You’re the kind of detailer the professional detailers would take their car to, outstanding job. By a mile the most thorough detail job I’ve seen on YouTube.

“Know your worth”…..excellent advice 👍🏻

What a great video. I’m a self employed carpenter, I love to detail my truck and trailer. Getting your process down is essential to making it easy to do with whatever frequency works for you. I wax about twice a year, I wash and clean almost every weekend. I also rouge and buff the aluminum/stainless trim on the trailer every couple of years in sections so I’m doing some section once or twice a year. I can wash, dry, vac, both in about 1 1/2 hrs. That’s far easier then ignoring it till it takes days of effort to make it only look ok. Up here in New England, almost all of the male half of my clients tell me that it made an impression on them that I have owned my now 20year old truck for 15years and it’s in really nice condition for being daily driven, in all weather, with over 300k of construction miles on the clock. I enjoy taking care of my stuff, took along time to collect all of it and all the skills and knowledge to care for it quickly and easily. As far as charging what your worth, depending on your personality and your background, this can be very difficult. We can pour our attention obsessively into our craft, get to the point of being really efficient at executing perfection, only to realize we have not built the “briefcase “ part of our skills and knowledge. If you love what you do, it worth the discomfort of growth in that area.

Tip number 17. If the carpet is or has been very nasty, dont hesitate to remove the carpet, hang up, and pressure wash. Especially if u already have the console out. The first time u wash it with a pressure washer, hung up, u will see that shampooing and extracting does very little. Shampooing only gets the surface clean. When u pressure wash (car wash), mud will roll out for days. U might easily spend 2 rolls of quarters to get it completely clean. Especially the heel pad area. There is absolutely no other way to achieve this level of clean. And make no mistake, it will not hurt the carpet. I have done it for many years on dozens of cars

Coming from someone who works at an assembly plant I see taking theses cars apart to detail as a huge liability risk. Make sure to get torque specs on every bolt and confirm no connections are broken/bent.

One thing I'd add isn't necessarily a cleaning tip bit one to do before cleaning. Always disconnect the vehicles battery before disassembling. It's possible to damage components or have to pay expensive labor fees to recalibrate sensors if they are unplugged while the battery is still connected.

You should do a separate video for the engine bay cleaning 👍

[scottspy]

When I was young I detailed hundreds of vehicles at my father's dealership. When cleaning the interior the first thing I did was to pull the carpet out and clip it to the wall in the wash bay and spray it with the pressure washer using hot water and car wash soap and watch the brown water flow away. Then I would leave it on a step ladder overnight to dry. Many times I would also replace the underlayment if the vehicle was really dirty. I found that this was the best process for carpets, especially for tan or light grey. 👍

Great video! Lots of good info and cool B roll.
A small, cheap paintbrush is good for getting into the AC vents or other places you can’t reach with a wipe/rag.
Also, my truck has vinyl floors. I love them so much. No more sandy carpet! I vacuum it out, then take a wet rag and wipe it down. Done. 👌

[elijahsalvator]

This video taught me that I should get my car detailed at garages by professionals 😂

[lockelamora]

Roll the windows down and clean the tops first.
After you dress the tires, roll the car forward 12 inches to wipe the area that was against the ground.

Cleaning the seatbelts can often fix slow retraction issues too, all that grime and dried hair grease makes them stiffer and resist coiling up.
I've fixed many seatbelt issues by pulling them out as far as possible and scrubbing with a brush and soap

[tomthebadyoutuber]

I’ve found it’s better to skip trying to spray dressing directly onto tires and just spray it on an applicator instead.

[blacktears]

Great video thanks for sharing great info

The drill brushes I purchased from you are wonderful. They were a birthday gift to my bf. They helped to take out years of crime. We are both impressed.

[WJHandyDad]

I typically do the whole seat removal thing on my own vehicles when I get them (new to me used vehicles) and then periodically thereafter. You are right there is no substitute for doing it. I have had folks ask me to detail their vehicle and I have no clue what to charge because obviously there is a difference between just a wash and dry vac versus removing seats and cleaning all the nooks and crannies. How do you determine a fair price for that level of service that folks will pay?

[supermate]

When I watch these YouTube car detailers, I feel like I would need to go through 2000 detailers around my city, to find someone as good as them.

[joshuasmith]

I’m looking to start detailing as a side hustle myself and these tips helped immensely! I love cleaning and detailing, what tools do you recommend I get to start off with? Also, generally what is your routine or schedule you have for detailing a car?
