I always imagine vehicles like this that you've described as "vile and disgusting" being sold by a salesman further down the line saying "as you can see the previous owners have really looked after this one".
i always wonder, the person who didn't care, in what dirt he/she is sitting for years, how much cared about services?
I'm just an old lady in USA who likes your videos, your personality, and your dog!! Glad to see you doing videos again. I like to clean my own car and have gotten some good tips from watching you work. I have a hard time understanding why some folks let their cars get so awful. I would be so embarrassed if my car was so dirty...especially the interior. Why don't folks take care of things they own anymore, especially when cars cost so much?
Dirtier than a stag do in Amsterdam🤣🤣😂😂 pure class.
🤣😂
Gary; the king of the one liners:
Could have been used to wrap bodies in.
It’s dirtier than a stag do in Amsterdam.
Danniella Westbrook’s wet dream.
🤣🤣🤣
Being entertained as well as being taught a few things is why I enjoy your videos. Thanks for the humor and for all the hard work you do!
Easily polished a grand into that wee thing ....Guy must have been absolutely delighted with that result , What a turn around deffo money well spent 👏
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to doing these videos, we really appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos for our enjoyment :)
This is proper valeting no need for this 5 day detailing videos. I love this channel. And I work at a prestige car dealership in London so know how he feels
Great video as always, good you are back. Dirtier than a stag do in Amsterdam…how do you know? 😏
🤔
I just love seeing cars come back to life. Great job, as always!
Hi mate hope you Amy and moose are well sending u all my best wishes from a very rainy Scotland 🏴
Outstanding as always, great satisfaction to be had I’m sure when you stand back and admire, would rather see these type of vehicles than some of the high end stuff that other youtubers do. 👌👌👌
i watch a lot of your videos. my car cleaning skills have gotten much better learned a lot of skills thanx
Glad to help 😊
Good to have you back, with a properly filthy abomination along with some nice music.
I’d love to see you use a black light on these before you clean….
2:34 “dirtier than a stag-do in Amsterdam” 🤣
wow its so dirty van i love detailing my corsa love your cleaning videos good job mate
Awesome out come as always. There is something about watching a filthy vehicle being bought back to life. It would good to see customer's response on the really bad one's if at all possible because i see the it at the end and really can't believe what can be achieved if you have the know how and want to put the effort in. Keep up the great video's looking forward to more. Thank you a big 👍 from me.
Question: Ever thought about getting a larger place? You could have a 2 bay shop; 1 to wash 1 to finish the inside.
Great video fantastic job stay safe 🇬🇧👍
Did Henry ever come down, after being busy in the tyre well 🤣
Gary you do such a cracking job on bringing these cars back from the brink, I'll be bringing my pride and joy to you, all the way from Edinburgh one day to give it a once over.....keep the videos coming
Good to see you are back - starting to get concerned that your business didn't survive covid.
It's been hard I'm not going to lie. But I'm back now and pushing forward.
Top work! Glad to see you're making videos again.. Moose too!
Question, what made you call him Moose?
so glad youre back mate, missed your videos
That’s what I call a 🧽 clean. Great job done You done
Why are wee waiting for so long for content Gary I really miss the channel you do s great job mate 👌👍🏴
Cheers mate. I'll try to upload a bit more frequently but it's been hard to get cars in for content !
I washed and vacuumed my Ford F-150 today for the first time in a while. It was pretty disgusting. I found half of a chicken nugget under the passenger seat my dog didn't finish eating from ONE YEAR AGO. My cats had to ride in it last week and it smelled like litter box. I went to one of those tunnel places where you can vacuum and clean out your car afterwards.
I have WeatherTech floor liners and it was super satisfying to wash the mud, dirty and gravel out of them. The car wash had a compressed air gun, so I was able to get deep into the carpet pile. The truck bed will have to wait until I can go somewhere with a power washer.
While Autoshine Blackpool didn't clean it, it doesn't smell like dog and litter box anymore. 🤪 Smells like air freshener. Nice.
Question: Have you ever driven an American/rest of the world left-sided steering wheel car?
Missed these regular videos man congratulations on 149k subs too man
Thanks! It had gone over 150k but youtube have taken some away when they clean out dead accounts.
finally another Autoshine Vid! Good morning from Canada
I watch from canada too!! Haha 💕🇨🇦
I’ve done my knee in so been off work the last few weeks, I’m into car cleaning an detailing myself & ive gone back through an watched most of the videos again 😂 Was buzzing to get the notification for this one 👍🏻 Cheers for the cracking content
Hope the knee gets better soon
I got long term life changing pain after I got down on one knee.....
@@mrt864 😂😂😂 yep same here
I've never had any problem using Magic Erasers to clean glass. I fact, I find they do an excellent job at getting deeply embedded bug splatter and other debris off the glass. On the other hand, I have seen Magic Erasers dull and abrade some shiny plastics. Certainly don't use them on plastic gauge lenses or headlights.
