Coming from someone who drives a 98 civic. This is exactly why I will always baby my vehicle. She deserves to be treated right. I’ve known people who go through a vehicle almost every year. Simply because they don’t want to put the work in to take care of their vehicles. I do a deep clean twice a year. Fall and spring, but also maintenance clean every couple weeks. Vaccume, dust. My car will be running still when I have kids. And I plan to put the same amount of care into my Honda Pilot when it comes time to upgrade.
@@heavenbxl9126she means maintenance cleaning. Quick dusting and vacuuming. Remove all trash. Quick detailer/protectant application. Shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes to do the whole thing.

Bro. U got robbed. $1000 for a dirty ass car like that and it’s beat up? I bought a car for $300 in way better condition. Interior was detailed and clean, only problem was the engine is blown. So gotta do a trans swap on my other engine. Hopefully it’s not harder then I’m expecting it to be, but when I get it running again I plan on possibly repainting it or fixing the minor body dents, and eventually gonna flip the car. I spent a lot of time on it, but I’m willing to sell for at least 1300-1500. 1999 Honda civic DX 5speed manual.
Great work 👍. The interior was absolutely disgusting. I don't know how people can do that to their cars. You put a lot of time and effort into getting it clean
Idk what year honda that was but, buying honda carpets are about 160 dollars. It may have been better to just buy a new one in this case. It was a good video. Tho
@Connor Lemmerman I get your point. But I see the work as a point of diminishing returns. The video was good, but if you were doing some car equally as bad it might be cheaper than 5 hrs of work
@@StaufferGarage are you able to change breaks, oil, and oil filter(maybe an air filter as well)? The bare basics might get you a good little chunk more in profit for very little added investment and very little extra effort(bating stuck tires, aluminum tims can be a bitch to get off sometimes lol) especially if you film proof of you doing the work. Could revenue polish dull headlights using your still and a polishing kit. The extra cost would maybe be about 250-350 bucks factoring in the polishing kit on top of the oil, breaks, and filter.
Wow, what a transformation! Hard to believe people keep their car like that. Even older cars deserve better. And I believe the carpets are old school quality (thick), aren't they?

some of my past cars were like that, i was on the road 2hrs a day going to and from work and driving one of my friends around constantly, was always tired from work so basically i lived out of my car and was too tired to clean, the passenger side floor became a trash can with soda bottles and gas station food wrappers. now that im not driving as much i keep my car cleaner, sure it may get messy when im on a road trip but i usually clean it right after.
How did you go about creating your own line of cleaning products? Are there consultants that you would contact and who are in contact with chemists, and manufacturers? Thanks in advance.
That was very pleasant to watch! Amazing flip you did. That oxy clean breaking down the organic stuff and grease really did some great work. Love the transformation. I wish we had both Oxy clean and flex ice here in Canada. Amazing transformation all in all James!
Don't get stuck on brands. You can use peroxide which does exactly the same thing! The oxygen, does the trick of oxidizing (dah) the dirt molecules. Making for an easy clean. In fact you can use it all around the house. Example: Kitchen countertop and cutting boards... ;-) Depending on where you're located. It's probably even cheaper. Cheers ;-)
Congratulations on the flipping the car. As usual you did a great job detailing. Unlike most of the cars you work on, this one didn't have much wear and tear on the inside (i.e. no torn seats, carpeting).
A respray would cost the new owner a grand or so..and for that he has something that has 3-4 years of life in it and looks respectable. Yes new cars would last a decade or so comfortably. Still certain charm in the simplicity of the old school design.
Man! I had an interior just as bad scheduled for what the customer thought would be my express interior option (my starting package). Same kind of staining. I ended up saying screw it and throwing in free steaming and extraction on carpeting because i could never imagine having to sit in a “ clean “car with stained carpeting 😂
Don’t do that my brother. That’s your valuable time. If they dont pay dont do extra. They choose the level of service. People are generally selfish and it wont come back around to you. You are running a business and you owe them nothing but your best which I know you will do.

