I’m a car detailing expert

A CLEANING pro has revealed how he cleaned a car's filthy interior, making it look good as new using just a single cleansing agent.

The TikTok user's video shows his team of cleaners doing a $700 detailing job on a smoker's dirty car for free with just one product - and it ends with an unbelievable transformation.

The detail shop owner has more than 65,000 followers who enjoy the car-related content shared on the account, which deems his team of cleaners the coolest on the app.

"Day in the life of a detail shop owner giving out a $700 detail for free," the TikToker captioned a video showing his team doing the car-cleaning job for a man who was giving his vehicle to his grandson.

The clip features the shop owner hitting various target areas of a vehicle's interior with a powerful cleansing product specifically made for car detailers.

While using a spray made by detailing products supplier CDN Distributors, the TikTok creator said he's a detail shop owner who likes to do things for free when he can.

He went on to say how good it makes him feel to see people's reactions to his kindness.

The detailing pro explained: "The owner of this car is handing it down to his grandson for his 18th birthday."

He said his shop had been blessed and was making a lot of money around the time the car was brought in and wanted to surprise the family by detailing the whole car for free.

While he shared this information, the video showed someone scrubbing down a gray seat with a huge dark brown stain on it.

The detail shop owner admitted: "The car was in horrible condition."

"But I'm only using one product to clean the entire interior," he added.

The shop owner never mentioned the product by name, but commenters suggested it could be Carpet Bomber, Meguiar's Citrus Power Plus, or Purple Power.

The car cleaning expert confessed that the grandfather who owned the car "loved smoking cigars in the car."

"Everything was stained yellow and brown from the smoke," the guy said.

"Watch all the things I cleaned with this one product."

After bringing the front seats back to their original bright gray color, he said: "The stains on the seats went away and look brand new once we were done working on them."

The thorough seat cleaning process involved a drill brush, steaming and suction sucking all the stains out.

"Then I used it on the mats," the cleaning pro said.

"We made easy work of that."

After cleaning the car mats, he said his team then tackled the dashboard and the cup holders inside the vehicle.

"We were so happy on how cleaned it looked, the headliner sucked up so much of the cigar smoke," the shop owner said.

"It was stained badly - even the panels were brown and gross."

The TikToker stated that his team "sprayed and wiped off years of smoke.

As it started to come together, he said he was overwhelmed with happiness once they moved on to work on the outside of the vehicle.

He said that it had endured a crash that left it with horrible scratches.

For this, the detailing pro shared that he prepares the paint and puts it through a two-step paint correction.

Even after cleaning the paint and getting rid of all its scratches, he and his team take it to another level with a polish that he said leaves the paint looking wet.

"I wish we could've shown you the customer's reaction," he said.

"He jumped into my arms and hugged me so tight - I love doing this."

The video has gone viral on TikTok with over 8million views.

A user commented: "$700 def a fair price for that transformation."

The detail shop owner replied: "We believe so! But we did it for free."

With an emoji of a shocked face, another commenter added: "Looks brand new."

The TikTok creator responded: "It does, doesn’t it!"

A TikToker asked: "How many products did you use again?"

"Just one," The Steam Team account replied with a laughing emoji.
