Wd detailing, we found an abandoned barn find  Volkswagen Rabbit that’s been sitting since the   year we were born in 1995 untouched but here’s  the catch we not only had to buy one of them to   get one we had to buy all five that were being  sold but they’re in very rough shape something  

Created its home out of one of them and another  has an entire Forest growing out of the carpet so   we may be a little in over our heads but even more  exciting this is the video where our new product  

Is finally out so keep watching to see what it  is and where to get it before it’s sold out I   don’t know if you guys realized the things that we  go through to make content for YouTube Instagram  

And social media as a whole but we decided to come  out 2 hours away and buy this Volkswagen Golf and   then we decided to buy this Volkswagen Golf and  we were only told we could buy these two if we  

Also took those so we now own five non-running  Volkswagen rabbits so Mike’s going to get one   Brent’s going to get one you get a rabbit you  get a rabbit you get a rabbit I don’t know what  

We’re going to do with these but they definitely  deserve to be saved so we have to drag all these   back to Cleveland we’re going to clean them all  up and spread the parts and and wealth of many  

Many Volkswagen Rabbit fans yeah we can’t let him  go to waste I guess the story behind all these   Volkswagen rabbits is that a very nice elderly  woman’s husband was a big rabbit fan and he had  

Eight of them at one point and then he uh got rid  of three and then he had the hopes and dreams of   getting you know some of these running and driving  unfortunately uh he did pass away so he didn’t get  

To live out that dream and they were left in this  Barn for a very very long time but there’s subtle   differences between these cars a lot would notice  the round headlights versus the square headlights   which means that this is definitely a US made in  Pennsylvania car and this one’s made in Germany  

Back in the day PA had a very big Factory that  was in Pennsylvania I think it only was open   for 15 years or so I can’t really know but that’s  the easy indicator to tell the difference between  

These cars and some of these are Diesel and some  of them are gas so these are you know a bunch of   different oddballs all together hanging out so  this model specifically is a rabbit uh diesel G  

It’s manual it’s a four-door it’s got a sweet roof  rack on it and I’m not sure what the G stands for   I know they have L designation and then uh I think  there’s other designations for these as well but  

I’m just not that well versed in Mark 1 I have  a mark 2 so if you guys know I’m not too sure   what they mean if you could put in the comments  below that’d be great I’d love to know this one  

Actually looks like pretty good shape that’s what  I thought when I first walked up to it they showed   us one thing that was very interesting and the  interior we got a little Golf Course growing in  

Here also I didn’t even notice this car is in the  ground basically uh yeah it’s a it’s been a lawn   ornament for quite some time here dude when  you lower these cars they sit nice uh oh hey  

Buddy this’s our new best friend you want to be a  part of the yeah he loves his pets oh I’m sorry I   should have stopped Mike I do have to ask are you  a fan of the four-door or the twodo so typically  

I like four-door cars but they’re a little bit  bigger but these are so tiny that like I think   this one look the best I like this little little  CP action I like it too I was making a play on  

Mike’s name his last name’s Tor yeah my address  is this and my social security numberers that   this one’s a real disaster on the inside and  uh in the engine bay we’re going to show you  

Both so someone uhoh lived here BR come over here  real quick when I open the door I need you to see   what I just did so I went ahead and opened the  door and uh apparently the trim piece was in the  

Wrong spot see no no something was in here chewed  up the entire all the bolsters of all these seats   and made himself a little house but check out the  engine bit cuz I found his little house while you  

Guys were moving the trailer I I was lurking over  here finding stuff check this out nice oh wow mhm   oi bro this is like this is thick you need gloves  you I got jumped yeah all right let’s see if we  

Can uh get some air in these tires and load it  up into the trailer now we needed a little bit   of help because the rabbit wasn’t on flat ground  so we had to pull it up a hill to be able to get  

It into our trailer really quickly if you’re  not subscribed to the Channel please take a   second and subscribe because next week we have  an insane video coming your way I’ll show you   a picture right now we found an abandoned markv  Supra we’ve never done one on this channel before  

We’ve waited a long time to be able to so that’s  what you’re going to be getting subscribe right   now because you don’t want to miss that and as  we were pulling it up into the trailer it looks  