A tip for anybody who didn’t know this. You can dye carpet. Just take spray paint to it. I would remove the carpet if you’re doing a color change though. I’ve done it many time detailing at dealerships. I’m about to dye my tan carpet black in my Accord.
Biggest thing I find that helps in my flips are better pics/descriptions. Often times they’re listed as “2005 civic. Runs/drives. $1000 cash” And then when you get there you can see several new parts or things that can make it more attractive on the flip. And i love the Cerakote Trim restore on my headlight restores!
Used to have a Honda like this and man, memories coming to my head again, we got one new and then now looking back, it was a good daily. Sold it for $500 to my neighbor 😞
Damn i miss my 99 civic lx auto.. that 1.6L 4door shitbox was the most fun i had in a car.. always blasting redline, always throwing it around on any road, hell even offroading... it took so many beatings for a whole year.. only to die by a spun bearing after the oil pump failed.. damn i miss it every day. When i get a house with a bigger driveway/garage for sure i'll get another ek and put it in top notch condition with some spicy mods.. cheers

he should've ran an ozone in their for a 5 hours, open windows, leave open for 10 hours. Come back, put a mesh bag of activated carbon, and then use the fragrances.
That carpet looks so plush. You can tell right away it's going to clean up nicely! How long did the entire interior take to clean not counting drying time? Trying to gauge my efficiency in my details.
When it's dirty to this point, would it not be easier to just replace the floor carpet all together? The floor carpet is $160 ordered online. The economy of time is substantial.
I was thinking the same but at the same time you need to wait for the carpet to ship to you and then install it, so you still need to invest some time to the carpet.
I'm a mechanic who also paints and restores cars, since i know everything i need about cleaning and stripping car interiors, one thing i never understood about professional detailers is why after so much work they don't remove the carpet and they insist on cleaning what i would have lit up in flames, the labor involved wouldn't be cheaper than a carpet pulled from the scrapyard that can be as low as 20$ and wouldn't look better than one either after the customer pays hundreds for an interior detailing. I've made many times the proposal of swapping a carpet for cheap and getting new insulation pads but never a detailer who gets a high price to clean something that needs to go. Another time there was a steering rack seal leak under the dash and after this extensive cleaning the car had a bold oil scent after citronella faded away, turned out when i pulled the carpet it had the insulation pads soaked into a huge oil pool. I've seen many cars shining and smelling fresh after an expensive detail to the extend of removing seats, etc and if you pull the door sill trim you'll find damp insulation pads, mold growing from underneath or behind the door panels, and a whole bucket of dust and debris that eventually starts coming out. I don't talk specifically for the video poster where this car is his and wanted to flip it, but i see people run a business where swapping things for cheap would be more profitable and less labor intensive than getting money to deliver a hidden swamp with lemon cologne to whoever pays the price.
@@g35s Yes but i believe it should not be done professionally when giving the customer the feel that the car would be totally clean afterwards, they can give the option to remove the carpet for extra cost but most i've seen they just do this without mentioning anything. In the matter of fact i did not remove the carpet on my father's car and i have uploaded a video on my main channel "John's Crafting Lab" detailing it, because it's a car that moves workers and construction materials everyday which i wanted to look better for a few days, but if i was paid for this service i would do the complete tear down of the interior even if i would give it as an option for extra cost, most the detailers i know do not remove any panel or the carpet and some do, but all of them mention a "deep clean" and do not describe what they will do.
@@dennisrobinson8008 except the cars i worked on, got one for mine mint condition used from a newer model aswell, changed the color to black for a total 60$, much cheaper than if i or someone was trying to remove 2 quarts of oil stains and smell that eventually leaked in from the steering rack, because after intensive cleansing with degreasers and pressure washing that i would have charged over 100$ to a customer, the oil was still soaked into the plastic undercoating of the carpet and made the car smell in the summer. Mold and humidity is much worse especially if you don't remove the carpet to clean it and burn the insulation in a bonfire and install new one.
