ABANDONED JDM Rescue

What's going on everybody and welcome back to MAD Detailing. Today's video is on a 1997 Toyota Mark 2. This is actually Cole's vehicle and if you guys don't know who Cole is he's actually a team member here at MAD. He previously owned a JZX90 but he wanted a cleaner OEM car to start with because the JZX90, I'm not gonna say it was clapped but it was in pretty rough shape, so he wanted a mint condition OEM car to start with to eventually build it. So he ended up selling the JZX90 and picking this vehicle up. This car was imported into the US, well imported in Florida and then was banded at the port for a while and the Cole ended up picking up from some guy. So this is a beautiful example of a Toyota Mark 2. This car is in very good condition for what it is and being a 97. So yeah, I hope you guys enjoy these videos. If you guys are new to this channel make sure you guys like and subscribe. I post brand new videos every Thursday at 12 p.m eastern standard time. With that being said let's go and hop right into this Toyota Mark 2 Detail. So starting off with cleaning the wheels first. I'm using our Xtreme APC on the tires and fender wheels and for the wheels I'm using my MAD Detailing Iron Eraser along with multiple different brushes so I can make sure I get every inch of this wheel and tire 100% clean. So moving on to cleaning the paint, the first thing that we're doing is blasting away all the dirt and grime. Then we'll foam the entire vehicle down with a foam cannon and our MAD Detailing Super Glue Soap before giving the emblems and all the tight areas a good cleaning with a soft detail brush. Then we will spray the paint off, foam it down once again and then give it a nice hand wash with a soft microfiber wash mitt. So after getting the Mark 2 thoroughly washed we can now move on to using an iron remover and what an iron remover does is it loosens up all the deeply embedded contaminants inside your clear coat. Later on the video we also do a clay barring but an iron remover is a good first step to make sure you have all contaminants outside your paint before you can do any type of polishing waxing or sealing. So moving on to cleaning the interior the first thing that Cole is doing is removing all the trash and floor mats and then we can give it carpet a good vacuuming before moving on to cleaning the seats and honestly this car is a big upgrade from some of the nasty vehicles we do in the past and honestly it's super nice to do vehicles like this sometimes for the channel and it gives you guys a different aspect of cleaning because not all vehicles are absolutely disgusting like you see in the channel so this is more of like an average daily driver and you guys get to see how we would clean it. So Cole only wanted to pull out the passenger seat in this vehicle that's totally fine it's his car so what he's using now is our mad detailing leather cleaner I know you're wondering leather cleaner on cloth seats and yeah that's because our leather cleaner is a multi-use cleaner it can be used on a lot of different surfaces is a gentle but yet yet powerful cleaner so if your vehicle is not dirty enough I would not use the Xtreme APC and I would jump for our mad clean or our leather cleaner but yeah the leather cleaner can be worked on all the different surfaces and then he's using a Milwaukee drill with a drawer brush attachment and for the extractor we're using our mighty HP 60 hot water extractor and moving on to cleaning the interior panels we're using our mad detailing leather cleaner in a soft detail brush we're gonna use a microfiber towel to mop it all up and then we're also using compressed air to make sure we blow out all the tight cracks and crevices that way cleaner doesn't run out later on when you walk away and to protect all the interior panels of this car we're using our mad detailing ceramic interior detailer and if you guys have not tried this product I would highly recommend trying it it gives the panels a brand new feeling it can be used on all plastics like your dashboard your door panels and leather seats you can also use it on like plastic uh like weathertech floor mats honestly it is a super amazing product so if you guys would like to try this product or any of our detailing products you guys can head over to www.maddetailingusa.com also Shopify is now integrated with YouTube so if you guys look down below you can also check out directly on YouTube so you don't have to go to the website so yeah I would highly recommend trying this product or any of our mad detailing products today before we can move on to any type of paint correction we need to clay bar the paint so for this we're using our mad detailing clay lube and a synthetic clay bar so this paint is oem which is pretty incredible but it does have a lot of swirls and scratches so our first step is going to be to compound it and for this we're using our rupes 21 polisher some microfiber cutting pads and we're using sonex ultimate cut as a first pass and then to polish it we'll be using the same polisher but a red polishing pad in sonex perfect finish and one thing that I don't show but we're doing after every single pass is we're blowing out our pads with compressed air and then every few panels we're switching out for a brand new pad because if you're not blowing out your pad and changing them regularly first of all your pads going to get super hot and probably delaminate and fly off your buffer and second of all if you were anytime you're buffing your vehicle you are removing some slight clear coat so that is getting dunked up in your pad so the more that you cut with the same pad without blowing it out you're going to get less and less results so anytime you're doing paint correctors make sure you blow out your pad frequently and change it out every few panels and before we can move on to any type of ceramic coating you need to prep the surface so for this i'm using an alcohol-based prep spray and that's remove any type of polishes or waxes or anything that's left behind and that will get the paint 100 clean and ready for a ceramic coating so the ceramic coating that cole is using right now is our brand new very soon but yeah one thing that I will say and it's more whenever he gets to like the door panels and stuff he's working in a really big section doing the panel at once and if you're new to ceramic coatings or you're just not comfortable with doing ceramic coatings I would highly stay away from doing the entire panel I would work in like two by two sections especially if you're working hot climates like we are in Florida because it will flash and then you won't be able to wipe it off and you'll have high spots but yeah cole has done a lot of ceramic coatings I'm not really worried about it and it's his car but yeah if you're new to ceramic coatings I would do smaller sections than he's doing now I mean the hood is probably fine if you're a beginner like that's probably what I would have done but if you're doing it on like uh let's say the fender I probably would have did you know half the fender or top of the fender then did the bottom and then the same thing with the doors
