Speaking facts bro! Not everyone thinks about it or tells it how it is online. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Accounting for travel time time on job site if a mistake happens etc, that all comes out of our profit
I now only detail car interiors with my mobile business. No more badly kiddied vans or nasty work trucks or SUVs. Percentage wise there are more cars on the road than the other vehicles I mentioned. I spend less time in the sun. Minis are $49, $59 or $69 Canadian depending on the condition of the interior. Full details with steam cleaning of carpets and seats $99, $129, or $159. I proudly state that I am the Dollar Store of Detailing. lol...other local detailers hate me for it. One of my marketing strategies is leaving 10 business cards on driver side doors in large parking lots when I go shopping for groceries or go to Walmart. Not too many so as to make it obvious. This is sniper advertising as I choose which cars I want. It is like planting seed. People are more inclined to save a business card than a flyer. They will put it in the glove box, console storage or in their visor for future reference. Oh yeah, I can also see the the condition of car interiors. I have a customer base of about 2,000 people from when I was detailing full time and a lot of loyal, long time customers who keep me busy but not too busy.
I love your approach and myself a new detailer (weekend warrior) and am thinking of what I want to do in way of service as well as how much to charge. The Dollar Store of detailing is something I’ve considered on the lines of low dollar higher volume approach. I have a couple of customers already that have expressed they don’t mind going to an auto wash for exteriors but just want their interiors taken care of. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the support! The strongest yet safest tar remover you can use would be Koch chemie Eulex, I rarely have to use it cuz it’s super strong, I normally just use Koch chemie MultiStarN which is basically an APC/pre treatment for paint, it’s good for fresh tar
Great video budddy. This is starting to be one of my favorite detail channels. I would love to see more of your services explained with process and pricing. Thank you for taking the time to make these videobto help the detailing community you explain things very well. Have a great weekend.
I started my detailing in Philippines wanting to change the society of how they treat their cars, thinking it would be easy, but things happen and 1 year has passed still no customers but i won’t give up. I am currently learning from my mistakes, adapting, and trying to look for opportunities to promote and expose myself on the public. I will always believe that even if it takes long, it doesn’t mean it won’t work.
Hey man I admire that you’re dedicated and passionate, don’t give up and just focus on educating your community and society and posting videos online tagging your local area showing what you do and why it will benefit people Exactly quick results aren’t good results, the best results come with lots of effort overtime, keep it up!
I think what people forget is, theirs a difference from a detail venture to a actual detailing business, where you paying taxes, having money in a business account, paying your self etc. it’s like any industry on social media it’s made to be this money operation that anyone can do, but in real life it’s like anything in the world you have to play your cards right and put time and effort in.
Ya location and how people look at their cars will make a difference on what you can charge. If you're in an area with good income or a little lower income because of lower paying jobs
True that’s why even if you live in a lower income area the smartest thing you can do is go market and offer services in the high income areas, that’s exactly what I’ve done ✔️
I have my own Detailing company mostly mobile but have access to a shop. You are very accurate in your description of the day and the details. All these people.to.are car marketing gurus who promise you 10k a week is a pipe dream for 1 person. They steal your money and leave you with nothing. Had a buddy go through that. Great video and factual! Keep up the good work.1 important fact is location. California is different than Chicago, Florida, and Massachusetts. Everything varies
That’s real man, to do 10k a week you need a team and that takes lots of time to build! Thanks for watching! For sure man business is different in every city and state!
