How 6 Years Of Mold In A Car Is Deep Cleaned | Deep Cleaned

Grass and mold started to grow inside this Lexus GS 300 after the owner left it uncovered outdoors for six years. The mold developed after water found its way into the vehicle through a leak in the sunroof. The owner didn't discover the leak until five months before the detailing. WD Detailing’s Brent Dicesare tells us how he and his partner, RJ Wagner, removed the mold from both the interior and exterior of the car.

Thank you guys so much for featuring us on your channel! It was a blast working with you!

How do people allow their cars to get in that kind of state for a point where it develops its own ecosystem?!

[jonathan]

Garage kept, barely used, excellent condition. Asking 10k price firm. 😁

How on earth can car cleaning be so fascinating… it is so satisfying to watch

[chroniclekitty]

This was more of a cosmetic fix, the mold will eventually come back. Especially considering there is probably mold all under the carpets and inside the seats that they can’t get to. Owner is most likely going to sell it to someone and make it their problem.

That car has every disease known to mankind in it.

Unreal how clean they got that car! I would be wary of the mold coming back, but considering the upholstery can’t be removed, these guys did an amazing job and their hard work will definitely slow any reoccurring mold issues. I do hope the owner keeps up with regular cleanings and got that sun window fixed!

As a side note to the well-meaning commenters out there, don’t be too quick to judge the owners of anything that becomes dirty. You never know what they might be struggling with, so this is a gentle reminder to have compassion.

Ahhh.... finally something's i can watch while i eat.

Without removing the carpets, will mould not stay under there? To me it seems like the underside will still be really dirty at this point

[whitehonda]

think about this for a second, the mold in this car has lived through
three presidents.

theres literally a whole ecosytem in there got moss a lake n everything

Honestly when a vehicle is this bad even after it's visually clean, there is always Mold in places you can't get and you'll have health issues if you spent to much time in it, at a minimum all carpet and headliner should be replaced. Just cleaned out my wife's car that had a leak for a month under the driver's matt and I removed the carpet, seats center console remover and trashed all soimd dreading since you would destroy it if you tried to clean it. I cleaned, dried the inside twice and pressure washed the Matt's and carpet and treated with a enzyme cleaner then extracted and fan dried it. Installed new sound deadening and put it back together. I also did the same thing to a friend's car that broke 2 5 gallon jugs of water and it flooded the floor and all the lower vents were submerged so they were removed and cleaned. It's alot of work to do this properly. I charged him 700 to do a full inside and outside detail, and that took a full 2 days.

“If it’s not wet enough it can actually damage the carpet”, take some notes gentleman!🤓😂

[abnc]

At least he’s wearing gloves unlike a lot of the other guys that come on these sorts of videos 😂

[BobbityBob]

Wot? No taking the door panel off and removing any mold in there? More a cosmetic touch up than a deep clean.

[XSpImmaLion]

Amazing work... also incredible that there are people willing to go to such extent and use expertise to get something this dirty, clean like that. Pretty sure that if I showed up with a car looking like that anywhere here where I live, there would not be a single business that would say - sure, we'll take care of it. No matter the price. One look and they'd all say it cannot be cleaned, get rid of it, period.

I had a similar problem with my GS300. When I came back from a 3 week holiday I discovered the drivers side was full of water, the pipe leading from the roof had come apart and it was draining into the footwell. Cleaning the carpet is only part of the cure, underneath is a lot of thick sound deadening that also needs soaks up the water, the carpet needs to be lifted to do a proper job.

[johnbelwell]

Great cleaning service but from technical perspective the insulation of the carpet under it is still a swamp, let alone the roof liner and every single plastic like the door trims and the dashboard needs to be removed and thoroughly cleaned inside out aswell as any passage on the car body that can be reached as the ozone doesn't help with MOLD SPORES, let alone the seats which are useless once they get damp in a moldy environment unless you remove the covers and let the foams sit under hot sunlight for a week after cleaned.
I can understand the owner needed a quick deep wash and those guys are unable to do anything more for the agreed price or intervene with the car anything more, but this car and any that gets water damage are BIOHAZARD.

[Huebz]

You cannot convince me that there is not mold in the foam of the seats.

[stevec]

Grim...once mould gets in, it's virtually impossible to get rid of it completely
