What a CRAZY detail that was! Can't believe how good the Eos turned out, but boy was it a struggle to get there. The owner's daughter is going to be thrilled with her new car! Have a great weekend everyone and stay tuned - NEW Yard Geek video coming next Friday!
91% rubbing alcohol will remove the adhesive on the paint. Red dye remover is what is required to remove red dye from carpet and upholstery. Look it up it’s good stuff.
I wish you had a shop in South Carolina. I used to enjoy detailing my own cars. But now that I'm not physically able, finding a great detailing service locally is near impossible. 😮
I would have loved to see the reaction from the owner of this car, as I am sure their jaw dropped to the floor. I know how a lot of folks don't want to be on TH-cam, and that's their decision, but with the before & after shots of your work, the transformation is incredible.
Goo Gone is absolutely available in the US and that was going to be my recommendation for getting that sticky stuff off too. Glad you were able to get it off. Great job as usual!
I have been watching you for years and was finally able to get my teenager to watch and he is now enthralled. As kids don’t like to listen to their parents you have helped me show him what hard work, attention to detail and never cutting corners can achieve. Thank you for being an amazing role model. What a transformation, brilliant as always!
Dude, that car was a PILE!! But it's just unreal how good you got it looking. It's stunning. How people let their cars get like that is absolutely incredible to me. When it comes to detailing, you're the man, Mitch!! Phenomenal job yet again, bro!!
It’s not often that you have to vacuum the outside of a car before you do the inside! That protective film looked like a real pain, truly a test of your patience. I think this car had the most prep work of any vehicle you’ve done. But like always, you did an outstanding job! The change was phenomenal, thanks for sharing your magic.❤
I have an 08 VW Eos my dad picked out for me as my second car because of its look and safety features. It's been pretty reliable and is also really fun to drive around. Needless to say, it's my baby.
I owned the same car in Black color and Black leather seats. I love it very much and clean it every week .Thank you for saving this beauty ❤.From Germany🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
I vaguely remember that model name. The water pour was truly the worst. There have been some that dark, but not that much that dark. Pulling the film off had me anxious about accidentally pulling off some paint. The interior was like a different car by the end. A great way to start a Friday and end a week! Thanks, Mitch.❤
The windows being partially open is one of two things; either the windows switch is out of sinc with the motors and needs to be reset. Depending on the manufacturer, the process is simple and involves having a good battery, lowering the window and once down, hold the window switch in the down position for 8 to 10 seconds. Then release the switch from the down position and then raise the window and hold the switch in the up position. Once all the way up continue to hold the window switch in the up position also for 8 to 10 seconds then release the switch. If the doors are close, the windows should remain all the way up. If this doesn't remedy the windows problem then chances are there's a safety switch with the folding roof that has gone bad. When released from the up & locked position, all of the power windows should lower approximately one inch to allow room for all of the systems involved in folding and stowing the hardtop roof in the trunk.
Exactly. Amazingly, very few people know about the simple window reset. In most cases, it is due to a rough battery replacement. In Europe, some brands charge up to 300 euros if you take your car in for service for such a trivial issue. If it's related to the electrical wiring, a car like that isn't worth the repair.
On these modern coupés and convertibles with power windows and "missing" upper frame you can also watch that they automatically open just a little bit when you open the door (I'm sure that the roof has kind of a double-lip seal and when you close the door it raises the window again to push it against the seal.
I've learnt that procedure with the first, of the three French Cars that I've owned :D. My problem was the door wiring, that broke and caused my automatic window de-calibration. Then I've learnt that it's applicable in most euro cars :)
Thumbs up for goo gone. It isn't available anywhere outside North America. I brought a bottle from the states over 10 years ago and its a life saver for really dire situations.
Hey Mitch, you may have heard this before, but one of the best ways to easily remove PPF is a kettle of hot water. You can pour it directly on the film or use a microfiber towel soaked in it. Let it sit for a minute or two and then pull. Nice work on the detail as always. Keep up the good work.
YES… Goo Gone is definitely in the US all over, it works amazing wonders for all kinds of stain removal, getting off glue, paint, crayon, you name it! I highly recommend it also, Mitch.
That was an amazing transformation! It's awesome to hear about people wanting to fix up cars to get them back on the road again. Thank you for giving this car another chance!
I had an EOS for a few years until 2016 and that was one fun convertible to drive. Wasn't as much fun to take in for oil changes, because after 100k miles, the issues started piling up. Glad to see one come into the show. Also, not sure it was really meant to be driven in Minnesota during the winter, so I'm not sure how it makes it through a Canadian winter any better.
I been detailing just over 5 years now and you make me look like a rookie lmao i would love to get good as you one day and have all the proper tools you have to do it but money so hard to come by anymore, i cant hardly afford gas for my car but i would love to do what you're doin the way you do it
I'm so glad I decided to check the channel today! I had a stressful day at work. I work in the deli of a grocery store, so I often need ways to de-stress at the end of the day. This channel is one of my favorite ways! ❤️🥰😊 Great work, Mitch! ❤🎉
Mitch, in interior disasters like this and others you've done, aren't you worry about being pricked, poked by a needle or knife. Shoot I would use some sort of shovel, LOL. Great job as always bro. God bless.
Came across your channel today for the 1st time, I’ve been going through depression and I know this may seem. Weird but thank you for your videos. Watching you today relaxed me and also made me feel inspired that I could possibly do something in life also..I appreciate your hard work and again thank you for giving me some light in dark times❤
So glad that the vehicle got saved, always nice when I sitting vehicle gets back on the road where it belongs. My mom always wanted a white one with tan interior.
Sadly, folding tin-tops have a reputation for problems no matter who makes them. The Eos is not very common in the UK, and used car dealers shy away from them generally. Scrubbed up OK. Make it run and repair the seat and leave the roof closed!
