What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen cleaning a clients car?? 😅
Bloody tampon from one of our lift client (Gross)
You do absolutely great work!!! I would really consider in the near future to start taking a deposit so that way if a customer cancels you don't take a total loss because detailing is hard work and takes true dedication to take on some of the monster jobs that it throws at you sometimes. You guys are awesome and a deposit is definitely worth considering
I admire your hustle. Ive seen dead rats under the hood. Nothing is worst when the customer grabs a seat and just chills there lookin at you while you work.
Ive seen a loaded condom and a straw loaded with cocaine. The powerful shopvac gsv I had at the time was hell though. I tell people to get their valuables out of the car because I got some powerful vacs and I go crazy when I start sucking up stuff.
You need to have customer agreement forms. and forms before you even touch the car. Stating that they will have to pay and forms that you look over the car and have them sign before so that way if something is broken. they can't say you broke it
Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use czcams.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.
Before we start any detail, we always have the client come out so we can discuss their concerns about their car then write up an invoice and have then sign it so we know we’re on the same page about what’s being done and the price. If they can’t be present, you send them a picture of the invoice and have them respond “agreed” in text before you get started. Also if they do run off after the detail, you have the signed invoice as proof for them agreeing to your service/price. Never had an issue with any clients doing it this way. Hope this helps
Love it thanks will use this
I’m not sure an “agreed” over text would hold up in court
@@startingtech3900 better than nothing
@@startingtech3900 Actually it will. That's a written contract.
@@floricaire no text messages or emails do not hold up In court. You need a real service contact
I would have charged $400 . I get that now for far less messy interiors. And I’m in Anaheim CA. They have to understand that it’s a big undertaking to clean that type of mess which they caused. Time is money 💰. You guys did great work for the cards you where dealt.
Thanks brotha
💯💯💯 Facts
Yall charge more when the car is too dirty but yall dont wanna charge less when the car is too clean right
@@jasonpuente6754 Then don’t wash it or wash it yourself
@@jasonpuente6754 sorry it didn't makes sense why would anyone calling for a detailing wash service if their car is clean enough ? If they really want to cut cost or save money then why not just buy a $100 pressure washer and snow cannon so they can just maintain rinse the car each time before it got too dirty ?.
Paint Corrections + Ceramic Coatings are the big money makers!! Couldn't imagine doing Ceramic Pro outside though, it's already enough of a pain in a shop lol
I would agree 100% I had my truck detailed and ceramic coated looked so beautiful.. two days later totaled it on a deer.. looked danm good tho when the adjuster came got four grand over book value .
Shhhhhhh
Shiiit I could only imagine doing a ceramic coating outside .... Some of these detail sprays are annoying in the sun ...
$1800 a car :) love it
I know how you feel about CP being a pain to install, which is why I had to let go of CP and find another certified coating company that works better indoor and out!
Slow that extractor down so that it can do what it's supposed to do. You are going back and forth too quick. That forward movement only pushes that grime deeper into the carpets. Only backwards strokes are needed my man.
I now realize my prices are far too low, but I'm just starting out and doing mostly basic details. Love working for myself though and I usually get a fat tip and family and friend recommendations which is always welcomed. Nice work brother
I own my family's business and my dad always used to say set the prices high enough that the customer says “ugh!!!...My wallet... that hurts! Okay here's the money” high enough that it hurts but they still pass over the Dough! 😄 hahaha that's when you know the price was right.
I think I’m almost there brother thanks 🙏🏾
Great work on the detail man! I would've charged around the same price, $350-$400 in my area
Always amazed at the motivation and attitude you have, it really is inspiring. Cannot believe the state of the interiors you clean, hats off to ya, but i'd be cleaning that with fire. You guys are hardcore, hustling and grinding in the heat all day. BIG RESPECT. keep it up and all the best. you have support all the way from the UK.
keep it up brotha, glad to see another detailer hustlin!
I’m happy to see you working through this! Only YOU can know the true value of your time…don’t let the trolls dictate. You’re doing great man 🔥🔥🔥
Respect king. your energy and hustle are contagious
This is what I like watching for inspiration. Small businesses growing and progressing. Good content, cheers from South Africa bro.
