My brother, regarding the better help ad, just know that you're not alone. Be well. Thanks for the great content.
I'm a high school student I don't want to be a burden to my family I want to make an allowance from KZhead I would be very happy if a few people see this comment, thanks in advance
What would make the videos better Is Having the owner's reaction after getting detailed ..
You're right about detailing videos. They calm me too, I sit down and watch a detailing video and I calm right down. I suffer from anxiety as well.
Anybody can tell how you wer spraying the down the ur a professional this shit is so fake
The wheels originally appeared on the 1987 Trans Am, GTA (you can see the Firebird on the hub cover). They were/are a nice upgrade to any F-Body GM with factory fifteens given their size. I had a set on my 87 Formula in the nineties. Cheers.
agreed, well said.
The first thing I saw were the Trans Am wheels.
I had an 87 GTA, maroon of all colors lol. Also had an 88 formula 350.
@@gregkrueger331 My a 87 was a silver 305TPI with a 5-speed. I got it off my father who bought it new. The day we picked it up in March of 87 there was a GTA being unloaded, which was the first time I saw GM basketweaves (and the then new GTA).
@@thepassionofthegoose5472 i bought my GTA from one of my ex wife’s coworker’s kid. His parents bought it new and at some point he bought a 71 camaro and the firebird sat. They told him to do something with it or they were gonna sell it themselves…….i paid $1500 bucks for it🤣. My formula was my buddy’s project but he needed money so i nabbed it up for $2,500.
I been dealing with mental health issues as well. I’ve had my therapist for over two years. I have depression, anxiety, ptsd. And I am open about my mental health as well. Watching your shows I watch it to see how you guys get these older cards back to their former glory. You guys do amazing. Keep up the great work.
There Fake
No offense, but if you’re seeing a therapist for over two years. I suggest you find another therapist. Therapy should be seasonal, not a life time membership, like the gym.
@@jgyrwa No Offence Taken.
When I am working on my own car (1965 Chevelle SS), i like to listen to music too, BUT, hearing the actual sound of you guys cleaning is a great indicator of how much pressure you are exerting the do your clean-ups. Hence, I am learning too! I love this channel, you have taught me so much, and I am 74 years old and have been working on cars since my early teens. Keep up the great content. Wishing you great success in your business. Keep it up!
An panic attacks are the worst. Can’t breathe. My meds keep me stable now. Good for you for getting help and focusing your energy on this channel, I know detailing cars probably helps you tremendously. Thanks for sharing.
U get panic attacks bro?
@Dr. Pennybags 50 yrs old. Never an issue. YOU make your life what it is. Don’t make issues for yourself. Surround yourself in wealth comfort and safety
@@RubioGamess not since getting on proper meds
you should try to control them without meds by talking to yourself and nasal breathing. might be worth a shot. you actually have to believe within your own mind for it to actually work. i had to do this from alcohol withdrawal.
@@MistaaFrostyf someone along with their doctor has found a medical solution for dealing with their mental issues, please do not suggest that they go off their medication, as it can cause damage to their life/recovery. I doubt you would suggest nasal breathing as a treatment for severe allergies or cancer ❤
I love the sounds of the cleaning process! Background music can be optional 😊
Thank you. I like cars, but I’m mostly here for the satisfying contrast of dirty to clean. Interesting what things can sooth and calm the mind. Keep it up.
I’m in the same boat
New subscriber here! I use to detail at a car wash 12-13 years ago. I am surprised that you don't use a industrial grade steam cleaner for the seats and carpet. It offered better results than anything else I had ever tried. Keep up the good work and keep em shiny!
Im surprised he did not agitate the carpet underneath the gas pedal more, hmm.
love the content,,being a detailer myself in Australia and New Zealand over 25 years i find this content to be therapeutic,one thing i do here is use a carpet dye after drying brings the interior up a lot better..cheers
Wow, you did an incredible job detailing that classic car! The attention to detail really shines through and it looks better than ever.! You guys are magicians. Loved the video.
