I just hope the new owner really does appreciate what you did to his vehicle. The amount of hard work it took to clean it up is nothing short of incredible. You took a nasty, filthy vehicle and transformed it into something anyone would like to drive. Once again you proved why you're the best detail guy there is!

I think it's cool that the new owner will have this video as proof to the next owner (should they sell) how well it was looked after.

As former detailer myself, I always tell people how it's actually a very physically demanding job and can be fairly grueling. especially for a vehicle like this. I can't imagine having to film it too etc. Respect to you because you're putting in the work 100%

The fact that the seats weren't torn or cracked despite being in the elements for a long time shows how amazing the quality is

The transformation of the carpet alone was amazing! I could have sworn that it had been sun-bleached! Excellent work. 😊

I have not noticed you cleaning the air tubes and air filters of every car?

Mitch, have you ever thought about (I'm sure you have) finding a way to mount floor mats on the wall to spray them down vs doing it on the flat floor? I feel it would be better on your back while drill brushing. Having gravity on your side while spraying the mats down doesnt seem like a bad idea also 🙂

How can something so abused look so good? Mitch's talent and material quality must be the reasons

I can understand not being all in on the concept of a half-truck-half-SUV. I wasn't either but at the time, I was needing a truck to pull my trailer and all full size pickups at the time (during COVID) were super expensive. My 05 Avalanche was nearly half the price of an equivalent Silverado and it had the benefits of having a pickup so I went ahead and got it. So far, I have loved it.

OMG, Mitch!! What a stunning transformation. The degree of filth in the interior was horrific but not as bad as I was expecting. I thought for sure the seats would be all torn and damaged with mold and rot. I thought the carpet was going to be so rotted that it would be sucked up when you vacuumed. You are a true cleaning magician. I have an Avalanche and absolutely love it. ❤️

Never be concerned about your videos, Mitch. They truly are amazing and interesting!

Watching this while I wash dishes. My mess is no where near the mess of truck. I’m so amazed at how much work and detail you put into cleaning and restoring this truck. 🙌🙌🙌

Flood is way worse because the silt gets everywhere, and all the computers are f***

I think it would be easy to stay motivated - you get to instantly see results every second. Spraying off the debris, dirt, grime, vacuuming up trash, scrubbing the tires, applying wax, etc - the results are happening in real-time. It's so cool! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

Can't believe someone leave the windows down and the sunroof open. An invitation for mice and squirrels to chew the wiring. Rain and snow too. Only thing I would do differently would have been was take the carpet out, just to make sure there was nothing under the carpet. Mitch, hope you charged him for your hours of work. Great job !!

You are amazing! That transformation is miraculous. Great job.

Geez Mitch that is a lot of dirt/mud for you to clean up after, you never mention that part of the job, which you obviously do after each detail. you are such a hard worker, despite all your sprays and clays and cloths you still have to use your body to make things happen, even those people who own these vehicles and are happy with your work don't show their gratitude enough, I don't know what I expect them to do but I think I would squeal with joy and hug you so tight you wouldn't be able to breathe, now I've written it ,your right in thinking that I'm a bit crazy and definitely totally extreme, but you are amazing, I wish I could get your cleaning products, cheers to you!!!🥵💕👌👍👍💪💪

Mitch, have you ever considered getting an optima industrial steamer instead of just the multi purpose one? It might save you a ton of time and also get even better results, not that your results now aren’t amazing. Your a fantastic detailer. I love watching your videos and steam car wash videos.

Your new name…Magic Mitch! What you did to that truck was incredible! I feel like a slacker!!! Will be missing you for a bit as am having open heart surgery in the next several weeks but hopefully I can bounce back with more energy so I can attempt to mirror your work on my own cars. You’re a true inspiration!!! Be well and Happy Thanksgiving!!

I love that you talked about motivation. I only ever detail my own or my family's cars, so I have a vested interest in putting in the work - and it is a lot of work. Gives me a great appreciation for how much effort it takes to get out of a mess and gives me incentive to not be lazy about dealing with things as they come up instead of letting them pile up.

Mitch I gotta say that was a horrendous disaster of a truck but man the work you put into it plus the customer reaction one of the best by far made this transformation worth it keep up all the hard work your doing

That vehicle was crazy! Glad you take on these challenges Mitch..makes a good video

In the '70s and '80s I was detailing. I had no drill brushes no extractors, no steamers no pressure washer no fancy chemicals. The seats and carpets would come out, I draped the carpets across anything I had, and used TIDE, a scrub brush and garden hose, and let things dry in the sun for a few days. Threadbare carpets received a misting of lacquer based touch up paint, then a brushing to cut the stiffness. Holes in the carpet under the accelerator pedals were patched using cut-up floor mats secured with construction adhesive. I had a technique of recoloring vinyl with spray on touch up paint that looked really good, and NEVER peeled. Rust freckled chrome received a wipe with hydrofluoric acid based rust remover that was marketed for the removal of rust stains on clothing. My cars, just like your cars, came out looking damned good.

Aces again Mitch....Mr consistent.

