean the truck to the metal because I was thinking that is the only way to make sure the bugs don't make a comeback. Good work....

I love how he talks about getting his money back because a truly rust free GMT800 like this any where in the rust belt is near if not more than $10,000 at the moment. So $4k in it and sell it for $10k up north, that's a heck of a profit.

Hearing Ammo NYC tells me you know a bit about what you're doing. Love when a channel I watch mentions another I watch, makes me warm and fuzzy.

"I'm just an idiot who doesn't want to pay someone to make it look better." 🤣 Oh, Bear... you crack me up.

I learned a lot from Jared over the past 6 years, he helped me with my Supra and did my 6spd swap. He also Inspired me to jump in and start wrenching myself. Fear of messing things up hold a lot of people back from working on their own rides. keep challenging yourself with things you are not confident doing and you will surely surprise yourself, it’s truly an awesome feeling. Wrench everyday for life and thanks Jared.

I admire your passion for detailing AND for making sure you pass along a safe and solid vehicle for the next owner.

Great job! I disagree with 4-5k, even with paint issues and bad tires. Only 150,000 miles on it with all the usual issues fixed, add tires list it at 7,500 and take the first 7k that shows up.

Hahaha, for a guy that doesn't like detailing, you definitely commit to your most 'hated' process. Well done Jarred.

The 4L60E in my '04 GTO went out and I watched enough YT rebuild videos to build the confidence to rebuild it myself. That was 4 years ago, transmission still runs strong to this day! Never be afraid to tackle 'em, people!

One thing good about your channel and the Car wizard is being open and honest 👌. That is why I love to watch your videos. Keep it up and wrench every day.

It was great seeing you and the Car Wizard together. The other video you two made recently that he posted was very, very good. Nice to see the folks I follow on YT are collaborating.

You and car wizard video great together :) I like this series, very down to earth. You should do a wheeler dealers esque type of sale on this rig and have the buyer come on camera and look it over...i just think that'd be cool.

Rockstar editing by Duane (as usual!) Makes this simple content so compelling. I don't know why, but I feel like a collaboration between Jared and Richard (Rebuilds) is what the world needs! 👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️

As an ex commercial detailer (GM franchise) buy a soft broom, use proper car wash detergent and scrub with broom and suds after pressure washing. You might get a colour matched hood from a junkyard cheaply, or patch the paint - a tiny bare patch will disappear if done well. You can buy little touch up amounts of paint the correct colour, just dab a tiny bit on the damaged spot, can sand with a Dremel first if needed to remove corrosion (just don't make the spot bigger) then sand the blob of paint flat when totally dry. You can also do this with the correct colour nail varnish, build up layers if needed and sand paint flat before buffing. Good job with the buffing dude, it makes quite a difference when done well !

I bought a 81 Glastron ssv167 boat for super cheap, but it needed a lot of interior and motor work. I have never done vinyl or built anything for a boat, but now I have 3 more pieces to cut and cover in vinyl out of the 16 pieces I made myself. I can not help but smile when I walk in my garage and see what I have turned that boat into. Its taken me over a month but it is so worth it just to say "I did that" and "I brought this boat back to life".

Come on man Is just impossible to not love Jared and the Car Wizard Ohhh the Dog What a bunch of incredible souls

I'm impressed at your tenacity and effort on this detail. You Sir, are certainly not a quitter! Much Respect Jared!

Loving the Vice Grip Garage hat. It's awesome to see you guys supporting each other.

I love these normal vehicle videos. I think that's part of the reason Chris fix got so big

So from all those amazing projects that we’ve liked before , you have come to learn that your viewers needed a video on how to wash 🧼 a car …, thank you 😊

Mr. Jared, love the channel. I have been turning wrenches for a long time, but I generally hire someone else to perform the detailing. Two major time savers I have discovered when I have to detail - 1) rubbing alcohol will remove tree sap very quickly and 2) Blue Magic Carpet Stain spray is truly MAGIC for getting stains out of carpets, headliners, seats or any other fabric. Keep the videos coming!

