Does anyone have an explanation for the cacti growing under the seats?!? Tune in next week to see the satisfying conclusion to this DISASTER detail, complete with the owner's reaction! You don't want to miss it!
I would love to see a tour of your house on your either channel. The outside looks incredible
Don’t threaten us with a good time we would love a 50 or 60 minute video😂
❤ ❤0
Where r u located and how much is the price of a detail ?
@@africanchica5He should of already taken Us All on a Home Tour when the house was completed and b4 he moved n.
*Hopefully he filmed all this 4 a future video.
I bet he got all new furniture and everything!
Old furniture n the shop.
I call it Korner.(where the old chair sits n the Korner Shop)😂
At some point, your "worst detail ever" is gonna have you in a full Hazmat suit and hood at the rate you are going. Thats some nasty shit in that Jeep. As always, your work is amazing. Countless times I watch your details and think "I want to do that to my car". Then I realize all the work that goes into it and the fact Im lazy and think "Eh, maybe another day!"
😂me too!
I can already picture what the video is gonna be like. "Today I'll be working on this car that has been sitting in middle of nuclear waste bump for 10 years."
Next video: “I revived a scrapyard car”
I love all of my White brothers and sisters.
😂 Right. He's slowly working his way to detailing a vehicle that's only a framework.
Way better than “I detailed a 2024 car that hasn’t been cleaned since last Tuesday”
@@RAWLINGZZ He did a detailing of a brand new Caddy SUV for a dealer before delivered to the customer.
I have seen scrapyard vehicles in better shape than this one...
I'm not sure why someone would want to restore it if not for sentimental reasons because financially it's not worth it.
Have any of the owners of the cars that are being restored ever came back to show you how the restoration turned out? I would love to see an update video on some of the cars.
Not yet! I think the few I’ve done likely aren’t restored yet, but I’ll certainly follow up with them to check!
@@TheDetailGeek this will be such amazing content then you could truly do the beginning when it was trashed and show a montage to fixed
I agree. I would love to see some of these old cars running again after the amazing job you do. There must be a restoration repair shop in your region you partner with!? I wonder if WD-40 & a breaker bar would have gotten those bowls loose.
Would love to see that,too!!
Yeah, great idea. I'd love to see that 🎉😊
I Know you're not a mechanic, but do consider buying a breaker bar for loosening those stubborn nuts or bolts. They're cheap and effective. Also a bit of WD40 does wonders. And regarding the tailgate lock, if you would have removed the seven flathead screws which hold the panel underneath the latch on the inside of the tailgate, you could have unlocked and opened it that way. Nice car either way.
I thought the same thing with the panel to unlock the tailgate also your right on the breaker bar and maybe some heat would've broken the seat bolts loose.
I thought the same thing too. Breaker bar at Harbor Freight.
some WD-40 in a Harbor Freight Breaker Bar and you won't break those bolts off
@thedetailgeek I'll be honest - longer form videos are something I don't mind...
Good to know!
Agree. Give ya boy 60 mins of escapism
See Andrew Camarata! hours long and years in the making sometimes!
Yes same, I would have watched it even if it was 1h long, this Jeep is really something 😮
I'm used to watching videos 2-3 hours long, so I'm fine. :)
Some people are saying this is a junkyard car. Clearly they’ve never watched pole barn garage or junkyard digs. Almost every car deserves another chance, especially one like this.
"Who has time to watch a 50 minute TH-cam video?"
Me, I do, a sahm whos 8m old adores your videos 😅
Heck, so do I and I work outside the home! 50 minutes is child's play compared to a lot of other videos I watch😂
Also your 8 month old has great taste already
Haha same ! We just got my 7m old to sleep and now this is my meditation before bed ! Cheers to your family 💚
I put the videos on for me but the music helps get my 2yo down for a nap
Hey Mitch, have you ever considered doing a follow-up video on some of these vehicles you’ve done, in some cases horrifying, restoration prep work on to see what they look like after they are made pretty again? I know I’d love to see them.
Thought the same
Great idea.
Isn’t that exactly what he does at the end of the video when he’s done?
@@judytressler7033 I think he's referring to once it's left Mitch's shop and a few weeks or.months down. Maybe even some of the ones that Mitch was detailing for restoration work.
That is the SJ Wagoneer and it looks like it has the 327 AMC engine from Rambler in it. There were a number of engines used, one being the 350 Buick Dauntless engine that was a popular engine option. That vehicle was in production until 1991; 4 years after Chrysler bought AMC and still used the 5.9 liter AMC engine with the Motorcraft 2100 carburetor. GREAT VIDEO!
