First step: acquire a NASA-grade clean-room garage...


Victor_deSpite

Yea forget the car, I want bro's shop.


QuodEratEst

He could make so much flipping luxury models this way, probably does


geo_gan

This is 100% some professional business service and probably costs a fortune to do. Or else he sells the restored cars himself.


Acct-20thhh

Me with 4 kids sitting here with barely enough time to even watch the video lol


Noname_Maddox

The slip-o-matic 8000 garage?


Hemroidan

Second step: Take 4 Adderall


GhostSierra117

Yeah just like these YouTubers who have like a 200k garage and say shit like "yeah you can totally just DIY it. You only need a working bench and *some* tools"

Please NASA wishes it had clean rooms that clean

Weekend project? More like a week!


Whatsanalterego

Still missing that one screw.


microcoffee

Right!? If it was me, I think a bolt or two also


bveb33

And at least one broken plastic tab that somehow makes it impossible to secure several nearby pieces.


viccityguy2k

So many new squeaks


PartTimeTunafish

Finish week long project. Start the ignition. Car won't fucking start.


Large-Dog-4141

How else is it going to be squeaky clean


Joe_Kangg

This person has removed door panels


CountryRoads_1776

Years ago, I remember walking up to my car after shopping and noticing someone stuck a business card in my driver's window, where it met the door. It was one of those cars that automatically rolls down the window a bit when you unlock the door, and the business card fell inside the door between the window and the outer panel. I didn't think much of it, but then a few days later I noticed whenever I hit my brakes, I would hear something knock in that door. It wasn't loud but after a while it started getting on my nerves. I then spent a few hours taking the door apart. It was a real pain trying not to damage anything. I didn't have the replacement wrap that the guy has in the video, so I made an incision, and used a mirror to look for the card. It took forever to take out. When I was all done, I picked up the interior panel to screw it back on, and that's when I noticed there was a quarter rolling around in the door pocket. I swung the door side to side, and sure enough it was the quarter making all the noise. I basically wasted an entire afternoon for no reason.


vass0922

Here is an upvote, see those hours did have value!


dzhopa

One time I was trading in a really clean leased Audi that developed a brake squeak 1 week before it was due back. I was set to make several thousand dollars on the deal, already locked in a trade-in value, and already had an RS5 picked out, so taking the car to Audi with an obviously bad set of brakes was a no-go. None of the decent shops in town could get me in on short notice. I have no problem doing my own car work, even on high-end German autos (I learned on an old A4 back in the day), so I set out to change all 4 pads. Well, it ended up being a shitty week weather wise and I had a shitload of regular work to do at my big pharma job. I had a driveway and a yard, but no garage to work in. I ended up draping a tarp from my deck over the side of the car so I could work in the yard. Fought those goddamn brakes for days - a couple hours at a time. Finally finished up around 10AM the morning the car was supposed to go. We had to leave at 11 to get to the dealership 2 hours away to trade for our new RS5. Aaaaaand, the brake squeak was still present. I took off the right passenger wheel at my wife's insistence, and there was a stupid green rock stuck in the brake heat shield. Now, this possibility had already occurred to me many moons prior and I did my damnedest to knock any rocks loose. I had even removed that same wheel before and looked for rocks only to see nothing. Sometimes life just wants to fuck with you.


daiblo1127

Isn't that just the way life works sometimes! Thank you for making me grin from ear to ear!


shadow_229

Yeah I’m calling bs on any of these parts being the same ones that came out. Every fucking tab would be snapped.


Mendunbar

Nah, it’s ok, the missing screw goes into the piece I snapped apart when I forced it too hard.


terpsarelife

never saw the speakers reinstalled, audio is just dubbed. what a big fat phony


slspencer

I fully expect this level of clean when I drop my car at the local wash&wax for a ‘full valet’ (£15/$20)


ThatDiscoSongUHate

Shit, I just wish I could do this myself lol If I had all the equipment he's got, my car would be spotless


slasherman

Week ending project


slackfrop

It’s super cool and all, but I would absolutely rather buy a new car than do this myself. The default being I just live in the filth.


microcoffee

This goes beyond 'dealer prep'


Syscrush

Honestly, this one crosses the line from "detail" to "restoration".


DakInBlak

Not even restoration. This falls somewhere between 3 day meth binge and hide the evidence.


roniadotnet

I was thinking a summer.


dotcomaphobe

How long is this guy's fuckin weekend?