Pressure washer detailing. ChrisFix would cry blood tears. It came out nicely tho, this has been a fun little series!

Shop Name: The Outhouse. Because it's the place to be after making questionable choices.

From what I've picked up on, using a steam cleaner on the interior makes it wayyyy easier!!

If you want to get more foam and less water, buy a 1.1mm thread nozzle from amazon. Also buy a gun that directly goes to a pressure washer rather than a hose, those 2 things will really get the foam amount up

You’ll want to wash top to bottom. Wash the top of the vehicle, rinse your rag thoroughly, wash the mid section, rinse the rag thoroughly and then do the bottom. You’re dragging all the debris from the bottom of the vehicle to the top and scratching the heck out of the paint. Just a helpful tip.

Jared just seems like the nicest human. Well done Sir!

On literally just about any other car, the clay bar would make you look like a detailing hero. Jared, your videos just make me smile, that was a very nice vicarious job well done to enjoy.

Well I’ll Be Dipped! Jared wore his Vice Grip Garage hat! Good on you, Jared!

For someone who doesn't like detailing, you put a lot of effort into it and really paid attention to a lot of the small stuff. Really super job! Good on ya, Jared!!

You're so right... I've never touched one of my cars before but with your enthousiasm, your explaining and just trying I now totally wrench my cars and have not gone to a garage in more then a year even though I had some failures (thermostate-failure with overheating engine, replacing my exhaust front to back, replacing a locking mechanism in the back) and next on the list is to replace some wishbones and I'm really proud of what I've accomplished so far as a carnoob so thank you extremely for your video's which have helped me a lot. You're the best!!!

Good Pyrrah, helping dry out that interior floor! To get good foam out of the cannon: more soap is better than less, use warm water in the bottle, and use distilled water in the bottle if you have hard water coming out of the tap in Georgia.

Man, watching this transformation is just mind blowing. I was forced to sell my 01 LS because I just couldn't do the work like I intended to. Love this truck, its beautiful and even 20 years later is still on my must have list. Can't wait to see it posted for sale. Id make the trip from CT to pick this beauty up. Cheers.

Thanks to channels like yours, I bought and restored a 2004 BMW 325i! I had the confidence to tackle it!

i have to agree ive done some things mechanically i never thought i could do and theres nothing that feels better than knowing you can do whatever you set your mind too

I love Pyra hanging out inside the Burban while cleaning it. Bet she is fun to clean after a shop day!

I love this channel. The fact that you took the whole interior out to clean it correctly means a lot. I can't express that enough. I detailed cars in my 20's for a job and not cutting corners on the interior is huge. Anyone who buys this thing will be thankful. I will say its driving me crazy to see that pool float sitting on a BLACK Supra's hood. I can't wait to see you work on the Mk3 Supra's.

NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL QUALITY CONTENT!! Keep up the good work, greetings from Saudi Arabia 👋🏼

I'm stuck at home with the bad stuff, this is helping me pass the time when I want to get to work.

A ca0llibration between two of the best mechanical artists on RU-vid.. bravo guys .. love everyday 🙏

At 12:15 into the video I really realized how beautiful of a green those Tahoe's had from factory. Stunning color

2.5 years ago I bought an actual little old lady's 14 year old car with a legit 32,655 miles on it for $3800. It.. needed... everything! Every rubber piece was gone. Tires were original from the day it came off the lot. It'd never been washed or polished correctly. They did however get an oil change every year, and had the 2 recalls done on it in a timely fashion. There were more acorns inside the various panels and openings then on the trees. After another $2600 invested, and an obscene amount of elbow grease, that car is completely sorted, solid, looking STUNNING (it went from a faded blue grey color to a brilliant deep blue), and good for another 15 years of use at least, before it'll need another major going over. It's the 3rd of that specific vehicle I've owned as well, and I still have #2 with over 183k miles on it. I'm completely on board with buying something with good bones that just needs some love, and making it stone reliable, for less than what a new or decent used car goes for these days.

