    Avoid using a pressure washer on the inside of your engine bay to prevent damage.

    Every fucking time I see someone pressure washing an engine or spraying their cleaner directly onto the dashboard, console electronics etc it bothers me so bad. You shouldn't be doing any of that due to the fact you could damage electrical components in the engine or in your dash, radio and so on. Use a spray bottle and spray directly into your detailing brush and for the engine pressure wash around the actual engine itself and use a spray bottle that way it's not forcing water into the alternator, hoses, intake, spark plugs and other major components

      Depends what you’re going for. If you’re going just for maintenance washes it’s almost redundant unless if you’re applying a wax based sealant or have been asked to buff out a scuff. For first starting out, a wet vac would be more beneficial as you can offer interior deep cleans, not just a hoover and wipe

      @jacobshank9362 Před 2 měsíci +1

      Depends on what type of process you’re doing for the exterior. Like iron bath or pre-foam, I always spray bottom and work my way up. For a normal wash it’s practical to spray top to bottom

    • @MiniNinja258
      @MiniNinja258 Před 2 měsíci +2

      Let me tell you why you should pressure wash bottom up. When you go from bottom up the water pushes the soap and water into the car paint so it’s a natural powerful cleaning motion it makes your soap work more rather than just washing it away. If you go top to bottom by the time you get to bottom all the soap will be gone. Remember you want to get the most out of the soap first not wash it away before it did its maximum cleaning.

      Maintenance washes are most likely first jobs. With little experience most aren’t going to approach clients about a full paint correction. Could be used to apply a wax sealant but with ceramics currently a spray or foam makes more sense

      going door to door might work, especially in a nicer neighborhood. the profitability of detailing really varies on where you live (pretty much how many rich people with nice cars are in your area) whenever you do get a call to detail for someone you could ask them if you could record it and post it on multiple different platforms as a method of advertising and maybe making some money off of youtube Instagram etc