Always tell them price up front before any work is done, get it in writing so if you do need some evidence, you got it! Just protects yourself, even better if you have it in writing if they've agreed to the price before hand.
Thank you for making these videos man! I just spent five hours on a full detail with extraction and clay bar but only made $210. Your videos are teaching me to charge more and I like the little tips here and there. Great content!!
210 is decent dude
If you just started that’s damn good
That should be atleast 400$
That's decent
Was the interior of the car really dirty?
I hear you on the detail. Getting every little stain out! Man them little stains be on mind even when I leave the job.
Nice job! You sir are a craftsman, not many like you left. Very honest and professional.
Your a good man keeping honest prices, even tho you think sometimes you would have charged more, you keep it honest and make it happen 👍
I started my detailing business out of my parents garage in the east bay- Walnut Creek area. I’ve since moved on to a shop and don’t really see many cars in this state these days but even out of the business in the garage I would have said $500 easy, if not more. Two guys, in the CA heat, and that car is absolutely trashed. You guys are super reasonable for the time and work you put in. You provide a good value for people which is no doubt why you are so busy. Also- don’t sell yourself short. Any service that has paint correction in the title should be starting absolute minimum $1,000 in NorCal, I wont even consider taking on a project like that for less than $2,000. If you want training, hit up Keith’s Touch, or Shine Supply. But Keith Will teach you more intricate work, Jeremy mainly teaches the framework which you already know most of as a working detailer.
Good job patience is what really pays! We sometimes take for granted the possibilities that lie ahead and the current lessons learned. So Bro just keep moving and GOD has a plan good stuff and stay lifted.
I just came across your videos on here and I’m also in the Sacramento area trying to start a detailing business. Keep it up bro! Hometown love! 💯💯
This is my 5th year detailing, and now being my second year offering paint correction, you definitely have the skill to start to offer that service in your business!!, look into the torq 10FX polisher, it’s easy to learn and progress on 😀 keep up the work I love the channel
Damn man the energy w you guys is crazy I'd love a job like that
God bless you man I just notice you list all your equipment just in case someone wants to start a detailing business.
Hunter you're the best detailer on CZcams because you're not afraid to talk about prices
DAMN baby! You guys are the Clean Beasts! Completely new vehicle
Great Advice bro!! Stay firm on price and always be ready to move on.
You should do a video and recommendations for mobile detailing. Like what to wear, shoes, hats. And tips for getting business and how to talk to customers. Love the work Wayne! Detail on homie 🙏🏽
I would have charged 500$. But taking into account that she was super nice and gave you cookies its hard to tell. Really nice woman. Good work Wayne!
I use to clean carpets in houses and would run into brown stains all the time that wouldn’t come out right after cleaning. U can use a peroxide based cleaner such as proxy spray and walk away or any industrial peroxide base cleaner and in most cases will remove brown stains or lighten them up. I use a lot of enzyme based cleaners since majority of the stains in cars are organic.
350 was a good price I'm glad they went for it!
Highly recommend the torq10fx for a polished to start out with! Super easy to use, lightweight and affordable
God bless you Brother, you are going to be very successful. You do really good work. It will all pay off soon enough.
Love your stuff! Being a business owner I would suggest creating a contract within the walk Around sheet that client would sign off both the damages and defects of the car and the price after doing the initial walk around so that way its on paper.
I'm going to drive to Sacramento to get mine detailed.. great work.. just subbed👍
Yes Always tell the customers How much you are going to charge them so they will know and have the cash ready for you. ☺
Definitely inspirational, keep up the great work 💪
Paint correction is great money! Find what products work for you and your volume. If you’re pressed for time, there’s awesome ONE-STEP options out there that will come out great. New subscriber, love the real ass videos! Keep working at your dream.
Another Sacramento detailer lets go!!
I love the channel! Great job man. I do have an idea for you though. In your app or someplace have people send you pictures of the car. Inside and out. This can help you quote a bit better before you get there, and also plan ahead.
I have a shop up here in Canada and i've detailed cars like that! I normally charge a bit higher than the price you quoted. The most I got for a nasty interior detail was $800 CAD!
