First Wash in 25 Years ABANDONED Barn Find Corvette Disaster Detail! | Satisfying Restoration
Today, we tackle the interior, exterior & engine bay of an ABANDONED 1984 Chevrolet Corvette C4, that is covered in dirt, debris, and fuzzy little critter goo on the inside. This car hasn't been detailed in years and will require us to pressure wash the entire exterior, followed by a wash, clay bar and then polishing the paint and a full interior detail including mold removal. If you find my videos satisfying or motivating make sure you hit subscribe! #barnfind #detailing #restoration #detailing #satisfying #asmr #carcleaning

Thats what I was hoping, getting tired of it myself! Did you see the most recent video? Changed it up in that one too. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKiOj8RxqbvYdc4.html
Nice Vid. A couple things to correct, 1. the doors are not metal. There are metal "crash bars" inside the door but the door is smc same as the rest, they never rust. There is a steel part under the seats. That is all. 2. The toggle switches you refer to do not post information to the right as you guessed. Rather they post information to the small center portion of the LCD dash. The screen you thought it posted to, is actually your "information center" aka idiot lights. and 3, that is a 1985 corvette not an 84. Cheers! Love the c4 content, they are crazy value cars. nice before and afters!

I was actually about to post the same thing, haha! I see there's another corvette lover here. Just so everyone knows, the 84 had a cross fire injection motor, while the 85 was switched to a tune port injected motor (L98). In 92 they switched the motor to the beefier LT1 motor (not to be confused with the current 1LT motor that is in the current c8s

Great music choices for this one.
I don't really think of myself as a car enthusiast, but I definitely have a soft spot for Corvettes. (I attribute it to having one for my Barbies back when I was a kid - I think the good memories associated with playtime kind of bled into an association with the vehicle itself, lol.) So that makes this before/after particularly enjoyable for me. Even if it's not perfect, it still looks amazing compared to what it was at the beginning of the detail.

Not at all, owner had plans for the paint and said give it a go but don’t go crazy. My content pays the bills so that’s why doing it for free works out
Actually, the four or five selector switches on the center panel change what is displayed on the main instrument cluster just above the speedometer, gauge and gas gauge. Not on the center screen.
Maybe it's the car, maybe it's the music! The '80s era came straight in my head watching your video. For some funny reason my mind went "Bon Jovi" straight away :)
The doors in fact fiberglass. I love c4 vettes

Man I love c4s with big wings. It makes the car (to me) look so much better. I've been debating on putting one on my c5. But nothing I've found looks like it belongs on the car.
There are hundreds and thousands of C4's. That said, it kills me to see any abandoned. I just restored my 87 C4. It is a beauty and priced tens of thousands under the competition. As for the seats, there is a simple wire lever that you push up on an the lower cushion pops out for easy access w/o having to unbolt the frame. C4's Rock!
Such a beautiful car ❤

Just some corrections - the doors are fiberglass skinned & all the display switches in the Centre console activate display options in the driver’s dash not the Centre. The Centre is an information display the car will initiate if there is a problem such as service engine soon light.
Love this video, and the soundtrack! Please share link of the music you used
I appreciate all the hard work but this car needs more than a good washing as it's in really rough shape. I would have taken all the carpeting out and replaced it. The floor mats I would have replaced as well. I would have tossed that dash mat thing too. The drivers side door panel with the screws in the armrest says a lot about the overall condition.