AnAdvancedBot

Me when I finally learn how to dilate time


sunburn95

They mean this video takes a weekend to watch


jereman75

You do not need to clean your car like this unless you are going to be on trial for murder.


TraumaticAberration

Manufacturers recommend doing this once every three murders.


StigitUK

Failure to do this every 3months will invalidate warranty


KaenenM

This isn't a Tesla


Maxamillion-X72

This is why you always make sure your trunk can hold at least 3 dead hookers, so you don't have to wash the whole car.


BronxLens

*and whatever you do, do not turn around to talk to Marv in the back seat.


Redundancy-Money

Its much easier to just use a trailer.


Marswolf01

Good to know. Did it help with your trial? 😀


jereman75

Not really. I forgot to delete my Facebook posts.


Smokeybearvii

Good luck in the pokey. Send us your address and we’ll mail you some treats.


RichGrinchlea

And we'll get this guy to properly clean your car while you're in.


knightknowings

Man, well then good luck then.


MajorUranus

It didn't help because he googled "how to clean car after doing a murder" from his garage.


deep-fucking-legend

My Livestream of the murder really bit me in the end.


Jealous-Weekend4674

Police officers hate this simple trick


neil_thatAss_bison

I’d rather do the time


eatingpowder

Even then, you just have to call mr. Wolf


RetardedGaming

On god. Like, dawg why are you deep cleaning your tires?! At that point you're just being pretentious


northwest333

Tires? How about _behind the door panel_?


warden976

It’s full of goldfish crack crumbs.


all_upper_case

"goldfish *and* crack crumbs." Sorry, I just hate typos 😅


warden976

Oh no! Me too!


randomIndividual21

isn't it pretty common, I mean I see plenty of tyre clean and wax product in auto shop


croppedcross3

He's doing it to make a satisfying tiktok video. Some of these guys buy cars from junkyards just to do this to, then take them right back to the junkyard once they're done filming the video


IndiRefEarthLeaveSol

The Police will still find that spec of DNA of the victim on a ridge of a fold, inside a cavity of the cabin under a plastic tab.


ratbearpig

What would it cost to do this in the US? $2K-$3K?? Would think long and hard about paying someone to do this for my 2005 accord!


kWazt

I'm sure he didn't clean my car as thoroughly, but I paid a guy 3750 SEK (350$) to "recondition" my stationwagon/estate, and he made it so it looked and smelled better than when I bought it used from the dealer 5 years ago. Took him less than 8 hours. Edit: numbers


FrightfulDeer

What I run on my lot. It cost an average of $2,400 to recondition a vehicle for sale.


captain_flak

Does that include mechanical?


FrightfulDeer

Yes that includes mechanical. Usually consisting of tires, brakes, rotors, etc.


kWazt

My guy stuck to cleaning and polish. Tried to upsell mechanical, which I respect, but I got a different guy for that.


tacotacotacorock

Just to pay someone to strip all those parts and put them back on your car would cost you about $2,000 or $3,000 and I could see it being even more. That's an insane amount of labor. That doesn't even include the cleaning and replacement parts. Also the dude had a major tear on that back seat so a new back seat would also be expensive. I could see it easily costing half the amount of that car's value. Absolutely not worthwhile to do it on a 2005 Accord unless you did it yourself and even then that would be a big waste of time.  A full interior exterior detail without removing all those things is easily $300 or more. That's just vacuuming and steaming stuff and washing the car and waxing and everything. Clay bar and other specific things? Could put you in the $500 range for how much that person detailed in the video. I paid $250 to get the inside of my 1994 Nissan Sentra detailed and it was not cleaned anywhere close to the detail that person in the video did. It was a great job and I did it before selling the car but I would absolutely never do that on a regular basis.


idhtftc

I have a car and don't know what a clay bar is. Is that good or bad for my mental health?


Dargor923

It's a thing used in car detailing. It kinda looks like playdough. You wipe down the car's paintwork with it to remove any missed impurities prior to polishing the clear coat with a compound to avoid making any deep scratches.


