Car Detailing A Maggot Infested Honda Odyssey Minivan! Complete Disaster Cleaning Transformation

oh my god welcome back to Stauffer garage guys and on today's detail if you haven't noticed already from the intro we have a little special one for you guys today this one is something i didn't expect when i first started this detail i didn't know about this maggot infestation until i got farther along but it's going to be a good one and i promise you guys make sure you stick around to the very end to see the before and after shots because they're worth it with that being said if you're new smash that subscribe button turn on those notifications let's go ahead and get started as detail now first things first always with my details is i get all the big stuff out so all the floor mats anything that the vacuum is going to get clogged by sucking up all of those things out of the way so that way we can get to the meat of the detail figure out how much works ahead of us and then also pulling out the seats whether that's the middle seats in a minivan or the front seats of a car anything get all the seats out of the way as possible so that way you can see the scope of your entire job do one of my favorite things about minivans is is when you do remove all the seats in any of the center pieces it is a really flat completely open interior so for a detailer it's actually a really good situation to be able to get to all the different things actually pretty easily and comfortably as well oh my god this is probably the first car you know roach motel was pretty bad and some other ones are with the ants and stuff but this is the first one where i've actually removed these panels in every single one of these little areas as maggots i've never seen that before so this one is definitely gonna i'm glad i'm taking all of this out to get underneath here because when liquid and food and everything collects in these little pockets in your car i mean this is four simple screws phillips head screws and you can get these out i would recommend if you guys are doing a deep cleaning your car and you're at this level where you're pulling out at least the center seats in your minivan or if they're easy to pull out not even the front seats take off these panels they just clip in and out real easy even the side ones just clip in and out you never know what you're gonna find underneath and this is like this is definitely constitutes pulling out the seats for sure now with all these little plastic pieces removed from this center area and unclipped this is a good opportunity to let those things soak so what i do is i take a bucket with a little bit of simple green fill it up with water and then i drop all of those pieces in there to soak because they're completely solidified with candies with food maggot goo all of that fun stuff in there you need to let that soak that way it's much easier to clean and it's also doesn't make you sick at the same time now that we've got all that juicy stuff out of the way now it is time to get to the vacuuming and get to the meat of the detail so now for all of you that enjoyed the vacuuming stages of my details i filmed the vacuuming up of these little pockets and of the maggots in slow motion for you so i hope you enjoy now an interesting thing happened after i cleaned a portion of the carpet and moved on to a different area i looked back at the previously vacuumed areas and noticed that there was maggots crawling around on the surface which made me do this clip and realized that they were actually crawling out of the fibers themselves so we're gonna find out here in a little bit later what this actually means but get ready for for this one guys this is not good now with all the vacuuming done on the inside of the car i went ahead and started vacuuming the floor mats outside and then using my pet hair brush to get all of the pet hair out of the fibers themselves and the amount of pet hair i pulled out of these was actually quite shocking to me as well i wasn't expecting this much but you guys will see here and very shortly how much dog hair was actually pulled out your mind now you might not realize but minivans actually have the spare tire inside the car in front of the middle seats and this area is actually quite dirty as well so i went ahead and started vacuuming it but then i realized that it appears that an entire soda pop or coke or something spilled inside there and the maggots also found their way into that area as well which you'll see here shortly now in order to clean the spare tire in these bracket areas where these little guys lived i went ahead and used my chemical guys all clean which is at like seven to six to one ratio water to cleaner it did a really good job but it also was a little bit stronger for any of those little maggots that were hanging around but it definitely worked with using my detailing brush to get those areas cleaned and following up with my microfiber towel to wipe them off now while i was cleaning these brackets i noticed that the carpet is actually held by velcro in the center area and when i pulled it up this is what i found i expected some maggots in the carpet but i did not realize that all of the carpet looked like this where you see a bunch of those maggots crawling in and out of the fibers so it means that the entire backing was like a nest or just completely infested so because of that there's only one thing to do which is to completely remove this center section of carpet which to be honest i like that honda had this in three separate sections so it made it quite easy so i'm not an exterminator but this uh all-purpose cleaner seemed to do a really good job of getting rid of them so i completely soaked the backing of this and let the bottom pad sit out in the sun for about an hour or two while i worked on some other portions of the vehicle for the floor mats i used my carpet cleaner my drill brush to agitate the carpet to get that dirt lifted up and then i use my extractor with just plain old hot water to remove all that dirt now that third row floor mat was definitely the cleanest of all the bunch but when i got to the middle and the front one the amount of dirt in the actual carpet itself was a lot more than i realized so i used my extractor when i first started out but by the time i got through the first or second pass i realized that just busting out the pressure washer was going to be much more efficient but also it was going to do a better job at cleaning than the extractor would yeah this is pretty much like just straight up black coffee coming out of this thing it's crazy so definitely switching the pressure washer at this point to get these carpets cleaned so oh oh do now because of how bad the center section was from one stains but also two with our little critters living inside of it it got an extra dose of all-purpose cleaner and shampoo on it before agitating it and then using the pressure washer to get all of that soap dirt and maggots out of it completely now before i put the carpets back into the car while they're drying i wanted to vacuum up the belly pan of the car also now it is time to clean the rest of the interior before we put all that fresh clean carpet back into the vehicle so for that i'm using my all-purpose cleaner once again on the door panels with my bristle brush and microfiber towels to get all those areas cleaned before topping them with chemical guys silk shine which is a kind of a great plastic coating that's not greasy or anything like that but also makes that plastic shine and protect it from uv rays now for the center console once i get all of this crap off the top of it the amount of crayons that kind of melted on it and some of the candy and things like that that solidified in the cup holders one of the best tools that you can use for this sort of thing is a steam cleaner if you've never used one before they're not too expensive they're like 100 120 bucks on amazon but they do a really good job of melting all that different stuff so you can wipe it clean with your microfiber towel and then if you have gum or any slime or anything solidified in your carpets they work really well for that as well do now for the leather seats i'm just using lexal cleaner with my drill brush to get majority of the seats clean which worked really well for the top and some of the backing but because the backs were super dirty i had a switch to my all-purpose cleaner to get majority of that dirt out and then i used my chemical guys conditioner to top coat it so one benefit to removing all of these side panels and any of these different plastic pieces from inside the car it makes it a lot easier to work on so you can get a little bit more aggressive if they're extremely dirty by using your drill brush and making sure you get all of the area of it instead of missing some of the corners or edges because they're tucked underneath another panel so pulling them out makes it a lot easier to clean them and i also went ahead and took all of the bolts at the very beginning of the detail and put them in a cup of cleaner as well so that way all the screws that had gum or goo or anything inside the head themselves or on them i was able to get those so to be honest this sped up clip of the interior kind of being rebuilt and put that back together was probably my favorite clip of the whole detail just it's kind of cool seeing the whole car being built it almost reminds me like a factory assembly line where you're seeing everything kind of get put together but this is by far my favorite also these before and after shots were also my favorite too because this is what the interior carpet looked without the seats before but then also seeing it without the seats after is a huge difference in transformation so i hope you guys enjoy these as well foreign one thing i want to ask you guys to do for this detail is please share this video with a friend share it with somebody even though they might get a little bit sick to their stomach might puke up their dinner at least send it to someone so that way they can get a little bit of motivation too because i feel like right now with everything happening in the world we all need a little bit of motivation and just kind of give people hope because things are a little crazy right now for everyone because when i watch other detailers videos and see these sort of things it helps motivate me so if that's how you guys feel and that helps you share this with a friend give them some motivation and thank you guys for being part of the staff for garage crew i