You could go beyond that; and actually redye the carpet grey with a spray can. It will make the carpet look brand new because even with a shampoo machine not all stains will be removed
It’s a good side hustle. I live in nc and legally your allowed to sell five cars a year as a private citizen and the cool part is they never ask or report the amount the vehicle is bought or sold for because they do the property tax based on the cars value according to some other resource like kbb or an insurance average so there is never a paper trail to how much you made 😅 i personally deal all cash and put it in my safe so Uncle Sam doesn’t know or couldn’t prove it existed😅😅
Hey Stauffer! Looking into the Mytee carpet extractors currently. I was looking at the S-300 model. I was wondering if it’s worth going for the heated model or if the non heated is a good starting point. I’m looking for a good investment in the long run. Also what solution should I use on the carpets before extracting?
@@StaufferGarage Would you recommend the S-300H model? I am seeing so many different reviews conflicting each other. I was wondering if you had any experience with models other than the Spyder, and if they were good.
Start by the most basic. Clean/dispose of the loose garbage dumped all over. Packages, papers... Makes a world of difference and literally take seconds at the gas station. ;-) After that a simple vacuum operation makes wonders. Soon you'll want a brush for the dash dust, to go with the vacuum. Than a rag, than... Damn I create a "monster"! LOL 😂 😂 It's rather addicting. The sarcastic part of all this. Is that it becomes easier and easier the more you dive into it...
I have been buying and selling used cars for 22 years. I have only seen cars this dirty in my life on TH-cam videos of car cleaners. I have never seen a car this dirty in real life.
That looks like the inside of my Explorer I got for free. I've vacuumed it twice and rug doctored it now, but it was pretty terrible. The worst was the back seat area and the rear. It was soaked in animal blood because it was used for hunting. There was so much blood I got 3 full tanks before it ran somewhat clear. These car detailing videos are really satisfying.
@@jeraldjoyce2995 Oh yeah it smelt like death, sweat, and wet dog. Even worse on a hot day. Now it just has a faint dog odor and engine oil smell. Which is leagues better!
Most important thing you can do is make sure that interior is clean. It’s worth it to pay $150 for a interior detail. To get that extra grand out of it! Smelly interior is #1 turn off
Question sir…When cleaning a car this bad, how do you know when to get a fresh microfiber towel? At what point is a towel maxed out with being soiled? Thank you!
I would say for this car level of filth, towel per panel. A lot of time I milk one towel for 2-3 to get majority of the dirt up and follow the same 2-3 with a fresh towel.
Hey Stauffer! Just finished one of my first detailing jobs and my one take away was the lack of a good extractor. I see that the Mytee tears through the dirt and grime, I was wondering if you had a recommendation for something that won’t break the bank, but will get good results like the mytee. Thanks!
Well done on knocking out the first one! How often are you detailing? If you do 4-5 a month, the Mytee is so worth the expense for the time you will save along with the results. I use the Mytee HP60 Spyder and its a beast but not too pricey if you use it. Also resale value is really high so you never lose the 3/4 of the value. Check fb marketplace for a used one or splurge on new and make the commitment and within a month or two it can be paid off. I have a link to the one I use in the description box.
If this is still relevant, check out the detail geek. he used a bissell spotclean pro for a very long time and while it can be a hassle (shorter tube, smaller tank) the results are just as good
I bought the bisel little green and it’s a beast I got cream colored carpet in a rental house 🤦🏽🤦🏽 and it picked up stains that were there for who knows how long. Also use it on my car and the water is dark dark brown when I dump it.
With your experience do you think that stains from mildew come off of carpet ? And leather . I have a 95 mustang convertible parked for 10 year. The roof eventually leaked and water got in . The interior was perfect when I parked it but now looks bad because of rain
nice techniques, is expensive in Connecticut to inspect, register, insurance but if buying at low price and selling a little high usually helps to make some extra $$$. great content.
I would've used a steam cleaner on most of the plastic interior pieces. I'm assuming you don't have one because you would've been using it too. It softens up all the hard candy stuff and kills all the bacteria.
Hey brother can you exactly tell me the name of the tool you used to suck up all the grime and cleaning mixture. I know it's a vacuum cleaner type machine but there is steam coming out of it. So please the name of this machine
I see this in many detailing videos, so I thought I would ask: I see people applying product, agitation, then whiping the dirty product off. Without a rinse, aren't you leaving dirty residue behind?

