The wife tryna teach me how to deal with leather. And you gloss over leather conditioner is a scam..plz, details. So we can all be educated =] Edit figured you'd get around to it But the moment has passed. I'll just tell her I did it like.she said to. How do you handle headliners? (Example:.multi year smoker car with multiple instances of getting wet from sunroof leaving tabacco/waterline stain) Probably worst kind of stain, yes? I assume use more care.than you do on carpet Scuff marks. Looks like dirt but isn't. Advanced leather stains, and lack of.care where the leather is super dry. Pro tips on unusual situations Um, good.job, thanks !
I respect the hustle young man. Here’s a few things I’d like to point out to help you out (judging by the look of the area, you’re probably in Leander or cedar park, and I support fellow Texans) 1. Leather conditioner is not a scam. It’s job is not to protect leather, it’s to moisturize and make it last longer. Remember, leather is skin, and just like our skin, it needs moisture and hydration to prevent cracking, wrinkles, etc. the goal is to extend the life of the leather to prevent this. Now a new car most likely won’t need a leather conditioner since most new leather in vehicles nowadays is coated. Older vehicles will need this. Meguiars sells a really good one, or Leatherique is really good too. 2. Try to avoid spraying products directly onto the surface if it isn’t carpet, especially on the door switches. Spray onto a rag and wipe, or spray into your brush, then agitate. That moisture is going to wear out and ruin those switches over time. 3. Same for glad, avoid spraying directly into the surface. Also, don’t forget to roll down that window and clean the edge to fully clean the window, and don’t forget to flip the rag over to the dry side and buff out the product. 4. Remember, less is more. Your approach to cleaning the carpets is great, but don’t oversaturate them with product. 5. Try not to use sharp objects like that to clean perforated seats. Compressed air works just fine, or a fine (soft) bristle brush. You don’t want to run the risk of tearing the seats with that, no matter how careful you are. Also, same goes for seats, especially perforated ones in high end/luxury vehicles. I’m assuming that vehicle had heated or ventilated seats, which means there’s electronics in there. Moisture is not a friend to electronics. 6. Get a rubber mat (even a yoga mat works fine) mat to clean carpeted floor mats. Avoid putting them on the concrete. Can even get those cheap, foam puzzle piece mats and that works too. 7. GLOVES, GLOVES, GLOVES. Can’t stress this enough. If it’s on you, it’s in you. Overall, great technique and methods. I especially love that you clean the vehicle from back to front. I find this to be the best method so you don’t miss anything, and you end in the drivers seat in case you need to move the vehicle. I wish you well in your detailing journey.
Thank you so much for all of this information! I'm going to look into these things and implement some of them. And you're right lol, live in Leander. Where are you? You seem to know the area pretty darn well!
@@HudsonArcher_Details no thanks needed man. I’m always happy to share information I learned along the way to help out. I’m currently in Los Angeles, but I was a roofing contractor in Leander/Austin/Cedar Park/Hutto, central Texas in general. Actually looking to move back to the area, so I’ll keep you in mind for detailing. I’d recommend even trying to hit up some of the roofing businesses to get customers out of them. Kangaroof has a pretty large fleet, Newruf also has a few trucks, Coast to Coast Contractors, etc. Probably will work best to sell exterior washes, and skip the interior with most of them (inside of a contractor truck is usually going to stay messy and they’re particular about their stuff inside). I know image is important to a lot of the roofing businesses so you could try it out. Coast to Coast is in Leander so you could start there. Newruf, in hutto might be a good deal. Mike, the owner is a bit of an ass, but the man is all about image (he’ll try and buckle and dime you, but just hold firm on your pricing). Any tips or help ever wanted, just holler.
@@Isadore These are amazing ideas, if you have instagram, please send me a DM to @hudarcher. I'd love to connect and get some more insight about the roofing business!
Automobile leather isn't real, hide leather. It's a form of plastic that is dyed, and coated with another plastic coating. The way to keep it looking good isn't by using leather conditioners, it's by keeping it clean, and being mindful how you're sitting in it to prevent cracking.
