Wow!!! I've been a mobile detailer/business owner for over 12 years, and I definitely picked a few ideas to make my work more efficient. I really appreciate it! I am really good at what I do, but there's always room to improve. When you think you know everything, you know nothing. Detailers in my area are always in competition with each other and having secrets to success, but don't wanna share the knowledge. Painters are the same (I'm a painter/detailer). Why do that? There are plenty of cars out there. Why can't we become a tight community and share the knowledge so we all can become successful? I was just speaking from my experiences. I've learned a lot from trial and error and youtube, which has helped me out over the years. My brother (currently locked up) is teaching a class on business, and he asked me to give him information on the detailing business, where to buy chemicals, advice, etc. I'm gonna see if I can send him this video. If not, I need a transcript so I can email this to him. Thanks again❤❤❤
i hear you! i’m 20 just started a little over a year ago. i hit up one of the bigger detailers in my area, offering me to work for free for his knowledge, and he denied it. more motivation to become bigger and better though!
Hey glen w, would mind sharing some tips for someone who is new/learning and looking to start a mobile business? Maybe tips on finding customers or maybe your thoughts on what sets the professionals apart from amateurs.
Glen , You have a Great attitude and it’s impressive to read this.. Keep it up! The world needs more people like you , working hard and positive energy!
If you know all the local guys get them in a group chat and set prices so everyone can eat. Get the cheap guys to quit cutting their own throat and ruining the economy. 🤷
Bro I can definitely agree with you 100% my girlfriend doesn't understand either what goes into detailing she thinks it's just vacuuming and whipping down things and washing it's more to that.
2 quick tips 1- be careful with the vacuum hose,make sure it doesn't rub up on the rocker panels/rear bumper 2- keep all windows down so you dont inhale all the chemicals, until the end when your ready to clean them. Thats it... my 2 cents Love the vids guys 👌🏻
Perfect timing Jason. usually do “clean” cars, but to help a neighbour out who has gone OS, I said I’d cleans their kiddy mobile. After 2 hours of ‘head down bum up” in the boot/load area, your reminder of heat and a tornador has reminded me on how I can get it scrubbed clean efficiently. Thanks. Lloyd
It's one of the best videos EVER in the industry. Simple, strategic, and thorough. I can't wait to master this. I spent two years for my church in Chicago years ago. I'm making a trip back next spring and would love to see your facility. You guys are the best. Thank you for your content.
Very great points i am going to try 1 or 2 of them. I normally only do ones that are a little rough and i got it down to 5-8 hours with an exterior wash but I have to extract every single one. I also use a bucket of ONR to predampen the panels and wipe away the dirt (as well as keep my brushes clean) because the ones I do are always really dirty. Doing it that way also keeps my cost down as I use less of the CarPro Inside which is my go to interior cleaner
Cleaning interior outside, or at least starting outside with work trucks, leaf blower is your friend. Highest output you can get. Backpack blowers work great. Knocks out 2/3 of the dust and dirt. Also knocks the junk out of the vents. Pulling the cabin air filter and blowing that out, changing the filter and deodorizing that entire area helps a lot. It's a 20 minute job to get it all cleaned up to the cowl, but works great.
This guy is a great example of someone who speaks confidently and has nice surroundings so you’d assume he has a lot of knowledge but in actuality the advice he gives is very mid
Agreed. Who still uses silicone based products? Guys that call a center console a “center counsel” 😂 In all seriousness though…legit detailers would never use a shiny silicone based interior dressing.. might as well be using armor oil. Invest in some water based products that leave a natural matte finish like when your car is brand new.
The video i took revealed i walked away from the vehicle almost 40 times. The center counsel was not pleased. 😂 truthfully though that was an eye opener. I use tide pods for most of my interior cleaning. I agree that less is more when using water. I dissolve one pod per 1.5 gallons of water. With a spray bottle or carpet shampooer.
Definitely a good idea to buy a collapsing tablet to clean the floor matts so your not on the dirty floor on your knees. Personally for applying shine or protection on the plastics I put some in a towel and use a dedicated brush to wipe in the hard to reach areas then wipe over with a towel and blow out the cracks and wipe with a dry towel.
This is great lesson even for the at home enthusiast like myself. I found myself doing the same, circling the car or keep going back and forth into the garage to grab something. Doing two cars it’s all about time efficiency. Great video!!
