I came home after washing and detailing my Fiat Bravo and my friends Audi A4 after couple of hours start to drink my coffee and I see Rick's video how nice is that. Thumbs up Rick for nice work.
Uh....I cannot believe you even let the interior get THAT dirty....but then again, I forgot what it was like living north of Denver CO. Nice work Rick!...thx for the 20 minutes of escape
This is the best timing there is! I was learning for my exam for tomorrow, and boom, in the afternoon, you upload this video. I am watching it now, in the evening, to unwind from learning and to relax. I love interior detailing, it makes the difference between a car feeling like just a transportation means or a true "home". Good to see you found a use for the really small purple towels after all! Good use of sound at 15:41, it's just as relaxing as bird chirping to me!
I love how closely you watch my videos. You picked up on two details that many wouldn't. Those little "eaglet" towels are perfect for the console and instrument cluster and the sound of that drain capturing the water is pure music to my ears! I couldn't have done that without the drain because the temperatures were freezing on the other side of the door so I would have had ice issues.
Well, to me, detailing is all in the details haha. Yeah I remember the earlier videos in which you used the blue bucket to catch the water, this is far better!
Thanks Sam. I am about to take the little shards of towels out since we seem to be past the snowy season. I look forward to giving the SQ5 a really thorough Spring Detail in the next month or so, including a shampoo of the carpets.
Hello Rick. Havent missed a video yet since joining your channel years ago. Always the cherry on top of my day. Your audi always comes out looking so beautiful and elegant, its all in the fine details. Thank you for sharing another excellent beautiful video. Keep up the immaculate work.
Yup, you have been a steadfast supporter and I want to send you something as a token of my appreciation. Hit me up at radgarageyyc@gmail.com and give me your mailing address.
Sound track used in this video was PERFECT! My ultimate type of music for detailing, which already brings me some peace, is some chilled electronic like you’ve used. Great video and I’ll be sure to check out more after stumbling across your channel via this video!
Good job Rick, hard times for the car now...In Holland it is still not snowing, but lots of rain and dirth. Keep up the good work and have a good Christmas!
5 years that I've been telling myself "Buy rubber carpets for the car" and still not done... The black microfiber trick is a nice one. When I finally get rubber carpets, I'll do that too :)
@@RADGarage We barely get some snow in Neuchatel (only 400m high above sea level ). Plus, the roads are so clean that the snow remains flawlessly white. Best taxes use ever.
Hello Rick ! 7:30PM, back from work since half an hour and I already watched your last video 😊! Your car is really looking like brand new again, stunning ! I knew you 'd love Gyeon leather cleaner since my friend detailer did mine with Gyeon products. Besides I am going to soon test Gyeon bathe since I am running out of my CarPro Reset intensive which I really love. I was told it is a top notch Ph neutral car shampoo so let's see that in a while ! My Gyeon Q2M MOHS should be top slick and glossy 👍 ! Talk to you soon ! Take care ! Your french buddy Gregg
Yes!! I loved the video Rick. I always learn so much from you when it comes to camera angles and such. The SQ5 interior came out looking mint. I love Audi. Pure class and elegance!
Thanks Wayne. We are hanging in there and at least I have my garage to escape to when life's stresses start to build up. All the best to you and yours this Christmas season.
Really nice job Rick. I think that's the dirtiest we've ever seen your vehicle inside. Nice refresh to that fabulous Audi. I absolutely love that quilted leather interior. That's gorgeous. It's amazing what a couple hours of time and effort can do to bring back an interior with the right products and tools to like new condition or better. That Lithium Inner Space looks like it did a really nice job cleaning up the plastics and interior pieces. Nice matte finish too which I prefer. It doesn't look greasy or "fake", it just looks.....well......RIGHT! I have the Lithium Hyper Cleanse which is great. I think Inner Space may be a better option as it both cleanses AND conditions the interior. Hyper Cleanse is more of just a straight cleaner. Actually you could use Hyper Cleanse for the heavier soiling and then use Inner Space as a follow up and also any area that isn't badly soiled. I like the fact Inner Space has some conditioning properties to it. I am definitely going to give that one a try once I run out of my current interior products. Lithium Auto Elixirs have some great products for reasonable prices too.