Like we had a little bit of help from the dog  that was at the place he was so friendly to us   kept coming up to us for pets the whole time and  made the whole experience so much more enjoyable  

Especially because I’m someone who suffers from  pretty bad anxiety I’ve talked about it before so   something like this dog makes the day a lot easier  but then when we got the rabbit back to the shop  

We were able to look inside of it a little bit  more so after many trips to Michigan and much   deliberation we decided that this was going to  be the rabbit that we filmed for YouTube because  

It is the 1979 version that has the cooler in my  opinion the cooler Circle headlights in the front   and this one also has the most poop on a car  I’ve ever seen I don’t know what kind of poop  

This is it it’s definitely bird and maybe some  chicken this was in a barn and they had a lot of   chickens the woman mentioned to me I’m personally  very partial to these cars I drive a Volkswagen  

Golf which is obviously the new version of the  rabbits I love that car I put a ton of mileage on   that car and I have nicer cars and I still jump  into the golf and I love the way that it drives  

So it’s cool to to have this in the shop and four  others outside that I don’t know what we’re going   to do with I think this one is actually going  to clean up pretty nicely it’s one of the most  

Complete cars it has the engine the transmission  some of the other ones don’t talking about the   engine let’s open the hood and check it out we  usually don’t open the engine first but we can  

See over here already that there’s a ton of poop  in here so we want to get this all vacuumed up   everywhere before you get any water in here it  smells bad enough already when it’s wet it’s  

Even worse it’s disgusting this car is a Diesel  Rabbit and it was built in 79 and this monstrous   1.5 L 50 horsepower diesel motor motor it’s one  of the ugliest Motors I’ve ever seen but it works   and they’re simple they’re simple Motors uh and  I like simple one of the coolest features about  

This cars being diesel is this was super reliable  one and two it was great on fuel mileage it got   like 50 m per gallon and these cars were super  cheap and it was like the every person’s car all  

Right so first things first we need to vacuum  all of this off the car before we even start   remotely cleaning anything else cuz there’s way  too much so step one we’re going to move this   remove this uh engine installation as Mike would  say it’s seen But days so uh no point in trying  

To rectify whatever is left so we’re going to  go ahead and throw a mask on before I get the plague easy enough all right now time  to vacuum all this poop so we’re going   to start vacuuming everything out and  once we’re done with that and start  

Pressure washing the car off we’re going  to reveal to you guys what our new product is we also decided to take off the roof rack  and then those roof trim pieces or whatever   you want to call those afterwards  and I was able to hand polish all  

Of those pieces a little bit later in the  video and you’ll see how good they came out all right so here’s the official announcement  we started Puro Car Care and this is something   we’ve been working on for over a year we use  it in almost every single video and to add to  

The announcement you guys have probably been  wondering where Foster from Mad detailing is   well he took time away from YouTube to help us  create this pero made by detailers which is us   we use this stuff every day not just on video  Cars we use it on customer cars there’s no big  

Company behind this working with us it’s just  our small business just our small team that’s   it if you enjoy our videos and you want to get the  same results that you’re seeing then give it a try  

You don’t just use it on the exterior of the car  you can use it on the tires you can use it on the   interior pieces on the carpet there’s so many use  cases which we’ll show you on this rabbit and the  

Best part is you guys get to have a say too so if  you leave in the comments what kind of products   you want us to put out in the near future we’re  going to be taking all of your suggestions and  

Implementing them into the best products that we  could put out to you if you want to get our first   product the Degreaser go to Puro carc care.com or  hit the link in the description and you can order  

It right now but I would hurry before it all  sells out we only have a limited Supply right now also if you were curious why  the Hood’s still look dirty after   washing it that’s because that’s all Iron  embedded into the paint which we’re going  

To take care of with an iron remover  unfortunately it’s not something that   a Degreaser can remove but clay mitts and iron  removers can a little bit later into the wash a pressure washing a car makes me pretty hungry and  thankfully today’s video sponsor is hellofresh and

Now in case any of you are new to the  channel and you’re curious why we’re   doing this disgusting roof last and we didn’t  do it first the simple answer is because it’s   social media and we wanted to get the best shots  for the video for you in real life we would have  