Folex cleaner does wonders, and use the tornador to blow out the inside along with the white drill brush to brush out dirt. I watched many detail interior videos, almost all do the same just have different methods. Crack open the window and wipe the trim, roll it back up and do one side side ways the other side upwards so you see the streaks if any… started detailing back in 2006 when I was 18
I always clean the dirtiest parts first. pedals, steering wheel, buttons, cup holders center console and cubbies. then I clean wipe down the dash and doors. I have to vacuum last because if not then the tornador gets dust particles on everything so that saves a lot of time doing this way. also I use a rinseless cleaner like absolute or onr because I can clean the glass with it too in the same step. I'll go around with a brand new dry microfiber after everything is done to hit the high gloss surfaces and remove any residue. work smarter with less tools if you can use one thing for multiple surfaces, do it. great videos always learning from you. keep it up. 💯 subscribed 👍
Just started my detail business last month I been detailing on my own for about 5 years finally decided to invest into it I’m still finding my way and learning day by day with each job this video def gave me better insight on my work . Any tips or ideas I’m always open to !!
I still learn from Yvan he's always finding ways to be more efficient. I really like that you're out there and showing them how to work your process. The owner of the company himself, that to me is awesome! I hope to make it to Chicago one day, you're absolutely awesome!
This is a very educational video and a lot of us are using similar techniques. The dry ice is cool for interiors and the blowout was strong. Pet hair is terrible and customers always underestimate the amount of pet hair in a car. Thank you for this video!
I love these kind of videos. There are enough videos out there where detailers or paid influencers go on about how they'd detail their cars with all of the products/tools/time in the world, but rarely address how to do so and to set a realistic time target. Barring the dry ice machine which a weekend warrior like myself wouldn't afford for just this (same for the wet vac, though a case can be made for that one) I like the method and targets set here. As a minivan owner I usually spend about an hour on the interior, and even then it's not particularly dirty, it's just a lot of cubbies and storage spaces and well, kids doing kid stuff. I can easily see spending 2 hours if it wasn't my constantly maintained car and even more if it's really dirty.
Awesome job just so you know I bought the three bottles of carpet cleaner and neutralizer this is why videos are important part of training, thank you great job.
Jason... this is a great video. Your process is similar to mine, I also use the P&S interior system. I also use P&S' Express Interior Cleaner. I feel having a steamer is a necessity for interior carpet and upholstery. I save a sample of what I pulled out of the carpets and cloth upholstery to show the client... they are amazed,
This is what I do to ready the interior of my car, 1. Remove all the stuff in your car so there is nothing. 2. Open all the vehicle doors windows rolled down 3. Fire up the leaf blower. 4. Vacuum then detail. 5. Easy
Saying the word council as opposed to Con-Sol is more efficient you don't have to get in and out of the car as many times and in the end it's better for the customer 🤣
I saw all the comments, but thought maybe it was an accent issue. So seriously, how is it possible for a professional car detailer to think it's called a council? 😂 Thats alright. Dude knows what he's doing and just showed us. Appreciated.
Hey, quick question about the order of working top down and doing surfaces before carpets. My region has harsh winters with lots of gravel and salt getting into the carpets, so much so that a simple extraction or vacuum will not catch everything. I pretty much have to use the air gun to blow out the carpets, and even with caution, that gravel gets kicked up along with any dog hair and other debris, and settles on all the other surfaces of the car. If I work top down I will absolutely have to rewipe every surface, as opposed to doing one finishing quick vac from any minor debris that lands on the carpets. I look at it like- what will get dirtier from the other? The minimal dust and crumbs on the vinyl will barely affect the cleaned carpets, whereas the dirty ass carpets will coat the cleaned vinyl all over again. The alternative is to just vacuum longer and avoid the air gun until I absolutely need it but I find it takes longer to reach stupid crevices and clean stubborn dirt with a vacuum, when I could just blow it out. Appreciate anyone's input.
Big Mistake, In my opinion to avoid vacuuming at first. Vacuum towards the end so you are NOT repeating work. My rule is to start at the top and work downward. Also, do not add leather conditioner to the end. I see too many people adding leather conditioner/cleaner to the seats, the the detailer sits on a clean seat. If working in summer, your are sweating, often drenched, apply conditioner towards the end. How many detailer haves dry ice? As far as charging, give them an estimate, but let them know it could take longer or shorter. Charge them by the hour. It can take less than an hour or several hours to complete an interior detailer, never the same. The goal of interior is to thorough clean & protect all surfaces, as best as possible. Let your customer know sometimes stains are set in and you can not remove all stains. Don't forget to check cabin filter.
The caveat here in my opinion is I like to vacuum senstive surfances to pull up as much debris as possible at first. I find that if I vacuum well and use my interior process i do not have any debris left on the carpets at the end if I can avoid putting my feet in the vehicle (not always easy). IF you are a mobile detailier I think vacuuming towards the end makes alot more sense becuase you environment is dirtier and there is always something floating into the car while you are working - dandelion fuzzes, pollen etc.