Hi Jared and car Wizard nice video 📹 and workmanship and I love that Suburbin

It really like how the special l guest turns up to be another one of the mechanics I really look up to. I actually have a similar situation with a Golf Variant (Jetta wagon in the US) as this story. Bought it for next to nothing, been sitting outside for about five years, changed almost everything, turbo, suspension, cooling system, rear beam, installed cruise control, you name it. Now looking to sell it. Won't get my money back but I've saved another one and learned heaps in the process. Only big difference is that I've been using it as a daily for over a year, and that is what people normally pays for when it comes to car ownership. Good to see your detailing tricks, even though you claim to not be very knowledgeable, I still learn. Keep it up man!

Telling everyone he’s not an expert to stop someone copying him incorrectly, wanting to drive it for a month and not have someone stuck on the road because he didn’t do a good job. Just an honest guy. No wonder Freddy likes him so much. I keep thinking back to when Freddy financed his vehicles, paying off the loans for him and he was brought to tears. Listen to him talk about encouraging amateurs to try their luck and repair their own car, and then talking about fulfilment after you try something and succeed…

Seeing that dank and dirty carpet get cleaned is probably the most satisfying part of the detail.

Dude The Light Are A ""HOME RUN ""!!! The Polishing Made A Huge Difference and"" GREAT JOB """!!!

i love how your dog just loves to hang out with you.

Larry at AmmoNYC definitely knows his stuff….. but you’re all equally as amazing in your own right. Keep up the good work.

Wizard and Jared are a great combo. Two nice, genuine car guys, and great mechanics.

Excellent job, keep putting the work in and you will always enjoy what you are doing

Awesome work and full respect for fixing it to be safe and reliable, not just passing on with issues still. Can fully appreciate your effort and care for that. Well done on the work you did too, its come out a treat! Also, well done on the new shop and more P on the episodes. Such a well behaved dog.

The sense of acchievement This man that did almost everything possible working on a car trying something out of his confort zone Such inspiration man!

Little tip for the daytime running light bulbs on the 1999-2006 trucks/SUVs: use LED bulbs in them. The regular incandescent light bulbs the DRLs call for (4114) get really hot and melt the sockets, and sometimes even the housings. LED bulbs run cooler and last longer, so it's a win-win.

The best part of the video was seeing Pyra hanging out with her daddy. She’s so precious!

It's so satisfying learing a new skill like detailing. I purchased my first DA polisher last christmas, became youtube certified and now i'm cermic coating cars and charging customers to detail thier cars.

Jared and Vice Grip cleaning and detailing. Sounds fine.

For sensitive car interiors with fabrics and old plastics I usually use a soft white towel and soak the surface and the towel in some starterfluid, dimethylether and it'll clean plastics, rubbers, door-sides and seats like new with effort and be safe. Does require a lot of ventilation to do it safely though!

love this channel i bought a bmw e39 in late 2020 and now transmission has gone out and watching you fix this tahoe makes me wanna grab a wrench or two and go remove my transmission and replace it with a good working one thanks you so much Jared!.

Loved seeing the Dog during the time lapse. She seemed really interested in watching what you were working on.

Got a few idea's for names for the new shop: The Wrenchouse Jared's Jarage The House That Tavarish Built Area 51-B WrenchWiki Pyrrha's Place The Rev Palace You could also make it a contest and have subscribers submit names. When you pick a name the subscriber gets a swag bag.

Old school detailing! Now that's what I'm talking about..Great video

One of my favorite movie line is “A man has got to know his limitations.” It’s always awesome to push the boundaries.

That pressure washer has a get up and go attitude..... You had to stop it's attempt at freedom with a ladder 😂 The Chevy is looking 100% better after the clean tho man

is it just me or is it unnaturally satisfying to buff a car even if the paint's hosed? i actually enjoyed this vid. thanks master j!

Bravo . removed the carpet and cleaned the floor pans properly . WELL DONE.

