Hey brother. Awesome work you do. Do you disconnect the battery when removing the seats? How long does it usually take for the carpets to dry?

@@abrahamcantu6147 i have a 2007 ford escape and yes you do because Ford put in a Parts Watch antitheft thing in and if you disconnect anything with the battery connected then the antitheft system will loc you out and you will have to spend big $$$ at a ford dealer to get it fixed.

I was a detailer at a Ford dealership doing reconditioning of used cars that got traded in, and every single escape they got traded looked that way. They were always the worst

The problem with seats, as you well know, is that "wet" stains like these go down into the foam under the seat surface. So you get the top clean and that nasty creeps back up to the top. It's a never ending story. Thanks for the always entertaining details!

Anytime I see you do a family vehicle I always wonder what the ceiling on the inside of the car looks like and how you go about cleaning it. Seems like a difficult angle to work at especially if you’re doing it after the seats have been removed. Anyway, that was a fantastic transformation! Truly a master of your craft.

As someone who detailed for 12 years I can't tell you how many people would come to our shop and have this exact horror story, or worse. Some even had gone to Car Toys which offers a "Premium full detail" that costs, no joke, $999.99... and one guy brought us his brand new Camaro, like less than 3 months since he bought it, and they had basically just washed the outside which looked fine, but on the inside instead of cleaning the panels they had just sprayed every black panel with some kind of extremely oily sticky paint/concealant or something, even my boss who has owned the detail shop for over 35 years had never seen anything like it and none of us knew WTF it was, but which must have looked fine when they first sprayed it and returned it to him but once it dried, it left these obvious wavy patterns of where they had sprayed it. It was insane. I had the fun of very carefully removing all of this oily crap carefully with a steamer and tons of cloths to not let it drip or splatter anywhere else in the car, and returning it to looking brand new; it took me over four straight hours of just working on the dash, center console and doors. Ridiculous

i detail cars for a rental agency and you really inspire me. although i cant take all the time to truly detail as well as you do, due to time constraints, its really cool to be the one cleaning out the cars. its rewarding work and makes me admire what you do even more!

Amazing work! Used to have a 2008 Ford Escape. It was such a pain to clean. I don’t know what materials Ford used but even a water spill would stain the seats.

😮 I believe that this Ford escape detail ranks among the very best of your transformations. The before, and after pictures are incredible! Very satisfying to watch. Thank you for your great videos.👏

That was a lot of fun to watch. Great job Mitch. I loved seeing the 10cent loony bill on the floor of the car. Also extra comedy points for using the word smegma in a totally non R rated context. It was a definite win to see the interior go from gross stains to clean grey interior. The extractor pour into the bucket was one of the darkest colors I have seen water become. WOW. When you swapped out the drill brush for the Milwaukee brand I laughed. Their corporate office is about 2 miles down the road from me. The Escape is now drivable without all the bacteria and filth. Excellent job! Have a great weekend Mitch and the DG army! 💜

In Australia we would call that a ford Territory. They came out with our 4.0 litre barra engine. Also came out with a turbo barra on some models.

The main issue is the seat fabric quality. I have a similar Ford Escape and the cloth seats stain SUPER easily even with water spills. The brown stains are definitely nasty spills but the grey stains are what is caused by water.

Shoot you got this Mitch. As a fellow detailer I've done things that no one else wanted to even touch. So I know that you can make this thing look totally awesome brother.

Holy cow, the difference! The reflection off the hood was priceless. I bet it smells 100% better too. The color change from light brown to bright khaki was the best. Another nice job. 👍🏼👍🏼

The Ford looks so much better! Mitch, you did a fantastic job! BTW, have you ever cleaned a travel trailer?

Crazy how that car turned out to be 1000% better after the transformation. That sure was satisfying seeing all those stains removed well done Mitch

Finally a customer brought you a car with the body not completely beat to death… so much more satisfying to see the finished result look so good after you spend so much work on the interior making it look like new. Great job.

This reminds me of the Red Toyota Corolla you did about a year or so ago. Absolutely disgusting seats! Great job as always Mitch.

