I’m happy to see you sharing your passion and knowledge with your audience. Elevating the detailing community and getting people to enjoy keeping their cars clean is such a great thing.
I wish you all the luck in the works with your CZcams channel and perhaps we’ll get to meet at an event one day. 😁👍🏻
The legend!🙏
Wow, thank you so much for coming by! I have learned so much from you and continue to so thank YOU! It has been fun and rewarding sharing my adventures as a new detailer and I hope to keep helping the community and cross paths soon enough! Thanks so much for the kind words and support!

May I suggest CarPro Perl instead of 303, it's designed to be diluted. 5/1 for interiors, 3/1 for exterior plastic and 1/1 or undiluted for tires.Nice content, keep it up.
Thank you so much! Love the recommendations!!
hi jess, could you please make a video talking about the whole legal stuff? sales tax, LLC’s how to receive payment from customers, how to report income, tax write offs, etc. thats the part where I struggle the most.
Would absolutely love to! I will get it up asap for you!!
@@DetailWithJessyay
🙏🏼🙏🏼
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE VIDEOS!!! Keep up the amazing work!! blessings
Thanks so much!
Hey Jess just found your site looking forward to your next videos And congratulations on your business
Thank you so much!
great video first time I have seen any of your videos keep them coming
Thank you so much!
Great info. Super clean can be used for so much. Pan the organizer is awesome. I met him in Chicago. He has great tips. Keep it up!
How fun!
Hi Mary! 👍🏻
Not many LSP’s will play nice with the glass. I avoid spraying any on the glass and then give the glass a wipe down with my drying towel after drying the paint to just give the glass a tiny bit of the residual from the towel. Otherwise you’ll be buffing that stuff off the glass for days.
New subscriber awesome job I’m also looking into detailing solo. Just trying to pick up some pointer’s.
Congrats! CZcams and Facebook groups are where I’ve learned everything so far! I’ll keep on sharing the journey to help as much as possible too!
Yes VRP from Chemical Guys can be used as interior dressing, exterior trim dressing, and great tire shine. It's like $9 at Walmart. Great product!! Just make sure to buff off very lightly if put on too heavy it will attract dust. Great video!!
Sweet! My wholesaler carries some Chemical Guys stuff, I’ll have to check and give it a go! THanks!
@DetailWithJess No problem. Hope you like it. Also I heard Car Pros Perl is really good too. I've never used it.
I've been using VRP as a tire shine for a while now. It leaves a nice satin shine that lasts a few weeks. But I've been wanting to try Aqua Gloss for a more economical solution. If I need something that lasts longer than that, I use Renew Protect BLAK.
@@mak259 you can get VRP in gallon online. As well as some decent alternatives.
I like Aqua Gloss but it doesn’t last on the exterior. It’s a good in the moment tire shine though.
I liked you straight forward presentation of products today. I feel your product choices are pretty solid, but I have not used any Superior products. I do use the P&S Interior products (except in my own car, in which I use Ammo Products) and they are much better (effective) and more cost effective than many other products. It seems you are targeting mid-market vehicles so you are off to a good start and I am sure you will refine a few of your product choices over time. I am a hobbyist who details family, friends and neighbor's vehicles. I use several higher end products that you are not using, but I am not trying to make a specific profit margin. There are detailers who target the luxury car market that use better and more expensive products. Perhaps that is in your future. I think you have made wise choices.
I would like to say I enjoy you channel so far because you do a very good job in articulating your reasoning processes. You have an awareness and thoughtfulness that most small business owners do not. I feel you will succeed because you are very clear-headed, analytical and have common sense. You would probably succeed in any other similar venture.
Thank you so much! Yes, my current clientele is more of the mid-market vehicles based upon where I live. Quite honestly, I think. I enjoy it that way! I am always trying new products though and have added quite a few new ones to my work. I just wanted to share in this video what I started my business with. Thank you so much for all of the kind words and thoughts!
Try to spray on the pillar/paint around the windows
For plastic trim I use chemicals guys vrp. It's the only chemical guys product I use tbh but I think it's good, even though I haven't really used anything else to compare it with.
Good to know!! Thanks!
I also use VRP and have been for years. It’s really good but I only use for interior trim.
I just ordered it today because everyone was mentioning it! Thanks guys!!
Hi Jess, I just bought a 2018 transit connect and I’m looking to go mobile with my detailing business. Can you make a video about you detail setup and how you build it?
Yes, I do have plans to make a video on the actual build in detail next week! 😊
@@DetailWithJess hurry lol. Can’t wait for the video.🤙
Wow! You are much easier on the eyes than Pan the Organizer! JK Pan is quite Handsome, lol. 😂 This is great information for beginning Detailers such as myself. I’m glad CZcams put you into my Algorithm and I have now subscribed. Looking forward to more videos!
Hahaha Pan is a handsome man ;-) Thanks so much! If there’s any topics you’d ever like to hear feel free to comment!