@@foxstrangler I have no complaints, mine runs amazing and is very comfortable and soft to drive. My only complaint about the car is the roof and that’s it. It having hard top roof makes it different for me from any cabriolet
So sad to see an EOS in this shape I almost bought one way back They looked great rolling down the road with the top down This one is my favorite color
I'm shocked at how well this light-coloured carpet was hiding that crazy dark stain! They really did make them differently back then eh. Also, I had a feeling your secret weapon was gonna be goo gone lol.
I just washed my 07 Monte Carlo with your ACP for the first time. I had some engine problems and so it sat for about a year. The car looks brand new now and your ACP is excellent! I highly recommend it to anyone. I made a few spray bottle of it to keep in the house and out in the garage. 5 stars! Plus 1 😃
This was a fantastic detail. I couldn’t believe the coating/protective wrap on this vehicle. I never dreamed it could come off let alone not leave any damage! Well done!! I had an 08 Sebring hardtop convertible in the silver steel color that reminds me so much of this EOS. God it was a lot of fun to drive and gave me zero problems for the 7 years I had it. Any girl would love this car 🚙 ❤
I guess Eos wasn’t so popular due to its overprice - at least here in Brazil! I’m at my third convertible, being, the current one, Eos rival: Peugeot 308cc! A very fun car too! Amazing transformation, anyway, DG!!! Cheers from Brazil!!
Mitch, I absolutely appreciate the work you do and the way you do it. But it seems for the sake of clicks and views you turned from detailing daily used cars to cleaning rubbish abandoned non-driving shitboxes. Please show us more "normal" detailing again instead of all these barn finds.
Oh I couldn't wait to see this. The title alone had me dying to watch! 30:26 Yes! It is! It was used on my houses floor, and I couldn't believe how easy the adhesive came off afterwards!
Well that came out better than any of us anticipated!! Wow!🤩💜💜💜💜 I wondered why anyone would buy a car in that rough shape but if the dad can get the engine running, a good first car- fingers crossed for them! Another amazing detail.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The window not going up reminds me of my own Eos I owned many years ago, man did I like the car when I got, and was it an unreliable fest of electric problems and sensors going crazy. The transformation however crazy as usual, amazing work.
We have Goo Gone down here too. It was actually the first thing I thought of when I seen all the adhesive stuck on the car, glad it worked so well. I had never even heard of this car, you made it look great!
You make a good and a hard work at the same time, Mitch. Make a candy from abandoned and almost decayed piece of... it needs more than only necessity to do this work and earn your money in your case I have seen a strong sense of satisfaction the final result. And it's awesome when a man can do the work what he wants and do it with pleasure. All the best, Mitch, thanks for satisfying transformation.
It's hilarious how you always find at least one twoonie in these cars. I only found your channel yesterday but I've watched at least a dozen of your videos so far - and I'm someone whose vehicle is kept pretty near perfect. I keep a swiffer in my console to dust my dash, console and panel! Goo Gone is the best - but Krud Kutter is a close second.
The DEFINITION of "cleaned up good"! On a miserably hot, humid day, nothing better than a Detail Geek disaster detail--you know that the filthiest cars always make for your best videos. This one did not disappoint. You transformed this neglected, nearly destroyed car into something the owner's daughter is going to love. Even the paint was restored! Now if her dad can just get the mechanicals working again. Thanks for another miraculous transformation. p.s. Yes, we have Goo Gone in the States, and we also have Goof Off, but my go-to fave is Goo Gone and I've used it for years (though never on a car).
Beautiful redemptive work! I own a 2009 EOS, and they are super fun cars to drive and to own. You have to be very precise with their care, however, and they are expensive to maintain. I'm sure this was will stay looking fresh for years to come. Great and impressive work!
Awesome work Mitch 😎 I always use a specialty product like Goo Gone, Goof Off, or Rapid Remover to remove this type of PPF residue. Hitting it with 90% isopropyl alcohol first helps too
I can confirm Mitch precautions. If the paintcoat have chips or deep scratches it's a very risky to use pressure waterpump nozzle so close to coating surfaces. I have seen to myself how a bits of paintcoat go away staying only primer after it or even bare metal. And don't even think to clean this way a vehicle if you being known that the surface were repaired with putty. In this case risk to see your vehicle body naked increase in several times.
You amaze me at how you can transform these filthy cars! Haven't been able to watch for awhile, so I'll have to do some binging! 😊 Have a great week! 😁
When I saw the adhesive on the car after you peeled that plastic I kept yelling “USE GOO GONE” and I’m glad you did lol. It’s also available in the USA and I use it at work all the time.
Goo-Gone is available in the U.S. At the beginning when you where trying to remove the plastic film, Goo-Gone came right to mind and I was going to suggest it.
That's unreal!! Looks lots better too. She's a lucky girl to have her Dad get her a nice car like this. imo. Yes we do have Goo Gone down here in the south, anyway. With all the long, leaf (needles) pines and that gross sap, ya have to have it. lol
Completely astounded by this detail. I was wondering for the last few days how that mess was going to come off the front of this coupe. Still confused about WHY anyone would put that film on the car? Maybe it was there to reduce paint damage originally, but yuck what a mess to deal with. I knew the Goo gone was coming, how else would you remove that adhesive. That was a prestigious amount of trash inside. The AC car lighter adapter was cracking me up. That extractor pour!!! My morning coffee isn't that dark. 🤣 Not sure when this was filmed, but you're workouts are really working, and you have a tan line where your shades were. Good for you!!! The leather clean up was great. I can see why 12 hours was needed for this transformation. OK, one last thing, that hood ornament in the grill was misaligned and drove me bananas. This was outstanding work Mitch! Have a wonderful weekend!!! 💜💜💜
Haha yeah I’m not a fan of PPF either for a lot of reasons, but this was definitely a worst case scenario and a reminder that it needs to be replaced every few years! That water pour was mind boggling nasty haha. Thanks for the kind words Joel, have a great weekend!! Got a VERY interesting and crazy one coming for you guys next week!
What a CRAZY detail that was! Can't believe how good the Eos turned out, but boy was it a struggle to get there. The owner's daughter is going to be thrilled with her new car!
Have a great weekend everyone and stay tuned - NEW Yard Geek video coming next Friday!
I have an 08 Yukon that could set a new benchmark for worst detail lol
amazing job like 90 % but you forget to clean seat belt, big fans keep doing the great job