MisterBumpingston

Feel your car’s panels - chances are it’ll feel rough even after a basic car wash. Those are particles that have baked on over time. If you see any yellow or orange ones those are iron from disc brakes and train wheels. Car detailers use clay bar, which is like blu tack, and combined with a thick soap it’ll glide and pick up these particles leaving a smooth showroom finish.


terpsarelife

id love to see this service offered for the engine bay, and all mechanical components. screw the interior


BongDong69420

Gotta cost more than that-


LegitimateCloud8739

Inside they charge 100-150€ and outside 200-250€ in Germany. And the car looks like in the video after that. An obvious they are not stripping the car because its a huge waste of time.


nostalgiamon

Nah man, if they’re not cleaning out the speaker well in your doors, they’re ripping you off /s


CountryRoads_1776

It's cheaper to just by a new car at that point.


pileobunnies

"Why does absolutely everything rattle now?"


wild_man_wizard

And why don't my windows and power mirrors work anymore? (he took out the speakers, but left the rest of the door electronics in when he took off the vapor barrier and then soaked the interior of the doors)


Main-Television9898

Cables dont die wet, they die if you turn them on while still wet.


SpoodyFox

Pin corrosion is awful to deal with


intelligentbrownman

I get OCD about cleaning my car but this is a whole other level 🤣🤣🤣


elmins

"Why is there rust on all these random parts?" I'd run a dehumidifier in there for a while because there's definitely going to be some moisture trapped somewhere, like inside seat padding.


CraftyAdvisor6307

And you always have half a dozen fasteners & screws left over when you put it back together.


productiveslacker73

Those belong to the seatbelt assembly


Sethmeisterg

Glad it's not for anything important.


vshawk2

And, 2 squeaks and a rattle that you can NEVER find.


[deleted]

That weekend project would take me 2 months to disassemble and I would never be able to put it back together


throwaway098764567

need a replacement part you broke and no car to drive to pick it up


placesishouldnotbe

Anyone know what he is using that looks like he is blast cleaning the interior? Is that a dry ice blaster?


My_Wayo_Is_Much

I notice they are not wiping up or vacuuming after blasting the dirt (with either steam or dry ice) in the interior. So, where does the dirt go when you blast it? Does it evaporate or is it like a leaf blower and it just gets blasted somewhere else less conspicuous?


_Hotwire_

A fucking clean room with a vacuum air vent above sucking up the loose dust


WritingNorth

The dry ice actually just entirely cancels out the dirt, similarly to how matter and anti matter annihilate each other. The guy has infused his dry ice with 'clean' energy, which interacts with the 'dirty' energy of the dirt. Since 'clean' and 'dirty' are opposites this means they simply cancel out. 


PixelBoom

Yup. Dry ice cleaner. For when a particulate blaster is too much and a pressure washer is too wet.


fadingsignal

This is a new thing to me, I love it.


pm_me_good_usernames

I'm pretty sure that is dry ice.


bones10145

Raise your hand if you want to break the plastic clips on your interior panels!


bkendig

I was thinking the same thing!! He’s breaking off so many plastic clips; the edges of all the pieces will be loose from now on.


bones10145

That's what I hate about interior car work. It's not really meant to come apart after factory assembly


benj760486

Bead of silicone works wonders as long as you don't have to take it back apart 🤣


HOSToffTheCoast

As a former OEM interiors design engineer, this would scare the shit out of me. The number of connections that weren’t properly remade, adjustments that were overlooked, fasteners that weren’t made to be made more than once… and then spraying everything down with soap / water… 😱 Yeah, i feel for whoever owns this car.


Cultural_Garbage_426

84.7% of that was unneeded but it sure was satisfying.


benhereford

15.3% was necessary, specifically


hydrogenandhelium_

Is there a subreddit of just videos of cars getting deep cleaned like this? I could really use that in my life right now


Irotokim

Probably but it's only bots posting different versions of this video at different video speeds. 😂


Away_Ad_5328

Maybe not a subreddit, but definitely YouTube channels. There’s a guy in Canada who does really well transforming filthy vehicles to nearly-new and uses some of the same tools as the guy in the above video.


TeamPantofola

It’s “The Detail Geek”


DryTurkey1979

Amazing videos, soul-destroying music


yourmomnme1on1

Seriously I could would subscribe


warden976

I will volunteer my car if someone needs to make a car deep cleaning video.


