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.
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)?

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
Biggest thing I find that helps in my flips are better pics/descriptions. Often times they’re listed as “2005 civic. Runs/drives. $1000 cash” And then when you get there you can see several new parts or things that can make it more attractive on the flip. And i love the Cerakote Trim restore on my headlight restores!
Wow, what a transformation! Hard to believe people keep their car like that. Even older cars deserve better. And I believe the carpets are old school quality (thick), aren't they?
@@harshabiliangady3211 I've lived with atleast 12 bachelors in shared apartments during my 5 years in University and oh boi, I seriously pity these men who never grew up from being boys. They just straight up gross man. I took a fresh breath once I finally got my studio.
some of my past cars were like that, i was on the road 2hrs a day going to and from work and driving one of my friends around constantly, was always tired from work so basically i lived out of my car and was too tired to clean, the passenger side floor became a trash can with soda bottles and gas station food wrappers. now that im not driving as much i keep my car cleaner, sure it may get messy when im on a road trip but i usually clean it right after.
I'm a mechanic who also paints and restores cars, since i know everything i need about cleaning and stripping car interiors, one thing i never understood about professional detailers is why after so much work they don't remove the carpet and they insist on cleaning what i would have lit up in flames, the labor involved wouldn't be cheaper than a carpet pulled from the scrapyard that can be as low as 20$ 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.
@@ih8twin a running driving Honda will not go under $1k they run longer than most vehicles on the road. I sold a 250k mile 98 Toyota for over $6,500. It’s about what’s under the hood.

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.
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.
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...
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.
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
I’ve had civics and accords all the way from 1993 to 2002 and this might not be most popular opinion but my 2002 accord coupe v6 black all leather multi disc CD player fast good on gas still my favorite old school Honda to this day
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!
I dont understand it takes maybe 1 hour 2 times a month to clean and wash your car really well. To never end up like this. And i have 2 really messy kids that dont listen. I take them outside with me to help clean the car 2 times a month so they have nice clean cars when they are older. It feels so good to drive a nice clean car.
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
Had a buddy put an open bag of sunflower seeds on the dash of my 99 Tacoma. Seeds fell through the vents and every time I turned the heater or AC on I could hear them dancing around inside. Took 3 years for them to all eventually find their way out onto the floorboard. Just a random thought this vid made me remember.😅
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.
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😅😅
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.
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
Eeeew I wouldn't have let my tools even touch those moldy rubber parts. Soak them in a bucket with solution first and use a disposable brush on them first, then use the good tools. Great job by the way.
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.
I’ve owned two of these gen civics Trust me, this car ain’t worth $1000, $500 at best, these cars are known for leaking head gaskets and overheating, happened on both of mine I totaled the first one and the second one I sold at Carmax for $2000 with like 200k miles lol
I like how you made a hypocrite out of yourself by saying it's only worth $500-1,000 in one sentence and then say you sold yours for $2,000 with a bad head gasket!
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.
6-7 years ago I've flipped about 20 cars only with a little bit of work (oil change, detaling, brake, tires,...) maybe I start do it again, in Switzerland we don't have a limit of purchase pro year 😉
Great flip! I'm a car guy myself. Specifically a Honda guy. I currently drive a 2014 CR-V EX-L (same thing as this civic, but different body style and size). I definitely would've used some more steam on this car given the condition of everything. Especially on.the interior trim bits and carpet stains. Honestly those carpets that Honda uses are pretty weak and I personally would've just tossed that one and installed brand new carpeting myself given the condition of this one. That said I think there were also some areas of the carpet that could benefit from a lot more cleaning. Overall it's better but definitely needs more advanced deep cleaning to be 100% clean and perfect. Now, you said the body was rough? I didn't see it so I can't really comment on that but I do know that Hondas are very prone to rust and if there is any it should ideally be treated asap to prevent any further progression of it. You also didn't mention anything about the mechanical condition of the car. Does it run? does it not run? If it does run then have you been through all the gears? Does the automatic transmission still shift good? How many miles are on the car? Has the car been well maintained? If the mechanicals check out good or even if it does need some work it's totally worth fixing. They don't make them like they used to back then and if it runs and drives and you get all the mechanicals fixed and the frame of the chassis isn't all rusted out then it will make a great car and sell for a great price. What you got is okay but I've seen them sell for a lot more depending on the condition of the car. Looking forward to more videos in the future! Nice job!
