      You always find interesting ways to entertain us. I am continually impressed by how much work goes into these videos. The shots, the camera angles, the editing, the voiceover. All very well done. Thanks for being not just a professional detailer with skills and talent, but also producing these videos week after week. I can only imagine how much effort goes into this work.

    I was a detailer at a Lexus dealer back in 2003-2004. We had this old guy bring his car in for service and he smoked with the windows up. You could see a light brown/yellowish film on his windows. We sprayed our foam glass cleaner on it, you can kinda judge how dirty the window is by how fast the foam turns into a liquid. It immediately turned into a liquid with that same brownish tint to it. We had a hell of time cleaning them but it was worth it, the guy was so happy that we took the time to do the extra work for him that he ordered us 2 pizzas for lunch, had them delivered and paid the tip and everything. He was a nice old man and for being like 75-80 years old and smoking like 2 packs at least a day he seemed in good health

    I've had 3 cars that the previous owners were chain smokers. The first was a '62 Studebaker Lark. The owner smoked stinky cigars. I scrubbed that interior for a long time, and the smoke came off of the headliner in particular, in layers. It finally got to a point that it did not seem to get any cleaner. It was a light tan and looked ok. I then looked behind a badge on the headliner, and it was originally grey. The driver's door panel had some burn marks where he touched it with the cigars. The next was a '73 Peugeot 504 sedan. All of the upholstery was worn and smelled like an old ash tray that hasn't been emptied in a long time. Fortunately I went to a wrecking yard to buy a couple of parts and I saw a newer one that had been in a wreck, but the interior was immaculate! I bought everything that would reasonably be removed, cleaned the headliner and all of the new upholstery, installed the interior and it looked great. The last was a 2002 Ford Explorer. The previous owner smoked cheap tootie-fruity flavored cigars. My daughter and I spent 2 days cleaning the interior of that car. The Ford was the worst because the cigar smoke was in the A/C ducting and on the evaporator. It smelled terrible when the A/C was on. The thing that was common to all three cars was the smell. It took months to get rid of most of the smoke smell in the first two, and that was including leaving the windows down most of the time for months. I never did get rid of the smell in the Ford even after a year. Cleaning foam for the evaporator had not come out yet, or I did not know about it. Oh well, live and learn. BTW: if the car has a cabin filter, change it!

    My very first car I bought was in a worse shape on the inside, it was a Mazda 323. It had ash and cigarette buds everywhere. To make it even worse the Black label beer was also messed on the carpets which made it more difficult to clean on the inside. It was a 2 day, 11 hours per day job to get the smell out and get the car to a desired condition. Thanks to Detail Geek for all your awesome hints and tips no car will ever stay dirty.🤩

You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free.

    What I always wonder about when seeing a car in this condition, is whether they ever did any maintenance. If they treat the inside like this, they probably never open the hood. Never get an oil change or even check any of the fluids. Most likely, the engine and transmission are shot. The value of the detail job is probably more than the car is worth. Great job as always.

    Just a quick suggestion, for jobs like this, it'd be a great idea to get a pair of law-enforcement style anti stab gloves. They're thinner than work gloves so you maintain a good degree of dexterity, but prevent penetration of sharp objects like needles or knives. These are the gloves police officers typically wear when searching a suspects pockets and such. You could wear your nitrile gloves underneath them. As I'm sure you've thought of yourself, there's just no telling what you're gonna find under a pile of crap like that, and it would open up a real can of worms if you happen to get stuck by some dirty needle lying around in a car. Keep up the good work!

The worst part is that I'm a smoker - but I don't smoke in my house or vehicles. Too gross to do anywhere other than outside.

    The Kia Rio hatchback got really cleaned up in this one. A movable ashtray is what it looked like when you got it. That interior was horrible. I think the dashboard is what you get when your toddler is NOT told to take his shoes off the dash and proceeds to dance there repeatedly. So glad to see the respirator in full use on this mess. 9 hours is a lot of time, but it was well spent since the end result was so good. I think you have helped Amazon sell a LOT of those steamers. I hope you're getting a cut or some compensation. Hey what happened to the Android watch? Did you leave it on the nightstand or did it get borrowed by Mike? It's usually part of your work uniform of T shirt, nice work pants, cap and cool watch. Have a great weekend, I hope spring weather is there. Thanks Mitch! 💜

    Hey Mitch, did you pull out the cabin filter? That thing's probably never been changed and is full of tar and nicotine from the cigarettes. Even if the car smells clean and new after a day or so that rancid cigarette smell is going to fill the car again from that filter.
    I am curious if you run the cars fan while it circulates inside air when you use your ozone generator. I had to do that in my last car (it was a rental) because it smelled like a men locker room, The ozone get recirculated through the cars ducts and stuff, which helped a lot.