This wins the award for most random stuff in the cargo area (Chinese checkers? Scuba fin? Snoopy? And what’s with all of the jar rings?)
Literally not even close to the random things I’ve pulled out of my car from my kids 😂
Seeing older cars get cleaned are definitely better than new cars
Yes, really interesting to see the differences in how the interior was put together compared to today's cars.
1965, the year of my birth. The Jeep has fared the last 59 years better than I have. 😂
😂😂
I got an 81 landcruiser which is younger than me. In surprisingly good condition considering it's in CanadA
I believe that
That’s just because no one painted you orange and blue
My husband and I bought an 84 Wagoneer off a friend for $500…we thought we got a steal…very quickly we put $1500 worth of new or rebuilt parts and it ran just enough to around the block and die…well in the midst of all that I bought some brushes and a wet/dry vac and boy did that shag carpet make it a workout! Kudos my dude!!
Cactus will grow on almost anything. We had a small cactus that sat up on a bookcase. Apparently it was dropping little segments behind the bookcase because later when we went to move the bookcase there was a cactus forest rooted into the carpet back there.
And yet, give me a cactus and I'll manage to kill it. I can grow *anything*. But can't seem to keep a cactus alive.
16:43 NO!!!! NO SNOOPY NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
I wept too
I immediately thought about putting him in a washing machine and then back into the cleaned car... 😢
My little brother had the exact Snoopy when we were kids!
Needed to be rescued.😢
That interior had its own ecosystem 🧐
Yep, makeshift terrarium
As someone who lives in Arizona we have packrats that bring cacti into small places, so I’m guessing something similar put all that cactus there. I’ve opens the hood of my car to find cactus several times 😂
Yup, same just north here in Nevada. It seems this Wagoneer spent some time in a desert before it ended up in British Columbia.
Is a packrat an animal? I've only heard the word as a description for a light hoarding human. 😂 Never thought about the origin!
Central BC has a small desert climate. I grew up in the dry arid section of the okanagan, and have stepped on small cacti like that before in the dry brush.
@@CeeQuin I didn't know that - interesting. That is probably the answer.
That would also explain all the grass seeds too.
As a BC resident myself.... I'm pretty sure those are pine needles from Pine Trees... they're everywhere here!!! 🌲🌲 Had a HUGE one at a former place I lived at and every fall my car/windshield would be covered in them!!! 🤦♀️😂 Also.... I wouldn't mind an hour long video!!! I watch them on TH-cam all the time!!! 😁👍🏾👍🏾 Can't wait for part 2!!! 😍😍
I came to say this! I’m not from BC, I’m from the pnw so VERY Familiar with thoes little shits… I love pine trees they smell so good and are actually very pretty but damn do they EVERY WHERE!!
These are pretty tiny for pine needles. They look the size of grass seed.
Good job Mitch! I believe what appeared to be cacti were actually spines, which grow on the cactus. The spines can detach easily from the plant and blow away in a slight breeze. Essentially, they are similar to leaves on a tree. I’m guessing they blow into cars like leaves do. Deserts are usually very windy so when a car door is opened, a lot get in.
Oh, I had no idea. Thank you for explaining, 🙌
You underestimate how much I am absolutely down for an hour long video of this, lol. Remember that some of probably aren't intently watching things like this. Vs having it on a secondary monitor.
Agreed. It's like some newfangled form of therapy. This and yard maintenance channels is how I unwind.
Yes! Or shockingly falling asleep to it. I love a good full hour without having to find another video.
Someone needs to invent a boar’s hair brush with a hollow handle that can fit the business end of a vacuum hose…. That way you can brush away the surface dirt and vacuum it up all with just one tool.
That's you Carol. Shark Tank.
Front grill, headlight buckets and bumper looks fairly straight and IS all there !!
ALL the glass looks good as well !!
That’s so crazy that even Cacti plants were growing in it!
If that vehicle came from British Columbia, that means it came from the Kootenay, Chilcotin, or Thompson region where cacti does grow.
Came here to say the same thing! Not many places here in BC with Cactus.
Being a Jeep the old owners likely took it everywhere and simply tracked in some cactus seeds in with the dirt. Does not take much for them to grow even minimal moisture.
Looking forward to pt. 2! You pulling out the scuba flippers made me lol! See ya next week!!
Haha that was an odd find for sure! See you next week!!
A detailing you say? That's a restoration my man. Very nice 👍
Old game of Chinese checkers reminds me of my youth. My grandma had a set long ago.
“Who the heck has that time to watch a video”
It’s me. I have time.