Thank you for posting! My son has autism and just graduated from trade school for auto detailing. He's a perfectionist and he doesn't have to interact with people much if we have our own business. I have no idea what I'm doing but he needs a vocation and a way to make money that will work for him. This was so helpful!
There is a Few things that someone never showed you if your an open mined individual young man I can share it. Outside of that well I do admire the energy and the drive as well as your passion. I been in the industry doing Marine, Air, Extreme / RVs , Tour Buss Fleet ect Lear Jets, Helicopters, down to a Semi, Box and Lemmo Fleets. From a Lambo, Rari down to a Pinto. Over 2 Decades. I was older then you are now being on my own Again i admire your Attitude. Good timing to you and God Bless your new business.
All of my customers want the OEM look/feel. So it really depends on what leather conditioner you use and how you apply it. I use the chemical guys one and with that you must make sure that you buff it off within 2 minutes of applying. If left longer than that it will leave the leather glossy and sticky. If i accidentally leave it on too long i spray interior cleaner on them to remove the condition and reapply. I also use a fresh microfiber afterwards to ensure I wiped up all the excess. After 6-8 hours it will have the original shine and feel as OEM leather.
It doesn’t take more than 10 minutes to explain how to do an interior, don’t know why so many Detailing UA-camrs make them so long & full of useless fluff 🤷🏼♂️
Watched so many videos and it’s crazy to me how the best tip so far is the towel on the windshield blocking the sun lol Definitely need that the other day when I was cleansing out my car
This is a fantastic video. I really appreciate that there’s not a ton of extra fluff and you get straight to the point. Definitely will put some of these tips to use!
Air compressions and tornador style blowers is a way faster process eliminating allot of time wasting vacuuming is why I recommend that process especially pet hair issues.
I don't even use glass cleaner, I just use warm water soak it with microfiber squeezed and wiped followed by dry microfiber much clearer glass compare to any glass cleaner out there
i just got myself a hyandai (idk if thats spelled right) wet and dry hoover which doubles as an extractor for carpets with a chemical tank to and spray from the nozzle, and it has the option to blow like a compressor with all the extractor and hoover accessories for £199 brand new
Great video! Though, having owned classic cars leather conditioner is a must. A lot of cars don't need it but the older the car, specifically pre 2005, definitely need it. I say pre 2005 as from cars I've owned the synthetic coating on leather has definitely gotten better. I do feel it wears away over time however, and I love Griots Leather 3-in-1 and I let it soak in. Get compliments at Cars&Coffee for how good my seats look. Personally though, I prefer vinyl seats (especially older NuLuxe, as I find it softer and more comfortable than leather, yet my little experience with the material usually is with Lexus cars)
Vinyl seats are definitely better. And when I do use conditioner, I use Griot's. They have a fantastic line-up! Newer cars and conditioner is definitely not my choice just because of the kind of material used now
Archer great video! Now, Hudson I have a quick personal question for you I see that you have acne pretty bad and I know what it is like I too had it worse than what you have , but I was given some advice once from an old man that if I cut out all dairy from my diet my acne will vanish completely. I thought yeah ok I'll try it about a month later I was shocked because my acne was completely gone no lie. I never saw the man again so I just thought he must've been an angel in disguise. But try it out my friend I promise you that you will thank me later 1000% keep up the good work brother
Amazing short to the point video.. addresses some potential barriers if entry for guys that want to explore this as a side gig or more.. knowing that you can rig up a makeshift steamer is gold that little bit there. Thanks a bunch. Will be tuning in to your channel for more content. Cheers!
Great video! I only use vacuum, towels, p&s swift, Adam’s wheel/tire cleaner & All in One Leather Conditioner!!! 🗿 ohhh & I always have a steamer to make cleaning absolutely making my detail beyond easy!!!
Love your inspiration. I really want a mobile detailing business. Can I ask for a tip? Can the detailing business start with just exterior work, which I find it more simpler and less time consuming.
Came across ur page and checked out ur other videos and great stuff. Crazy to believe ur just 17 cause u sound & look way mature for 17. Keep it up homie. I'm double ur age but keep bein boss man, ur business so older ppl will work for u (from ur other video) so don't let these old heads keep u from goin up. Great videos!
