The fur-eel version 1 is the one that dosent last, maybe like 6-10 cars but the fureel pro 2 is improved and lasts way more, bought one last year and still running strong.
Perfect!! So glad to hear that!
Btw one of my favorite tools is the tornador with the water misting option. The water really helps clean between the crevices like a steamer but without the risk of damaging the interior with the heat. Its by far the best tool for those super dusty dirty interiors.
I have heard great things about it! I was torn between which Tornador to get first - the wet or the dry, and of course I got the dry after watching a few videos.
The Fur Eel pro 2 lasts way longer than the version 1. Also misting the carpet with a rinseless wash, or diluted fabric softner (I've also heard of P&S Paint Gloss) helps loosen the hair from the carpet and lubricates the removal tool to reduce wear and effort.
So good to hear that! I’d definitely give the Fur eel a go knowing that it lasts longer! The only down side of lubrication is that the Lilly brush loses all it’s gripping abilities once it gets wet, but I should definitely try some dryer sheets or something. Everyone says it makes such a big difference, I Just haven’t tried it yet!
01:50 Yep! I started using my leaf blower in a similar fashion. Works very well for a 1st pass in removing fur.
Personally, I use a Dyson V12 and the include pet hair removal corkscrew-tool. its sole design is that job and it works better then a lilly brush, shop vac, drill brush, or tornador.
I have found the best device for cleaning the hair out of my wife’s car to be the Uproot mini cleaner. That thing grabs so much hair and doesn’t damage the fabric of carpets at all. It has taken the chore out of removing dog hair and made it a joy to do!
I want to order one of those, I have heard great things, glad to hear it works great for you!!
I had a similar problem on a Tahoe. So I used the drill brush while my wife blew with the leaf blower. Works awesomely
There ya go! It’s tough to contain but two people and a leaf blower is definitely the way to go!!
I also use a drill brush. But I tilt it and let the brush tips lightly hit the surface at full speed. It works great.
another fire video! one of the few relatable real mobile detailers on YT. 🔥🔥
Thank you. I try to keep it real because, let’s be real, it’s not glamorous 😂
Get the analan brush it’ll make you want to throw away the Lilly brush. And instead of you using the flat drill brush get the yellow toilet bowl brush shaped one it will fling the hair out rather than it being pushed down
Really?! Looking it up now! I tried the toilet bowl one too…nothing was working with this upholstery. Thanks so much though!
You done a fabulous job Jess. Keep up the good work.
Thank yoU!
Great job! Your perseverance paid off.
Thankfully! 🙌🏻
Hello,
Great job.
Dog hair removal can be a pain at times.
As a fairly new detailer myself I’ve encountered some to be more challenging then others. I’ve tried to use different tools and methods that other detailers have recommended.
I would say the Fur-reel pro 2 is great, efficient & last longer.
Also some have recommended to use Paint gloss by P&S as it has anti static properties.
I can also recommend start by using just the glove 🧤 in your hand,
That has help me remove a good 50% of per hair in some vehicles.
Anyway, awesome content.
Great job once again.
Thank you so much! Agree, a ton of people recommend dryer sheets for the static as well. This was a weird one, typically the hair comes right out with some effort but this interior material was not letting it go. I had tried my glove but it wasn’t doing anything! It’s crazy how every detail is so different! Thanks for coming by :)
Great job! Try the Analon brush or the Fur-eel Pro2. I've also seen spraying a little glass cleaner can help loosen the hair.
I think someone on here mentioned using the Uproot clean tools. I can vouch for that. They are extremely effective at getting up deeply embedded fur. And it's just satisfying to use :)
I purchased one! Not going to lie, I use it weekly on my own carpets haha
Great video!
Thank you!
Do you watch the Detail Geek, he does a great job and lots of good tips on how to detail. Great job
I honestly haven’t watched any videos since I started detailing, but probably wouldn’t hurt to start watching more videos again!
I love that you give the details of your prices and the breakdown of what you made. $61.00/hr is pretty good rate
Thank you!
Hey Jess! Pro tip! If you can, visit the vehicle the night before, and spray down all fabrics and carpets with a mix of unscented fabric softener and distilled water diluted 10:1! This helps a lot with my pet hair removal services!
Also, I feel your pain, my rotator cuff along with some other muscles in my shoulder have been torn for 3 years now lmao.
Thank you so much for that tip!
Use the oval shape drill brush works like a champ !!!
THanks!! This video was from last year and I can’t believe I didn’t know about that brush last year lol It’s all I use now! IT’s the best!
I BELIEVE U GIRL
you need the cone drill brush for hair. god I feel for ya...dog hair is the worst depending on the type of material.
