Got a question about our pricing, products, or process? Leave a comment!
Do you charge extra to dress interior?
Question: wha iron remover did you use that you said in your video that it smells bubbleish? TIA
Hey man I want to try wash the engine should I protect the alternator or no what should I do?
@@dasautodetailing We do not. It's included in the service (but we always ask if they want it)
@@Colombiandaddy56 Its the Adams Iron Remover
I feel You when you said “out of 200 businesses cards you pass out only 1 or 2 people call you back for a job”
Top of the line job... I've been following you for years now and you guys don't disappoint...keep up the hard work my detailing brothers!!
Thanks a bunch, Juan 🙌🏽
“When I come here” “pause” 😂😂😂
pauusee!
Have you tried putting a dry air line filter on the compressor? I got a $20 one at home depot and now my air tools don't "sneeze" anymore and it saves the inside of the air tools. My oldest Tornador had the trigger spring rust and break
this is probably the best vid ive seen in this channel lol comedy and Informative 😂
Ayee- thanks for that! These are fun to make 🙌🏽
I just downloaded your program, will read through it this weekend
Assuming you start at 9, the 2 of you had 10 man hours in that car! Pricing is on point for that amount of time, but holy crap overkill on so much of that vehicle! I counted at least 3 processes on the carpet, finishing with an extraction that didn't look necessary at all. All that power washing and spraying of the door jams over and over, even after interior processes were complete (requiring clean up of overspray), and a lot of stuff that just looked like a big show.
These high end cars are usually immaculate, almost a maintenance clean. For the size, I would be in that for 6 hours tops, even with condition issues. If I had help, we'd be at the next job by noon, maybe 400 on that and another one like it and home by 4. You'd be working till 8pm to get another one in at that rate. We make roughly the same money, but more efficiently and at a better value for the customer.
Haha I see your point and get what you mean but you're making a ton of assumptions😅
@@DetailGroove This isn't the ideal way to have a conversation, but yes, I have to make a lot of assumptions, because it's clear that the video doesn't tell the whole story. The title alone suggests that we can understand your operation and how it generates revenue, but for someone like me, who operates a shop and mobile detailing business, there are a LOT of holes in the story. I'm really not trying to be adversarial, I like and respect you as a long time follower, but I also watch these videos to understand how I can make my business better, and I just can't add it up. Just my perspective anyway, keep on keepin' on, you're clearly doing what it takes to succeed 😉
@@mysterywrecked No worries 🤘🏽. I get comments all the time of "Bro you didn't show the XYZ step. Did you even do it?!". I have long ago got rid of trying to show every single step in the process. There's 2 hours of content we shot and I cut it all the way down to 13 mins. Running a detailing business and then being a content creator are two different things entirely
10:18 Why not invest in a plastic pop up table? When I am doing floormats I just throw them one by one on the table and when its time to pressure wash them I wash them all at once. Saves them from the dirty ground, and bending down to clean them on the floor.
We used to do that in my older videos. We just remove that step and go straight to the shampoo process haha
You guys did a great job
The price of exclusivity 💯💪🏾🔥
First time viewing I want a t like u have on lol… i wish I could get the prices u get in north ga
This is a frequent "set" location of yours. thanks for the vids!
What were you using to polish/apply wax. What cordless polisher was that?
What kind of iron remover were you using? All the ones I've used smelled horrible
What solution are you using when extracting the floor mats ?
That’s crazy you get 80 bucks for an engine. I could never land that. I normally kick it in as an extra for the right customer.
We just got to keep grinding and growing bro !
Just curious- why do you think you can't do that? Because there's detailers in my area that say the same thing
@@DetailGroove I can only speak from my experience out here on the east coast, hell people don't like paying $180 for a full detail shoot bro I'm telling you that you are lucky teal talk. Plus alot of cities can't afford the cost of getting their car's detailed they mite like the idea of wanting to get it done 1 day but they can't financially afford it. The bigger states such as my hometown NY, FL, TX, CA oh yeah there are more cities that can afford them prices. People love my work but to find them higher end that can afford getting there car done on a regular bases is not easy & the percentage of them people are slim as well. Not saying they ain't out in every state but you mite have to travel an hour away to get these customers.