That was an absolute filthy BEAST to work on! It was so so dirty. This is definitely the worst ive ever seen. I panicked at the sheer work that would be needed when i saw it, so good on you for keeping calm and working your method of steps as you always do. Mitch you are terrific! I really admire your work ethic.🎉

wow i wasn't ready for that result, way better than i think anyone thought it would look! really great job as always!

The engineers at Chevy had the outdoorsman in mind when they designed this truck. The rear window comes out and is stored on the midgate. The rear seats and midgate fold down to accommodate kyaks, fishing gear or four wheelers. When not out playing in the dirt and mud you can haul your family around 😂

One thing is for sure…the man is good at what he does.

You are a saint!! This is unbelievable!!! The old owner went to a party and forgot where left his truck!!! You need to hire Mike for full time....never mind😊

The plant on the dash was sage. It's a sacred medicine, I keep some as well. Love the video!

Mitch: you certainly did an amazing job on this abandoned Chevrolet truck. I think this was a "Lazarus"- type resurrection, for sure! Have a great weekend.

Mitch, I’ve watched a lot of detailing videos on KZread. I have about six detailers I watch primarily, and I have to say I have never seen anybody take a vehicle that is such a disaster and completely redeem it the way you do. Your work is awesome to say the least. Love your videos.

Thanks for the tip on how you stay motivated. Love watching. It’s therapeutic to me.

I have the same truck, so I recognize every nook and cranny here. Actually, what's impressive is the condition the paint is still in. It still has a gloss on it, a good buffing will really make it pop. Maybe the dirt helped preserve it? Also... the leather on the seats looks great. No cracks. The overall condition. while dirty to begin with, this truck has weathered pretty well.

Hi as always great job keep up the great work

Mahn you're a magician! 🎉 Good work as always 👏🏾

I have no clue what you would charge for a project of this magnitude, but whatever you made, you earned every dime!!!!! That was amazing!

This has got to be one of the best transformations you've done. Excellent work... love it! ❤

Im ersten Moment dachte ich, das wäre ein Fahrzeug ohne Besitzer. Die Leute an Deinem Ort können froh sein, dass es Dein Geschäft gibt und Du so gut und sorgfältig putzt. Sowas gibt es auch für große Fahrzeuge. Da habe ich auch einen Kanal gefunden.

I will say that was amazing. I do have a question, though, when left to the elements, aren't you worried about mold and such? Wouldn't it be necessary to remove the carpet to clean the pad and things under it? Or am I just over thinking?

Three days?! I thought it might take two, but wow. Your dedication to quality is unmatched.

I just realized I clean our house the way you detail. Everything is done in steps and I give myself time goals too or else I’m overwhelmed 😅

WOW! I really think that was your best work yet! Like others have said, I really hope the new owner appreciates your work and keeps it up.

The Subaru was great but I think this is your best EVER! I think I speak for most if not all of your subscribers and viewers when I say we appreciate and rhoroughly enjoy all the time and effort you put in to produce highly professional and entertaining videos every week. Makes Fridays worth waiting for! Question: I don’t know if you’ve mentioned it but how is cleaning your Studio floor? It looks great when you’re doing your details. Just wondering how it works for you with clean ups. Thanks.

as mitch once said, "80% may take 20% of effort, the last remaining 20% of the mess will take 80% of effort." but in this case, the 80% will take 80% of effort, and the last 20% will still take 80% of effort.

I new suggestion for your videos could be along with the year and model of the vehicle, the paint color name would also be really neat to know. Such as pearl mist or midnight black.

I think I loved this one more than what I should. You always cease to amaze me Mitch ! Well done and good job 👍🏽

When I get into my vehicle after watching one of your videos I’m reminded at how easy it is to take care of it by taking out the garbage going over it with a duster vacuum and an occasional wash

Being a owner of an Avalanche, this was sad seeing it how it was but glad that it is going to a good home

so much hard work. Glad you have developed a system for staying engaged. Because I think it goes without saying - we love your videos.

I owned an Avalanche 07 and a Escalade 11 and now I own an 2013 Escalade love these trucks. The transformation was amazing, nice job.

He doesnt /usually/ "polish and wax" the vehicles he details from what I've seen, in a traditional sense. A lot of times I've seen, he does indeed polish the vehicle with a sort of "paint protector/sealant" that makes the car shine, and keeps the paint healthier underneath. So, not unlike actual wax, I'd imagine. And he may very well polish and wax other cars. I haven't seen *all* of his videos, of course. Other factors: it may not have been asked for, it may not be what was best for the car, or he may have done it off screen this time and simply not had the time or energy to show it on camera. (This was a VERY long clean) Or, maybe he just simply didnt have the time/or within the customer's budget! We simply do not know, in this last case. :) I hope this helps! 😄

I'm currently in the UK and wanted to get in on your Black Friday sale for some Christmas presents for my Dad, but was super bummed you're not shipping here. Keep up the great work though my man!

I'm amazed about 2 things. How can some people be so filthy and neglectful, who own/owned some of the many vehicles you've detailed, look into a mirror at themselves? And, your energy and diligence are remarkable. Only a perfectionist like yourself can understand why you are a solo detailer. Keep surprising us with your enjoyable videos. They're the first thing I watch on Friday's.