DIY rinseless wash is a very underrated product for interior cleaning. Most of the time, it’s all I need. I use a few sprays of all clean in particularly nasty cupholders, but everything else gets a rinseless wash dampened towel or brush.
Here in Las Vegas you really need something that conditions the leather. The heat and dryness here is so extreme, with a conditioner the leather cracks in a very short time.
That tip about cleaning windows in the sun was on point. I have the same Rigid vacuum and hose you have. Can you please send me explain the setup of attaching the extractor nozzle to the hose? Very interested in that setup. Really like the video.
Good info just wished you actually showed what the carpet looked like after the drill brush. Instead you skipped that and stuck the extractor on the same spot. So did the stain not come out with the drill brush or did you have to extract it to make it come out.
@@HudsonArcher_Details I think the structure of your services and how you priced them at first. For example should there be different levels to an exterior and interior wash or just one. Would it always include a clay bar or iron remover. Should sealents be added or be an upsale for the wax. And how do you get customers interested in maybe graphene or even ceramic coatings if you offer it. Paint corrections and things like that. This is the only piece I have left to fully learn because I feel I have the actual process and knowledge of the service down. I just need to refine my pricing and efficiency. I know it’s a lot. Sorry
Diy detail guys should give your video a thumbs up every day for yourfre un affiliate marketing but it's just your Truth that works for you I agree leather conditioner is scam so is headlight restoration kits 25to50dollars when lemon cut ihafe with baking soda does similar results or wet it your self with sand paper or if you don't mind frequently dosing your head light in wd40 it's all a work
Very nice editing and narrative content. You really have confidence in your craft and it shows in your expert review of the products and processes you use when doing an interior detail. Very good and useful information. Especially for a person who doesn't want to invest a lot of money in detailing products, but can still get you similar or the same results. Kudo's to you sir. Keep up the great work buddy. You'll have thousands more subscribers as soon as you are more well known.
Really appreciate the support my friend! I’m going to keep pushing to help as many people as I can. The following will simply be my reward. Happy detailing!!
Fantastic and good communication. How do you price interiors? I’m thinking of specializing on interiors only in my area and wondering how to go about all of this…
Thanks for the video! Unrelated, but I'm always such a rock that doesn't ask for special treatment, and doesn't want to waste other's time, and tries to steer others away from bad habits, but it always ends up with them trying to hurt me because I'm so solid in my principles. Sad. They do drugs to escape reality, but are mad at me for not wanting to take responsibility for their problems and wanting to live in my own world and distract myself from their bullshit.
Great great video u will help us to save a lot of money on products that we don’t need I like the vacuum transformation on a carpet cleaner or drying thats awesome thanks a lot
Good stuff. I like that vacuum mod. What would you recommend for dog drool staining on leather-like door panels (5th gen 4Runner)? I've tried simple green and a Maguier product by you can still see the drool stains. Perhaps it eteched itself into the material?
If you can't get them out with a strong all purpose cleaner, perhaps try a stain remover like P&S Terminator, if that doesn't work then you may be right about it having etched itself into the material :(
Great video definitely taught me a few things. What are your and people in the comments thoughts on Armor All protectant or Chemical Guys Inner clean? I found that they were not so good even though I followed instructions and used clean rags. (Lots of streaks)
Conditioner isn’t a scam… not only dose it smell great but it protects and restores leather and vinyl, especially when your app is diluted incorrectly and leaves white residue
It saved me a lotttt of money! Currently trying to figure out how to DIY a heater for it to have a hot water extractor. Will share once I make a breakthrough!
@HudsonArcher_Details I have a genuine question. I’m about to begin my business but I’ve come across an issue that may be common. A lot of folks usually have their own garden hose installed and a Nozzle already attached and they’ve never removed the Hose from the Nozzle and it is very stuck after all the years that have passed. Is there a sure way to remove the two easily? Or would I have to resort to getting my own 100 gallon tank to have my own source of water for water pressure instead of relying on my customers water from the pipe?