Smashing video. Can tell you enjoy doing it
Good of you to clean it for him when he gets out of jail.
Perfect! Like always!
More close ups of the extractor and not sped up. I have the same extractor, we love ours! 😊😊❤️❤️
Would love to see some owner reactions when they collect the vehicle if you ever got the chance/permission to film them 👍
Ps: Love the channel and all your videos!!!
Lovely Jubbly, another great turnaround Scottie.
That hoover bags probably worth about 2 grand now 😂
Another cracking video Gary! Love to see the transformation from a complete Shed to something half decent and the processes you use to achieve it. Keep em coming!🙂👍
Thank you 😊
Coming home from work to relax with a bang up car clean is hell of a way wind down. Amazing work as usual~.
“Coulda been used to wrap up bodies, I don’t know” 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi Gary, can you show the wheel cleaning from start to finish to show how many applications it takes to get the rims looking as good as you get them. 👍
Welcome back! Bit of flash editing there 🙂👍
I'm getting better at the editing. Still not great though but getting there.
Good to see Moose make an appearance. Your unit does look nice tidy and clean inside, floor looks good! Are they plastic/rubber tiles?
Most likely that one really filthy alloy had a sticking/ seized brake caliper.
The amount the rubber mats protected that carpet is unreal 😳 what an absolute stinker and as usual, what a transformation!
I’ve missed your accent!! 💜💜🤣
Glad to see you back!!
🇨🇦
I googled where you were because I was bored at work and I noticed two locations popped up for Autoshine Blackpool. One was Gary's Autoshine (you of course) and the other for Autoshine Mobile Valeting. Is that you as well? Also, does the silicone spray for the plastics have a scent or come in different scents or is it just a generic no-smell spray? I haven't seen it here in the States. Another cracking job. Well done, you.
Good job done ✅ but you should show the amount of extracted water from the carpet and seats
excellent job again
Anti-bacterial surface wipes? The irony 🤣
Another cracking job man, I was wondering how you get the seats dried out. Do you use a fan or something?
Cracking job as always mate keep the videos coming look forward to the next one 👍
Thanks Lee
Great job as always! Love your videos, and in my opinion one of the best channels on youtube. My question is this: whats your favourite vintage volvo?
Ohhh. I like a 90s T5 but on a recent look I seen the prices have gone crazy. I also like the late 70s one with the round lights.
My wee question - do you disconnect the cars battery before pulling the seats - if not is there a risk of tripping OBD error codes, or worse damaging or triggering seat airbags? Cheers from a fellow Scot.
I dont disconnect the battery, because you then lose radio and if you don't have the code you're screwed, I just don't turn the ignition on until the seats are put back in.
Always love your work Gary, Great music and fantastic banter, Keep it up mate !!
Thank you 😊
Maybe it belonged to a drug dealer that was on his way to Daniella's house when he got busted. Would explain why he needed a small van..... 😄😉
Perfect video for end of my week. Love the sounds too. :-)
Thank you 😊
Noticed your vacuum was kinda paranoid after back but mellowed out after ash tray
The bit with the drill reminded me of the electric fence scene from Jurassic Park lol
Also that cotton swab will haunt me like WHY 🤢
Loved the dog inspecting your work 😂 and wondering "whats he doing with my poopy bags?" 🤔 lol what's his name? I remember you saying in in some of your videos but it's completely escaped my brain!
Moose! I knew it would come to me eventually 😂 just popped in my brain
Yeah that's moose 😎😊
He is absolutely adorable. Love it when he pops in for a lookeeloo at what you're doing 😂
Poor old henry having to snort all that white powder !! hope you debagged him after that !!
I recon that van could tell a few tales!😃😃
Brilliant job as always (except for the silicone spray!) 😂
Question - car detailing involves a lot of bending and stretching, especially your back. Do you do any exercises to prevent back ache/strain?
Great work, this van cleaned up really well!!.
Another cracking video! Liking the new shop layout by the way, the new floor is a great idea
Ok, what's the weirdest thing you've ever found in a car?
There's been a few but a dead lizard in the spare wheel well stands out in my mind 😂
Great to see you back mate! Keep em comin
Great video again mate, you've been missed by many.
Q, Do you miss doing mechanic work? And could you see yourself expanding and doing oil and filter services aswel as the detailing.
I don't miss it one but as a job. I enjoy mechanical stuff on my own car though where I didn't when I did it for a living, now I hate cleaning my own car..😂
Hi mate, new subcriber here, just been looking through the items you used thanks for sharing the links, just wanted know what the type spray degreser you used on the engine bay and door shunts. thanks
That is one filthy van.How do you fix boot scruff marks from plastic door trim please?Great video.