Take vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice and club soda, make a solution out of it in a bottle. Spray the stained area, I.e., carpet, seats, use your drill brush and scrub. Let it sit for a few minutes. The steam vacuum. You can thank me later. Good work!
The funny part of my life is that I earn a lot of money, but I love detailing and do it as a hobby for friends and others. It gives me a lot of satisfaction. I also love watching 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.
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.
It’d be nice if people included what they’d have to pay in taxes in their profit margin. No one ever does that. We know that flipping cars for profit is taxable income so, it’d be nice to see how to factor it into one’s assessment of vehicles to flip.
Not exactly true, in Indiana you can sell 5 cars per year before you are required to get a dealers license, if a person is a dealer then you need to report the income, if you transfer the title into your name it is personal property and if you made profit it's irrelevant, the only problem is if you deposit over $10,000 the bank is required to create a paper trail of how you acquired the money.
It almost seems more worth it to pull the entire carpeting out, clean it thoroughly, and spray dye it. That bleach stain in the back alone warrants it. I did that with my 240k mile Civic and it transformed it.
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.

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.

just bought starter pack, excited to see how this product works!
You are going to love the apc and brushes… and the towels! Thanks
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!
Cool vid. The car gets a new life. Good thing that the interior, dash and all the buttons were still in tact.
Manufacturers need to bring back real carpet in cars! That looks so much more appealing than what they put in now.
I love car flipping! Thanks for the video!!
Love all the "experts" in the comments who know how to flip cars better than this guy ...
You did an amazing job but I think you should invest into a steamer. Based on other detailing videos, a steamer can take your work to another level
I had an 03 civic that had the exact same interior (when clean lol)…watching this was nostalgic for me
I've had very good luck using Simple Green to dissolve grease in carpets
Pressure wash that carpet helps out a lot
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😅😅
Bravo sir!
Great work. I own 98 and 2005 civics. Amazing daily driven cars.
You did a great job of cleaning it up and I think maybe I will try one to see how it goes.
I can only imagine how awesome that car smelled afterwards from just using the mint shine. Great job. 👊
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.
@@kiavaxxaskew the idea was to do it as cheap and fast as possible.
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
Eeeew I wouldn't have let my tools even touch those moldy rubber parts. Soak them in a bucket with solution first and use a disposable brush on them first, then use the good tools. Great job by the way.
I cannot believe the quality of that carpet , like shag pile compared to todays crappy carpets even in premium cars great job as always
this is the first car I drove. so cool to see it being clean
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.
Steam cleaner would help you massively with the hard plastics 👍👍
I love detailing it’s so satisfying I’d have done definitely tackled this one
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve owned two of these gen civics
Trust me, this car ain’t worth $1000, $500 at best, these cars are known for leaking head gaskets and overheating, happened on both of mine
I totaled the first one and the second one I sold at Carmax for $2000 with like 200k miles lol
I like how you made a hypocrite out of yourself by saying it's only worth $500-1,000 in one sentence and then say you sold yours for $2,000 with a bad head gasket!
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.
Amazing as always
Thank you! Cheers!
6-7 years ago I've flipped about 20 cars only with a little bit of work (oil change, detaling, brake, tires,...) maybe I start do it again, in Switzerland we don't have a limit of purchase pro year 😉
Lucky! You should!
🤯Insane transformation! That was actually a really good idea. Keep up the good work👍
Thanks! Will do!
Please! More flipping !
deal!
It's been a while since you bought the car to flip it. Great video
Yeah thanks! Plan to do more since it seems like everyone is enjoying them
That vehicle was equivalent to a septic tank you cleaned it up great. Profitable job.👍🏾😎
Amazing!
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?
Not bad return on investment for short ownership. What could you have done to get a higher return, was there anything that could have net more money?
I haven't watched your videos in a while but your edit in this one is amazing.