I would have LOVED to have a cute little car like this for my first vehicle! What a lucky girl.
It is adorable! What a lovely gift from the father!
I had the same thought when looking at the transformation 💞
Goo Gone is absolutely available in the US and that was going to be my recommendation for getting that sticky stuff off too. Glad you were able to get it off. Great job as usual!
Yes! I was gonna say I would have started with that lol awesome either way.
Always in my cabinet! - watching from Lake wales, Florida
They also have a Google Gone Automotive blend that works really well and they say it’s specifically designed not to hurt weak paint.
yeah not just available here, it's made here. Goop Off works pretty well also.
Also Kerosene.
I have been watching you for years and was finally able to get my teenager to watch and he is now enthralled.

@@TheDetailGeekevery time you do a detail I wonder what kind of magic you used to make it look that good
@@mastergamerjmo The same magic he used to make his brother Mike disappear. :)
A new detail geek video on my bday is the best gift ever
Happy bday
Happy Birthday!!
Happy birthday. May it be fun and safe.
Happy birthday!
@@TheDetailGeek thank you
I have an 08 VW Eos my dad picked out for me as my second car because of its look and safety features. It's been pretty reliable and is also really fun to drive around. Needless to say, it's my baby.
the VW logo on the grille being tilted like that is bothering me so much
Me too.
That makes 3 of us lol
I'm sure he could tilt it back if he wanted to, disappointed
😂
Well Alice it seems we both have autism, haven't we
This channel has completely changed the way how I clean my car. Greetings from Dalton, Georgia USA
Dalton GA? Isn't that where you go to get the great deals on carpet?
@@teret6719 they make carpet there. Deals? Eh kinda lol
I owned the same car in Black color and Black leather seats.
I love it very much and clean it every week .Thank you for saving this beauty ❤.From Germany🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