@@banthamnobilis8147 if that's true, they should have picked a better car. The finished product looks like ish.
Great job as usual. Watching from the UK. One question I have, is why do you not start the jet washing process from the top down. I would think that the water running on the lower parts of the car would help loosen the lower grime.
Absolute therapy watching your videos,brilliant 👌🇿🇦
I am extremely impressed with your attention to detail!!!! I grew up in a car detail shop and still a little detail work on the side. I am curious what car cleaners you use? I use Car Brite products. They're amazing. I did a Pontiac Firebird a couple of years ago and it took me several hours to get it detailed. I actually do the same thing you do as far as removing the seats. I also removed all the carpet because it was heavily soiled. I scrubbed it twice and used a steam cleaner on it. The upholstery and the interior looked brand new when I got it back together. Keep up the awesome work and you have a new subscriber.
Hi,Guys I suffer from panic attacks too and your videos help relax me thank you.Keep up the Great Work
Thank you so much for sharing Ronnie. I’m so happy they help.
You actually did talk about your anxieties before - and me personally, I thinks it's great you are so open about it. Some people might take it as "fishing for compliments", but don't mind them talking trash 😉. Beautiful transformation btw 👍! Edit: I don't always like music in these kind of videos, but your choice is always excellent, so keep the music rolling 😊.
I have some of the same mental issues and have a long time. I taken medication 3 times per day for anxiety. I've several horrible panic attacks though it's been quite a while since I've had one. But the possibility still exists that I could have one when something goes horribly wrong and exceeds my stress level. I also have other mental issues as well. This is not uncommon and a person must accept this as a legitimate illness and live with these issues as part of their lives for as long as they live. After all a person who has these issues did cause them, did no ask for them and should not be embarrassed or ashamed. Seeking treatment is only way to keep mental issues under control. I commend you for getting counseling. There are times when I would like counseling for comfort and reassurance
I just want to say Bless your Heart for helping knock down the walls of ignorance about our mental health! I'm so glad you are in a different head space than you were. And Yes they do have a calming effect for me also! So Thank you!! I enjoy watching the process from start to finish!
Wow…to see you find comfort in good ol’ fashion elbow grease is amazing and good therapy. I, too, suffer from depression and anxiety but find tremendous pleasure in taking things from the “before” to the end product when it comes to deep-car detailing.Keep up the great work on the detailing and yourself…finding balance is the key!
The wheels look like BBS rims.
The wheels are actually Pontiac Firebird. They're nicknamed "Honeycombs" and were designed to replace the "Snowflake" wheels used in the previous generation Firebirds.
@@bellwethertrucking3650 Oh cool. Good to know thanks.
These wheels are a 1987-1992 Trans Am wheels. The reason why they fit is since both the Camaro and Firebird share the same chassis and drivetrain components. Wheel lug spacing is 4.75 inches.
those are the GTA wheels
Shout out BBS🫡
Liked the ASMR sounds during the interior cleaning with the music elsewhere in the video. Thanks for the open talk on mental health. Having struggled myself I know how important it is to be up front about it. That is the way forward. Enjoy your channel - very soothing.
Amazing job guys you gave this car brand new life and it looks awesome
Wheels are from a Firebird GTA. My first car was an 83 Camaro so, this video hits close to home. I miss that car something fierce
Great job guys. Paint looked incredible at the end!
Nice dust sprayed. Looks really natural.
Right anything for views looks like shop vac no filter in blow mode with dust and ash in closed garage.
Got most of it on the car and not the garage floor - good job.
I we need a video to show how he creates the dusty car look!
@@williamscore5322 when done shop vac it up everything is for you tube clicks
They even opened the hood and sprayed it nicely in the engine bay. Considering the hood was closed and that was the first time in years it had been opened there sure was a lot under there.