Pay the extra for heated 100%. It makes a world of difference. I spray on Bio break (amzn.to/3efn09J) and a scoop of oxiclean in my sprayer.
@@StaufferGarage Would you recommend the S-300H model? I am seeing so many different reviews conflicting each other. I was wondering if you had any experience with models other than the Spyder, and if they were good.
Now I want to go deep clean my car man it’s satisfying watching this
いつも日本から動画見てます‼️
The very nice video!
I always enjoy watching your videos from Japan!!!!
Which part! I want to visit again soon!
Having a clean car is one of the best habits I need to start
Start by the most basic. Clean/dispose of the loose garbage dumped all over. Packages, papers... Makes a world of difference and literally take seconds at the gas station. ;-)
After that a simple vacuum operation makes wonders. Soon you'll want a brush for the dash dust, to go with the vacuum. Than a rag, than... Damn I create a "monster"! LOL 😂 😂
It's rather addicting. The sarcastic part of all this. Is that it becomes easier and easier the more you dive into it...
Sorry if I got this wrong. You said you cleaned that whole interior in just 5 hours? That seems incredibly fast
it would take me 5 hours just to get all the cleaning tools
It's not a huge car .
5 / 6 hours is about right , without demontage of the interior.
Just the cleaning part .
Hope the head gasket is not blown. good luck.
great job!
what do you use for a shop vac? looks like whatever you have does a nice job
The extractor dumps looked like you had dredged the Mississippi. Insane change. Congrats!!
Yes! Thank you!
Great Work mate. Do you have a video listing each product that you use as you're using it?
How about in the next video I do that. Great idea
@@StaufferGarage thanks mate.
Something I will never understand how come that such car owners let their cars reach such a terrible condition!!!!!!
idk either... the smell of this thing was so gross
pigs
I was wondering same thing
Probably a pretty good reflection of how they feel about themselves.
I have been buying and selling used cars for 22 years. I have only seen cars this dirty in my life on TH-cam videos of car cleaners. I have never seen a car this dirty in real life.
Wow what steam cleaner was you using my son is wanting to start his own detail business and having the right equipment goes a long way
That looks like the inside of my Explorer I got for free. I've vacuumed it twice and rug doctored it now, but it was pretty terrible. The worst was the back seat area and the rear. It was soaked in animal blood because it was used for hunting. There was so much blood I got 3 full tanks before it ran somewhat clear. These car detailing videos are really satisfying.
Wow! That car must've smelled horrible!
@@jeraldjoyce2995 Oh yeah it smelt like death, sweat, and wet dog. Even worse on a hot day. Now it just has a faint dog odor and engine oil smell. Which is leagues better!
Nice work... for beginners that likes to start a detailing business what equipments do i need to purchase.
Never gonna understand why people let the cars like this "oh, some fries fell out, nothing happened "
hi there great job as usual, but what intrigues me why didn't you remove the carpet if you had already removed all the seats and centre console?
I bought my first car which was a 02’ odyssey and it was $1500, thankfully the previous owners got it detailed for me
That was really nice of them to do! I had an '02 back in the day as well. Great people movers
Nice I remember being at CarMax with my family getting an 03 Odyssey as a kid. We had that van for like 10 years!
I love car flipping! Thanks for the video!!
Most important thing you can do is make sure that interior is clean. It’s worth it to pay $150 for a interior detail.
To get that extra grand out of it! Smelly interior is #1 turn off
What’s the equipment you’re using to spray down the carpets? Just a pressure washer with soap or is it something specific to car detailing
Those Honda interiors hold up well. Aside from the carpeting the rest of the interior looks to be in great condition.
Question sir…When cleaning a car this bad, how do you know when to get a fresh microfiber towel? At what point is a towel maxed out with being soiled? Thank you!
I would say for this car level of filth, towel per panel. A lot of time I milk one towel for 2-3 to get majority of the dirt up and follow the same 2-3 with a fresh towel.
