    Even when we were kids, my dad never allowed us to make a mess in his car. He passed away in 2021 and left us a Toyota FJ Cruiser, and even now when we use it, it is returned to it's parking spot clean and washed to respect him even after he is gone. This car was his absolute pride and joy!

    I hate the "I have kids" excuse for dirty cars. Growing up, we had a 1994 GMC Vandura as our family hauler despite five kids, it was always clean. It doesn't take but 5-10 minutes tops to clean up your kids' mess after a car ride. Vacuum it every week or so, I doesn't take that long either. I'd rather take that time out of my day than to drive a rolling biohazard.

I work in quadrants and clean around the vehicle trying to keep the vehicle wet as I move around then once finished with my last spot I dry the whole vehicle as well as I can with my drying towels but when I do my truck and my wives car I have to use a quick detailed around the vehicle to remove the hard water spots that might have gotten away from me and when drying it can leave a white streaking look which I’d why I always quick wax/quick detail after washing fully to get rid of it.

    This is a wild transformation! I was really hoping that tampon was fake. Like, girl, in the car? Really?!

    I couldn't leave my car to be cleaned and detailed without doing some clean up/clean out beforehand. I mean, would I really want to turn over my car to someone with it looking like an unkempt pigsty. I can't fathom turning over my car to someone with all that garbage in it. But, to respond to the title, NAH! I have seen worse on this channel. Bad? Yeah. But, not the worst of cleanups shown on this channel. But, of course, I wasn't there doing the cleanup. So, I guess degree of nastiness is relative. :0D

    When you APC and steam the doors does that affect the speaker? Like is it safe on all cars?

    What is the little squeegee you use on the carpet. It pulls up lint?

    Mitch you are the best car detailer in the world. I watch every single video you put out. Yeah, you can find some pretty odd stuff in a vehicle. I found a solid gold pocket watch under the back seat of a station wagon back in 1981. Lot's of pot in bags. People out there are crazy man.

    I have a 2020 Grand Caravan and watching this helps me with my OCD. There is no need for me to clean my car until I find another job not using my car. I literally clean it and the next day it looks like I didn’t even do anything to it.

    If you go through more than double the amount of products I do as a detailer I wouldn't be surprised. Great to see you've got some seriously effective products under your business umbrella.

    29:55 Wow. that car needs some brake work. Great video! I'm curious how you protect interior speakers. I'm sure you've done many and wonder how you clean the grills with the paper cones behind them.