I found this channel by accident trying to find a video about the history of the Camero, and I'm so glad I did! I really like the ASMR bit as well as how you explain what you're doing! :)
Camaro
Firebird GTA rims...camaro and firebird parts were often interchangeable
¡Un trabajo fantástico! ¡Este Camaro Z28 de 1983, uno de mis favoritos, volvió a su antigua gloria! ¡Saludos y bendiciones, desde Ecuador!
The wheels are off the same year firebird, the correct wheels for a camaro would be a 5 spoke. Question, how long do the clay mit's last?
@@bellwethertrucking3650 Thank you
Love the cleaning sounds❣️
It was awesome seeing you guys yesterday!
Great job as usual guys ! That body style was one of the best looking ever mafe.
I-ROC is my favorie camaro design.
Like the video guys. Keep up the good work and Brent what you are doing regarding mental health is fantastic. I also suffer from the similar things as yourself. That’s why I watch your videos. So yes, you have helped me a lot and I thank you!
I’m so glad that our videos can help you, Mike. Thank you for sharing. It means a lot
The powerwash was so satisfying to watch!! Like it was changing colours.
We’re glad you liked it!
Really glad to see this wasn't just some abandoned rusty heap you were trying to resurrect, it actually ran and was in good overall condition but just needed a REALLY good clean.
It was such a nice example of a Z28!
Rims are off a GTA.. not sure why someone put them on a Camaro. The dust on that car didn't make sense.. that garage wasn't dirty. Looks like it was in a place where a remodel was done fairly recently, looks like saw and drywall dust. Still an awesome car and video.
Those are Pontiac trans am gta wheels. Probably put on the z28 because those were very desirable in the 80s. I believe they were produced for Pontiac by bbs wheels.
Sir you are correct. Very 80's look. Still very cool.
Só fato ter tirado este Camaro supostamente abandonado e ótimo....é resultado do trabalho de vcs e maravilhoso As vezes me pergunto acabam deixando um veículo a Deus dará ....pois a Palavra Camarões é sinônimo de veiculo forte....jamais eu deixaria isto acontecer.....tenho na minha garagem um Astra 2003... 20 anos de uso...em ótimas condicoes....Parabéns pelo capricho de vcs
As another has noted, the FI Tech on the motor is clean and recent; that much dust could not have settled since its install. No doubt the car was disgusting inside from neglect and time, but the external stuff is doubtful. Of course, Trans Am wheels. Enjoy your videos.
Yeah staged video
There's alot of things that don't add up here. Especially with some of the "detail" work.
Take off the foil helmets
Given how easy it is to roll back odometers from vehicles of this era, I do not believe for a second it has only 20K + miles on that car. The dust is fake, it blown on to get on youtube, how can I tell? the top of the wheels (under the wheel well) has the same level of dust as the roof of the car.
It’s a second generation small block Chevy. Made from 87-92. You can tell from the center bolt valve covers. They were an improvement over the 1st generation that were around the valve covers that made them leak.
That was one of my favorite cars of the 80s. Man I sure would love to own this car. Beautiful.
You definitely must be female. Or gay.
I used to go to that Summit in Tallmadge, OH all the time. They have EVERYTHING.
Those wheels are definitely from a Pontiac trans am GTA from the 80's
New summit 355 and clean FiTech EFI (which weren’t available until 2016). Yeah, that dust is a little too perfect to be authentic. Your first thought was correct, it was staged.
We showed up and this is how it looked!
No doubt. You did a great job, regardless of how it got that way. Do you ever take off the wheels and do the inside of the barrels, and brake caliper area?
Had a Iroc Z28 85 (last year they made them) mellow yellow. I still miss this car and it is one of my favorite cars of all time. Sister got it tboned and i have wanted to get another ever since.
Wheels are from and 80’s Pontiac Firebird, center caps have the Firebird emblem. I had a ‘89 GTA Trans AM with same style wheels only mine were gold not black.
I personally like the ASMR sounds mixed with music. Adds to the aesthetic. Helps the videos feel more energetic and positive!