i love how cars, interior and exterior, change color when this guy cleans them 😊
Thumbs up for goo gone. It isn't available anywhere outside North America. I brought a bottle from the states over 10 years ago and its a life saver for really dire situations.
I've used a product Goo B Gone, not sure if that's the same, but it works.
We have "sticky stuff remover" in the uk, it's awesome stuff. I love the name goo gone lol
@@Dodgystitch let's just say last time I needed some glue residue removed, I was suggested paint thinner.
Goo gone is definitely available in the UK 🇬🇧
this transformation deserves an owner's reaction

He has a steamer that would work great too
YES… Goo Gone is definitely in the US all over, it works amazing wonders for all kinds of stain removal, getting off glue, paint, crayon, you name it! I highly recommend it also, Mitch.
It's amazing that the interiors of these cars you detail resemble a landfill on wheels. Great detail on this one.
All I can say is... wow!! you have special hands for detailing. "Bravo"
Thank you very much!
That was an amazing transformation! It's awesome to hear about people wanting to fix up cars to get them back on the road again. Thank you for giving this car another chance!
I used to own a VW EOS about 12 years ago. I loved it. I never had any problems with the roof or windows. Great job Mitch. ❤️🖖

When you were putting out countless number of coffee sticks from driver's door panel I was almost assured that next will be coffee machine 😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That extraction water definitely looked like some cheap coffee

Found you in Lockdown and never stopped watching.
Same!! :)
By far my favorite. I had a white 2009 VW EOS when I was younger. I LOVED it. I would love to have one again.
Mitch, in interior disasters like this and others you've done, aren't you worry about being pricked, poked by a needle or knife. Shoot I would use some sort of shovel, LOL. Great job as always bro. God bless.

Oh man I agree. I own a facelift 2013 Eos and the worst about it is the leaking roof. I love the car and it’s zippy.
Sadly, folding tin-tops have a reputation for problems no matter who makes them. The Eos is not very common in the UK, and used car dealers shy away from them generally. Scrubbed up OK. Make it run and repair the seat and leave the roof closed!

Well done! AMAZING detail Mitch
Mitch this car looks absolutely amazing and that goo gone works awesome his daughter going to be thrilled with her new car have a great weekend mitch
Thanks, you too!
It’s my dream to have my car detailed by this guy..my poor 2015 looked a mess when I got it and now it’s worse between my baby and my husband
It came out fantastic! I am sure his daughter will love it! I hope she sees this video to see what it looked like before you worked your magic.
ND here. In the beginning, I was thinking, why doesn’t he use Goo Gone? And in the end you did. 😊
Yup… I wish I had invented Goo Gone!
Awesome job plus your magic you got the plymouthDuster loking like new again
The best way to remove adhesive residue is with WD-40. It totally surpasses Goo Gone. It removes anything and doesn’t affect the paint at all.
Remarkable transformation Mitch! There's the reason you have 3.5 Million Subs! truly remarkable mate what a job!
Thank you!
I'm shocked at how well this light-coloured carpet was hiding that crazy dark stain! They really did make them differently back then eh.
Also, I had a feeling your secret weapon was gonna be goo gone lol.
WOW! Your standard of excellence is top notch, Mitch! I am continually impressed by the outcomes and transformations. #AnotherWin
Wow, thanks!
@@TheDetailGeek new nickname alert - Masterclass Mitch!
You can tell a lot about a person by how clean their car is.
I use the Goo Gone as well. Works very well at cleaning up sticky messes and old wiring harnesses.
The suction power of your vac system is champion level.
I just washed my 07 Monte Carlo with your ACP for the first time. I had some engine problems and so it sat for about a year. The car looks brand new now and your ACP is excellent! I highly recommend it to anyone. I made a few spray bottle of it to keep in the house and out in the garage. 5 stars! Plus 1 😃

