Disaster Detail: My CHEAP Nissan Cube Was Ruined By SMOKERS
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 พ.ค. 2021
- A cheap 2009 Nissan Cube popped up for sale with a bad transmission. I jumped right on that and had it delivered to the warehouse sight unseen. We quickly learned this was a smokers car in the worst way. Ashes in the door pulls and cup holders, very strong smoke smell, weird stains on the seats and carpets... this car has basically all the worst issues you could run into. We're going to wash it, detail the interior, start the smoke removal with the ozone generator, and ceramic coat it with Avalonking.

The amount of happiness the cube r would bring is far greater than the momentary security that cube would bring
Flip it and move onto the next one. You know that it will cost more than you anticipate. Not to mention that it’ll be the most expensive cube in the country by the time you’re done. You could put 100k into a cube, but when you’re all said and done, it’s still a cube...
Cube isnt worth even a shit
@@Brian-jv8iy Yeah but JR doesn't seem invested enough in doing it. He even mentioned what he'd have to sell it for, so it's not like it would be a perm. fixture for the fleet. So it's not worth it.
Maybe Hoovie would like a nice cube shaped family car for his fleet 🤘🤘
I just made a comment about it, but the wheelbase on a B15 Sentra is nearly identical to the Cube, and even the S-ER and S-ER Spec V models can be had in rough shape for not much money. With that there is the option for a 6speed manual transmission and I don't think there would be as much issue getting everything to fit. While it wouldn't be as crazy of a build, it would still be unique and add some sportiness to the Cube.
@@NissanSkyline901, the base model Cube came with a 6 speed manual - clutch, shifter, etc wouldn't need to be custom built because there are already exact fit parts.
You're right, I would've had so many words for the contents of that Cube.
My guess is that tire gauge was bent so that it always reads the correct PSI and nothing more 🧐 😂
Hahahaha. Flat tire: Yup, pressure is perfect 😂
big brain moves right there
Really what can you expect? Anybody who buys a Nissan, is not someone who is good at running their life
@@kevinbarry71 dude gtr is also built by Nissan
@@hrushikeshghanekar yes, and the thing is almost 15 years old. And almost double the price it was when it was new
There is something so satisfying to watch a totally nasty, neglected car brought back to life with a good detailing. I always think if their car looks that bad imagine what their house looks like!
No kidding!!
Cube R would be a crazy video series. It is a terrible idea and I would love to see it.
I want to see you open that CVT transmission and show us what happens when ATF meets CVT. Maybe we can watch you fix it?
Cube R-35 FTW. That would be like a signature feature of your channel/the shop.
CubeR will make great content John , i'd want to watch that happen!
So many FLUIDS.
I've never seen someone be so prepared.
All the fluids that would be perfect for... some other car 😂
Must be a Boy Scout.. or Simba's Uncle Scar
But no fire extinguisher
So prepared
But with all the wrong fluids
12:33 When I cleaned the inside of my windshield and then looked at the rag...that's when I stopped smoking
Keep the flip simple. Getting back to basic flips once in a while is good.
Dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch all the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last days =)
@Marcel Casey yup, I've been using instaflixxer for since november myself :)
When a smoker's car is that dirty, it's time to pull the seats out to get it all clean.
I'd have done the same.
Whats the point, just toss some lighter fluid in the front seats and lighter up.
Its a Nissan Cube.... of all things.
it's time to go to the dealer and order an entire interior - plastics and all - even with an ozone generator it's a long uphill battle.
Never forget the headliner. Smoke smell will keep coming back until that thing is thoroughly cleaned.
It's time to get another match.
YES CUBE R!!!!!!! I’m ordering Avalon king with your code asap, you sold me on it, especially with the filler , my moms 2016 Buick Verano is a darker color and every bit of dirt and scratches show and she hates it so as a late Mother’s Day (her birthday is coming up anyways) I'm going to wash, wax and avalon king ceramic coat is going to make it shine like never before she's going to love it, thanks to you JR!!!
You do realize that if you do the R35 swap, you'll have to call it The R35³.
Anything you can do to improve the performance of the Cube should be done. A Cube r35 sounds like a good option. Oh, and what happened to the 67 Camaro?
Definitely need to do the R35 swap as far as content it would be a one of a kind and a viewer magnet
Even an SR20 swap or something that more easily fits in that tiny engine bay
Gonna need some of that ceramic coating for my toilet bowl. The wife will appreciate it
Hmm...you’re giving me an idea... 😂
I had wanted to use ceramic repair, but maybe you are onto something! :)
Bonus feature
JR, the camera clarity looked 100 times better for some reason?? Keep up the great content !!! Just getting better and better!!