@@lamarsdetailing7744it’s all about selling your process of detail and how it will increase the value of their vehicle. The price of used vehicles are through the roof now if they sell or trade in their vehicle they will easily get that money back.
@@lamarsdetailing7744Try to find those big good looking houses close by you. And also if you do have to travel an hour or two then so be it because at the end of the day you're making more money in a day than an avg person would. It's been a year now since you commented and I'd love to hear about your success!
What chemical and scrub were you using for the leather seats? Also thanks for all the info and amazing advice man thank you from Dallas Tx!
Most likely super clean diluted 10:1
I could be wrong
Great video
What is the blower you use to dry engine?
I'm stared with my own business detailing I never wash engine what did you prectec the engine for the water and tips I can learn do it
Man that sweet and spicy tuna is so fire. Put that ish on some wheat thins
It’s amazing to watch them work on a super dirty car and when they finish it looks new again.
Question is there a
More efficient way to clean the floor Matt’s then to just place them on the side walk and clean them? Wouldn’t they get dirt ?
What is that attachment to the airblower called?
Great video as always 👍
Thanks Randy!
High quality 👍🏽👍🏽
Am i the only one who noticed the foam mats on the front window as they did the front of the car? Niceee
Links to brushes?
Hope I can reach this price points some day
Do you have a video podcast option on iTunes? If so I cannot find it! 🤙
Ahh dang it, we don't! The video podcasts are all up on UA-cam. Maybe one day we can get on the iTunes/Spotify video podcasts but I think that's by invite only right now
Oscar you need to get your employee on your workout plan. That’s why you are faster than him 🤣
Haha they're getting there 😅
Full detail in my area In south rural Georgia is 100-150 tops lol
hey what was the final dressing you applied to the engine bay?
You can apply carpro pearl 1:3 to get even better results
It looks like there was moisture being blown out of the air gun from the compressor? I’ve had the same issue at times. What causes this? Too much oil in the motor? Also the only time I complain about being uncomfortable is when I have a detail in 100+ temps 😆
I'm assuming you already purge the tankafter use. It's a good idea to purge it, turn on the compressor then purge it again to get residual moisture from the air. You can't avoid moisture buildup because it's from the actual air. Hope this helps
Its because compressors suck water out of the air and its in the compressor. I just got a $20 Husky air line dryer filter you put at the end of the air line that connects to the compressor and that solves the problem. No more "Sneezing"
How many hours for this job?
What parts of the interior do you use a steam cleaner on? I want to start an interior detailing business but I want to iron out the process to be as efficient as possible. I use a steam cleaner on the doors, air vents, upholstery, carpet if needed, and a little on the cracks of the steering wheel. However, the dye of window buttons started to fade after I cleaned my car (I used the mcculloch steamer and 10:1 mcguiars APC. So Im thinking the steamer caused the dye to fade).
Those buttons and the wiper/light control sticks are super sensitive, do you own a Dodge by chance ?
@@MasrSR no, it happened on my Nissan Altima (2005) and MDX (2005). There also kept outside so it could also be sun damaged and the cleaner just strips it off easier
@@excalibercuberdavid4681 It was probably caked in dirt from fingers that you hadn’t noticed how bad the damage is.
Was that a polish at the end I’m assuming? Or was he just applying a wax? Didn’t really seem like a thorough polish but I mean $600 interior exterior with polish wouldn’t make sense I suppose. Let me know
What kind of iron remove did you use Oscar? Great video budd 🤜🏼🤛🏼
It's Iron Remover from Adams Polishes!
@@DetailGroove thank you brother
Question should engine bay detailing come with the basic package of a detail
My opinion definitely detail, I don't do engine bay cleaning otherwise than in a full detail package. I've come across a lot of people who don't like paying for stuff that's separated smh 🤦🤦.
Do you guys dress every interior ? How long does it take ?
It depends if it needs it or if the customer wants it. Probably 10 minutes
What iron remover are you using? Mine smells horrible!