Started on the roof and worked our way down  but because we wanted to get good satisfying   shots for this video we wanted to do it all the  way around and then the roof last it is a little  

Bit extra work for us afterwards we spray the  whole car down again with the pressure washer   but an extra 15 minutes is not a big deal  to us as long as you guys get satisfying content now we did notice what was left on the  roof was not iron but it was just dirt  

So we reapplied the Greaser and we  pulled out some microfiber mitts and   with a little bit of scrubbing we were  able to get this roof looking perfect now we’re going to move on to the wheels  we’re going to use the Greaser to clean  

The tires and then an iron remover and  wheel cleaner to clean the rims and once   the hub caps go back on these wheels look  really pretty especially with the White   Walls not being completely white they’re  almost the same color as the paint on the car

Wow pretty clean there oh no wa  a little Nest somebody Wasing in   here wait a second oh here dump it out  in the garbage let see find anything not too bad that was just extra filter I  hate when there’s no toy in my Happy Meal  

So now we’re going to give the engine a good  cleaning but I want to ask you guys a question   we ended up finding out that this engine is  no good anymore so what would you do would  

You replace it with the same engine that comes  with these cars stock or would you put something   else in it and if you would put something  else in it what would it be leave a comment below n

Now we’re going to put our Focus back back  on of the hood as we spray iron remover on   it and as you see it turned purple that’s how we  know we were right it was iron and not dirt but  

We’ll use the iron remover as a lubricant for  the clay mitts and get that right out of the paint all right moving on to the interior of the  rabbit I got to get these seats out of here but  

Before I even take these out I need to acknowledge  this terrible that’s in here there’s definitely   a nest that was probably like in there it all  fell out and this car is in pretty rough shape  

It stinks really bad so I need to get this thing  on and get to work dude this is so much lighter   than the than the Lincoln could not do this with  the Lincoln seats just way liner all right now  

I want to check out what’s in the glove box uh  hopefully not another Nest but we’ll see maybe   something cool maybe nothing ew a little bit of  something a lot of poop well got to clean that out now that we’re starting to vacuum  how many of you are getting ready for  

Your spring cleaning of your cars that  time’s coming around and it’s time to   start cleaning them out I know my car  is gross from the winter up here in   Ohio so I bet some of you are dreading  or even excited to clean out your cars

Now after vacuuming the floors we’re  going to extract them as well that way   they have time to dry before we put  everything back together later and   we’re using extractor soap along with  our drill brush and only hot water in  

The extractor and then using Puro for  the rubber pieces in the floor and the petals a oh n and for the rest of the Interior we’re  going to use our Puro with an assortment   of soft bristle brushes magic erasers and  microfiber towels and it came out really nice oh

So for the roof trim pieces I wanted to  show you guys exactly how good Puro is   and I cleaned them without using any water  so I sprayed the APC on I let it sit for  

A second and then I took a microfiber towel  and I was able to wipe away 28 years of dirt   and poop and all that Grime away without  any water with ease I sprayed it off after   that just to get any remnants off and off  the back and then I took some metal polish  

And steel wool which the metal polish is  something that we’re working on for the   future for you guys and I shined them up and  these things came out looking almost brand new and again here’s me messing around with our  new metal polish formula a little bit more and  

Whenever you guys see me spraying something onto  ajust polish surface that’s IPA which is isopropyl   alcohol and that’s getting any residue of the  polish off the metal to make it shine and really clean so in the life of this car there’s a good  chance the paint’s never been corrected  

You can just tell by looking at it it’s in  a pretty bad state so we’re going to do a   two-step here starting with a microfiber pad and  then move into a foam pad for the finishing step  

And once I show the 50/50 you can see all  the swirls all the water spots taken right out now to finish up the detail we’re going to screw  everything back onto the roof to make it all look  

Complete I did polish the roof rack off camera it  was just hard to show it but then we dressed the   tires and sealed the car with the spray ceramic  sealant and it was all finished if you guys  

Enjoyed the video make sure you give it a like and  remember we have a markv supera that was abandoned   for 20 years coming next week so make sure you’re  subscribed and with that we’ll see you in the next one