A quick question about the rare use of the extractor, once you finish with the drill brush what other method do you use to remove the product you applied? I'd assume just a microfibre cloth to soak it up?
@@HudsonArcher_Details Thank you I appreciate it, I have another question do you use customers taps to use a pressure washer or do you have some portable one with a water tank sort of thing?
enjoyed watching your video. We're DIY'rs therefore we likely wouldn't pay to have detailing done. I was interested in where you got the products you used. In the future, if you can, list the products used and where you purchased, providing links as well. Makes it much quicker for us that want to use the same products your promoting and could possibly give you some commission as well!
Hey man great tips! However at 9:56 I see your process of adding chemicals then agitation with the drill brush which is great but do pick up the dirt and stains up after agitation with a rag or extractor like you did later in the video or just agitate?
Hello. I have a 2010 Altima and I live in South Florida. Altought I put one sun shield on the dashboard and another one behind it, my dashboard starts cracking. It’s still flexible and does not feel rigid but still cracking. Do you think I can protect it from cracking if I apply silicon spray or vaselin on it? If not, what do you recommend? TY
You can do 95% of what you were doing with all clean with just a rinse-less wash dampened towel. No need to use harsh chemicals when you don’t need to, will save you money and will allow the customers surfaces to last much longer. I only use an apc or interior cleaner after the rinseless wipe it needed. Good video though.
I've heard of doing this and thought about trying. My biggest concern is that it might slow us down because we will be putting too much moisture in the car using rinseless and have to spend time drying it up. Any tips for this?
Ring the towel out almost entirely before you go. I also don’t spray anything directly on a surface unless it is just trashed. Always into a towel or on a brush.
Love this video! Try out DIY Detail Clean and Protect! It cleans and protects in one go and it doesn't make leather shiny IMO. I love their interior Ceramic tho
You can buy a small hand held steam cleaner for like $50, and it works very well, so they're not that expensive, and they make the job 100101010 times easier
Love what your doing man, What Chemical Guys stuff do you like to use? and i have Bee Poop on my dam car! What do you suggest using to remove it? Keep up the hustle man!
You can get these really cool textured sponges online or even Walmart called bug scrubbers. They are soft but have a thin mesh material on the outside that scrubs the bugs off. That with a bug removing solution works great on my car. During the summer months we get tons of knats and mosquitos that just explode all over the front end of the car and are really difficult to get off. I found with those scrubbers and the solution, it gets them off easy enough while also not scratching the paint and surface.
With the IK sprayer how do you do multiple different products? Do you have multiple sprayers or one? Is it just another bottle for it? Also thanks for the great advice!
How simply did YOU start your detailing business?
The wife tryna teach me how to deal with leather. And you gloss over leather conditioner is a scam..plz, details.
So we can all be educated =]
Edit figured you'd get around to it
But the moment has passed.
I'll just tell her I did it like.she said to.
How do you handle headliners?
(Example:.multi year smoker car with multiple instances of getting wet from sunroof leaving tabacco/waterline stain)
Probably worst kind of stain, yes?
I assume use more care.than you do on carpet
Scuff marks. Looks like dirt but isn't.
Advanced leather stains, and lack of.care where the leather is super dry.
Pro tips on unusual situations
Um, good.job, thanks !
Many thanks. Can you please send me the names of the products for car detailing.
I respect the hustle young man. Here’s a few things I’d like to point out to help you out (judging by the look of the area, you’re probably in Leander or cedar park, and I support fellow Texans)

4. Remember, less is more. Your approach to cleaning the carpets is great, but don’t oversaturate them with product.
5. Try not to use sharp objects like that to clean perforated seats. Compressed air works just fine, or a fine (soft) bristle brush.

I’m assuming that vehicle had heated or ventilated seats, which means there’s electronics in there. Moisture is not a friend to electronics.

Really appreciate the support my friend! I’m going to keep pushing to help as many people as I can. The following will simply be my reward.
Happy detailing!!
Video is awesome! A small error with the blurring on the license plate tho 😥
Fantastic and good communication. How do you price interiors? I’m thinking of specializing on interiors only in my area and wondering how to go about all of this…
This is very helpful. I just want to be able to offer to people I know because I do so many things
Thanks for the video!