You do fantastic with all vehicle Mitch have a great weekend.
Thanks, you too!
Give a Big 👍🏼 to The Detail Geek!!
Goo Gone is available in the US and it's a miracle worker! I love Goo Gone!
Top tip: apply tape at the bottom of a gap and work upwards. It overlaps the tape better and helps prevent water draining off.
Second video after finding this channel today. Pretty inspirational there Mitch. While you detailed this car, I detailed my kitchen.
24:15 - How Tim Hortons brews their coffee

I guess Eos wasn’t so popular due to its overprice - at least here in Brazil! I’m at my third convertible, being, the current one, Eos rival: Peugeot 308cc! A very fun car too!
Amazing transformation, anyway, DG!!! Cheers from Brazil!!
WOW THATS DIRTY 😅😅😅

As a retired automotive machinist and lover of German cars this made me want to cry. Great job. I’m subscribing
Great job brother. From one detailer to another. Your work speaks for itself. A cut above
This spectacular transformation is a welcome sight for this Eos. You need a good long rest after this detail.
I have watched so many of your videos but never commented. Really like your personality and you do beyond a great job.

Hey Mitch,
VW looks good. Goo Gone works really well.
As Always Amazing!!!❤
We have Goo Gone down here too. It was actually the first thing I thought of when I seen all the adhesive stuck on the car, glad it worked so well.
I had never even heard of this car, you made it look great!
Thank you!
This car looks so good after you cleaned it up Mitch! The EOS has such an adorable design.
I’m from California and if I ever travel and visit Canada definitely hitting this man for the job to detail my cars and my trucks 💯
I’ve seen so many of your detailing videos - this is another classic!! Unbelievable transformation!!!

And it's awesome when a man can do the work what he wants and do it with pleasure. All the best, Mitch, thanks for satisfying transformation.
Simply amazing. You brought this car back to life.
I use Goo Gone all the time on leftover adhesive from decals and stickers. Available in the U.S.
This doesn’t even look like the same car. You did a fantastic job

Awesome, glad to hear it!
You amaze me at how you can transform these filthy cars! Haven't been able to watch for awhile, so I'll have to do some binging! 😊
Have a great week! 😁
When I saw the adhesive on the car after you peeled that plastic I kept yelling “USE GOO GONE” and I’m glad you did lol. It’s also available in the USA and I use it at work all the time.
Goo-Gone is available in the U.S. At the beginning when you where trying to remove the plastic film, Goo-Gone came right to mind and I was going to suggest it.
That's unreal!! Looks lots better too. She's a lucky girl to have her Dad get her a nice car like this. imo. Yes we do have Goo Gone down here in the south, anyway. With all the long, leaf (needles) pines and that gross sap, ya have to have it. lol
You really outdid yourself on this one Mitch! Keep up the great work!
Wow, what a transformation! Awesome job, Mitch! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
It’s finally Friday ❤ thanks for another entertaining video 😊 have a wonderful weekend Mitch ❤😊
Completely astounded by this detail. I was wondering for the last few days how that mess was going to come off the front of this coupe. Still confused about WHY anyone would put that film on the car? Maybe it was there to reduce paint damage originally, but yuck what a mess to deal with. I knew the Goo gone was coming, how else would you remove that adhesive. That was a prestigious amount of trash inside. The AC car lighter adapter was cracking me up. That extractor pour!!! My morning coffee isn't that dark. 🤣 Not sure when this was filmed, but you're workouts are really working, and you have a tan line where your shades were. Good for you!!! The leather clean up was great. I can see why 12 hours was needed for this transformation. OK, one last thing, that hood ornament in the grill was misaligned and drove me bananas. This was outstanding work Mitch! Have a wonderful weekend!!! 💜💜💜
Haha yeah I’m not a fan of PPF either for a lot of reasons, but this was definitely a worst case scenario and a reminder that it needs to be replaced every few years! That water pour was mind boggling nasty haha. Thanks for the kind words Joel, have a great weekend!!
Got a VERY interesting and crazy one coming for you guys next week!
You did an amazing job on the adhesive and dirt the interior was gross the car looks great. Keep up the great work
Thank you! Cheers!

You always bring back the best in these disaster details. Nice work!
