Transform Any Car FAST For $100!!

welcome back to simple bills we have a very exciting video throwing it back a little bit to one of our older videos a super cheap budget transformation on my friends eighth Grand Honda Civic [Music] [Music] my goal is to fix this car up for him and hopefully stay around $100 that is our budget for today's video cuz a lot of you guys can find 100 bucks to do a little cheap budget transformation on your own vehicle and it might be in pretty rough shape like this one like I said it does have around 300,000 Mi it's a daily SL commuter car but it doesn't have to be dirty and ugly so we're going to be fixing it up let's jump on to the first thing that we're going to address before we do any kind of modification the number one and best thing to do on a budget to transform your car is to just clean it just wash it clean the exterior clean the interior that is the very first step we're going to take on this Honda Civic so let's pull it outside and start cleaning this thing up [Music] [Music] last step of the car wash is always using a microfiber drying towel this one is on our site right now for sale and it gets you entered into our latest giveaway which is our Mark 6 Volkswagen

and hopefully get back into the uh transforming subscribers Cars series so that's all going to help uh support the channel so let's drive this car off and then we'll jump On To The Next Step so the outside is all cleaned up pretty much as best as we can get it so let's jump on to the inside I'll show you guys a couple very cheap fast easy and effective tips to clean your interior so let me jump in here you saw a little bit on the intro about how dirty this car is on the inside uh but as you can tell it definitely has seen better days but let's go ahead and get all the crap out first and then we'll get started and I'll show you guys how this interior transforms [Music] okay [Music] let's go ahead and grab the vacuum we're going to keep cleaning this stuff out and guys just remember that everything that I use here I do this very frequently obviously for the channel so the power washer helps things to go faster the bigger vacuum helps things to go faster the air compressor helps things to go faster these are not Necessities but I'm showing you tips and tricks that you can use but again this stuff can all be done on a super tight budget smaller vacuum just a regular hose that you have at your house so keep that stuff in mind when you get some tips and tricks from me [Music] finish up the couple things on the interior and then the car will be fully cleaned and we'll move on to the next step one tip that I like to use for the interior is pretty much just a liquid whatever soap you want to use and a microfiber let me show you what I'm talking about I just ran out of my uh allpurpose spray because I use it all the time but we do have these on the site still for sale if you guys don't know we have a small little uh detail line that we're trying out there's only about 50 bottles left of each so make sure to jump on the site and grab yours but we're going to be using some Maguire's interior detailer but of course guys if you want to help support the channel and get entered into the current giveaway go jump on the site and grab any of the detail products [Music] all right door jams are all cleaned up interior is cleaned up vacuumed out and sprayed down so let's clean the windows really quick as you can see these are really stre up and nasty you can see this window is really nice and dirty take a microfiber using this worth uh glass cleaner take your wet side clean your window and then flip to a dry side and that's how you're going to get a streak free clean on your windows every time so up next we're going to get the car up in the air again you don't need a lift but I'm going to use my lift because I spent a lot of money on it and we're going to use it and it's going to make my job easier but you guys don't need it let's get up in the air and address some things on the front end you guys see me say it a lot and it is a very cheap and effective way to completely transform the front end of your car remove the front plate [Music] all right that is off and looks way better especially on this car um on a budget but up next we're going to address these headlights real quick I'm going to show you the quickest and easiest way to temporarily clean up your headlights so like I said you can sand them down and go through the whole process or you can tape off and do a quick little fix and get yourself some clear coat we're using diamond high finish you can get the stuff uh you know at some different stores so any clear coat will really do but you want to use a good clear coat let's go ahead and put a fat coat on here and I'll show you guys how these look after we're [Music] done and there we go as you guys can see very quick and easy and effective way to bring some new life back into your headlights how long it'll last I don't exactly know [Music] that is a wrap on the front headlights I hope you guys can take some tips and tricks from this and apply it to yourself and again take everything I say with a grain of salt and do whatever you want to do on your own cars but these are just some ideas that I'm spitting out there for you guys so now that the headlights are cleaned up we have Maguire's ultimate black plastic restorer we're going to be using this with a little applicator so let's go ahead and apply apply this and show you guys the before and [Music] after up next we're going to remove these old stickers that you know are kind of just nasty [Music] crusty there is cleaner ways to do that but for now we're just going to scratch that off cuz this is a very old sticker just falling apart once that's sits for a second just wipe it and see how much you can get off right we created a little bit more of a mess than I anticipated but it still comes right off with this stuff then you want to take a little rubbing compound well that is a little embarrassing but we ended up burning through the paint a little bit that's why you test this stuff out on 300,000 Mii Honda Civics that are getting sold or uh getting used and abused for a daily commuter but uh I tried to wet sand and buff some of the rest of the residue that was there and it didn't go go according to plan because this sticker was super uh caked on there and unfortunately sometimes there's just nothing you can do uh to save it at least from my knowledge I know like I said I don't don't know everything so when something like this happens um you take your favorite sticker or magnet and um you just call it a day and move on and last but not least let's address the wheel situation the cheapest and easiest way I think to fix up some hub caps like this it's not really worth it to take them all off sand them down respray them the time and effort that you go through for that I mean you can do that it would be cheaper but the time and effort and energy I just don't think is worth it we just went and picked up a brand new set of hub caps for this car and these were only about $50 so very budget cheap affordable option I know a lot of you guys kind of hate hubcaps but on cars like these daily drivers commuters that you want to make look a little better and you don't have a ton of time to spend on stuff like this you just grab a new set of Hubcaps from any auto part store and uh crack these old ones off throw the new ones right on and call it a day so I'm going to show you guys how crappy and old and beat up these old ones are and then we're going to rip them on off throw the new ones on and I'll show you guys how that turns [Music] [Music] out a lot of you guys commented in the past about how ugly the Steely looks behind the hubcap so we're going to clean that up a little bit you just got to sand it down prep it and then put a couple bags behind the open spots to uh cover over the brakes or Rags back there and then just do a quick little spray we're just going to cover some of the wheel we not going to go crazy these are just steelies just to make it look a little bit better just give it a quick coat one or two [Music] it levels itself out looks really [Music] good well that is a wrap on the1 100ish do transformation on this Honda Civic I really think it made a pretty drastic difference even though a lot of it was cleaning you can see that that goes a long way in the budget so I hope you guys enjoyed today's video drop a like leave a comment let me know what you thought in the comments and make sure to