You have to like all the dust thrown around it and the dirt splash by the tires it was driving not long ago and it starts total bs just clean it with out the drama
Wow en verdad son unos verdaderos expertos en limpieza los felicito ojalá pronto pudiera tener un auto a si para recorrer mi pais' sería Genial los felicito amigos'
Love your videos. I think they are firebird rims. I’m impressed on how u got the rubber glue from the trim off the doors, nice job!!
You're right. They are 1987-1992 Trans Am wheels. They had them in black, aluminum polish, and gold.
I cannot wait to wash mine. She hasn't seen the road in 10yrs and is currently getting rebuilt
Question, virtually every car detailing video I’ve watched you never see the wheels being removed and you only ever see them cleaned from the outside. Surely the only proper way to clean them is with them off the car .
Check out AMMO NYC, Ive seen him take the wheels off on a regular basis.
Those T/A wheels are perfect. Very popular, period correct rim. I am not sure who made those for Pontiac but I wouldn't be surprised if they were made by BBS. They were THE rims to have back in the day.
As much as I love the background music I enjoy AMSR, thank you for the channel and the therapy advertising ima check it out
Another unbelievable transformation 😁 Keep going guys 💪
Thanks Ryder!
She said it was a 355 sbc w/fi.
only about 2hrs north of where i live!! this is pretty cool. Crazy they had all these cars yet left one in a different garage to collect dust.
That car was rode hard for sure, with the mileage being so low (supposedly) there sure is lots of wear and tear, I'd like to see the floor pans because it appears that the T tops leaked causing the seat bases to rust... nonetheless you did an amazing job cleaning it up
Looks like fake dust
This is Fake just look at the Tires, still holding Air that's why I know that it's Fake.
It's not fake you can see they just put up sheetrock in their garage so it's probabaly just sheetrock dust.
Why don't you subscribe and share a like instead of being so negative.
You have your Opinion and I have mine, You don't like it that's your Personal Problem
The rims probably came off the firebird they have in their shop. Since it was a modified race car, they took those wheels off and probably put skinnies on the front and wider rims on the back (as you can see the stance in the video). Camaro / Firebird virtually the same car anyway. Plus, the honeycomb wheels from the firebird were a nice upgrade to any GM 5-bolt at that time. Lot of us would change the hubcover with the bird on it to something plane.
I remember those Z28 days I miss them .
Totally fake. A car would not look like that left uncovered in a garage. You can see the drip marks on the fenders. Also, that stuff accumulated under seat has clearly been put there. It looks like lint from a clothes dryer or the material you’d find inside a blanket that movers use to cover your furniture. Inside a vehicle doesn’t appear out of nowhere, it is a result of use and not proper cleaning.
Every time Brent does these in video commercials I am so distracted by his snow white smile. Dude is seriously blessed!
Hahaha thank you!
Great results...it looks showroom new! Have you ever found a 1984-88 Monte Carlo SS in a barn, or stashed away in a garage??? Or...maybe a Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe?
Absolutely staged. Modern fi tech and braided FI lines. That whole fuel system is new. BS video
Scam, would not shine like that with a wash after all those years.😡😡
I believe those wheels were an option when you ordered the car from the dealership. They were popular on firebirds in the 1980s
I’m a new subscriber here, but I definitely prefer the detailing without the hokey music behind it. 10/10 would watch that part again.
the wheels were 16x8 staggered (frt/rear) offered by Pontiac for the trans am or formula as an option , they came out in late 86 , the gta came standard with them in 87 but were all gold instead of black. i had them on my 86. i loved them .
a Firebird GTA mid 80's wheels I had a new 88 Firebird On a Camaro Z28 ? they like the honeycomb wheels I guess.
❤
The rims are from a Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am. GM made the wheels and other parts compatible with camaro's and firebirds/Trans Am's
Glad its not just me that uses iron fallout remover as a clay mitt lube. I find it makes it so easy. Especially if going to be machine polishing anyway
I bet it wasn't a rod knock and just a lifter stuck on the original motor
You guys did a great job on the detail. The car looks to be a much higher mileage vehicle than the owner stated. Value lost when they replaced the engine instead of rebuilding the original.