Don't stop JR, I love watching you go!
Cringing hard at this ngl
Well it's not WatchJRStop so we're in luck!! 😂🤣
Flip it, you got bills to pay. 😄
My sister's car was so disgusting from her and her boyfriend smoking in it, that you got a headache from just sitting in it. So she had it detailed inside with a deep cleaning and the detailer had to run his ozone machine for 2 whole freaking days! He took a razor blade to the inside of the glass and scraped the tar and crap off of it. That's disgusting.
It probably still had the smoke smell!
I once moved into a house like that. 3 months rent off to clean it up. The brown walls... well. They turned out to be a very pretty peach. The ceilings.. the everything. It was horrific.
Smoking and smokers are disgusting
@@Canthus13 we moved into an apartment that was like that. We had small kids at the time and the smell was horrible. The walls were covered in wallpaper that had soaked up the smoke and everything else and transferred it to the walls. They tried painting and that didn't work. They replaced the carpet and that didn't work. We told them we wanted out of our lease because it was bad. The company refused and we had to get an attorney. Luckily I knew one amd she went after them. We had an inspector come out and she smelled it from the front door. She walked in 5 feet and then left. We were told it would take 3-5 business days to get the report, she did it that night. So they let us leave, then tried claiming our security deposit was theirs. So that was an attorney call. We knew some people that moved into the complex and drove by that apartment and it had the -Smokers Apartment-O² users please use caution- out in front. I guess they gave up.
@@SpiritDonkey it did. They chain smoke. Then when they go to trade in a car they act mystified that they get offered next to nothing for the car. I told her to quit smoking in her car then. She said she knows they have special cleaners and masking agents, they are just punishing her for smoking. I said yeah they are! They probably have to replace the seats, deep clean the carpets, redo the headliner. Her headliner was collapsing from all the accumulated crap and the smoke embedded in it. Just sitting in her car for 10 minutes gave you a headache, stung your eyes, and made you feel like you had a sinus infection, your throat itch and you smelled like an ashtray. Her detail guy wore a hood with an air hose on it. He specializes in smokers cars. He got 85% of it out. But the moment the ac came on, all the accumulated garbage in the vents blew it right back out. The glass heated up,and that got more going. Really the car needed to be set on fire.
Change the CVT and flip. I am looking forward to the CVT change as that is such a common issue with this generation of Nissan. Appreciate your tips..
I can only imagine how many feelings would get hurt by getting outran by a Cube!
The same way people feel when my 2006 E61 530d leaves them in the dust 🤣
It does have EGR delete, decat and a mild remap to 260bhp and about 600nm of torque 🙈
cube r35 sounds awesome!!!
Push it outside and toss a match. You got a Bar-B-Cube. Not to worry, you got a firetruck in case it gets out of control.
As regards to the cube, get em in then get em out!!! Brilliant video John Ross, I just wish you would make each one at least a half hour long. 🙂👍🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲
I live for your enthusiasm and car knowledge, also love watching what you are doing to your “sheds”, and really love the stuff you do with your Dad, that’s a clever man!. Keep goin JR, watching from Australia.
Looks like you had a better ICON delivery experience than Videobob did!
Usually when windows quit working, that’s a telltale sign of a smoker’s vehicle.
CUBE R. THINK JR THINK! YOU'D HAVE THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD! ALL OF THE CONTENT. IT's ENDLESS!!!!
Just sell the cube and get a cool xf jag or finish up the Rolls. Great entertainment. The hardest worker on TH-cam.
Just placed an order for Avalon King 9 for shipping to Germany, and your code worked, even for intl. shipping. Thanx man !!! :-)
What an awesome end to a video! Aw man...Seeing those tool drawers got me excited for you. That's so cool!
Hi from New Zealand! Motel/hotel operators use an ozone generator to kill cigarette smoke smell (and other odours) impregnated into curtains and furnishing. Worth a go?
That's what I always do! It's running right now 💯
Are you going to fix the glove box? The cabin filter is located behind it. Pretty sure it needs replacing. It will help a lot with the bad Oder smells.
The power of steam opened my eyes to new possibilities! Works on plastics and glass!
We all came here to this channel because he was a nice man working on car's with his passion and love for them. Somehow I have been seeing this across many car channels where they just take cars now a day's and flip them plus get paid for TH-cam videos at a tune of 1k per video because of all the subscriptions and views. After taxes they keep about $770.00 and like the Joker said "it's never been about the money, it's about sending a message" but these channels have lost that or are loosing it.