Inner Space is a nice product. It brought life back to even the hardest of plastic surfaces. The seat back and kick panels have never looked so good. When this interior is immaculate, it is one of the nicest I have ever seen. I have a feeling this is going to be a long and messy winter so keep your eye out for a "Disaster SQ5 Interior" video at some point. This was just the warm up!
Yeah, this one was pretty standard. There's a whole other level I can take things to and I'll do that in the Spring. I will shampoo the carpets and use Gyeon Leather Shield to protect the leather. This is more of a maintenance clean.
Rick watching your videos and background music makes me go and wash my car in my garage again! Lol by the way love the extra carpet pièce which you seem to put under the same mats which I have, for winter purpose I presume?
Right on! Glad to inspire. I use those shards of towels to absorb any salty water that gets into the carpet and ruins my life! It isn't pretty, but it is effective.
You can't win. Some people have no idea. It looks like I neglect my vehicle, which is NOT the case as you know, but there's just not enough time to clean your car's interior every day.
I use a household fluffy duster, the ones you can buy refills for. They don’t seem to scratch. A Detailer I follow on Instagram used a medium cut polish on the clear plastic, but I wouldn’t be that brave. I’m going to try Meguiars Polish on mine.
My new "go to" is using an edgless TRC eaglet MF towel like the lavender one shown in this video with a light spritz of a good glass cleaner. Fixing scratches is a rabbit hole I don't want any part of. I guess you could get in there with a longneck Rupes iBrid Nano but I would fear making things worse. That's one of the true pro's imo.
I must have OCD. I have never allowed my cars to get that dirty. Understand, other priorities sometimes trumps car cleaning. Awesome job at the interior detailing. Have but haven’t used the Lithium Inner Space yet. May try on my niece’s new Lexus IS 350 Fsport.
Nice job Rick...btw have you heard about Tuxmat mats they really cover alot of interior carpet. I just bought a set for my Honda Pasaport they look awesome.Just a thought.
The first time I heard of Tuxmats was on a comment on this video. I looked into them. They are currently out of stock for the SQ5, but after close inspection they don't have a deep enough lip that they are going to prevent water from coming over the edge and finding its way to the carpet under my front seats. They do look nice though. If they get them back in stock, I'm tempted to give them a go. Thanks for the recommendation.
Because the lip is so shallow on that edge of the mats, water tends to escape the mat area and get into the carpet. Wouldn’t be a huge deal if it weren’t for the salt in the water. These towel shards absorb that water and protect my carpet from the salt.
i have the same seats but worry about brushing the leather with my gyeon leather cleaner as i’m scared the white stitching will turn cream/grey an help would be great
I have never heard of those. I'll hit the Google and check them out. The design of the floor in the Q5/SQ5 has such a shallow lip that I don't know if any mats will offer full protection from salty water.
They do look nice. $250 for full set, but out of stock. I don’t think their design in the front will prevent salty water from reaching the carpet under the seats though. I’d still have to use back up protection but they do look cool.
I'm considering this Bissell Garage Pro Wall-Mounted unit for wet/dry duty: amzn.to/2WkDLIz For only dry vacuuming, I really enjoy my compact Metro Vac n' Blo: amzn.to/3gUiv64
I wish there was a wet/dry vac that stood out from the rest of the crowd, but I have yet to find it. I currently use a cheapie I picked up locally. It's loud, but has pretty decent suction.