See Moose was checking out what you were doing with his poo bags 🤣🤣
Yeah I did think that myself 😂
Glad you're still around Gary I was beginning to wonder! Look forward to your videos - Your graft is my chill-out :-)
I do have a question though. As you say there is a law of diminishing returns on the amount of labour you put into a job. So, do you draw the line on the 'big ticket' items you mentioned in this video or do you look at each car and decide what will make the biggest visual impact?
Depending on the customers budget and what the customer wants me to focus on really depends on what areas I put the most effort into. You do need to draw the line somewhere though.
Hi Gary, love the channel....My question is why do you not use the drill brush and extractor on the door panel fabrics? & suggestion is... have you ever tried using a steamer and then air hose for all the nooks and crannies air vents etc? you were talking about? Cant wait for your next vid!:)))
The door panes are only fabric glues to fibreboard so I don't like using anything to aggressive on them. I've even seen people pulling the fabric of with wet vacs in the past so you need to be careful with them especially on older cars. Same goes for the headlining 😊
Is Moose still enjoying his toy wheel? Did you ever consider racing professionally? If so what made you decide not to ... family, work, what
He loves his wheel thanks ! 😊
I'd have loved to race professionally. However I doubt I'd have been good enough and definitely not rich enough to fund it initially 😪
Believe me or not this is the best detail channel. Straightforward and no stupid promotional stuff on products. He just says link in description that’s it. Some other channels make video only to promote their stuff. Good job man
I do the odd sponsored advert I must admit but try not to fill the channel with them 😊
So glad you are back! I missed your videos!
Exactly the sort of video which made me subscribe. Disgustingly awesome!
Thank you 😊
6:09 I laughed a little too hard
Neglected???? Dude that's a good one on our fleet 😂😂😂
I got a question. I applied wax on my car but unfortunately I wasn't taking much care and some plastics got some wax mark that I can't remove. Do you know how I could remove it? Thanks in advance
Use a pencil rubber works a treat
really? I will try and tell you how it was, thank you!
@@272eddie Hi, it works great! Thank you very much, it has been a long time looking at those marks without solution
What would you look for when finding someone to detail your car Gary? If I was in Blackpool I'd head your way but sadly that's a 4 hour drive!
My question:
How the hell does G101 not dissolve the skin on your hands Gary!
It left my hands furry ffs 🤦🏼♂️
I don’t go near it without gloves now.
Although that was a 1:4 dilution so still pretty strong 😂
Also what Hoover are you using now? Looks like Henry’s been pimped elsewhere 🤣
I only use it about 1 to 12 so it's not too bad. Any stronger than say 1 to 10 and I'd definitely want gloves! The vacuums a kiam and works well 😊
Great video, some classic one liners! Quick question, what is the tattoo on Ur calf?
You do a top job mate I love all your videos 👍👍
Nice work..
Hi great content. Quick in. After time product and other costs, what is the profit in a detail like this. Cheere
Products are cheap. Probably less than £5.
I'd normally charge about 200 for a job like this.
24.00 totally agree with that part about the detail!! People wonder what they pay for but all those we things add up to the hard work that it takes to leave a car right perfect for a customer
Would cleaning products you use for cleaning the human body also a good use for cleaning a car?
Good question. I'm told two in one shampoo is great for use as a wash soap actually as it's really slippery. Apart from that I'm not so sure.
That carpet came cleaner than I thought it would!
That’s a proper job that, nice one mate! 👌🏼
would love to see some customer reactions when they come and pickup their car.
Hahahahahahaha I love your observations! Hide bodies and dirty stag do’s in Amsterdam 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Excellent transformation! Mate, job well done 🧡
I was so relieved when you vacuumed up that evidence... That was a close one . 🤭 Nice job , love the channel ...
😂
It looks like you have the B&Q G/series makita impact drill & standard drill there, just wonding if you could do a little review on them since you've had them long term? I keep looking at them but unsure of the quality because of the price of them!
Was thinking the same when I saw that green tarp.
The drill action in the seat bolt was funny. I was dying.
Yeah but did I fool you 😂
Do you find it necessary to recline the seats to clean that small strip that is perpetually hidden from view between the back and the seat? I used an 88 Ford Festiva / Kia the same way as this clean, on this side of the pond. Thanks again. Narragansett Bay
How big an impact does the size of the vac nozzle make? Should I use a smaller one for the kind of results you get?
Being American, I wasn't familiar with Daniella Westbrook. So I had to Google her to get the complete joke (though I knew it had to be about cocaine).
Yeah she was once a pretty girl but unfortunately the drugs got a hold on her and now she's barely recognisable. She's like the uk version of macauley caulkin
Great video again mate. When taking the seats out do you need to disconnect anything else (ie) the battery.??
As long as you don’t turn ignition on you should be fine