This one is from Adams Polishes. Not sure if I'm mistaken but this is the first time it smells like that.. So not sure 😐
I can confirm that walk up business card requests don't have as much success as you would think. I wonder why?
Because they immediately throw the card away. They are usually broke people who may be casually interested in the moment but will never take action. It’s the same in my industry.
@@ShaneRM878 what’s your industry?
Go to your local car shows, like cars and coffee and introduce your business. People who care enough to bring their cars to shows usually care enough to keep them clean
You mean to tell me it’s cooler in October than August?!! Hahaha jk
😅😅😅
How did u come up with that price for the interior
Pricing is always based on the size, condition, and needs of the customer
Where are you located
With the price of these vehicles today averaging $50,000-$150,000 and used car prices going through the roof. These cars now are investments and this detail alone more than likely increased its value by $1,000-$3,000. This customer will make back the money he spent on this detail job.
Did you clayed it?
Yep!
Can you do a black car ?
People always want slow down the hustle. Get the hard and keep it moving
when people complain that detail is uncomfortable to do then thats when they need to call and pay a professional to so the job
$600.00 detail on a car that still has temp plates is crazy 😂
Yeah he just purchased the vehicle. He wanted a new-car-feel
Flawless XPress the car was a easy slam dunk. On the east coast Pa you would never and I mean NEVER get $600 for a FULL DETAIL, unless it was a Semi Truck and Trailer. Detailing is a young man's trade, I did it for 15 years once I turned 45 I gave it up full time.
Do you ask the customer if it’s ok to put the floor mats on the seat? You are not putting them on my seats. I don’t care if they’re clean or not. I’m crazy OCD and that would kill me. Yes I’m crazy. I know. I mean I would put them in a clear bag and lean them against the back seat maybe
Those floor mats are actually for the seats haha. Customer has them there to protect from the baby car seats
@@DetailGroove gotcha. Keep up the great work man!
Hey Oscar! Have you gotten accredited with the BBB? If so or even if not could you maybe make a video on it?
Need nice canopy. Polish the car in the sun
We have one in the van actually. We just didn't bring it out on this one
GX460 gang.
Did you ever have issues with too much water in the engine compartment to where the vehicle wouldn't run/start after detailing? in general, how do you deal with any customer issues post-detailing? (i.e.- "You damaged my car...")
Not if you just use common sense! Vehicle by vehicle basis as well. Most cars 2000-present are covered in plastic meaning water is pretty much ok, doesn’t mean you should spray a pressure water as hard you can but generally a rinse down is not gonna cause any damage. In any case I’ll usually cover the electrical components to ensure nothing is damaged . I’ve done well over 100 engine details and haven’t one customer call and say I messed it up
@@butskiiueepp1625 Thanks for the reply.
As the Manager of a carwash/detail dept at a multi-line car detail dept. for over 10 years, I 've dealt with more than a few 2000+ MY vehicles that have died in the wet bay after one of my detailers cleaned the engine compartment.
After a few that we "owned", we told the Sales Dept. that we aren't spraying any engines; just a wipe down...
Obviously, you can't tell a retail customer that so I was wondering how he handles it.
@@deanshimabukuro8464 you have the experience and knowledge then bro. Chances are the detailers aren’t doing it correctly which is scary considering how quick customers can complain and cause more problems. I personally know detailers that do exactly what you suggested which is just a wipe down. Not a bad method just not as thorough as a rinse down! Whatever gets the job done tho at the end of the day 🙏🏾
320 for just interior? i hope its spotless
thats full car detail price in my area.
The interior wasn't that bad to begin with. But the customer said "I want it completely cleaned". Hence we went through the whole process
@@damascusdoshu3104 same here. Wild haha.
Didn't this guy work for Chemical Guys???
haha noooo
@@DetailGroove we'll definitely look like Pedro from " Napoleon Dynamite "lol
Lex scared me
haha why
It’s better to stay in school kids.
WHATS WRONG IS THAT THEY CANNOT DO IT MAINTAIN BRO 😢😮😂
THE DETAILING GAME IS NOT 4 THEM .
$CHING CHINGGG$$😵😵