Unrelated, but I'm always such a rock that doesn't ask for special treatment, and doesn't want to waste other's time, and tries to steer others away from bad habits, but it always ends up with them trying to hurt me because I'm so solid in my principles. Sad.
They do drugs to escape reality, but are mad at me for not wanting to take responsibility for their problems and wanting to live in my own world and distract myself from their bullshit.
Keep your head down brother, stay true to your beliefs, and grow yourself as a man first. I'm rooting for you ❤
Amazing video brother I would use glass cleaner for sceens
I do like glass cleaner for screens depending on how dirty they are. Sometimes those things can be real greasy!
Great great video u will help us to save a lot of money on products that we don’t need I like the vacuum transformation on a carpet cleaner or drying thats awesome thanks a lot
You are most certainly welcome!
Excellent video, Hudson. I’ve liked and subscribed ❤to
Good stuff. I like that vacuum mod. What would you recommend for dog drool staining on leather-like door panels (5th gen 4Runner)? I've tried simple green and a Maguier product by you can still see the drool stains. Perhaps it eteched itself into the material?
If you can't get them out with a strong all purpose cleaner, perhaps try a stain remover like P&S Terminator, if that doesn't work then you may be right about it having etched itself into the material :(
Great video definitely taught me a few things. What are your and people in the comments thoughts on Armor All protectant or Chemical Guys Inner clean?
I found that they were not so good even though I followed instructions and used clean rags.
(Lots of streaks)
Thank you good information ,and your communication skills is extremely excellent.
What interior detail/agitating brushes do u use? Thx for the content/info.
I agree with a lot of what you are saying but conditioner is necessary, just like your dry skin needs lotion.
Watching all the way from the British Virgin Islands. Great video! You got yourself a sub.
well thank you sir! i appreciate it!
what’s the detailing scene like on the islands?
Dunno where you're buying extractors. Mine was $145, combined wet and dry vac. Does what I need.
Can you make a video showing how to dilute it? Like what does 30 to 1 even mean? I'm not a chemist in a science lab
Hey man, we need the amazon link or product link for the shop vac extractor pieces --- much appreciated my man
Ripclean has a kit on amazon
Conditioner isn’t a scam… not only dose it smell great but it protects and restores leather and vinyl, especially when your app is diluted incorrectly and leaves white residue
Extractor build felt like a life hack ngl, never thought of that😂😂
It saved me a lotttt of money! Currently trying to figure out how to DIY a heater for it to have a hot water extractor. Will share once I make a breakthrough!
I’m just starting out. Can you use a portable 120W vacuum or is that not enough power?
@HudsonArcher_Details I have a genuine question. I’m about to begin my business but I’ve come across an issue that may be common. A lot of folks usually have their own garden hose installed and a Nozzle already attached and they’ve never removed the Hose from the Nozzle and it is very stuck after all the years that have passed. Is there a sure way to remove the two easily? Or would I have to resort to getting my own 100 gallon tank to have my own source of water for water pressure instead of relying on my customers water from the pipe?
Great video man
I’ve ordered my van and it’s coming soon
Your videos are very inspiring
hey man like your energy, great vid!
Thank you!
A quick question about the rare use of the extractor, once you finish with the drill brush what other method do you use to remove the product you applied? I'd assume just a microfibre cloth to soak it up?
Yup! Steamer & microfiber cloth. Luke Wilson’s “dry extraction” method is super efficient
@@HudsonArcher_Details Thank you I appreciate it, I have another question do you use customers taps to use a pressure washer or do you have some portable one with a water tank sort of thing?
enjoyed watching your video. We're DIY'rs therefore we likely wouldn't pay to have detailing done. I was interested in where you got the products you used. In the future, if you can, list the products used and where you purchased, providing links as well. Makes it much quicker for us that want to use the same products your promoting and could possibly give you some commission as well!
They are in the description! All the products are linked with my code.
I appreciate the support 🙌🏻
Have you had any issues with All Clean causing damage at 30:1? I've used Rinseless on plastics and All Clean on upholstery, worked pretty good.