What are your personal pros and cons on the sq5? Looking on the market for a Daytona grey 2018 as well 😃 with flat bottom steering wheel though lol thanks sir
I honestly think Audi has produced the perfect vehicle with the SQ5. It doesn't have anything that I don't love. The FB steering wheel would have been the icing on the cake, but the round comes with the heating option which is crucial to living in this Northern climate! I give it a solid 10/10.
Thanks Mike. I have found Aurora Night on Soundcloud and he graciously permitted me to feature his tracks. Very talented and perfect for the mood I like to produce. Have a great Christmas!
Hi there. I use a wide variety of leather cleaning products. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of leather protector products. I find they don't really provide me with true protection and I worry about their lasting impact on the leather. That said, I have used Leather Shield by Gyeon a few times. I guess it is probably my favourite for when I feel the need to apply a leather protector.
I guess it would depend on how dirty the leather in your vehicle becomes and how much time there is between thorough cleanings. I am very particular so I am cleaning my leather interior on a much more frequent basis than the average car owner. Adding some leather shield can't really hurt, I just don't derive much satisfaction from them.
I wear gloves with most products for safety reasons. I am a little lazy with car wash soaps, but the industry tends to be cautious and wear gloves with anything you wouldn't dare ingest.
Nice job Rick! Dang that Inner Space must be something real special at $31 for what looks like a small bottle too. Is it that good?! Thx for the video.
Yup, as far as interior detailers go, this one is on the expensive side. For reference, Adam's Interior Detail spray is about $18 for 16 oz. I will make up my mind as to whether it becomes my "go to" once I have depleted the entire bottle. I have a ways to go. It was a nice product to work with, though.
I'll do the exterior this weekend. Very busy with work and Christmas preparations so I have to divide all the work up into different days. Thanks for watching.
Do you mean a dressing after you have cleaned the interior? I'm not a huge fan of dressings, but I have used Gyeon Leather Shield: amzn.to/3p3Lyac and Adam's Leather & Interior Matte Finish Dressing: amzn.to/3mxZTKm. How effective they are on plastics is something I am not quite sure.
Hey Rick, I was planning on trading in my 16 C300 for something like an SQ5. I was just wondering if there are any cons about the car? Love the video as always!
No cons whatsoever. I highly recommend taking one for a test drive. The 2021 is on my mind but I just love my 2018 so much I will hold on to it for many more years. Get the air suspension for sure.
Hi Alex! Nice to hear from a fellow SQ5 driver. I took my time with this video, but if I did all that work without shooting the video, it would take me an hour or so. With the video, it took about three.
Thanks for your feedback Rick! It takes me an hour too, but it doesn’t get that clean... I wish I had a garage like yours! Keep the good job up! Cheers mate
Honestly, the garage is the star of the show. Without it, I couldn't achieve half of what I'm able to achieve. It allows me to be fully equipped, efficient and just comfortable.
That Lithium Inner Space made the mundane task of cleaning hard plastic interior surfaces fun and rewarding. That says it all imo. I am going to buy a second Adam's scrubbing mitt and cut it up into smaller pieces for the smaller/tighter jobs.
I wouldn’t. There’s some ingredients in there that could leave your screen streaky. I am partial to using dedicated streak-free glass cleaners on screens. NV Clarity, CarPro Clarify, Gyeon Glass etc.
Truly wish I had a garage too and could make these type of videos. No stress just find awesome angles and do a proper deep clean. Awesome work Rick! Keep up the awesome content!
You summed it up perfectly! 🤘
It amazes how fast she gets dirty. Feels great when she’s clean though. Like a new car. This is why we do it!!

No argument from me. 👍
Just listen to the water run off to the drain...Got to love it! Great vid.
Every drip brought joy to my heart!
I like those black low gsm towels around the edges of the mats!
Or just get some weathertech for the winter. I was always for oem rubber mats but lately vag design rubber mats catch zero snow or muck.
@@eurospek The Weathertechs don’t protect that edge any better than OEM winter mats.

