    My name is Jess and I started a mobile detailing business in May of 2023 with absolutely ZERO knowledge or experience. I am sharing my journey and lessons learned as I go and grow through business.
    In today’s video, I am taking you through my process of my “Deluxe Detail” for a 3rd row vehicle. I charge $299 for this detail and often wonder - is it enough? Should I charge more? Or should I do a less intense detail and charge less and book more.
    I’d love to hear your thoughts on how you run and operate your business!

    FYI, I just completed a full exterior detail only & it took me 12 hours to complete (Chevy Equinox SUV). I deep cleaned the engine, wheels, tires, wheel wells, door jams, trunk area & hood and all areas were protected. The car was mechanically & chemically decontaminated. Then machine polished. Finally it was protected with a Ceramic Spray Coating. Tires and trim were protected as well. It took me 12 hours to complete these steps. The customer was charged $360 and was completely satisfied...

  • @patrickdonahue777

    Only things I do differently - 1) I always clean carpets and seats at the end, because I'm going to dirty them while cleaning the rest of the interior, 2) I don't use a towel to clean interior at all, I prefer pads. Towels bunch up and roll and are a pain. They also don't have enough scrubbing ability. I use Griots Microfiber Cleaning Pad for a deeper clean then then Griots Microfiber Applicator Pad for a final buff and for delicate plastics/screens. 3) Finish with air freshener/fragrance. Put air on high and recirculate for 5mins to move it around. 4) I've seen you use a dental pick for crevices - Detail Factory sells a "pick set" that is made for that type of thing and is much safer 5) On outside don't forget to dress undercarriage, especially on trucks, with an Undercarriage Spray.

    This is exactly how I detail. It takes me a full 8am-4pm to do a full detail, I will shampoo seats and carpets and also do a one step paint correction but your wash and interior process is just like mine, very thorough! You do a great job

  • @TouchstoneMPWD

    6 hours @ $299 is $49 an hour. That's still good. Personally I'd rather book 1 or 2 higher details a day than to do 4 or 5 smaller price details.
    You're at 1 location so you're not having to set up, break down, set up or travel to next location. You did good work.

  • @Scotty_in_Ohio
    @Scotty_in_Ohio Před 6 dny +2

    Always a great detail! At six hours for $300 that works out to $50 an hour or $100k a year at full time (40 hours a week but before expenses of course). Your efficiency will get better by focusing on a specific area at a time and having all of your tools at hand - grabbing different tools and moving (especially, in and out of the interior) adds to your overall time. Considering how hot it was though I can see wanting to work different areas that might be in the shade. I will sometimes spend 3 hours on one of my Mini Coopers so you are making good time when you consider how large a Sequoia is....

  • @user-ri3bf4or5y

    I love your attention to the little details. Such as trunk & hood jams. Some people open their trunk & may not even notice but most will. And you know. It's amazing how much dirt, leaves and pine needles accumulate there. It's nice to see your honesty and humor about how hard detailing is when mobile & in the heat. It takes a lot out of you physically & mentally. How many of us have or can afford a temperature-controlled garage. Not many but It's on our wish for sure. Keep up the great work!

  • @MaxCleanAutoDetailing-fw4tv

    I clean the door jams, including the trunk jams, first. That way they are done and dirt and debris that comes up on the carpet will be handled with the vacuuming

  • @mcflotty
    @mcflotty Před 2 dny

    Hi Jess, I always do the jams first. My thought process is that if I get any misting/overspray on the seats or carpet, I’m going to be able to handle it when I get into the vacuuming and interior cleaning. I also put a big beach towel over the seats to help mitigate the overspray a little. I don’t think there’s a right or wrong way though. You crushed it here:). I don’t let anyone touch my car, but would let you based on this video. It’s the first I’ve seen from you.

    I’ve been using Koch Chemie AWC for wheels and tires diluted 1:3 and it browns the tires immediately and cleans wheels very well. I was using brake buster but as you mentioned a lot of the vehicles aren’t regularly detailed so I need something stronger. Not the cheapest but it’s diluted and works great. If I have stubborn tires I’ll use car pro retyre.