@@MarkTrades__ Simple instructions when interioring detailing are, Start at the Top and work downward, never spray chemicals directly onto surfaces, especially on electronics and or dash. Do the same process each time, so you work efficiently.
Theres some good tips on here. What dry ice machine and air compressor setup do you suggest for a garage detail shop 900 sq ft to start to do dry ice cleaning?
Are you I wouldn't even touch the car or charge double pet hair is annoying and disgusting I charge people double especially when they have pet hair in their vehicles
I think it primarily depends on how premium the carpets are. Crappy carpets waste so much time and can even make it impossible to remove certain things :(
I use a 5L water boiler (kettles work too) - boil water, wear 2 pairs of chemical gloves (so you don't burn your hands), and then I shampoo the carpet (with boiling water) and vacuum it out. Works better than a steam clean.
@@sportturismo_4s 1) pour boiling water into a bucket 2) add car shampoo 3) wear 2 pairs of chemical gloves (to insulate hands from burnin') 4) use a wash mitt to scrub the floors with boiling shampoo water 5) shop-vac it up after Cleans the carpets better than my $1,000 steam cleaner.
I feel like I would rathe💀r give a rebate on the detail if they have all-weather rubber mats than deal with someone who drives a car with the fabric carpets in a place like the midwest
Great video and good tips on cleaning order. Being efficient can benefit even the weekend warrior, able to do 4 cars a weekend or more instead of just one or two.
Hi. I'm a DIY detailer. Doing several cars a year. Not being a professional and I understand I don't have access to the top ceramic coatings. In your opinion What is the best ceramic coating brand i can purchase online?
Very well said Jason!! Interior efficiency is the place where I think many workers struggle with because of the long list of factors that go into it. Everything you mentioned was spot on, clear to understand, and constructive for any business to easily implement. Im definitely going to try your teachings on my upcoming job! Many thanks Jason and the CAP Team for creating this informative video for all to learn! ;)
I bought a 2005 Rumble Bee from an old lady who used it as a dump/work truck. She had her little dogs in there every day for 20 years. Ive cleaned it so many times and im still getting more dog hair
Little bit of dawn dish detergent and water or laundry detergent and water. Make sure you do not use a lot of soap.... works on everything and just as good if not better then anything..
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
I work by myself so how many guys are on your job with your timeframe you gave ? Also should I be washing/drying the door jams for interior only? This would be a important factor to note in your video ???Thanks for video
You do alot of the things 99% of the other youtube detailer guys are warning about. You spray your products in the car and you can just see clouds of everything getting where you dont want them. It just looked really sloppy tbh - i would never take my car to detail shop that was so worried about speed.
great video, thank you. I enjoy your channel, and hope to make it out to Chicago to visit /take a class at some point. on the dry ice machine: your link shows an $8,000. machine. this alone would more than double my total investment cost for my fledgling startup detailing business. help me understand what value a dry ice capability brings over just compressed air. when would you not use it and use compressed air instead? I am trying to understand its place in the detailer’s arsenal. thanks for replying.
I’ve never heard anyone call a console a counsel. But, this is one of the top detailers and detail shops around. I don’t care WHAT Jason calls anything or how he pronounces it.
Being super efficient is a must! I will be honest though, this looks/seems like a rushed interior detail. I have been detailing for a while now and know that you can't fully achieve cleaning all the plastic/vinyl crevasses without a steam cleaner 80% of the time. The conditioners are sketchy, was not a fan of scrubbing that steering wheel super quick and not cleaning it evenly, are we shampooing all the carpets and seats? Or just getting the eye sores out of them? Are door jambs just en exterior detailing thing? Are we not cleaning the gas pedals, remove scuff marks from the plastics? Overall just don't see a very detailed, professional finish after this for most cars that need an interior detail. I will however try using that towel to clean windows, I usually use a window towel, but maybe that one will do a better job.
I have found that when clearing out interior personnel items (pockets/cup holders/door pockets) when bagged, to set item bags into a plastic tub/Lundy basket/etc and lay keys onto of bagged items. Vehicle will always leave with personal items back in vehicle. Just food for thought
when using conditioners, and cleaners, I get build up in tight places. Like cracks and crevices, around buttons, and it’s near impossible to wipe out with a rag. Can any one tell me what the easiest way to address this issue? I’m thinking about purchasing a compressor and using a blow out tool.
BRB. Going consult with the Center Council.
If you're going to laugh at someone's diction, you may want to get your own English correct. Maybe throw a "to" before "consult". Lol
Lol

Your average shop probably doesn't have or will ever own a dry ice machine.