Killing it bro....heard the water running into that new drain too. Hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Yes, followers of my garage will understand how important and significant that water sound really is. Year-round detailing!
As always, tremendous video and so satisfying! Much love from Norway
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can smell how clean that interior is through the screen. Great work, great video Rick!
Thanks Jared. The floors are dirty again. Took exactly one day. 🤦♂️
This is so satisfying and relaxing to watch. I feel so at peace now! Detailing Zen!
I really need to tackle that interior soon. It's a total disaster at the moment. The exterior may be even worse! Winter sucks.
Yes!! I loved the video Rick. I always learn so much from you when it comes to camera angles and such. The SQ5 interior came out looking mint. I love Audi. Pure class and elegance!
Yes, it is a nice interior to spoil. I had enough time to really play with some unique shots on this one.
Watching that made me so relaxed, I nodded off! I'll have to watch it again!
I watched it a second time, excellence as usual!
I often use these videos as sleep aides and I’m not at all embarrassed to admit it!
Love your videos. I've taken a lot of your tips/tricks into detailing my own cars and it has helped a lot!
Me too.
I don't aim to educate with my projects, merely showing what I do but it is nice to hear you have picked up a few things to improve your own process.
Welcome back Bud! We missed ya Rick.. Nice Job... I didn't think your car would get dirty... LOL
Staying,

It's pretty amazing how quickly the interiors get dirty during our messy winters. This wasn't really that bad.
Great job as always Rick ... both with the SQ5 and the video production!
Thanks so much. I take a lot of pride in both.

Funny how much flack I took for my style a few years ago. I do see a few more of my style video out there. I guess that's cool.
Damn if I could enjoy doing interiors I'd do them more often, but I just don't like to do it. Great Job Rick
I find I have to be in a certain mood to enjoy interiors. This day, I was in the mood.
Fantastic job Rick, can't wait to see another video from you!
I'm going to aim for this weekend to finish the exterior. I want to polish and redcoat with a graphene coating. Hoping I can find the time and energy!
What’s your go to on wiping gauge cluster plastics to avoid scratches? What about fixing scratches?
I use a household fluffy duster, the ones you can buy refills for. They don’t seem to scratch.

As far as things go up here, this was NOTHING. The Inner Space is pricey but I have a good feeling you'll like it.
Excellent video as always, Rick you don’t spray Scotch Guard on your carpets for protection from the Canadian winters?
I did spray Gyeon Fabric Coat on them last year, but I find it more of a pain than a pay off.
Nice job Rick...btw have you heard about Tuxmat mats they really cover alot of interior carpet. I just bought a set for my Honda Pasaport they look awesome.Just a thought.

Heck yeah 😎. Great job!
Thanks!!
Excellent video as always and Warner Brothers needs to pick you up 😁😁

great vid as always rik thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good one, but what are these towels for? 18:49
Because the lip is so shallow on that edge of the mats, water tends to escape the mat area and get into the carpet. Wouldn’t be a huge deal if it weren’t for the salt in the water. These towel shards absorb that water and protect my carpet from the salt.
Another great one, and you still remain Unique!!
I appreciate that!

I am very particular so I am cleaning my leather interior on a much more frequent basis than the average car owner. Adding some leather shield can't really hurt, I just don't derive much satisfaction from them.
I noticed you wear rubber gloves for some product usage, is that really just security reasons? Are those products really harmful?
I wear gloves with most products for safety reasons. I am a little lazy with car wash soaps, but the industry tends to be cautious and wear gloves with anything you wouldn't dare ingest.
Como siempre genial
Como siempre gracias
Nice job Rick! Dang that Inner Space must be something real special at $31 for what looks like a small bottle too. Is it that good?! Thx for the video.
Yup, as far as interior detailers go, this one is on the expensive side. For reference, Adam's Interior Detail spray is about $18 for 16 oz. I will make up my mind as to whether it becomes my "go to" once I have depleted the entire bottle. I have a ways to go. It was a nice product to work with, though.