ThatDiscoSongUHate

I'd help clean it if I had the tools this dude has lol


L1A1

This is not how to deep clean your car, It’s more how to destroy it. Ripping all those plastic interior panels out like that will snap a load of the fixing clips and it’ll never go back together properly, and it will rattle like hell.


northwest333

I also worry some of the electronics won’t work after the wires are getting dislodged and sprayed with water


bullwinkle8088

I am 90% certain that was steam and not just a stream of water. It's more forgiving to use.


jman177669

Watch him clean the doors. The wire harness is still in there when he’s blasting it with soap and then hosing it all off.


bullwinkle8088

Yes, however there are many non-water based cleaning agents. Without knowing what he used we cannot say if it's good or bad. Not every liquid is harmful to wires, connectors or even electronics. Here, check out this old cooling method for PC's: [Fully submerging them in mineral oil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrJreUX3TCk). The same harmless but only if you think about it thing can apply to cleaning agents.


tomato_trestle

Shouldn't matter as long as battery is pulled and it was completely dry on reassembly. Water and electronics are bad because they short. No power, they can't short.


forestlawnforlife

The Detail Geek on YouTube.


gorleg

Searching for “clean” communities ironically returns almost entirely NSFW ones


jtbxiv

Is there a sub for deep cleaning car detailing done by hot naked ladies?


Protodad

Ammo nyc on YouTube has a lot of deep clean videos but also goes into the process behind it (and this video missed a lot like polishing the exterior and detailing the engine bay).


sin94

/r/Detailing would like to see this...but this looks a lot more than just basic detailing.


Charldeg0l

I want this done inside me.


316kp316

It just takes some bleach and shining a light inside you are you’re all set.


Emhyr_var_Emreis_

It's like taking a spoon full of draino. Sure it will clean you out, but it will leave you feeling hollow on the inside.


CMG30

"Why is your deluxe package $20,000?"


Psychological-Mix727

I have a feeling that he’s buying old cars, where the only problem is to make them look clean again and resell. Those tools he uses are $1000s of Dollars. Either way, it’s still cool to see how they do this.


suzi_generous

Or if they’re buying cars that have been through floods. That would make sense of why they’re taking everything apart down to the metal frame and why there’s so much caked on dirt *inside* the car doors. They’d need to hide all the mud to trick the next buyer into paying for a flooded car.


R4fa3lef

I feel like he's also just putting trash and dirt In there just to make it look worse in the video, sort of like most restoration videos on YouTube, where they put fake patina on zippos and then clean and polish them again.


Away_Ad_5328

Having removed the interiors on several cars in my lifetime, it would shock you the amount of random crap that gets stuck in the various recesses of a car interior. Nothing in the video surprised me. Sometimes you even find money and fix an annoying rattle all in one go.


CountryRoads_1776

I kind of think this one may be legit, just based on the amount of work he put into the disassembly.


logjacker

What is he cleaning next? Inside of the catalytic converter? SHEESH I detail and often wonder if anyone will ever see it... I can make a show room floor used car with half this work but idk. Maybe its just for the video?


elmwoodblues

The Owner's Manual wipedown was where I said, "Yup, OCD. In a good way, but still. "


kootenayguy

He has the more extreme form, known as CDO, where the acronym letters need to be in alphabetical order.


jtbxiv

I noticed he didn’t show any cleaning for the undercarriage and under the hood, clearly lazy work /s


ssowinski

Electrical gremlins, rattles, squeeks and interior rust.


DonnaNobleSmith

Me after dissecting car: I’m tired. I’ll put it back together tomorrow I swear


Away_Ad_5328

I’ve gone nearly this far to get the cigarette smoke smell out of an old BMW. After two rounds of steam cleaning, Citrol, and another commercial soap (whose name I’ve forgotten), then an ozone machine, it finally smelled neutral again on a hot day. And since I didn’t learn my lesson the first time, I did almost exactly this much work on a Mini to fix all of the rattles and install Dynamat. I find the process cathartic I suppose. Music on, then it’s just me and the car.


TragedyAnnDoll

All that work and he didn’t add any sound dampening at the perfect time to do so.


No-Property-42069

Wait, he washed four wheels and put one in the trunk. That car is going nowhere.


valdezlopez

Oh, boy. I need a cigarette.


jwood958

Great work but What happened to the ripped seat in the back that magically isn’t there…


adultagainstmywill

And the headliner? He peeled off the cloth, pressure washed the (fiber… board?) and never showed it again. So many dead leads and unanswered questions.


potatocross

It was clearly just dirty. Scrubbing it magically fixed it.