Agreed that it lost value but with it being an original Cross-Fire car they did it a favor
I’m not sure where this was found, but when the owner said she went to summit racing in Tallmadge, that is in Ohio and my father was the Chevrolet dealer there. I had a 1983 Z28 as a demo. This brought back so many memories. If it was in fact from Ohio, there is a very good chance it was bought from us. I hope the new owner has as many great memories with it as I had in mine.
These videos do relax you...calming. Great Work
You guys are amazing at what you do and the power washing is so satisfying.
The owner has that NE Ohio/Cleveland accent. Sounds like a bit of home. And she mentioned my MIL's hometown, Talmadge. Pretty cool.
The wheels just look great on the car, probably just wanted something different from the common 5 star wheels. Thanks for sharing, your videos are very relaxing.
Beautiful car, rocking the GTAs! I would get some Irocs on it or some factory ones... That GT500 Must be an 07 or 08! Beaaautiful🤌🏾 Really nice detail! Thanks!
That rim style was very popular back then. BBS style rims. I had them on my Grand National.
Very cool I love that they got rid of the crossfire that was the only year they made in 1983 and those louvers in the hood go up when you would floor the car all the way. That was so that arrow when they put GTA wheels on the Camaro I love it I did the same thing lol
Nice work ! It looks better than new !
I had a 83 trans am T Tops. Powder blue. Loved that car.
Yikes! Once you have the seats out it takes very little to pull the carpet out and clean it on a sunny asphalt driveway without running the risk of wetting the Jute beneath. Then you can even use a hot water pressure washer on the carpet for a good clean. Additionally, the jute should be lifted in the foot wells to check metal for rust / treatment. I would have highly recommended this inspection for the owner at least. Beautiful car.
That was satisfying to watch., Great car when it was built and this one looks amazing! Prefer the music to the ASMR
Where do you get your supplies to makes a car look that nice again? There are millions of choices out there! I would like to know what your go to chemicals are. Also my classic is in hot rod black its more of a sealer, what could i use to shine her up again? Thanks and you guys did an amazing job!❤
Cleaning sounds are definitely awesome
Those originally had a very popular 5 spoke design rim, however those Firebird rims look really good on it. My father bought a new Camaro at the time as well, probably a mid - life crisis thing. Your clients Camaro cleaned up really nice, and has good upgrades on it.
I like the sounds of the cleaning instead of the music
The actual sound of the cleaning is much better than the elevator music.
Sir. You are doing an amazing job. Greetz from The Netherlands.
looks like the tires came off the built firebird in the back. this is a slick way to get ppl to comment on the page. well done!
Love the ASMR, Love the car!! Definitely have to find a gorgeous 5 speed Camaro for myself!!
Wheels are from a GTA Trans Am. They were popular back in the day and someone just swapped them ( same lug pattern). They look good on the Z but definitely need the correct center cap
When are you going to work on that old Rambler in the back. I have seen it in the background on several occasions and am looking forward to seeing it cleaned up.
wow great job restoring this beautiful car !
Classic💯! Great job....as usual👍🏽
That’s a beautiful 83 Camaro Z 28. Very nice 👍🏻 The wheels belong to the 1987 Trans Am GTA
87-88 GTA Trans am wheels and that car was dusty but mint.
Great job on the cleanup of the old Z28! I have a Mustang that is pretty much a garage find! I keep it in a heated garage that is clean. I wash it once a year & keep it on a battery maintainer & do regular oil changes with Ford Racing full synthetic oil! I also am aggressive in keeping four footed rodents out of the garage. It now has 12K miles and runs like the day I first brought it home. Sadly I only drive it 50 or so miles a year. Most of those miles are going to a local coffee shop for morning coffee....LOL! Anyhow I wonder why some of these folks don't take a more active roll in keeping their cars up?
The magic eraser ! Glad to see you use it. The best
