Hey brother.. do you think a business that just does paint correction/polishing and wash and wax would be okay without interior detailing? Not going to lie.. not interested in interior detail at all.
@@justsomeguy538 in my experience, no. I don't think clients want to their own vacuuming as much as you don't want to either that's why they go to a detailer. No way they'll take it to you for Exterior then find another detailer who will do their interior. I'm a full time mobile detail and not one of my probably 80 or so clients would ever call me back if I didn't do their interior. My premium washes start at 100, and that's only after they've had me detail them first.
@@kirkwilson5900 thank you for the feedback.. I just sold a powder coating business and I’m looking to start my next adventure lol. I like the sounds of detailing, I was just more excited to learn paint correction.
@@justsomeguy538 right on. I do have friend here who specializes in paint corrections and ceramic coating but he also does interiors included. I do some of his maintenance washes cuz he's too busy doing 2500 and up details lol.
@@kirkwilson5900 as someone with experience, what should I start out at for a single stage correction? If you don’t mind me asking.
Been at this for six years… listen up…
The lower the price you charge, the more garbage your customers will be.
🔥
Facts💯
"You'll see that the kind of customers who really value their car are those that go for premium prices because they know the value that they will receive."
Good for you to understand who your target market is. Keep it up!
These prices are not bad at all, my prices go from $66 maintenance, 150 basic initial detail, 300 for heavy initial detail. Don't let the people bring your energy down, don't charge by the hour but charge for the quality of the work. If your work is quality and genuine, people are more than happy to work with you. Once again, don't let low frequency energy mess with you. High frequency work attracts high frequency customers.
Supremely truth!!!
Great advice man and I’d really like to ask you a couple of questions if you don’t mind
I’ve started to almost Completely step away from washes. From what I find people who want this cheap wash want more than what a drive through wash can offer but they don’t value the work that I will put in to for that more costly wash. There service for me has to be beneficial for my time. So now what I do is really only do full details and then I offer those clients maintenance details on a weekly or biweekly service.
This is exactly my bread and butter. I do these all day every day and I love it. I will detail a car, but I'd much rather do this for my repeat customers. I like to clean clean cars.
I literally had a lady turn me down because she thought my deluxe detail (middle range), set at $169, was too cheap! 😂 Crazy world ey
Yep! It happens
@@emmanuellerodriguez9449jaajajajajaajja
This video hold true for any industry. In my early 20s I worked for a high service oriented pest control company. We were more expensive than anyone, but our service was better than anyone. Just like you said a certain type of customer pays for that level of service.
You have to justify that expensive car wash like if I do your car the wash will last 6 months vs a regular car wash will be cheaper but will only last a month.
I am glad you provide all this detail information. We are about to open a detail business. One thing that WE have to take in consideration is the cost of leaving. I’m in the state of WA and trust me taxes, equipment etc etc it’s expensive!!! So thank you so much I am learning a lot. ❤
Great attitude. Stay focused.
As a side job detailer i cant understand how people pay so much to wash a toyota or a honda, like $100 a week or so, this is a genuine question why dont you wash your own car?
It’s the generation we live in. It’s more convenient for them to pay someone to do it than for them to do it. Saves them the stress. That’s how the whole world runs. You’d be surprised at some of the more ridiculous things people will pay for just because of convenience.
It is very time consuming and tiring. Most ppl don't have the discipline to do what we do and be so exact at it.
Makes sense we get it .customers sometimes don't but like you said 99% do get it we put more care in the overall detail
Yes. It’s expensive
But it’s fair. You pay for what u get and really want.
I hate spending $30 just for my car to still be dirty.
I would spend it
Good video and I tell myself that guy driving the Porsche is not charging $10 an hour for his labor.
fax im only doing basic washes for office buildings for 30-40 bucks because its in a garage the shade I'm not offering basic washes anymore.
I agree with you, you do More work on the vehicle, keep doing your thing brother 👍🏼👍🏼
That's top shelf game. Good looking out, my bro.
Get bags!
You have to wonder the legitimacy of a business that provides unrealistically cheap services. Do they pay tax? Are they insured? Do they pay themselves super annuation? Are their products beneficial or detrimental to your vehicle? These kind of businesses typically are not around long term and hurt the industry as a whole for those of us that treat this as an ever evolving art form.
Figure out your running costs.
Decide what you’d like to get paid per hour and where you’d like to target your services.
Provide the best service you can with in that frame work and be consistent.
Haha yeah that or they just don't really care or know what to do with their business 😅
@@DetailGroove truth. One guy around me charges 100 for an interior then boasts on his posts how it took eight hours. Fail.
Honestly I feel like this is a pretty solid price for the quality that you seem to offer. Will you do any car off the street with this or only maintenance customers? I would have a hard time doing a 50-100$ wash on a car that has no work into it at all. Also do you touch the interior at all?
I start off at 150-175 for interior or exterior
Quality vs Quantity. My truck dont leave the house for less than $100.
🙌🏽
I agree. It takes me 3 hours just outside detail on my personal truck when I wash it. If I’m going to take it to a professional I’ll pay the fee for the quality service.
It makes sense to do that daily maintenance $15 wash at the car wash then every 2 years bring it to you for that full detail.
Always learn with your videos
Thanks for this information!! 🎉🎉
Love the channel ✌️😊
what goes first ? spray wax or clay mitt treatment ?