Great call out on where NOT to use Super Clean - I know there's lots of fans out there for it - I have it too but using it very diluted and only on things I've tested it on not as an APC.
It definitely gets marketed as an APC kind of use, especially being in so many box stores, but it’ll teach ya some lessons real quick if ya want it to haha
👍👍👍nice video madame
Thank you 🙂
superior products are pretty good for the price and for what they can accomplish.
Exactly, that’s my thought process. It keeps profit margins higher in the beginning stages.
I hear you Jess. Great video. I love P&S Xpress and Super Clean is so versatile.
For interior dressing, I use VRP from chemical guys. And I'm about to text Meguiars Hyper Dressing.
Secret secret : try testing your interior cleaner + water based dressing mixed together!! Let me know how it works for you..... It's a time saver for me and imho it leaves a great shine to plastics.
Keep sharing these great videos!
Have you tied that secret secret with P&S Xpress?! Because that’d be amazing! I have heard good things about VRP. I recently started using P&S Swift and it is AMAZING but it’s best for maintenance cars…it doesn’t cut the dirt as needed for dirtier vehicles then ay P&S does.
@@DetailWithJess yes I do use P&S Xpress with it!! I love the smell too! So try this out in a 32oz bottle:
* 13 oz P& Xpress
* 13 oz distilled water
* 3 oz Super Clean
* 3 oz of your dressing of choice
You can play with the numbers as you want more cleaning ability or more shine from the dressing.
Let me know what you think 🤔. Personally I think you'll be 🤯 lol!
Awesome, thanks!!
Try Koch Chemie Top Star for an interior dressing. Good dilution ratios, cost effective, and leaves a nice darkened streak-free finish. For glass, ONR.
Congrats on getting the business going.
THank you! Will definitely give that a go! Koch Chemie never fails!
Agua gloss is great, I dilute it 8:1 for interior work....goes a long long way!
Oh wow, and it always looks great? That’s awesome! It does last forever and I definitely love that!
Try the P&S trim shine its really good.
Awesome, thanks for the suggestion1
I like that hair cut❤
Thanks!
Superior, product are awesome,
Yes they are!
Superclean is great, but it’s very high alkaline, so you need to even it out after you use it or it will bleach the paint or upholstery & leather. You want to even out the PH.
Is that what it is - the alkaline? Good to know! I rarely use it on upholstery and never on leather but so good to know!!
I tried aqua gloss on a dash one time. Diluted 2-1. Didn't like it. I now use 303, but the blue bottle, not sure if there is a difference. I do aqua gloss for the tires at full strength and I like it for that.
I thought there was a different 303 but for some reason every time I looked for it, I couldn’t find it! I will have to try the blue bottle. I don’t hate aqua gloss, but I don’t love it on all interiors so I’m open to a new product!
Try pink perfection from superior products for interior cleaner , cheaper then p&s and works better and it's diluteable
Thanks, I will!! I Just started using Meguiar’s and like how that is cheaper but I love what I’ve used of Superior so far so I’d definitely love to try that one!
Jess looks like you have done some good research on your chemicals. I myself use different chemicals. I like for Adam’s car shampoo Adam’s wheel cleanser and they usually have a 30% For interior and wheel dressing I like Carpro Perl dilution. I like Koch Chemie Green Star and Pol star for cleaning dilution pennies. Floor mats Koch Chemie gummifix. Then I have a detail spray Adam’s slick & shine and there regular detail spray clay lubricant. I have Adam’s iron remover. And I use IPA for windows and for after I polish car before I do a sealant or ceramic coating.
Love all of that, thanks so much for sharing! I keep hearing more and more about Carpro Perl, Green Star and Pol! I want to add those into my chemicals as soon as I Have the space! I use Gummifix as well…I’d like to do a video sharing the chemicals I have added in over time but this particular video was just on what I started with. Love all of that though, thanks so much!
Superior has an iron decon as well. Very affordable like the rest of Superior
Good to know!
I remember just 2 years ago, super clean was 6 bucks at walmart 🙄🙄
2 years ago everything was cheaper then uncle joe came to town.
@@peeweeacres I hope you didn't vote for him
I only use 303 on exteriors, mostly vinyl tonneau truck bed covers. Just doesn't do well on interiors.
Makes sense! I do like it on exteriors a lot!
Have you tried clay bar for water spots on the windows
I haven’t! I should though!!
Nice ❤ cute 💯
Wow, what a SIMP.
You’re absolutely cute
use stoner glass cleaner
Ok :)
I hate the smell of 303 😫
Hmm, I didn’t even notice a smell…
Looks like you are a P&S Girl?
Can’t complain about most of their products so far but also open to others!
Thanks now go do the dishes
They’re done.
Stay blessed I’m just a weekend warrior thanks for the vids🙏😇🫡❤️
Awesome, keep it up!