I had tried that one as well and it did nothing with this upholstery..thanks though 😃
@@DetailWithJess I had to go stiffer...I got the yellow and the green kind as well. One for every occasion 🤣
Dog hair seems like a nightmare, you did a great job, it looks 100% better. I think it’s amazing that you started this career with no experience. How did you do it? I recently retired and started detailing my own cars, I learned a lot about the how to’s and equipment from you tube.keep up the good work, I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks so much! I studied via FB Groups and CZcams for a good two months to learn the processes and tools and didn’t skimp on any tools! Other than that, it’s just attention to detail 😉 I appreciate the kind words though!
Tornadoes is amazing! I use one for my detailing garage. My air compressor is beefy, you need to make sure you have a high scfm @ 90 psi. My compressor is 5.5scfm @ 90
I definitely do not have a high scfm! But I figured that was the issue. I had used someone else’s once with 100 gallon tank….ooh boy was that amazing 😂
Amazing stuff for pet hair
Thank you!
I have it it works great👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I’ll be sure to get one!!
Another thing you could use is a pumice stone too to get the dog hair out and that inside looks good Jess
I always forget about the pumice, which is funny because it’s the ultimate go to in the horse world which I’m pretty familiar with!
@@DetailWithJess It was my go to in the Dealership world and I still use it
I know the feeling dog hair 😮 and also the rain when you're about to finish 🤬 no way I'm in Florida actually l used for The dog hair a laundry softener that helps too.
We have had the rainiest year ever here and I’m about over it haha But I know you feel me with all that FL summer rain! I’m definitely going to have to give some anti-cling a go! Thank you!
Great job Jess, get the fur-reel it's worth the time savings trust me, it will cut around 30% off easily
Thanks so much, I’ve watched a lot of your videos and they’ve been super helpful!
@@DetailWithJess thank you for support, we are always here to help the detailing community. Keep up the good work, you are doing fantastic 👏
Rubber brush or pumice stone and vacuum in one direction will save you hours and you're sanity.
For sure! That’s what I do now 🙌🏻
Theres a tornador with a vacumn attachment
I have that. As I mentioned in the video, it doesn’t work with my air compressor at the moment…bummer.
looking good , my wife has two boxer dogs really short dog hair hard as heck to remove.
It is so tough to get that short hair out! A seat cover is way cheaper than a 6 hour detail 😂
How true it is . What part of country you in.
@@DetailWithJess
Hey Mrs. Jess, What type and size Portable Air Compressor do you use. Thanks!!
This one is just a one gallon (or 1.5 gallon..I forget off the top of my head!) but it is from CaliforniaAir.
I saw some pet hair removal gloves on Amazon looked interesting.
Those could work, but I’m pretty sure my hands wouldn’t be able to move the next day if I only used gloves 🤪
@@DetailWithJess Never said just to use the gloves, the trick to pet hair is to have multiple pet hair removal tools
and then find what works on that day on that car with that hair.
The tornador needs at least 5 scfm, thats why the RIGID 5.1 scfm 4.5 gallon dual tank air compressor is the most popular with detailing. Youre probably aware but just in case, if you're planing on using the velocity vac with tornador your generator will need to be 4500 watt to power the vac and compressor at the same time.
Thank you for those specs!! I definitely assumed it was air compressor related and planned on upgrading my compressor.
Have you ever tried a pumice stone? It works really well imo!
That is my #1 tool now! Somehow I didn’t know of it back when I recorded this video!
Whatever you charged, it’s not enough. Dog hair is the worst. I have a corgi and it sheds all the dang time.
😂
I picked up this Pro tip from Joel and Sal. Their CZcams channel: JoelDetails. What you want todo is spray the dog hair with a glass cleaner. This removes the static which allows you to brush or scrap out with your Tully. It works like a charm👍. Again spray the areas where the hai is with you automotive glass cleaner 👍
Love JoelDetails. Awesome tip, thank you!
O YEAA
I will never understand how ppl can let their car look like this.
Did you change your prices? Or did you rebuild your packages?
My packages are still the same from when I last shared them on here. I did up my interior only details to $199 though which I don’t recall if I shared or not and I did start charging sales tax in addition where I used to include it.
Pumice Jess, pumice is your friend.
I don’t know why I forget such a simple tool, especially as a horse girl 🤦🏼♀️
Maybe try the steamer
The Lilly Brush doesn’t work at all once it gets wet so i try to avoid moisture but a bunch of people have suggested fabric softener which I’ll have to try next time one of these comes up!