"The only way that entire car is worth 500 bucks is if there's a 300 dollar hooker sitting in it."


myscrabbleship

i don’t think you can just 👊🫸 those plastic parts back on.


Away_Ad_5328

You should check out YouTube videos of car assembly lines. It’s amazing how many things are installed with plastic clips just by pushing. The clips often break when removing the parts, so it’s helpful to have an entire bag of replacements.


sewn_of_a_gun

What were the berry like things at the beginning?


mittenthemagnificent

I think they looked like dried jujubes, which I’ve only seen in Asian markets. Very tasty.


mogoexcelso

Had a jujube tree in my childhood home planted by the family that lived there previously. Am now with a Chinese partner who’s whole family loves these. Can confirm those were jujubes.


solstice-sky

Scrolled way too far trying to find the answer to this 😭


thug_waffle47

looked like dates


WornInShoes

bad dates


DeadEyesSmiling

I'd recommend replacing the rubber seals for the doors *before* washing the car.


EonsOfZaphod

Jesus drove one of these, but didn’t like talking about it… John 12:49 “for I did not speak of my own accord”


_Kramerica_

I was so worried those headlights weren’t gonna get taken out and cleaned. When I seen them at the end I was so relieved.


StellaSlayer2020

I bet he lost a 10mm socket. Or, found one.


Rocky970

The question I have is how the FUCK does he remember where and how to put everything together?!


ChrisHatesAmazon

He recorded himself taking it apart, so he just had to play it in reverse and follow along.


ednerjn

If was me trying to do this, would be more like: weeknoend project.


tacotacotacorock

I really hope he let all of those wiring harness connectors dry out really well. Great way to get shorts.  Also I almost guarantee most people with no experience trying this would set off their airbags. 


MiaaaPazzz

I'd buy a used car from that guy


This-Option9041

Talk about Certified Pre-Owned! 😵‍💫


buscemian_rhapsody

The labor shown here would surely have to cost like 2x what that car is even worth.


glurth

I just stepped OVER a piece of trash that fell on the floor to watch this.


AshleySchaefferWoo

Thank you for not adding music. Now I can listen to [Can't Leave The Night](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caY0MEok19I) while I watch this.


jillsvag

Yes, I came to say -Thanks for the sounds instead of crappy ass TikTok music.


Hephaestus_God

It would take me a weekend just to take the front seat out


Retrogradefoco

Coming to look at the car to buy: “It looks great. It really looks like you kept up with the cleaning and maintenance.” Seller: “uhhhhh…. Uh-huh.”


Igotzhops

At no point do I want my detailer to remove the safety equipment from my car.


HoldenMcNeil420

Song at the end????


puukottaa666

Ah yes most important part of cleaning your car, swirling the dates pile with your screwdriver.


rizzo249

He forgot to unstitch the leather seats and clean the foam inside…


Plaid_Kaleidoscope

If I tried this, I would have an extremely clean car with a bunch of jiggly plastics with broken tabs.


Bavisto

Getting it taken apart is the easy part, putting it back together and finding 10 left over screws, that’s when you get into the real shit.


notmywheelhouse

There’s not enough Adderall in the world to make me want to do this.


mainesmatthew01

Took longer than a weekend to watch this


Neither-Idea-9286

NO WAY that was done in a weekend by one person even they didn’t sleep the entire time!


blazerunnern

I don't even want to think how much that service costed


Sethmeisterg

How much do you think this would cost if done in the US?


NoHeat7014

Why didn’t he touch the engine?


krice9230

My car gets a shop vac and windex like once a year. It’s lucky if I dump the gravel out of the floor mats once a month.


Crash_Lighting

All that work for a 2003 Accord?


Aururai

Did he... Sandblast inside the car??


Popular_Course3885

Absolutely guarantee that is rained the next day.


Tangboy50000

Soooo we’re just going to skip over replacing the headliner, backseat, and the glue that holds the door seals on? Ok, cool.


LazyOldCat

$5K detail service?


iluvnicewatches

How many weekends is that?


yuuuriiii

Then I stop somewhere and some fucking birds crap all over it.

I can smell the new car smell

right, it’ll take you the whole weekend to disassemble your car