A Scooby Doo mystery machibe reference, a snoopy plush, and a game of parcheesi I am feeling super nostalgic now. Also, great job on the wagoneer, I can't wait to watch the second half
Dude, you need to invest in a PPE suit, it's crazy to be cleaning mountains of mouse poop with almost your bare hands.
“Double glove” at the least if you don’t do anything else.
@@CKN215yep, the WHOLE TIME I was thinking “Mitch, you’re gonna get hanatavirus from this one for sure!!”
Hantavirus is a respiratory virus and is only transmitted by inhaling aerosolized virus particles from mouse droppings so as long as he's wearing an N95 mask, or higher (which he is), he's fine. The gloves he's wearing are fine to protect him from everything else. You can't absorb hantavirus through your skin.
Blue and orange are my fav combos!cacti kid collection.how could you throw vintage snoopy away? I said nothing when you tossed the aged patinaed glass out!
Please ask the new owners to come along and show us the Finished job when they complete their restoration project
😤🤪
This is a HUGE job to do what they're intending, but would be cool to see it finished!
Has potential as long as you have the money.
Love the back seat ash tray. Classic.
Shoùld have saved that chinese checker board, abd rhe snoopy lol. You are amazing crazy amount of work and your attention to detail is to be praised
The fact other detailers turn down really bad filthy cars/vehicles. You just know Mitch is committed to make the vehicles looking unreal! So proud of you. Keep it up ❤
To answer your question about the cactus, there are several "jumping cactus" and "walking cactus". One of them, if you even brush it gently, you will knock off a piece of it. It's how it reproduces, by getting stuck to something and traveling. If you try and pull it out with your hands, you'll get even more needles in you. Wind, animals, tumbleweeds, could have all gotten the cactus in there.
Some answers about the cacti: certain cacti species can actually reproduce asexually, meaning they don't need a flower or pollinator to reproduce. As for the lack of soil, that's not a problem either! Cacti can grow in sand or even gravel, and can't tolerate excessive moisture: making the inside of a car very desirable, combined with the heat and shelter from winter winds. The remnant gravel and sand in the car was obviously more than enough for them.
The interior of BC is very dry, and they have native cactus species, so they might even have come from a cactus chunk that hitched a ride on the previous owner's clothes, or even pets if they were present. All it takes is a few decades of neglect for these little guys to thrive!
I think this is the hardest detailing you've ever done from beginning to end but you did it 🙌
Except he didn't even finish it lol
@@DodgerFloof he did just cuz he didn’t show rest of the video don’t mean he ain’t finished
@@sireastin yes but how would this commenter know the outcome if the vid isn't out yet?
@@DodgerFloof it's two video podcast only touch ups are left
12:35 Have you heard of our lord and saviour WD40?
I’m so excited you will do a fantastic job Mitch as you always do.
You always do a great job.
Something that didn’t make sense to me was cactus growing in the car and you pulling out a scuba diving fin. 😂
It’s crazy this is I love the color and the way it’s painted all beat up. I would just do the interior in the engine, new wheels, and the beast on the outside be the beast.
Mitch can you include a link of the exact damage free Tuck Tape?? I could use that to clean my vintage car before it’s restored so it doesn’t leak near the windshield like it has been. Thanks! None of the searches I have been doing turn up the same you seem to use. Thanks!
Not sure if I’ve actually commented on a video of yours yet. It’s only been around 3 years of watching. Just wanted to say you do a superb job not only detailing but video delivery. Wish you all the best for the coming years. 🖤🇬🇧
I don't understand why somebody would pay you to do this but not tell you to get rid of the old carpet and the mats. They obviously have to be replaced. They don't have any purpose by leaving them in there and it's more work for you
Im feeling Ghostbusters vibes, and the cacti are giving me the hebe jeebies! If only this car could talk, I bet it would have some great stories.
lol ...I had a friend who had a Jeep Wagoneer like this. He called it a Shagoneer. lol .... use your imagination! ;-)
Saterdaymorning routine; sit back and relax. I will. Thanks Mitch, I appreciate your video's.
It would be great if the owners make a TH-cam serie about the whole restauration.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
A breaker bar would’ve helped with the seat bolts. Also chrome sockets shouldn’t be used with impact guns.
The whole time he was in the back I was thinking “pull at the metal handle on the door! Just climb in the back!”😅
Guess the previous owner was a mason judging by all the lids ha ha, I'll go home now. Gord from Ontario .
18 hour labor of love.
I love it! Would 100% tackle this and try to bring this back to life.
I admire your dedication and determination however in this case, I don’t see the point. I think it should just go, as is, straight to the scrap yard.
4:45 speaking of car restorations, have you seen "My Mechanics" car restoration? Dude always restores things to perfection and his car is really coming along nicely!