I work at a collision repair body shop in the paint department. I sand down dirt nibs with 1500, 3000 on a DA,( 5000 if it's a darker color) and then cut and buf. It's not hard. But there a few tips and tricks that's good to know before doing it. Black paint is a nightmare. I dig your videos man you are a hard worker
In handyman and construction I use jobber / I send the invoice ahead with 50% deposit . Then soon as I’m done balance.
If you don’t have an agreement on funds before hand - just cut your loss and don’t make that mistake again
At least it was not open 🤣🤣🤣 , keep it up love your vidéos
hunters a g mad respect this aint easy i wanna start but always have second thoughts idk man
Old detail trick is to put vacuum or brush lines in the carpet after shampooing, it help distracts from stains that would not come out
Thanks I was wondering how that’s done
Can we get a video on the products you use? The carpet came out insanely clean, we need some game man.
Y'all definitely did the damn thing big fax 👏 🙌 👌
Thanks brotha
Fo sho
When I seen that Quick Quack wrapper in their car I knew you brothers were based out of Sacramento. 👍👍👍👍
Try using shout advance set in stain(it’s a gel) and laundry product, but this product has never failed me from removing tough stains on car seats and carpet.
This I usually charge by the hour about $60 an hour as I work alone and dont have any employees. Not sure how you base your pricing. But I do it off of a price per hour.
Wow I just noticed I wasn't subscribed man that's my bad. Been watching for a month or so now.
The videos are good man.
I know thats that boy reyes behind the camera🔥
😆
Dont waste your money on any paint correction classes. Just go out to the junk yard and find a black painted door or hood and practice on that. Save your money. It's easier than you think. Also, I wouldn't even have done that vehicle. I would of been around $500-$600 for it especially if I had to cancel/reschedule the next appointment.
Thank for the advice! Speaking facts
@thelastm A lot of people tend to over think it. Find the right pad/compound for the paint your working with (all vehicles are different) tape the edges and rubber trim and just go. Comes down to pressure and speed after that. I have been paint correcting for 15+ years. I'm not saying I know it all either. Just people like to overthink it when it's way 0easier than they think.
I started practicing just hopped on dads 98 black blazer using griots g9 buffer their yellow buffing pad with their complete compound and finish with their red waxing pad with their one step sealant turned out like glass didnt burn through looks awesome definitely took a minute to get the right rhythm but after that its just time and concentration
Also I started out at lower speeds until I felt more comfortable
I am a novice. I prefer the g15 or 21. That hi-buff polisher is hell though.
I know of barbers that make clients pay half up front and the other half at the end of the haircut so possibly you can have the client pay half of the detail before the detail and the other half at the end
Gets a terms and conditions form brothera.
Thanks I’ll look into it
Here in fresno california i do a complete detail were talking about complete interior paint correction n wax and dressing tires and plastics for $250 and big cars like vans or suburbans for $350
I don't care what small business you run, Price must be discussed before hand! A written estimate/invoice with the customer signature is key before the work starts! Everybody makes this mistake starting out, the smart ones do not make that mistake again! Good luck! Loving the content! You're great on camera!
Good for you. Charge is appropriate.
I feel like in my area everyone competes against each other and they always low ball one another. Personally I would about 250 for an interior like that but I feel like other detailers in my area would go as low as 150-100$ for that. It’s a shame but I justify my pricing with the quality my partner and I do and the great products we use as well.
It is a shame that a lot of detailers low ball each other with pricing. There is always going to be someone cheaper and willing to do more services. I just wish as a community we had some set prices. Kind of like barbers.
The camera man is hella funny he said "it's gunna be ur first today?" when he asked if you ever been ghosted lol 😂
Nice work, its definitely hard work to, that's why I pay to have my vehicles done, I just get the basic vac,wash, dry, arm, I pay 120, for both my car and truck.
Have you ever thought about creating a check list where the customer checks the service they want and have to sign at the bottom of it? I think it would work. Apart from what they booked online
Hey hunter! Try forex spot carpet remover! It might help with some stains when spot treating! All love brotha
Raj Vitela try window cleaner on carpet stains it work amazing.
The dudes reaction after he said they could do it got me laughin hard. I know that feeling
Bro auto zone sells carpet spray paint for those little touch ups so it well make those yellow light spots ✌💯👍
YOoo Bro!!! inspiring me to get back at my detail game!! im in North San Diego and got my set up together but been ubering but it is time to come back to the wash game !!! keep posting bro!!! and btw I hear Chemical Guys offer training in LA not sure bout Sacramento or any other place near you or me.