@@RADGarage got it Rick, thank you for the info. Was that a 16oz bottle as well?
Yes, the bottle I have says "16 ounces of enlightenment". Clever marketing.
Привет Rick! :)Ура! Ееее новое видео!:) а кузов не стал мыть?
I'll do the exterior this weekend. Very busy with work and Christmas preparations so I have to divide all the work up into different days. Thanks for watching.
What is your ideal leather dressing that works for plastics as well?
Do you mean a dressing after you have cleaned the interior? I'm not a huge fan of dressings, but I have used Gyeon Leather Shield: amzn.to/3p3Lyac and Adam's Leather & Interior Matte Finish Dressing: amzn.to/3mxZTKm. How effective they are on plastics is something I am not quite sure.
Ооо Мэн👍👍👍.похоже я нашел то что нужно.
Я рад, что смог дать тебе то, что ты искал
Hey Rick, I was planning on trading in my 16 C300 for something like an SQ5. I was just wondering if there are any cons about the car? Love the video as always!
No cons whatsoever. I highly recommend taking one for a test drive. The 2021 is on my mind but I just love my 2018 so much I will hold on to it for many more years. Get the air suspension for sure.
@@RADGarage I was thinking about the new 2021 SQ5 initially, but might opt for a 2019+ since finance rates are stupid low. Thanks for your input man!
I love mine. Truly love it.
Tremendous job and awesome vid! I own the same car ! How long does it take you to clean the inside up?
Regards from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Hi Alex! Nice to hear from a fellow SQ5 driver. I took my time with this video, but if I did all that work without shooting the video, it would take me an hour or so. With the video, it took about three.
Thanks for your feedback Rick! It takes me an hour too, but it doesn’t get that clean... I wish I had a garage like yours! Keep the good job up! Cheers mate
Honestly, the garage is the star of the show. Without it, I couldn't achieve half of what I'm able to achieve. It allows me to be fully equipped, efficient and just comfortable.
Nice
Need to tackle the exterior this weekend. Life keeps getting in the way!
Great video Rick. The adams interior mitt has to be one of my favourite tools.. how’s the lithium line?
That Lithium Inner Space made the mundane task of cleaning hard plastic interior surfaces fun and rewarding. That says it all imo. I am going to buy a second Adam's scrubbing mitt and cut it up into smaller pieces for the smaller/tighter jobs.
@@RADGarage that's a good plan. I've been wanting to cut up my old Adams wash mitt from 10 years ago and use it for wheels. I like being creative 👌🏻
I'd like to take it even a step further by somehow fastening a portion to a round applicator pad.
@@RADGarage I've seen people use a 3" mf pad on a da in interiors and that's a decent idea!
Awesome vid but what the hell is up with those ragged cloth under the front mats haha
At first, I thought you were commenting on my clothes! Those ragged cloth bits save my carpets from salt so I stand behind them!
how much time did it take for a detail like this?
I was taking my time to set up each shot so the whole project took many hours. Without the video, this would’ve taken me an hour.
Thank you for using my music ❤️
Thank you for allowing me to feature it. Seems viewers are really digging your talent!
Can you use Lithium Inner Space on Touch Screen?
I wouldn’t. There’s some ingredients in there that could leave your screen streaky. I am partial to using dedicated streak-free glass cleaners on screens. NV Clarity, CarPro Clarify, Gyeon Glass etc.
2nd from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
i heard the doggie barking in the background :) lol
Haha. He has a lot to say these days.
I think Need to change the chanel name to Audi Garage:) If seriously I love your videos!
They are my favourites.
@@RADGarage They absolutely awesome!
Who ever buys this car used will have one hell of a clean used car
I should get top dollar once they see the videos!
Lithium Inner Space is good???
I really enjoyed it and think it’ll find a permanent spot in my interior arsenal.
