In today's car cleaning business video I will show exactly how much money I make in a day using just my car as a mobile detailing unit using just the bare essentials. The idea behind this video is to see if you can run a car cleaning business without the water tank, Without all the equipment and make a decent income from a hard day's work.

Who here uses a car for a detailing/valeting business?

@claydoncarcare6087 3 года назад

I use a car for detailing, I have a vw touran. And have had no issues with using water and power from customers. So much better than a van better on fuel etc and save tons of money doing so! It’s more cost affective for me! I think having a van is good but I’m not a guy that’s out here going look at meee! I let my work do the taking to be honest

@jonlinder189 3 года назад

Yep, good old Mk1 Skoda Octavia vrs Estate... Enough space without dropping seats, and quick enough to nip between jobs. No issues with water or electricity as all new clients are informed prior to booking. Got a coat for the rain and layers for the cold, and a flask of coffee and snacks... I am considering changing my Karcher K4 for one of the Direct Hoses Black/Grey washers as the units are very compact (33x25cm!) and the detailing kits come with everything you need and a choice of hose lengths.

@ItsMeKriz 3 года назад

I detail/Valet out the back of my B8 A4 Avant and while yeah i hope to have a van eventually, im not in panic stations because i my kit bag(auto finesse big bag) pressure washer, 20L titan and bissell spot clean fit in with room to spare 👍

This was great!! I love the fact that you brought us along for the day. Excellent point on the kid seats, we have it written in our acknowledgement for that the customer reads and signs, that when we remove the seats we only place them back in their spots and they are responsible for reconnecting them. That way we have absolutely no liability at all!

@abuhamza1970 3 года назад

Excellent job mate! 👍 Nice to see your flexibility on the job. I’ve always been of the opinion that if u can avoid using a van then do. Vans are great especially the Ford transit custom, but they’re a magnet for thieves, require more expensive insurance, and are in no way nearly as comfortable as a car. If u can get a high sided car/mpv/suv, then you’re better off imho. Just a word of caution, if you’re getting continuous headaches, that’s not good man. Try and isolate different things to understand the cause(s). Try different products/ positions/environments and see if there’s any difference. Oh and btw without wishing to sound like a c**k it’s pronounced “vallay” not “valette” Another great vid and can’t wait for the next one. Keep em coming pls Stay safe

@epicautomotivedetailing 3 года назад

Thank you mate. Appreciate the kind words. I would love a focus rs van lol

@ruttl1 Год назад

Dave this is a great video and a lot of detailers across the pond stress that you must have a van or you are not a legitimate detailer. I have a small SUV a Dodge Nitro and I don't want a van and I am a professional and able to complete every job. It was great to see a detailer mention the children's car seats and being legally responsible if they are not installed correctly. Would you also mention cleaning the brake and gas pedals and NOT applying anything that would make them slick or slippery like an oil based restorer. That is another slippery slope applying anything to the brake and gas pedals that could cause the drivers feet to slip and have an accident. I communicate with the clients so I know what equipment I need and what I will need to complete the job. Your videos rock and I am wondering how Mark and Stephens tea tasted it looked like rubbish. Have a great day. How do we contact you to ask you a question or two?

@tonyhill1916 3 года назад

Very valid points you made there Dave. Always wise to clarify with the client/customer exactly what needs doing and carry only what you need to get the job done.

It's only when the customer asks for something extra or they were economical with the truth would you need extra items. Keep up the good work.

I love your channel and videos. I'm currently an engineer age 38 looking to do this instead part time and then grow my business to small customisations on top. I have engineering to fall back on fortunately.. Ie in winter. I want to go all the Way with this to make it a full time business. I'd love to here from you. I know the vids you make take a lot of time and effort so the last thing you want is extra stuff to do but id love to have a conversation with you about how you see this industry going and the best/quickest way I could get to being a confident professional with a good brand eventually. I've 7 years studying and 18 years experience being an engineer but I want my own business. Any help learning the money making techniques would be appreciated so much. Good luck to you! Ps. I also have 4 kids so child seats are child's play to me 😁

@cobbledetailing4438 3 года назад

100% agree man I always try to work my best around them as a lot of customers expect when they have kids they will get crumbs, bits etc all over again most people are quite the same with that sort of thing but definitely leave them in if possible or in the other case be very clear to your customer before removing them if that’s what your process would rather be either way that sort of thing be very clear on what your doing before you get going with a hoover 👍🏼💎

@pandassudsnshine4125 3 года назад

In the shop. We ask customers to remove them. If need help we do. But we don’t put them back in. In the USA you get sue for everything. It’s a liability thing. We don’t want a customer to say their child got hurt or die because we put it back in wrong.

Hi mate! First of all great vid, great charisma and good skills...I used to do this for Secure Valeting working for BCA (British car auctions) but didn't go the extra mile with valeting. Still I enjoyed it and became passionate about it and start thinking more about this lately. I was just curious if you can give me a start up price (no van or car required in the price) for tools, products...roughly. Also is it worth spending 5 6 + hours on a car if you can provide other services more in depth, such as wax, polishing...or would be better to stick to 2 h £50 a car taking your example. Thank you and good luck !

I am struggling. I keep getting calls from customers who expect to pay £10-15. They think it is the same as carwash. They don't understand what Valet is and get shocked with even £30. How do I attract quality customers in the beginning?

@epicautomotivedetailing 2 года назад

Ok so first thing you need to do is look at your branding. Who are you targeting? Is your logo basic, does is it say car wash or bubbles or something gimmicky? To get the big clients your website needs to look class and exclusive to make them want to call

Interesting that you use a ceramic spray. Is there any reason you choose this over an all in 1 wash and wax shampoo or ceramic shampoo? As these would cut down the amount of time spent on the car and could still be used in the rain