But it can all be solved with a ceramic coated on a cube R spec V
Maybe not full Cube-R but some performance upgrades might be fun
Do the crazy swap thing. Might not be "worth it" but who says you'd have to sell it right away lol. Might be totally worth the fun you have ripping it around. Wonder if it would get views, i would watch it at least.
I bought an old pickup that was a smokers car. Stripped it to the steel and cleaned an cleaned and cleaned . Replaced the seats and headliner, not too bad now.
If you wanna do something silly with this, there were supercharger kits for the scion xb/toyota bb.
Maybe there's something like that available for the cube, idk.
It's less stupid than a whole drivetrain swap
Great job guys that's cleaned up a treat!
The detail dudes are amazing wish wichita was not so far away id bring my moms car to get cleaned and ceramic coated
No one caught the Consuela the cleaning lady reference from family guy? Noo, Noo, Noo. We need more Lemon Pledge.
Can't wait for a full vid on the new toolbox!!
Had 3 cubes. Loved them. Only problem that each of them had were tire pressure sensors that go bad
Cube R35 sounds awesome. I'd follow that build. Hell I'm watching project binky frome the get go and still get excited for a new episode
“Every good detail starts with this.”
*wheels in trash bin*
Me: “That Nissan won’t fit in there!”
I remember my first detail on a smokers car I bought a 69 Chevelle and a vinyl interior that was an off-white and they were smokers and my friend taught me how to clean with soft scrub (reg sent)we scrub on that thing it took us two days to get the interior clean and all the smoke residue off the windows and seats and when we’re done it looked like brand new My guys are going to awesome job and turning this cube Around 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Amazing resultsSend it on down the roadHarbor freight is just killing it with their boxes
Flip it. A QR35 would be TONS of work and expense. Not to mention frustration!
Cool video!
A cube R would be a fun toy for the channel and awesome one of a kind project that would attract more gear heads to the channel and maybe something else Brent at PFI could help you with so good for everyone 👍
Should’ve clay bared and polished it.. definitely would make it stand out to a potential buyer.. people like shine and deep gloss.. it was ceramic coated and still dull 😥
In the '60's, my late brother worked for Harrison Ford ( the local Ford dealership in 02842). He prepared the new cars for delivery and always used lemon pledge to finish it off before the delivery. Narragansett Bay
2nd winter I love it!! Are you sure it isn't 3rd winter? This has been a strange year.
JR, once you get all the walls in the shop painted, a big cool graffiti artist work wouldn’t go amiss. Of course a huge Watch JR Go logo is a must 💪
JR check out an early '60s custom called "the Lil Coffin" from the first time I spotted a Cube it reminded me of that car, some of the design cues must have come from it. Mostly the roof and tail light area.
I need to come see the detail dudes and have them redo a couple cars we have. Yay living near Wichita has an advantage for once lol.
We would love to help you out!
It's always nice to have brand new tools!
Why did they sell the Cube?…..Ashtray was full. FairPlay cleaning that mess up. Looking 10 times better👍.
Cube R53 Nismo Edition sounds interesting, probably one might come up in near future.
I've seen a car where the owner used the center console where the P, R, D, 123 plastic cover is located to put 'out' their cigarettes. Melted it crazy.
That purple spray bottle was 100% Fabuloso cleaner. 🤣
Two suggestions
1 invest less than $80 on Amazon for powerful ozone machine with fan and timer. Run inside car with car fan on high with doors closed and windows up for two 15 minute intervals. You will be pleased with the reduction of smoke smell
2 collaborate with Junkyard Dave and DIY gang to put Hellcat motor in the Cube.
You got me today....i orderd a kit from AvalonKing... greetings from Germany... Fan from day one
always like these videos before i watch :)
Love the new tool box 😍
JR hope your going to do the wall of toolboxes with another round of
Avalon King. 🇺🇲🛠️🔨⚒️
You should try using the cerakote headlight restoration kit. It works so good
Yooo! Cube-R was my idea! Thanks for considering!
Just imagine the Nissan Cube-R at the track, destroying the competition off the line (uhhh... just no sudden turns #tippy)
What a combo. The inside of a car says a lot about the owners. When we used to have a rental house, we would peek in the car while interviewing. If the car was a dump, they didn’t get the house.
Your Nissan was an obvious kid hauler. Yet full of cigarette paraphernalia. Obvious responsible parents.
When I buy a “new” car, first thing I do is smell the car. Will never buy one which is smoked in. You even cant give a smokers car to me.
I bought a smokers car, once. It was the perfect one otherwise. Took it to a thorough interior cleaning and took about 2 months of deodorization to get it good.