People are nasty. They should have at least picked up the piles of obvious, easy to get to trash before listing it online.
I would say a small dust pan with a brush would help more on the big stuff rather than picking them one by one. 😂
Amazes me people who try to sell a car on web and never even clean it at all. Would sell a whole lot better if they just clean dash and vacuum
Was wondering why you switched from a sandia extractor to a mytee?? Which model did you get and why??… thanks
Love all the "experts" in the comments who know how to flip cars better than this guy ...
It was so satisfying seeing you detail the car and clean every ounce of those dirt stains using that steam sucker.
He didn't even show the outside of the car. Wtf? What happened to the outside???
Hey Stauffer! Just finished one of my first detailing jobs and my one take away was the lack of a good extractor. I see that the Mytee tears through the dirt and grime, I was wondering if you had a recommendation for something that won’t break the bank, but will get good results like the mytee.
Thanks!
Well done on knocking out the first one! How often are you detailing? If you do 4-5 a month, the Mytee is so worth the expense for the time you will save along with the results. I use the Mytee HP60 Spyder and its a beast but not too pricey if you use it. Also resale value is really high so you never lose the 3/4 of the value. Check fb marketplace for a used one or splurge on new and make the commitment and within a month or two it can be paid off. I have a link to the one I use in the description box.
If this is still relevant, check out the detail geek. he used a bissell spotclean pro for a very long time and while it can be a hassle (shorter tube, smaller tank) the results are just as good
I bought the bisel little green and it’s a beast I got cream colored carpet in a rental house 🤦🏽🤦🏽 and it picked up stains that were there for who knows how long. Also use it on my car and the water is dark dark brown when I dump it.
Bravo to you, good sir, for restoring this pigsty on wheels to usable condition. I would have loaded it onto a 🚀 and fired it into the sun.
Haha musk style
With your experience do you think that stains from mildew come off of carpet ? And leather . I have a 95 mustang convertible parked for 10 year. The roof eventually leaked and water got in . The interior was perfect when I parked it but now looks bad because of rain
It's amazing how many people in the comments have all the answers. Yet, you're the one with the channel and the flip profit
Was the carpet not cleaned outside the car at the Customer's option?
I guess 15,82$ in that vehicle 😏
nice techniques, is expensive in Connecticut to inspect, register, insurance but if buying at low price and selling a little high usually helps to make some extra $$$. great content.
Welcome to human nature
A dye on the carpet I think could have brought you more money. Great job though. God bless.
Looks like a Milwaukee Drill can you tell me the model # you use. Thanks
Welcome back, missed my weekly dose of stauf 🙏👍
Class work as always 👌😎
Heck yes! Thanks for tuning in this week! Like the flips? Want to see more?
I would've used a steam cleaner on most of the plastic interior pieces. I'm assuming you don't have one because you would've been using it too.
It softens up all the hard candy stuff and kills all the bacteria.
That vehicle was equivalent to a septic tank you cleaned it up great. Profitable job.👍🏾😎
Hey brother can you exactly tell me the name of the tool you used to suck up all the grime and cleaning mixture. I know it's a vacuum cleaner type machine but there is steam coming out of it. So please the name of this machine
Amazing job! Would it have been easier to take the carpet out and clean it outside the car?
I've had very good luck using Simple Green to dissolve grease in carpets
I see this in many detailing videos, so I thought I would ask: I see people applying product, agitation, then whiping the dirty product off. Without a rinse, aren't you leaving dirty residue behind?
Awesome video. How did you get hot water to spray out while wet vacuumming?
Steam cleaner would help you massively with the hard plastics 👍👍
I took my car carpet out and pressure washed it. Saved me a lot of time.
Great job! Isn t it easier if you take off the hole carpet and clean it with a power washer?
How many hours does it take, typically, for you to do a detail on a car this bad?
5-6 hours
What type of vacuum do you use for the carpet cleaning?
Manufacturers need to bring back real carpet in cars! That looks so much more appealing than what they put in now.
this is the first car I drove. so cool to see it being clean
I haven't watched your videos in a while but your edit in this one is amazing.
Amazing as always
Thank you! Cheers!