Great flip! I'm a car guy myself. Specifically a Honda guy. I currently drive a 2014 CR-V EX-L (same thing as this civic, but different body style and size). I definitely would've used some more steam on this car given the condition of everything. Especially on.the interior trim bits and carpet stains. Honestly those carpets that Honda uses are pretty weak and I personally would've just tossed that one and installed brand new carpeting myself given the condition of this one. That said I think there were also some areas of the carpet that could benefit from a lot more cleaning. Overall it's better but definitely needs more advanced deep cleaning to be 100% clean and perfect.
Now, you said the body was rough? I didn't see it so I can't really comment on that but I do know that Hondas are very prone to rust and if there is any it should ideally be treated asap to prevent any further progression of it.
You also didn't mention anything about the mechanical condition of the car. Does it run? does it not run? If it does run then have you been through all the gears? Does the automatic transmission still shift good? How many miles are on the car? Has the car been well maintained? If the mechanicals check out good or even if it does need some work it's totally worth fixing. They don't make them like they used to back then and if it runs and drives and you get all the mechanicals fixed and the frame of the chassis isn't all rusted out then it will make a great car and sell for a great price. What you got is okay but I've seen them sell for a lot more depending on the condition of the car.
Looking forward to more videos in the future! Nice job!
As an ex car salesman, it beggars belief how people don’t realise how much money they lose by not cleaning their car before trading 🙄
The extractor dumps looked like you had dredged the Mississippi. Insane change. Congrats!!
Yes! Thank you!
Is it wise to disconnect the battery while doing this, or are most buttons pretty resilient to water?
I’ve never had an issue with buttons
Bravo 😮
Good stuff 🔥
Take vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice and club soda, make a solution out of it in a bottle. Spray the stained area, I.e., carpet, seats, use your drill brush and scrub. Let it sit for a few minutes. The steam vacuum. You can thank me later. Good work!
The funny part of my life is that I earn a lot of money, but I love detailing and do it as a hobby for friends and others. It gives me a lot of satisfaction. I also love watching it...
When spraying any substance to the speaker, does it not mess up the quality of the speaker?
Damn they really left behind an entire ritz sleeve🤦🏽♂️ big mistake
I had a free lunch ;)
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.
Quick question, with all that process, does the smell goes completely or there's risk it comes back even after deep cleaning the interior?
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
You should really use a steamer more, it'll help a lot, especially with cracks and harder to reach spots!
Great work nice, loved your content and subscribed just now.....
Where do you get these deals from??
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
Nice work Jimmy!
Thanks!
I can imagine how their house will look if they can't keep a car clean. Good job
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.
you should do more flip cars like this.
I agree, it was fun!
I'm surprised you don't remove the carpets and pressure wash them.
Shew - that’s wild!
Only because it's a Honda, I WATCHED. Make & model, matters. FACT 💯😮
It was so satisfying seeing you detail the car and clean every ounce of those dirt stains using that steam sucker.
Amazing work
I would say a small dust pan with a brush would help more on the big stuff rather than picking them one by one. 😂
It’d be nice if people included what they’d have to pay in taxes in their profit margin. No one ever does that.
We know that flipping cars for profit is taxable income so, it’d be nice to see how to factor it into one’s assessment of vehicles to flip.
Not exactly true, in Indiana you can sell 5 cars per year before you are required to get a dealers license, if a person is a dealer then you need to report the income, if you transfer the title into your name it is personal property and if you made profit it's irrelevant, the only problem is if you deposit over $10,000 the bank is required to create a paper trail of how you acquired the money.
It almost seems more worth it to pull the entire carpeting out, clean it thoroughly, and spray dye it. That bleach stain in the back alone warrants it. I did that with my 240k mile Civic and it transformed it.
I was drinking my Dr. Pepper when 8:07 jumped up in my face 😂🤮
hahahaha tasty
Great job!
Thanks!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
This might be my new venture… flipping cheap cars. Great video… it turned out great for what you had to work with.
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.
I heard 5 hours at the end. Wow. That's a LOT faster than I could have done that. I need to up my efficiency!!
Good video. No intro delay, nice.
"side hustle" yeah everyone has a hot water extractor. The realm side hustle is this man's TH-cam channel
Dude a bissel on Fb marketplace is $30 used. I started my detailing on one of those.
Your comment just shows your limited mindset man.
At 12:00 there’s a good shot of it