Clay mitt bro use a lubricant with it and then wax
That’s like asking if you should put on conditioner before shampoo
@@HEMi1995 I can’t believe what I was asking 3 months ago, I was clueless
I think a lot of pricing has to do with the market you are in. Small town and big city prices are totally different. You can be the high value guy in a small town but you can only be so much higher than the other guy…
Ladies and guys find detailing to expensive but now they go to a barber get a hair cut and pay $60 and ladies pay for their nails $150 and they do t complain the best thing about this is if your going out nice and clean your vehicle should be the same if not your a pig
I haven't see a video with the good details of carwash value* great point is not the car it's the value* Facts !
How many guys work on the car on a premium wash ? And how long does it take you guys
A ceramic coat costs at least 100 dollars just to purchase. Nevermind applying it. 80$ for all of that would be crazy😂
doing it right detial groove keep it up, where do you get short tub for your Ego blower. Your fellow detailer Paul NC.
charge what its worth. that's fair and if the cars clean. charge less. that's what I do straight up say ..listen your vehicle is an utterly mess and will take 3 to 4 hours to clean. it's 35$ an hour for my services. that's 140$ after it's clean. if you call me back in 2 to 3 weeks it'll take me a little over an hour .. that's 50$ and ill have to do way less work. deal?
customer.." umm makes sense. ok fine deal. 3 weeks on the dot layer they call back. is it 50$?..
me yes. ..I just cleaned your car.. its looking great. " I'll be outta here in no time. thanks for understanding and listening to my advice. seeya next month.?
yep.
boom. that's how you do it
Is this just for an exterior wash? Still trying to figure out how to charge for my interior detailing and car wash
$80 for a car wash and they expect a ceramic coating 😭? bruh the good quality ceramic coatings are starting at that price for the product itself! Not even including labor and other products you’re using to get it to the state to be ceramic coated. People are crazy man 🤦🏻♂️
Cheap customers
Where are you based? Just wondering did I meet you in orlando yesterday? Maybe not
FACTS!
Any advise on who to use for making website for detail buisness?
The advantage customers can’t tell the difference between B quality and C quality….. this quality of ignorance a wonderful marketing opportunity….cheers
For the people who complain about the price. Let them detail their car how we do. lol that’s all i will say. Bro didn’t even mention the labor work. Especially detailing alone.
Goid video
You have to justify your car wash like a regular car wash is cheaper but it will only last 1 month like my car wash costs more but will last 6 months.
Hey bro! Great vid. Link to free vid course is not working. Thanks.
Fixed!
Hey bro. I tried again and it’s still redirecting me.
Tried again. Still no luck. Keeps redirecting me to your SEO course waitlist. Tried on all my mobile devices and laptop. Any suggestions? Thanks.
i charge $300 and it works
In a premium wash (basic wash) (50$) do you clean the seats?
it's only for the exterior. nothing is done to the interior
Those people that says 50 it better look brand new. Those are the cheap people that dont value nothing but trash lmao
NO WAY WOULD I PAY THAT
The people that complain, are the people who cant afford it. They think your prices should reflect their pockets. LOL. Whenever they asked, "Can you do it for less?" My response is, "Can you do your job for less?" If not, why would I? If they want low prices, either go to a tunnel car wash or DIY. Detailing is a labor intensive job, not a automatic. That's why they pay more. Tunnel washes are cheap, fast and low quality. Hand detailers (not all) are higher priced, slower and better quality. Remember!... You are cleaning their dirty, nasty a$$ car. Which they could've cleaned and maintained themselves. Cleaning your car is a necessity. Having someone else clean your car is a luxury. We don't cater to nonsense. They don't get to name their price here. If they think my prices are too expensive. On to the next one.
Thank you 🔥

120 for a nice ASS wash DOOR JAMS ID LIKE TO SEE SOME bmw smuck clean his own door jams until it get filthy lol 120 or do it yourself I’m with ya
Bro. The girls in bikinis are doing this for “donations” all summer. Your not in a bikini.
Only in America where everything is overpriced.
Premium car wash just like what he’s doing is only 15 dollars or less in other countries. They use mothers or meguiars car care. I mean, it’s not special, it’s generic but still though..
100 dollars for a carwash or premium carwash is too much. But wouldn’t blame him.
Labor and materials are expensive in america.
I get what you're saying but you can't compare countries when it comes to pricing. You're comparing applies to a wooden chair
@@DetailGroove that’s why I also said that I wouldn’t blame you because labor and materials are expensive in the US.
Like other countries uses the same brand, same quality, same amount, same item but different in pricing. Because America charge so much.
I don’t know why, they sell it cheaper in other countries but they charge it too much on their own land.
If someone is charging 15, they are nearly working for free. If you don’t value your time no one else will
@@pantac4493 It’s not in the US. so that 15 dollars that they charge I think is enough
15 is crazy...we have to pay duties on imported stuff. Like many of the comments state, I hardly do car washes per se. Stick to full details and maintenance. One man shop and if I gotta spend lotta time working let me make it worth it for me and the customer.
First to comment 😁
Ayoo!

If I live in a city that has hard water can I still use that water without out damaging the paint?
You can use that but it'll spot much easier. You can always just go get an rv water filter. That will help soften the water. They are like 30$. Just my 2 cents
@@mattmccauley5561 thank you
id look into going for a rinseless setup. yes on super dirty vehicles you need to rinse first but washing and drying per panel helps eliminate that quickly