Also signing contracts could double as the receipt for repeat customers…. I had a client flake on a event I dj’ed and from that event on everyone except close family signs contracts
I use quick books for my business
You can email the client the invoice and they can pay through that there is a little fee plus a monthly charge of 12.99 tho but still looks more professional and less hassle for you
Hunter I usually charge 500 to 600 if not keep it moving if customer trys to get it cheaper that my final price its the time you put into it as always be safe God bless William from extreme optimum auto detailing pr
You brutha's are very skillful.
To get those hard stains out like that on the carpet and mats, I gut out the seats, center concel and take the carpet out of the car and soak and scrub it with super clean, then blow it off with the pressure washer It takes around 24 hours for it to dry especially if it has alot of padding under. it's worth it though. You can't beat the results. I do seats like that too seats take a little longer to dry. Especially if you put everything back inside to dry. I'm in Colorado so it drys pretty quick. If your in a dry climate it works great 👍
Coming from another mobile detailer, battery powered tools are everything and DeWalt has a great selection
I learned paint correction in my garage by myself. Easy stuff. Just make sure you find a grip for the polisher that keeps it flat. Make sure it stays flat. Dont wanna scratch the car. And watch for edges and slowly move over them with a motion that wont damage paint. Just pretty much buy a hood of a car. Or practice on your personal vehicle
That is one of the most truthful answers!!!! That’s how I learned. Went to a junk yard bought a hood off a car, taped it into sections and taught myself. Although, training classes and more training are always best.
@@jamescmartinjr7249 great minds think alike. I got free polishing classes at my local detail garage grand opening. So I am gonna use them even tho I do a good job already. Always room for improvement
I've been detailing for 20 years the craziest thing i found was a butt plug under a seat😬😂
Awww naw that’s an extra hazardous pay lo l
I don't really judge people for their kinks. I just go in and do the job. But that mold and mildew is hell to get out of a carpet.
@@areasonablethought610 how did you get it out?
@@itsandrew8758 spray nine. Plus I used a mold and mildew remover. I had to go over it twice. You can find spray nine in Walmart or most car parts stores.
@@areasonablethought610 thanks for reply! Did use with drill brush, extractor and steamer?
Your partner was right, $400 for just an interior like that here in Portland/Vancouver Metro. I used to “negotiate” or second guess my prices, but when cars are that pad the owners know they neglected it… easier to set the price commensurate to the neglect, or walk. The way I look at it, easier to do 2 average condition interiors for 200 each that fight unknown stains, have to explain why you could not get them all up, etc., etc. Too many good clients to fight the bad ones over nickels and dimes. In the end, this one worked out, but that would have been an easy explanation to get $400. Love the content, you do great work, don’t sell it short.
I gotta put you up on game on what I use for my carpet cleaning...
I’m all ears 👂🏾
As a prespray I use Saigers Code Red. I use it on pretty much everything. When it's excessively dirty, I add Saigers Tsunami to it. As my rinse, I use Chemspec Formula 90. The rinse is what you would put in your extractor tank. The prespray needs to go in a pump sprayer. When I was doing cars, I would use a white or yellow drill brush.

You can see in the video what it does. I only clean house carpeting now, but same process for cars.
I stopped telling people what I use on my channel cause competitors be watching lol. They trying to figure out how I clean so good 😂
I agree with Hunter that we doubt our selfs and low ball our own prices
I agree. Start high and you can go lower if needed.
I don't do detialing anymore, but when I did, my process for setting prices was in this order ideally:
customer reaches out to me
they give me a brief explanation of what they want, condition of the car, type, etc.
I get them to send over photos to my business number of current condition, then I build out my invoice using several templates because it was fairly standardized
They agree to it or not, if they did, 50% down deposit via paypal, card, or cash (cheaper to avoid transaction fees) or sometimes they pay in full beforehand.
I show up on agreed appointment, do the work, then either take pics or have them inspect physically and I do a brief walkthrough on everything I did as well as point out "troubled" spots that I managed to improve for them. It really solidifies the notion that you do quality work and you care about the client's vehicle.
