@@ItsJustFreshh I had a friend who worked for Enterprise and that was more common than people think. His best day though was the day he found a prosthetic leg in the back seat of a car that got returned.
That one door concept was so kids could only get out on the sidewalk side and not out by the traffic side. Loved cupcake and your excellent job. Car looked like new again.
I think the vacuuming and the pressure washing is the most satisfying parts of the detail because they make up most of the cleaning. I can tell because they bring out the biggest visual difference.
I really like the process of taking a dumpy old beater and cleaning and polishing up the exterior so it looks brand new. I think it goes to show that even if a car is old and cheap, it doesn't have to look bad.
Yes it was good to see Brent back into the action! LOL. As usual both you and RJ did a remarkable job transforming this recovery trash monster into a respectable mode of transportation again. Great job overall!!!
It is a testament to the resilience of modern day materials that they can survive such abuse from filthy disrespectful owners! Good job guys you cleaned another 10 years into that pigsty!
I baught a Kia Picanto from 2004 a few years back. Came with a grey Tommy Hilfiger scarf. After having to spend over 4000 in repairs in the year after purchase, I can definitely say that that scarf was worth more than the car itself.
To answer your 1 door question.... Early mini vans only had a door on the passenger side. It was not until maybe the 2nd or 3rd generation Dodge Caravan/Plymouth Voyager that they added a door on the Driver Side.. Thanks for making me feel old LOL!
The entire "one door" case is resumed into a couple of reasons. #1 - Cost reduction. #2 - Safety. That way passengers and cargo handling, will never be able to step out into the incoming traffic. It's that simple! ;-) It can also save you from a fine. Since in many cases its part of the traffic code! With this said. In certain countries, Portugal comes to mind, with slightly more rigorous drivers license exams. The candidate, as a passenger, stepping out of the vehicle trough that side. Is immediate reason for flunking the exam! Without even touching the steering wheel! ;-)
7:15 This is a 90's style body with a van style door on the passenger side. Back then, they only had doors on one side. A lot of early caravan's were this way, and this Eagle product is a collab with Mitsubishi. It's like a sub-minivan. Cheaper to make for sure, but customers started buying the dual side door mini-vans much more than these once those came out.
Here in Birmingham, Al every Jan. and Feb. when people get their tax refund they head to one of those buy here pay here lots. The car breaksdown and left. Dealer gets it back and the process starts all over again. He can sell the car many times and still get it back.
It's a shame this video didn't get as much attention as some of the others. Like mentioned in the comments the wheels came out AMAZING! I was flabbergasted and it was soooo satisfying! I'm currently going through all you guys videos so and i love it! Favorite part is when you foam coat the car and how amazing the interior comes out! Respect to you guys working at detailing!
I like that the shine of the wheels came through in the cleaning process. The question I pose is: Were the wheels aftermarket items? I was amazed they looked so nice (I am not a particular fan of the graphite style wheels seen on some recent vehicles).
When mini vans and these little crossovers came out in the 80's they only had one door on the body rather than 2. Later vehicle manufacturers began adding a second slider. But with this one, who knows why only one back door?
The little Mitsubishi (Eagle) turned out great!! Can't believe it's still around. It was a little mini-minivan for it's time. Most all in the 80's and into the 90's only had a second loading door on the curb side. Like someone said below/above, the extra door on the driver side didn't come until later. Great job!!
On those rims I would have used oven cleaner. It works really good. Only thing is you have to work quick because it will remove the finish. Like 30 seconds tops. But it would have removed all that grime. Good video guys!!!
you guys did it again. What a train wreck that car was. I really do not understand how people can neglect their car that much. Underware..... you have to see it to believe it. May i ask what brand APC you use? Thumbs up for you guys. My compliments. Sincerely Bert de Vries, Hillegom, the Netherlands
Odds of the single door are very likely to be a similar reason as hyundai does the their Veloster. Not for looks or anything, but passenger safety when exiting the vehicle. The single door forces all passengers to exit the car away from the road instead of into the road
When I was a kid, my parents had a 1992 Nissan Quest minivan. It had 2 doors on both sides, and the second row had captain chairs. There was another version made with a bench seat in the second row instead. This came with only 2 doors on one side. The side without a door held the cup holders and climate control for the second row.
Kind of a negative thing to say don’t you think? He got his subscribers the same way they’re getting theirs. There’s no need to try to uplift this channel while bringing down his channel.
I'm a detailer, I have found dirty bloody tampons and pads shoved under the seats of a van.🤮 And I had one, when I was pressure washing the carpet, it had maggots coming out of it!🤮🤮
I found a mouse nest made out of cough drops once. The mice had been eating the cough drops so they had solidified together. Almost looked like an igloo full of mice feces.
This is an Easter Treat! I am seeing this video 1st time today. I like the fact that both of you were in the video; liked that both of you talked in the video; I love that you both are so full of energy or you play the video in quick tempo! I had teenagers and I had to clean out the junk each morning before I left for my carpool as I never knew when I may have to drive other to work. I found lots of empty, old, used trashy stuff. I kept an air freshener in the glove box too. Best to cupcake. If she ever turns on you, let me know, I have recipes! :-). If you maintain this channel, you will afford a shop with climate control so you can work inside yearlong without discomfort. Happy Easter Guys.
I found a mummified McDonalds cheeseburger under my passenger seat. I had a bag spill the year before and I thought I got everything and they just forgot a burger.
I know you guys are used to detailed really nasty cars. But have you ever worked on a clean one? I wish I lived close to you guys so you can work on mine. I keep it clean but I need it to be clayed and polished ot make it look newer. Keep up the awesome work, guys!
The 1 door/2 door. That’s way they use to make vans with only passenger side have slide door. Maybe so people in back to exit towards traffic. Not sure when the new excitement was when you had sliding doors on both sides. Surprised about rims, they sure didn’t look like chrome.
That car brand “eagle” made by Chrysler hasn’t been made since 1998. Chrysler started the 2 sliding doors in 1996 however that was only on the Chrysler/Plymouth voyager. Electric sliding doors didn’t start until around 2005. Early 2000s is when the double doors where more common.
The Summit was AMC's version of a minivan. Before the 90's, they only put rear doors on the passenger side of most minivans (so kids didn't open the door and step into traffic.)