There are easier ways to get rid of animal fur and hair: sticky roll for flat surfaces and (cheapest) office adhesive tape for tricky spots. Just stick and peel!
I wish it were that easy and if the hair was just sitting on the surface, that’d for sure work great, but most dog hair gets deeply embedded into the fibers of the upholstery and it will not come out with a perpendicular motion, you have to slide it out in the direction that it went in…much like a splinter in your hand. It has to come out in the direction it went in.
That drill brush attachment has completely wrecked the pile on that carpet, and I for one would not have paid for that valet. Yes the dog hairs are virtually all gone, but it needs a new carpet now 🤷♂️
Oorrrrr the pile on the carpet was destroyed from before the detail started, but hey, good thing it’s not your car 😘
Always wonder how detailers keep the doors open on a vehicle without the battery going dead from the courtesy lights being on.
Most interior lights shut off after a certain amount of time so long as you don’t keep opening and closing doors. If they do stay on, you just turn them off. I have never seen lights remain on in any of my details. Electric cars are a total pain in the a$$ though because anything you touch makes them turn on.
I’m very sure this owner tried vacuuming the dog hair out herself and found out fast that she needed a professional detailer to fix this problem.
Haha most likely!
i would put on a full suit on before you do any detail of dog hair in that suv. i would have charge a min $450.00
85% PERCENT OF CUSTOMERS WANT A REALLY GOOD JOB 100% BUT DONT WAIT TO PAY RIGHT 😂
Haha I don’t blame them though, they’re probably about to make it a mess again anyways!
You will need an 50 Litre air compressor for it to work properly
I know that now….bummer! But obviously makes sense!
$57 tip? Are you kidding me? for that amount of work the tip should have been at least $100. Wish you were local to me. I'd gladly pay that $311.50 for the detail plus $100 tip just to not have to deal with cleaning the dog hair myself. Unfortunately I'm tackling that job this weekend on my own.
Haha thank you!
Im always amazed the level of filth some people are willing to driving around in betore getting a detail.
I mean, I couldn’t do it but 🤷🏼♀️
Blowing the hair makes more work. Instead of blowing u shld be using the vacuum. Ijs
Good job,dog hair is hard to remove.
Thank you
i would have took out all the seats to give it a better detail
That would be optimum for sure, but I don’t really want the liability of removing seats and my clients are aware of that
I've been designing and prototyping a tool that will make dog hair removal a breeze. I've tested it personally with great results but am looking for more opinions from pro detailers. Would you be interested in testing it out? No video review / sponsorship needed! Just want honest feedback.
You’re welcome to message me some info at InfoAtTeam510@gmail.com if you’d like!
PET HAIR IS THE HARDEST DETAIL HUN I HOPE U ARE CHARGING THEM A GOOD PRICE 😳 SOME CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT IT
It sure is! I shared how much i charged at the end of the video 😉
Need to hit it with a steamer after you get the bulk of it off
Thanks! I have definitely learned a lot since I posted this video so it’d probably look like a totally different detail today!
I deal with dog hair daily the best thing ive found is a pet rock works great
That was pretty much my husband’s suggestion haha
@@DetailWithJess working for a dealership and doing all the trade in and customer vehicle I say the same thing alot haha hopefully get started on my own next year...
I’m surprise you don’t wear a face mask 😷
I was wearing one 😉
Terrible result! Sorry to let you know.😕
haaaa - definitely not offended. I’m not sure if you watched the entire video?…the client did not want to pay for more than an hour and a half of dog hair removal and extraction was not part of their package.
@@DetailWithJess Watched the entire video: that text message is you wrote the customer is telling, its just another way of saying I CANT DO IT BETTER! Are you a Detailer? If the next person does a better job, you lose a customer, you lose referals, you lose business, i the long run you lose your business...Sorry!
Now something helpful:
1. Ditch your compressor if you wanna work sufficiently with air (Tornadors) tools. The magic numbers for a compressor are 78psi @ 6.2cfm -vs- your compressor 78psi @ 2.5cfm, only has 40% of the necessary power!
2. Ditch your vacuum, suction power is critical for detailing! The magic number for a vacuum is 150cfm -vs- your vacuum 110cfm, only has 73% of the necessary power!
3. If 40% of people in the comment section say buy the Fureel, then thats when you should listen. You are not only removing pethair in the process, you are vacuuming, time savings on that tool alone 70%! Paired with the right Vaccume🤯. The trick is to buy the rubber head attachments in a pack of 6, price goes down to 6,50$ per head.
With the right tools you are able to remove 100% of the pet hair in about 30-45min!
Alot of vital information above, use it wisely............................Your welcome.