Clean and simple process.
Hey man great tips! However at 9:56 I see your process of adding chemicals then agitation with the drill brush which is great but do pick up the dirt and stains up after agitation with a rag or extractor like you did later in the video or just agitate?
I usually agitate, then use a rag to wipe the surface dry
Hello. I have a 2010 Altima and I live in South Florida. Altought I put one sun shield on the dashboard and another one behind it, my dashboard starts cracking. It’s still flexible and does not feel rigid but still cracking. Do you think I can protect it from cracking if I apply silicon spray or vaselin on it? If not, what do you recommend? TY
Straight to the point reel me in type of video, great work youngin, I see you 🫡
this deserves a sub i just started and i like how you explain things
What about under the seats? Bunch of debris that gets under there that you didn’t get vacuumed
You can do 95% of what you were doing with all clean with just a rinse-less wash dampened towel. No need to use harsh chemicals when you don’t need to, will save you money and will allow the customers surfaces to last much longer. I only use an apc or interior cleaner after the rinseless wipe it needed. Good video though.
I've heard of doing this and thought about trying. My biggest concern is that it might slow us down because we will be putting too much moisture in the car using rinseless and have to spend time drying it up. Any tips for this?
Ring the towel out almost entirely before you go. I also don’t spray anything directly on a surface unless it is just trashed. Always into a towel or on a brush.
@@Stainlessautos gotcha, thanks for the tip
Have to agree here. He's a DIY guy (code and all). Yvan has tons of videos of only using Rinseless for interior.
Relatively new channel but your production quality, content and enthusiasm is great. Best of luck to you. I’m subscribed to watch you grow!
Awesome video! Im starting my detailing business soon, is there a link to the products you use?
Wait quick question, you didn't use pressured water for the carpets?
After you drill the carpet, how do you remove the shampoo do you wash it with a hose or pressure washer or do you use a microfiber towel?
lightly dab it with a microfiber to dry it up. You shouldn't use so much shampoo that it gets soaked
@@HudsonArcher_Details and can you do this method on the seats and the inside carpet or any upholstery?
@@Santitostiros yup!
Great video bro, wating for new ones :)
New ones always in the pipeline... get ready :o
Should you wipe with a damp microfiber towel after using the all clean on interior ?
Nope, when you use All Clean at 30:1 dilution ratio it’s perfectly safe for interior use without having to use a damp microfiber
Where can I find all the products used for building the extractor from the shop vac?
Hey bud, your Diy link doesn't seem to work. Do you have an affiliate code that works with them?
Awesome video !!! Clear and concise information. Love it
Thank you!
Love this video! Try out DIY Detail Clean and Protect! It cleans and protects in one go and it doesn't make leather shiny IMO. I love their interior Ceramic tho
I really like Clean & Protect as well, but all clean is much cheaper lol
You can buy a small hand held steam cleaner for like $50, and it works very well, so they're not that expensive, and they make the job 100101010 times easier
I actually just bought one lol, does make the job easier, but not necessary to start off :)
Yeah I guess thats a fair point@@HudsonArcher_Details
You have a bright future ahead.
Love what your doing man, What Chemical Guys stuff do you like to use? and i have Bee Poop on my dam car! What do you suggest using to remove it? Keep up the hustle man!
You can get these really cool textured sponges online or even Walmart called bug scrubbers. They are soft but have a thin mesh material on the outside that scrubs the bugs off. That with a bug removing solution works great on my car. During the summer months we get tons of knats and mosquitos that just explode all over the front end of the car and are really difficult to get off. I found with those scrubbers and the solution, it gets them off easy enough while also not scratching the paint and surface.
@@PapaChorizo96 Thanks!
diy detail and mountain valley are the best!
You sure know what’s up!
I made a video on how you can make that extractor yourself - Hope this helps!😀
@HudsonArcher_Details What is the preferred liquid solution for the touch screen and odometer screen? Is glass cleaner ok to use?
With the IK sprayer how do you do multiple different products? Do you have multiple sprayers or one? Is it just another bottle for it? Also thanks for the great advice!
I have at least 6 IK Sprayers! They are just that good!