Good job!
The best dual action polisher is a hi-buff.
If they don't pay after a certain time sell it off to collections btw good work! Where you from man? Ill.have to come where your at to get a detail lol
Ask for pictures of the car prior to booking. Any bookings involving soiled upholstery where I'll need to shampoo and extract, I offer different tiers based on work time. So if customer states they only want a basic shampoo and extraction, only 1 hour will be spent on their upholsteries. Based on pictures I'll tell them what package they'll need so there's no surprises on costs and I can manage bookings easier.
Back in the 1980's my brother & I had a detail business here in Tucson,Az. SS AUTO DETAIL..we weren't mobile back then..Our WORST customers were our own family..we stopped doing detail in 1995..
I would give you a 2-3 days of training for free man. Love the passion that detailers have
That would be a blessing! Where are you located?
@@HuntersMobileDetailing were located in Michigan! How far away is this from you?
and that why i would carry some carpet paint if you had some grey paint you could hit those stubborn spots after your done if the owner agrees and it would look like new!
Reyes the Entrepreneur I hear you bro
I always take the keys out the ignition and hand them over when they pay up
For This detail, $500 Minimum it's alot of work also. When you doubt your self on pricing that's when transitioning to the next level happens. I'll explain more on IG. (NEVER WORRY ABOUT NO ONE ELSE'S POCKETS BUT YOUR OWN).
Heard on a detail pod cast “get a security deposit” for every job
$180-230 for a Sedan in average condition. But yeah $350 is fine for this level of work needed, your pricing is valid! Keep up the good work! For paint correction just go out and mess with your vehicles and experiment if not buy a junk yard panel and see your limits.
Money is due apon arrival before work begins, the only time I don't is when I do huge pressure washing jobs for lik 5k, I have them pay me 50 percent of front and the other half after completion
Oh yea I’ve had a situation happen and a guy didn’t wanna pay. And kept waiting and kept pressuring him. Remember you always have their address to approach them directly. Needless to say finally got paid.
I’m in Queens NY.
All bookings are a 30% non refundable deposit from starting price, based on size of the vehicle. All clients are aware that the price will vary due to condition. Clients are able to reschedule once if they let me know in a 12hrs window advance from their scheduled time. When the weather is bad then that’s the exception. If we had to reschedule 3x, I usually offer them the refund unless they want to continue. Most of the time, they continue.
My starting price is not the lowest or highest. The interior shampoo starts at $489.99. Been doing this since 2009, there’s nothing like Flex Bio( carpet solution ) & Flex Ice( in the water extractor ); and it’s cost efficient.
Outside of that, I have three paint enhancements tiers.
1st Tier is Quick polish, I use a AIO like Rupes Uno or 3D Speed with a varies of pads depending on paint or the type of car make it is. Starts at $399.99
2nd Tier is a one step paint correction which removes a lot more than the previous tier. Removes more defect but doesn’t have a lot of shine like the previous tier. Price starts at $599.99. A nice sealant like Jescar Ultra Lock + or Meguiars M27 and 👌🏼.
3rd tier is a two step which removes 95-99% defect and brings back a lot of shine, with clarity. This starts at $799.99.
All three tiers are always protected with two coats of protection. One sealant and one wax.
For my last tier, I use Sonax polymer Netshield and their premium wax or Gyeon Can Coat and their Wax.
There was times that I thought the car would need a two step and it ended up being a one step, when I saw the client; told them xyz because abc so this is why it’s less now. More than thrilled; some still gave me what the original price was, some gave me something in between.
As far as speed wise, applying ultra lock + is fast and the wipe off is orgasmic. Flex Bio and Flex Ice…. Telling you bro, you will never go back to anything else. Only thing I would change is the extractor attachment for the Sapphire, makes extraction a lot more easy and faster.
I found condoms and embarrassing things but I havent brought it up to the client since I did twice. It makes it awkward for them. I found needles and drugs, at this moment; it’s a biohazard…. The price just went up to $1,399.96.
Hope this helps. Happy Detailing
I would charge before starting service. It avoids issues later on.
450-500 all day for us in NC. Interior and exterior.
I take 50% before I schedule a detail …
You always need to let them now that some stains will not be 100 % removed