  • @andremdetails
    @andremdetails Před 10 dny

    So I'm not the only one who takes long to detail. LOL. some vehicles do...In Texas it gets super hot. We have dry heat at times. In summer I wash the cars in sections because after foaming the car before even I can say dry the foam dries off. For the door jambs I rinse them off while washing and at the very end of the detail I spray some wax and clean them but if they super dirty I use Green Start during the Wash. And for the mats YESSSS Aerospace 303 works really great. That product Little goes a long way. Awesome content. Increase your price lol. You do great work.

  • @illusionzauto
    @illusionzauto Před 6 dny

    As mobile detailers we are very limited working outdoors and shade is our best friend. To be honest with the high heat + the heat advisory which made it feel like 106 degrees, it drained me. You mentioned you don't know how other detailers clean the exterior so fast especially in direct sun. I wonder that too but my process when i am in direct sun is straight forward. I knock out the door jambs, then onto the wheels and then bug removal and address any heavy soiled areas. Then i do a thorough rinse and then i use the foam cannon with shine supply hotshot or adams mega foam mixed with distilled water. I then wash the vehicle in full and then go for my rinse and then towel dry. I know many detailers would have their say so about washing in direct sun but i mentioned those 2 car wash products because they were formulated to soften your water and be used in direct sunlight. I have had great results with those products as i get 0 water spots and i don't know how they made those products but that is how i am getting the exterior done pretty quick. Great video by the way and it's great to see a detailer adjusting her technique based on the weather conditions as it is not easy at all on the hottest days. One thing i will say is that i don't know how other detailers are using iron decon on a hot vehicle in direct sun.

    Great looking detail! Excellent results! I wish I had a nice set up like your van, but I'm only infrequently detailing.
    I love Dark Fury! I use several chemicals from Superior Products, including Road Warrior. I mix DF and RW as an exterior APC to get grimey stuff, bugs, and tree sap. I use it on wheels, door jambs, fuel door, and weather tec mats. I may have to start using wheel acid, though. I keep getting cars that have never been detailed and DF doesn't really cut through the caked on brake dust. Not even with scrubbing.

    hi jess, you mentioned how detailers get so fast at exteriors, this is where a higher GPM pressure washer comes into play a lot more water makes it quicker, I had a 1.6GPM when I started and then upgraded to a Honda 2.6GPM and wow it's a huge difference. I usually clean my Tahoe exterior in 30 mins easy! look into higher GPM !

  • @slappy915
    @slappy915 Před 9 dny

    I would suggest getting a deionizer, that will make washing and drying so much easier and faster. You will not get the water spots when it dries. I use the Dual Bed double standard deionizer by On The Go Water Deionizer. Also add a high quality canopy, it will make your life a lot better. I use Eurmax and have a 10x15. They are not super light but you get a very good quality that will last years. I have used mine for over 3 years so far with no repairs. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

  • @Alex.702bestia

    I will recommend washing the car first. sprayed door jams with dark fury or msn or gs . Two things this will help with believe me I detail cars in Vegas heat it’s terrible. First it will cool down the car and you can pressure wash the door jams as you rinse down the car as well. Same towels you used to dry the car put them over the front windshield they will dry faster for your next detail and it will keep the sun from hitting you once you start the interior detailing. That it’s my technique for now. Oh also have you try AWH for wheels and tires in my experience 1:10 dilution on this product will save you big money for wheels and tires. Better than brake buster my opinion. I hope this helps. Great work 💪

    • @DetailWithJess
      @DetailWithJess  Před 11 dny +2

      Thanks so much for all the tips!! So the reason I stopped washing first was because most of my interiors are SO dirty that when I air compress, the dirt and dust gets ALL OVER the exterior…After living in Florida, I learned people in the city have some really clean cars in comparison to out in the country here. This one obviously wasn’t bad and the exterior could have been done first, for sure.

If its cool outside I try do inside first then outside . Either way I use dark furry spray door jams let it dwell then power wash them off and for me it works great ! And I agree Aqua Gloss inside you cant beat it and I found last lot longer and less dust build up!

    I love how hard you work! Thank you for sharing you process. With that said, you need to either charge more or find another line of business. $300 for 6 hours isn't enough. If you were in the south like in the Carolinas or something, sure. But being that you're in CT, $50 an hour, IMO, isn't enough. If nothing else, offer a wax for an addon of say $100.

    When you do the exterior wash are you using the two bucket method with grit guards or one bucket with multiple mits?