You can just use a tornador or blow gun. The dry ice machine cleans better than either of those but you can just use compressed air.
Don’t be average.

Many thanks Jason and the CAP Team for creating this informative video for all to learn! ;)
Glad that you got some value out of it.
You're going to buy a roughly $4k dry ice machine to play around with, are you related to the bidens?
Quick question on the carpets....pros cons to using a brush or like a drill brush on agitating carpets
Im just curious, if you get like a topless jeep wrangler that has been offroading, would you charge that closer to the 5-5 1/2 mark?
Thanks!
everything is on point, good job!
Dust, when cleaning a interior dust is a big one what products help in preventing this along with cleaning
I bought a 2005 Rumble Bee from an old lady who used it as a dump/work truck. She had her little dogs in there every day for 20 years. Ive cleaned it so many times and im still getting more dog hair
Little bit of dawn dish detergent and water or laundry detergent and water. Make sure you do not use a lot of soap.... works on everything and just as good if not better then anything..
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
Stractching the hell outta the paint thought with that hose
Every time you say mini vans take longer... Yup I feel that. It's my primary vehicle.
I work by myself so how many guys are on your job with your timeframe you gave ? Also should I be washing/drying the door jams for interior only? This would be a important factor to note in your video ???Thanks for video
WOW dry ice machine for cleaning. We used that to clean packing machines at Kelloggs.
Love the video, I’m a car detailer from canada… where can I buy a case of that instant shine?
No one wants instant shine in there interior. Atleast anyone with class
Why do the dash first? Wouldn’t that make it so when you do the seats you end up spraying the cleaner everywhere when using the drill brush.
I'd also use a water based shine,silicone products attract dirt and dusty,and block water their on from getting air
GREAT content!!
You do alot of the things 99% of the other youtube detailer guys are warning about.
You spray your products in the car and you can just see clouds of everything getting where you dont want them. It just looked really sloppy tbh - i would never take my car to detail shop that was so worried about speed.
great video, thank you. I enjoy your channel, and hope to make it out to Chicago to visit /take a class at some point. on the dry ice machine: your link shows an $8,000. machine. this alone would more than double my total investment cost for my fledgling startup detailing business. help me understand what value a dry ice capability brings over just compressed air. when would you not use it and use compressed air instead? I am trying to understand its place in the detailer’s arsenal. thanks for replying.
My advice to anyone Clean the car car take the Top layer then have The
Professional cleaned every one is a winner
Don't forget the Nissan surcharge, that carpet is like velcro, it holds onto everything.
Nice job coach!
1st time on this channel. I like this guy. Straight to the point.
Great training!
Great video to learn from
working as a detailer for a car dealer rn but my dream is to build a company like yours
The center council, is that a Canadian thing?
I’ve never heard anyone call a console a counsel. But, this is one of the top detailers and detail shops around. I don’t care WHAT Jason calls anything or how he pronounces it.
If you have wine stains in your car, you might need to take a different class first…lol
Beautiful breaking it down bro
Thank you!
Man, thank you!
hey what conditioner do you use?
Being super efficient is a must! I will be honest though, this looks/seems like a rushed interior detail. I have been detailing for a while now and know that you can't fully achieve cleaning all the plastic/vinyl crevasses without a steam cleaner 80% of the time. The conditioners are sketchy, was not a fan of scrubbing that steering wheel super quick and not cleaning it evenly, are we shampooing all the carpets and seats? Or just getting the eye sores out of them? Are door jambs just en exterior detailing thing? Are we not cleaning the gas pedals, remove scuff marks from the plastics? Overall just don't see a very detailed, professional finish after this for most cars that need an interior detail. I will however try using that towel to clean windows, I usually use a window towel, but maybe that one will do a better job.
Great info thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great vid
Thanks, looks good
I have found that when clearing out interior personnel items (pockets/cup holders/door pockets) when bagged, to set item bags into a plastic tub/Lundy basket/etc and lay keys onto of bagged items. Vehicle will always leave with personal items back in vehicle. Just food for thought
Great tip!
If you would put down the windows I think is better cause you can clean the corner with tornador black

Well spoken.

It seems like he takes pride in his work. I’d bring my cars there if he had a place close to me.
That one wheel is gonna be the cleanest it'll ever be after this video
😂
Center conSOLE. not Council
Cleaning an interior can be done quickly, detailing it takes time. What the customer is willing to pay for depends on what I do.
when using conditioners, and cleaners, I get build up in tight places. Like cracks and crevices, around buttons, and it’s near impossible to wipe out with a rag. Can any one tell me what the easiest way to address this issue? I’m thinking about purchasing a compressor and using a blow out tool.
Vacuum
Then wipe