Hey Jared, I don't know if people mentioned this before or have tried it but I use Dawn dish soap (blue) on lots of interior car panels (especially headliners) and it works wonders. Or baby sanitary wipes. They work amazingly well on fabric and stains! I get the headliner dirty all the time and use them! Try it! :) if not on the Tahoe but another :) Good luck!

So glad he has the new space. Content coming on a regular basis. I really like the affordable approach.

Jared, the Tahoe looks great! So excited to see what you are able to accomplish with this channel at YOUR own space. Great video, keep it up!

Considering how it started out, it looks remarkably better, excellent job Jared.

Wow you made a massive difference. Great work.

Jared nice transformation on the Tahoe, for a guy who doesn’t like detailing you fooled us, great job , cool to have the Wizard cameo

Truly impressive and all things that can be done at home . Worth the time when it comes to resale too . . Feel like I could smell it through the tv

Heck, If I were Jared I would keep it. Right now it's the most reliable vehicle on the channel!!

First time watching you solo other than on Tavarish. Definitely will continue watching im excited to see how it all turned out. Keep wrenching

I did a 5-stage paint correction on my father's 01 Excursion with 420,000 miles before he sold it. Took me a week but came out perfect!

The truck is looking awesome Jared, i love that you encourage people as much as you do, i try my best to work on my car as much as i'm able while i can as i suffer with Fibromyalgia so my message to anyone still hesitating, don't keep putting it off as you don't know how long you'll be fit to work on your vehicle!

Paint looks great. They are great trucks and would serve someone (like me!) so well. Paint defects and rust in some areas aside, they will run, and run, and run. Whoever gets it will be blessed, especially with all the work you put into it, amazing. And always good to see the Wizard!

Wow I love this deep green 😍😍😍😍 such a niiiice car the old styling is so iconic

Hand sanitizer works amazing on tree sap.

I love this type of content, relatable and useful, thank Jared

You missed a spot !🤪 I love the collaboration between the GREAT RU-vid automotive channels. I subscribe and thoroughly enjoy!!! 👍

Another awesome vid man! Keep up the good work. Interesting, informative, and entertaining. Love your dog too!

Really enjoyed seeing the transformation on this car, impressive work! It's also nice seeing someone working on the floor for a change 😆 I hope you will make a profit from it!

Nice improvement. Make sure that the drain holes in the bottom of the doors are clear so they don’t get water in them and rust out.

Seeing someone paying attention to a GMT800 Chassis like mine, very similar mileage and same color is amazing to see! These things are stout and are good buys!

GREAT JOB & COLLABORATION FELLAS 👍🇺🇸🤓

Great to see car wizard , and thanks for the great video! Good to see your helper inside the truck helping you 😂😂😂 🐕

Pressure washing the carpet is probably the fastes and easiest way to clean it results turn out amazing

I'm glad you mentioned driving it around for a bit to work the kinks out of it. I like to do people right and have some confidence in stuff I send out, and no matter how good of a mechanic you are, stuff happens.

This is what I used to watch Tavarish's channel for. Now it's become like a budget top gear.

For the headliner. I used a home carpet cleaner with a hose attachment to do the liner in my nieces nasty Kia Rio5. I mixed some carpet cleaner with oxy and went over the entire interior several times. Wasn't perfect, but it looked and smelled MUCH better. Got a lot of the tar of out material.

Nice. If you color sand it then cut and buff it, most times you can get that glass finish. But it looks good for what it is.

Solid truck that will serve someone well for another 200k or more :)! I agree with the comment below that a steamer will make it easier but I did detail work when I was young and don't have the 'fire' for it anymore either :)!

That Tahoe looks a billion times better on the exterior than what it was before. Ohhhh! A Wizard cameo!

You can’t hide the shiny head wizard lol love seeing RU-vidrs together

Sometimes it's not about profit when you love vehicals like we do. Not saying it's not great when it happens but knowing we saved something that would of ended up trashed will always make our types sleep better at night. I saved my profile picture from the junk yard and I'm loving it.

now thats a transformation !!!!! well done jared!!!!!!!!!

Love the dog helping inside the car :)