It's not the end of the world, if you can stand the smell for the while it takes to remove it.
@@Vaino_Hotti yep I did that once years ago, will never do it again. Leave your car in the sun for a while, it all comes back.
I'm kind of surprised the seats didn't get pulled for that, be deep, deep clean. Still looks like a proper job. Well done guys.
The Cube R sounds like an amazing project if you didn't already have a few to get finished in the first place. You're right it would be hard to sell
Did you clean the vents and ac passages? Hope you did. As someone asthmatic as a kid, it’s a must.
An AC evap foamy cleaner spray would be good for that thing, for sure
@@SteveBassen yup saw that work in action.
Try this, we used to get old K9 police cars and used this to get the dog smell out of the cars.
Buy 2 bags of cheap apples, cut them in half and spread them on the floor add 2 bags of charcoal briquetted cut open, 1 in the front and the other in the back. Park the vehicle outside and give it a couple of days. Depending on how bad the smell is, you might need to repeat.
The Cube-R would be 🔥 I'd watch that for days. I have a Cube so I'd also be fine with some more basic performance goodies that could be done on a budget
cube JR-35
Super cool. I’d have one made if I could afford it!!!
I drive a Prius I keep running.
I have had my Cube for 5 years now, its a 2009 with 84k on it got it at 25k and never gave me a second of trouble.
Pros- extremely easy to get in and out of
the room is terrific
so easy to park
Cons- the CVT is not exactly great sounding or able to be pushed hard
Can barely keep with with Texas hwys, we drive fast down here
LOL Cube R, what a coincidence. A couple days ago me and my friend were imagining what it would be like if there was a Nissan Cube with a R35 engine.
Hey, got a link for that extendo-scrubo the details guys used on the cube's roof?
Does ceramic coating preclude later cutting/polishing? I don't have a good sense of how the surface behaves when you come back later to do other kinds of things to it.
I saw one of these yesterday on the road. I haven't seen one in ages!
Hi JRGo. You need to take all the seats out and vaccum everything out and make sure to remove smoke smell from the headliner.
The dumb weather just hit me last night in texas also
That’s so crazy. I’m a smoker and I smoke in my truck all the time. I always crack a window and detail my truck. It never smells like smoke. Those people must hotbox the car when smoking lmao
Trust me your car smells like smoke!
I’ve seen a few of these set up as mobile coffee vans. There pretty cool as a mobile cafe.
To quote George Carlin....
"Nail 2 things together that have never been nailed together before, and some asshole will buy it. "
Sema with an R35.
Great video..
This is a Detail Geek dream wash.
Making the cube into a RWD LS swapped sleeper would be extra cool, its damn near guaranteed one would see that coming. Bet it could be in the high 9s to low or mid 10s. Fast as f boi!!! 😁😆
I know this video's about Cube but I used to have a '13 Juke. I named him Jake. It was a fun car. I bought new and traded at 31K before timing chain or CVT failed....
Harbor Freight is loving you.
Love the ICON box
Also! Can you do a Review on those Icons? I been thinking on buying a set for my Garage.
Love the channel, and I have a couple of questions:
Why didn’t the Detail Dudes not take the seats out of the Cube and extract the carpet (not a criticism, just an observation)?
Secondly, instead of a “Cube R”, how about a “Cube SSS” and do a Datsun 2000 motor swap?
Side bar question: Can you let Jake use your garage so he can fix the Buick in one shot?
I’m surprised y’all didn’t hit it with an ozone generator for a couple of hours to help kill the cigarette smoke smell. I’ve turned a couple of cars around with them - kills the smoke smell from the HVAC as well.
Cube R 35! Cube R 35❗️ Cube R 35‼️ Why❓Because you are John Ross; it’s what you do. Besides, if you don’t, you know you will regret it AND you will make WAY more money on YT videos of the process than you EVER would flipping this car just fixed up! GREAT to see Jake in the shop.👍
No to the Cube R....sure if would be fun, if you already had those parts. Not so sure it would work anyways...and I suspect you have a time problem already. Haha. That toolbox wall....words don't describe how awesome that is!!
people get into my car and ask if they can smoke in it.. its 16 years old has over 300,000 miles but stepping in you wouldnt know i smoke in it! even with an ash tray it smells clean, i keep on top of my windows and ash does NOT go in the cup holders lol
40° !! That's a good summer in Scotland.
Did JR ever consider solar panels up on the roof? The charging panels in those sweet ICON toolboxes got me thinking.
I apologize if it was mentioned or considered before, I just watch for the automotive content and did miss some
of the warehouse refab.
