Alright, I said this in a recent video, but it was a disaster coming up with a thumbnail and title lol. Please comment, like and share for more exposure! All links in the description box :)
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and my love for cars and my major ocd I want to get into detailing. Ima try to start a small business soon. I’m 17 trying to start young.
I have a question about cleaning windows in a hot day. I was detailing a BMW X5 and I always leave the windows for last. However, it was a hot day from the start and the windows were pretty hot. When I went to clean it, instead of coming out nice and crystal clear. The glass because hazy and quirky. What do I do in this situation and what can I use to clean the window? Or should I even clean it if it’s too hot?
Dude you have literally tough me so much with getting my business started. I appreciate all this free info you keep dropping. I’ll keep watching man so keep it coming 🥸
I can appreciate the constant cleanup. Nothing more frustrating than tripping over the cords or machines. Nice work flow to attack this dirty interior.
I watch your vids all the time and find the information in your vids to be entertaining and knowledgable. Ive picked up countless tips form you content. Please clarify the 2.5 hour interior detail. Is it 90 minutes x 2 workers = 2.5 hours, or is it 150 minutes x 2 workers = 5 hours? A similar interior detail for me alone would take about 5 hours.
Love how you showed the steps! But why fabric softer when you were taking the pet hair off the carpet? Does the fabric softer make it easier to get the hair off?
You and ammo nyc are very informative and detail oriented in your approach on detailing a vehicle. Thanks for the quick tips and tricks in opening a detailing business.
Lookin swoll dude!! Keep it up!! I used to be a chiseled 180 lbs coming out of construction now I’m a barely toned at 168 as a detailer!! Gotta get my own weight set. As well as maintenance clients!! What’s your strategy for turning people from 1 timers to maintenance clients?
Wow, interior looks like a new car! For carpet extraction, I see you sprayed shampoo(what brand?), used a brush on a drill(what torque setting?), and did carpet extraction(what machine, did you spray(chemical/what kind?,while doing extraction?). Would love to try that on my car. Thanks.
I love your videos. Thank you for the attention to detail in your work progress and your process, and the amount of detail you offer in your explanations. On this project, what were you using the steam cleaner for?
Love these vids and always will support but I can’t lie I do miss the POV work when cleaning interiors like the good old days but the business tips are great as well as many new comers and future detailers need this type of info and I’m glade they have someone who is humble and doesn’t look down on peoples cars etc or think they are above the dirty work of detailing (I won’t name channels 🤣) to share the info
Hey Oscar, your videos have been very helpful as I am starting out my own business on my own. I have the basic tools (Drill,drill brush attachments, shopvac, steamer, pressure washer, cleaners, detailing brushes) & I watch tons of videos. So my issue is time! It takes me awhile I find and I'm really trying to use my time wisely but a vehicle typically takes me 5 hours.. what am I doing wrong?!? It's very frustrating because I feel like I move fast and don't take much breaks 🤷♀️🤷♀️ Help a girl out ?! Lol 🇨🇦🇨🇦
How did you install your mytee extractor hose onto a reel? The only reel out there that I know if remotely for vacuuming is from CoxReels. There is no quick coupling for the solution hose. Can you explain how you did it?
Honeslty wish I could be like you bro Fr you’re like an idol to me! You have your shit together and know what you’re doing and you workout sheesh real nigga Fr!
gotta question. What do you do if they have child seats installed? Obviously remove them or have the owner remove them but would you reinstall them or have the owner do that?
We have detailed a super hairy jeep Cherokee previously..took a couple of days (we are amateurs still..and our bodys are aging..hubbys fake hip and well i don't move around as fast anymore..lol) it literally looked like the 3 dogs got in the car and dropped every hair on their body while in a wind machine! 1 minpin, a medium length labrador and another medium haired dog. HOW do we speed this up?? It took 2 days to clear the hair out, we have a lilly brush and now 2 different pet hair brushes.. to do the full interior detail fully! Plus we get it again tomorrow, and a new problem has arisen. We burned up 2 ext cords..(we do these details at our home because we don't have the means to be mobile. ) so now a new 12 guage cord and another new cord..we still can't run our 2 vacs on the 12guage..it saftey stops when we do. Very frustrating and seriously slowing us down. We have 2 outlets in the garage. (1970s home)..any advice? Sorry for the long post.