Dang. That Swiss guy is on an entirely different level of detail-oriented. Sterling work always...
This is beyond a total junkyard for its ‘65 Jeep Wagoneer Classic family-wagon. But hopefully when this is done, it will be a huge newer classic by the time it is detailed and beauty back to life for sure:).💯🙌🏻
Why the heck there is a frickin wasp nest in a abandoned jeep and a cacti it is really peice of crap interiors Mitch
MITCH: Yes, to longer videos. Thank you.
Hi mitch! This is the first premier i see from you! I cant wait to get on youtube tomorrow to watch this :D
Seeing vintage seats all worn and torn always breaks my heart cause I'm sure the original quality was beautiful
You may want to invest in puncture-proof gloves for future details.
Probably a dumb question but, do you try WD40 on the bolts for the seats?
I was game until wasps. That would have noped me right out.
@3:14 looks like a pressing engagement...
Почему Вы никогда не показываете мойку потолка? Или Вы не моете потолок?
Cactus is from Sky goin to the desert to meet Heisenberg from Breaking Bad!😂😂
I am very glad, I didn't have to clean or detail. You have good patience. Awesome job.
I wonder if the green carpet is a type of carpet underlay…??
Every case is "the worst I've ever done." 😂
No hables solo limpia y no platiques con tu esposo o novio
Can’t wait to see part 2 of this detailing video! You should be awarded a prize for accepting and doing it to the end, with your usual excellence quality level!
what an incredible way to start the day
We haven’t seen Mike in a long time. 🤔🤣
Maybe you should have called Mike Rowe, so he could do the really dirty parts. LOL
I see those pine needle things in my garden a lot but I have no idea what they are
“who has time for a 50 min video” when i was active duty i would watch your videos 3+ hours at a time. field day was for “re-runs” 😅.
Save the snoopie & clean him
You should've kept Snoopy and wash him 😢
😄
26:20 It looks like grass seeds.
Nice work 😊
Hi. For the most part I really love your channel. But sometimes your commentary makes me think 'Don't be a dick'
One sad looking Grand Wagoner.
@5:00 I was thinking of the Gulf Racing Colors..... But that does not make this car look fast.
Mitch, did you try to use some WD-40 on those bolts under the seats?
I believe this one might be going down to be one of the worst and most challenging details you've ever faced, I never wanted to clean a vehicle like this in my life, but overall you always did an amazing job, I would like to stick with drawing some pictures, I'm great at art, it helps to make my life easier than dealing all of those.
Yippee!!! Cool teaser for tomorrow's blockbuster detail. Can't wait to hear more backstory and see how well this went. I am guessing at least 12 hours of work went into this! . ❤
Do you think you can ask your customer for a follow up for that wagoneer? It would be nice to see it once fully restored.
I'm just like you being a sucker for a good challenge, this definitely seems like a "why bother with it since so much needs replacing" situation though...still, I would like to see some kind of follow-up on this car though to see what they end up doing with it
Also hah, Mystery Machine SuperVinlin
I like that color combo. It suits the Jeep well. That paint job on a new Jeep Wagoneer would look goofy though
You’d definitely be surprised who would want to watch 50-60+min videos 😂 especially when these videos are so satisfying for sure haha but great work! Love to see it
Edit: also if only cars could talk … the stories they could tell oh would be so interesting
Why did you give up on taking the seats out? If I gave when my impact wrench didn't get my lugs to loosen up I would never get my tires to come off my car. It's noting a socket set and a pipe couldn't take care of. It's all about leverage.
This was probably a 20 hour detail
DO NOT QUOTE Mike Rowe. He has integrity and cares about his viewers.
You just make it look worse than it is for clicks. Have some respect. I thought Canadians were better than that?
This must be one of the last "living?" Jeep Wagoneer's.
I can't remember the last time I saw one here in Australia. And they were popular in country towns with farmers.
Jeep Wagoneer ceased production in Australia in 1991.
It's probably an incredibly difficult thing to clean such cars. You wouldn't even think how much effort goes into it.
The cactus was brought in by rodents, the same ones who left all those droppings, it's part of their defenses. We have that problem out here in far west Texas, if a vehicle is left long enough, it will be filled with cholla cactus.
I miss bench seats
DG been there done that myself made a good living doing it also years ago and yes I even ask myself WHY I did it but I enjoyed I guess when my buddy's would laugh and say WHY do you enjoy polishing TURDS I loved car flipping and let tell you I learned soap water made them cars people would buy GREAT VIDEO DG
Sure you didnt throw away parts of the car? Some of the plaatic looks like might be
That “carpet” almost looks like pool table felt.