I used your methods on my 2015 Chevy Silverado pickup that had been owned by a logger and I have to say even without the super great equipment you have and just with my Shop-Vac and drill brush and I have a Bissell carpet cleaner I made those seats look brand new!! They were black cloth seats and I actually thought they were gray because of the amount of dust and dirt embedded in the fiber

not the schmegma 💀

thank u for uploading these car detailing vids watching them really helps my anxiety and relaxes me!

You are SO BRAVE! I noticed you wore a respirator. I'd say that was a SMART MOVE! You do such a great job! 👍

Quick suggestion, I see when you do seat cushions or floor mats you’re doing them on the ground bending over quite a bit. Would it be easier to do them up on a table or saw horses to save your back a bit when you spin brush and extract them?

Reminds me of the seats in my 2016 Corolla. The fabric is terrible quality. Mine are kept clean, but when there's a spill, it takes forever to clean up. Even with my Bissel Spot Pro.

Yet again! Amazing! I wish my car detail place was as thorough as you. I think it's just a bit far for me to bring my car to you. Liverpool England to Canada 😅😅😅 Great job again 😊😊😊😊

You sir are an artist in the auto detailing world. Great job Mitch.

Soak the seats in 4:1 APC, drill brush, extract then soak again in APC and leave so that any stains coming from the seat's interior will be neutralized by the APC. Extract again after 2hrs or so

With the seats, I have the same fabric but in a darker gray, and mine literally show water stains! I feel like it’s just the fabric maybe? And the dog/kiddo’s theory is my thought haha😂 great work, this one deserved a good deep clean ❤

Awesome job on that interior Mitch. Look forward to your next video.

I adore my 2008 Ford Escape. It is still going strong with just under 100,000 miles on it. Watching carefully since it really needs a major detailing done.

I love your videos mitch, i’m only 15 and I have my own detailing business in my driveway, my dad helps me from time to time and whenever I come across something that needs to be cleaned in a customers car and I don’t know how to do it, I always come to your videos to see how you would do it. Thanks a lot, and keep up the good work!

Hello Mitch, have you ever thought about getting the slurry water tested in order to find out what comprised the stains? or is that too scary an idea to know. Another amazing transformation - you have really streamlined your processes as the times have reduced significantly from 16-18 hours down to ~ 11 hours

Whatever you do, don't shine a blacklight in there 😅

Nice job, Mitch 👍 I agree that the interior is 100 times better than before. I'm sure the owner was surprised at how nice it looks after you worked your magic. Happy Easter, my friend!

My late mother use to say as long as there is soap and water there is no excuse for dirt.

Very beautifully done. Always do amazing work!

Have you ever thought of using a rinse wash for your steamer ? I add an ounce to a gallon of distilled water and use that water to fill my steamer. It adds a one to punch to your cleaning effort. I also got my steamer on your personal recommendation for watching all your videos I highly recommend using the rinse wash because it really does help clean along with your APC, love your videos

Greetings from France. Not that this has anything to do with cars but, I have to deep clean and detail holiday homes after Americans have been staying and the state of the houses after they have left beggars belief. It is especially difficult if it is a same day changeover. How they manage to turn a house into a midden in a week defies description. I won't go into detail about the state of the bathrooms! The cleanest guests are in order: Germans, Dutch, French, the dirtiest are Russians, Eastern Europeans, Americans and finally the British. Having watched your videos over time it has helped no end in the way I tackle the clean. I have picked up no end of very useful tips from you. Thank you Mitch.

Mitch, I want to THANK ❤ YOU for creating such consistent, high quality videos. This episode is as delightful to me as the first one of your shows I ever watched. CONSISTENTLY smart and perfectly crafted content. It does my brain some kind of good, every time I watch your car detailing sessions. 😊 🎉

Like the content, still as satisfying as ever @TheDetailGeek can you please make a basic recommendation video on products for a weekly/monthly routine car care example: where I live pressure washers are expensive so what garden hose and attachments can you recommend and also what chemicals can I buy/use to get roughly the same paint correction results as your details and also optional/bonus products that we can get to achieve the same results as your details. Would like to hear what you think, keep on with the great content👍