Removing pet hair, especially lots of it, is time consuming for any detailer. Having good tools certainly helps: a Lilly brush is good for surface hair, a Sonax brush does a better job dislodging imbedded hair. The guys are using drill brushes to help dislodge the hair. A rubber-tipped vacuum nozzle like the Buff Brite Fur-eel can help too. Sometimes the best nozzle attachment is your crevice tool. You might find a conventional vacuum with a rotary brush (like most home vacuums) will work in larger areas of the vehicle. You will need a vacuum with strong suction (if using a Rigid, 5hp minimum). Compressed air is also beneficial especially when coupled with a Tornador cleaning tool as seen in the video (the compressor used with a Tornador must supply enough cubic feet per minute (CFM) or it will not work properly). I should point out however, that even with the best tools, it’s still a tedious process and you should charge your customers appropriately. Regarding electrical power in your garage, I suspect both outlets are wired to the same 15-amp circuit breaker, which may or may not be enough for your concurrent electrical needs. You can operate a single vacuum using a 100’ 12-gauge extension cord without problems, but an air compressor might need a 10-gauge extension. You could plug one vacuum into your garage outlets and the other into the extension cord plugged into an outlet in your kitchen or an exterior outlet (these outlets will be on a separate circuit from your garage). If you intend to get more involved in detailing, you will greatly benefit from having your garage rewired by a licensed electrician to meet your electrical needs. All the best to you both!
I've seen an evolution of detailing over the last few years of using steam instead of so many harsh chemicals. My question is have you looked into this as well? I should make this more clear I don't mean a steamer for cleaning carpets but for Plastics and panels.
@@DetailGroove I'll just use this video as an example STEAM CLEANING A DIRTY CAR INTERIOR // Complete Interior Steam Cleaning and Car Detailing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JJeeU623r7E.html McCulloch MC1375 Steam System - amzn.to/2JdeLgK I'm not trying to recommend other detailers I'm just using it as an example.
@@DetailGroove Mobile detailing is more my cup of tea since that's the type of business once had. Though I had also worked at stationery shops for others but when I started my own I made mine mobile. Sometimes it's less expensive to make stuff mobile other times not so much; though the upfront cost isn't the same as profits. I realize I need breakfast before I try to use my brain anymore.
@@DetailGroove okay let me talk to you like your human being, because you're really awesome. Us detailers need to figure out a way, to market our expertise better. If someone was doing a carpet job that required 5 hours of almost nonstop labor, they would certainly get paid more than $300 an hour. And we're doing way more than what a lot of these carpet cleaners are doing. Way more. Even if you had a high power truck mount, it's still crazy to think that we're doing 4ish hours of work for only $60 an hour. Pet hair alone is ridiculous, and you're doing a full extraction and decontamination of the interior. My obvious answer is what you charge a customer is absolutely dependent on liabilities and desires, I just think that we're selling ourselves short relative to other adjacent industries that don't even do as much as we do. Oscar bro you should be getting paid at least a hundred bucks an hour.🙂. But man you deserve it. Seriously though, I don't know man, Does $75 an hour really sound crazy for this job? Man hours is still a very important variable in the equation. I don't know if people understand how hard and time consuming pet hair removal is in a vehicle, and that's not even including the other stuff.
Good points! So how does my CFA down the street make $300K a month if their average ticket price is $23 and they have 10+ employees on the clock, utilities, and the massive rent they pay?
@@kenichishirahama110 not forcing him but if you have been on youtu e long enough you would know videos talking about how much you make do really well. And his channel is partly a business channel
As a dealership detailer I would’ve gotten bitched at if I left a car like that . They would’ve charged the client 175 for a whole detail without even looking at the car first .
Damn bruh 300$ is too low I’m in Cali I just did an exact disaster detail and I charged 500$ .. so you and your worker basically got 120$ each and the rest went to product usage?!🤔🤔more less!
For the business to be profitable they either have to charge way more than that or get 95% results. That amount of hair will be back as soon as a dog gets close go the car.