      I take it you didn’t watch the video 😂 But I use two buckets and two mitts

    Always do the outside first to avoid the extreme heat from the body sitting the sun for hours.. Once inside you aleast go some shade. But keep up the good work 👍🏿👍🏿

    Great detail process Jess. On average (I know it varies by how dirty it is) how long does a $299 package interior take for you to complete? How long for the outside? I’m sooo slow on interiors and was curious.
    Thanks for posting your video , great job!

    • @DetailWithJess
      @DetailWithJess  Před 11 dny +2

      My interiors take a while…I gave the totals in the video, but in general the exterior takes an hour to an hour and a half and the rest is interior (3-5 hours). But it always varies and there always seems to be something slowing me up - like on this one, the windows were SO streaky…I was losing my mind for a good 20 minutes 😵‍💫

    ❤ awesome video! I love my tornador. But it completely drains my 6 gallon air compressor too quickly for continuous use. Do you have any recommendations for the best air compressor and air hose combination? Cheers. Brian. Spokane Washington

    • @DetailWithJess
      @DetailWithJess  Před 10 dny +1

      My air compressor is only 1 gallon so I hear that!! I have just learned to work with it. I was going to get a larger one this season but honestly decided to just make as much revenue as possible and spend as little as possible so I just work with it and manage! But as far as air hose - flexzilla all day long!

      Rigid 4.5 gallon air compressor, plenty of CFM flow and 3 year warranty. Harbor freight has this one too: FORTRESS 5 Gallon , 225 PSI High Performance Wheeled Jobsite Air Compressor (but it's heavier and louder than the Rigid. But only $299 also (worse warranty (90 days) unless you buy better one).

  • @carlosgutierrez3261

    Question for you guys... I detail and interiors take me about 3 hours to complete. With that being said, my costumers batteries die sometimes. Does it happen to yall or is there a trick yall have that I should be doing?

  • @glyndonsprofessionaldetail7429

    i stagger the process little bit , i do the interior vac/blowout then ill go to the exterior prep because that's when i do doorjambs , then ill usually start back on the interior then finish the exterior

    • @glyndonsprofessionaldetail7429
      @glyndonsprofessionaldetail7429 Před 11 dny

      question .. did you just blow out and vac the floors or did you go and clean them with a cleaner too ? also did you just do a basic exterior wash or did you just not show the rest of the exterior detail process?

    • @DetailWithJess
      @DetailWithJess  Před 10 dny +1

      I did not clean them with any product. I only spot clean if needed or they can had on that on as an extra service. My is a bug and tar removal, wheels/tires, and spray wax. I think I showed all of that in the video but it was really hot and my phone was shutting down due to the heat.

    If you’re ever in Vegas come on a detail with me, I can help you streamline your process a bit.
    Tip for doing the interior in the heat… put a windshield sunshade on the outside of the windshield under the wipers it will make a huge difference in temperature and cooling the dash down.
    A little lengthy on time for a detail, but great work girl. If you ever want to move to Vegas and detail hit me up ;)

    Hint: Wash the roof, windshield and hood first using mitt on stick . The rest is fast around the car. I personally use rinseless in sections and use spray wax as drying aid because there's no beating the drying speed of the unforgiving sun.

    @prodetailingtips Před 11 dny

    Your process looks so much better compared to when you started.
    You are loosing time and using a lot of energy with the washing phase. Your process looks something like this:
    Wash front and rear door
    Walk 3 or 4 steps to bucket
    Pick up brush and clean lower window seal
    Rinse front and rear doors
    Walk to rear of car to pick up scrubbing brush
    Clean the lower panel with brush
    Rinse lower doors
    Rinse rear panel
    Walk 3 or 4 step to wash buck
    Walk to rear panel
    Wash rear panel
    Pick up drying aid
    Put down drying aid
    Rinse rear panel
    Spray drying aid across side of car
    Walk 4 or 5 steps to put down drying aid
    Rinse side of car
    Walk 4 or 5 steps to put down hose gun
    You are covering the same ground quite a few times and using a lot of energy at the same time. Movement is easily confused with productivity, we are all guilty of this. Rewatch your video to count how many times you walk past the same panels.
    I really like how you washed both doors in nearly the same way, this is quite rare.
    Please do not take any of my comments as anything other than constructive feedback. So many pro detailers could learn a lot from you.

      There are also a vast amount of videos on process improvement and efficiency on CZcams. These ideas and concepts were all worked out decades ago.
