Who here uses a car for a detailing/valeting business?
I use a car for detailing, I have a vw touran. And have had no issues with using water and power from customers. So much better than a van better on fuel etc and save tons of money doing so! It’s more cost affective for me! I think having a van is good but I’m not a guy that’s out here going look at meee! I let my work do the taking to be honest
Yep, good old Mk1 Skoda Octavia vrs Estate... Enough space without dropping seats, and quick enough to nip between jobs.
No issues with water or electricity as all new clients are informed prior to booking.
Got a coat for the rain and layers for the cold, and a flask of coffee and snacks...
I am considering changing my Karcher K4 for one of the Direct Hoses Black/Grey washers as the units are very compact (33x25cm!) and the detailing kits come with everything you need and a choice of hose lengths.
I detail/Valet out the back of my B8 A4 Avant and while yeah i hope to have a van eventually, im not in panic stations because i my kit bag(auto finesse big bag) pressure washer, 20L titan and bissell spot clean fit in with room to spare 👍
@@ItsMeKriz I need one of those bags. Next year I need to decide what I'm doing with my van because driving it sucks lol
@@jonlinder189 I'd keep my eye on a refurbished karcher xpert. Mine is solid as a rock. My previous 6/13 hd was incredible had it 10 years and in the end sold it because it was getting tired but still worked 👍
Did it in my moms once.. but I rate your channel so much. Mini Cooper One
Now I’m in a caddy R
Thanks mate that's so kind of you
This was great!! I love the fact that you brought us along for the day. Excellent point on the kid seats, we have it written in our acknowledgement for that the customer reads and signs, that when we remove the seats we only place them back in their spots and they are responsible for reconnecting them. That way we have absolutely no liability at all!
Thanks mate. Wasn't my most exciting of days but just wanted to reach out to people starting out to show it's not all about having the van and all the equipment 🙏
You made a good point at the end about how strenuous doing this is. Even though it's rewarding. That's why People pay others to do it
Love this video. As someone looking to start a simple local service, I didn’t want the complication or expense of running another vehicle. I’m more confident to give it ago with the mighty Fiesta now, thank you :)
Thanks Rob i started on a pedal bike before getting a saxo back in the day
Great video, I’ve been doing valeting for a couple of months now and I’ve been doing it in my tiny Audi s1 and I’m still able to fit all my gear in the boot and back seats and it’s been fine, obviously I’d love a van but for starting off it is fine for what I need and I’m glad that you agree 🤙🏼
Amazing one step at a time my friend
These Videos keep getting better. I love the way you show us step by step and take us on a journey and we get to experience ourselves what its like to be a car valeter! Thank you
Thanks mate, I may make more videos like this
Totally agree, not much is needed to do a great Job, but its all about your client base.
Totally mate. You can build a great client base
Nice one Dave and I agree about the headaches.
£50 per car is a keen price considering all your time including travelling and the chemicals. Plus there's the hidden costs such as buying products in and washing towels.
PS Thanks for setting up the facebook page, it's really useful.
Look after yourself and your family.
Thank you mate that's very kind 🙏
This Channel is great for people who want to start car washing business. Thankful for your tips. I prefer these types of videos. Think ive had enough of the boring product review channels (just review after review YAWN)
Thank you. I enjoy product review channels but yes I understand where your coming from if it's predictable. Some good channels out there on TH-cam
Thanks Dave. Another interesting and relevant video for someone like me who is in the process of starting up my own mobile valeting business. Keep the content coming.
Thanks mate I have a business playlist on my channel too of that helps you
Love the end result of the car. Shows you really don't need a van! Also just wanted to ask, did you use the customers electricity and water or did you have your own in the car?
I started a few years ago, came out of it, went back into it and had no choice but to use a Astra est, means to an end, had the side windows sign written and constantly had the feeling people were giving me funny looks! In a van now, any how, if you want to start valeting and have too start from a car then it is what it is, great vid.
Thank you, people are so quick to judge when you have a car but honestly if you're good at your job your be fine 👍🙏
Yes, that’s what matters at the end of the day.
Good little video. I need to learn to limit myself to 2 hours for this sort of thing. Always go overboard.
When I first got into it dodo juice was the sort of ‘in’ brand and I’ve been a bit of a fanboy ever since. Find them hard to beat.
Tried a couple of angelwax products recently and they were great so keen to try more.
Hello mate,there is a whole world of Amazing products out there to try. I'm trying few new brands for December
Excellent job mate! 👍 Nice to see your flexibility on the job. I’ve always been of the opinion that if u can avoid using a van then do. Vans are great especially the Ford transit custom, but they’re a magnet for thieves, require more expensive insurance, and are in no way nearly as comfortable as a car. If u can get a high sided car/mpv/suv, then you’re better off imho.
Just a word of caution, if you’re getting continuous headaches, that’s not good man. Try and isolate different things to understand the cause(s). Try different products/ positions/environments and see if there’s any difference.
Oh and btw without wishing to sound like a c**k it’s pronounced “vallay” not “valette”
Another great vid and can’t wait for the next one. Keep em coming pls
Stay safe
Thank you mate. Appreciate the kind words. I would love a focus rs van lol
Look forward to the next video along the same lines...interesting stuff 👍
Thanks mate. I'm filming a training day soon
As always just a superb presentation, like all the videos Dave its top draw
Thanks mate
Top work and great insight into the day of a valeter 👊🏻👍
Thank you very much. A typical consists of shouting at cyclists & lorry drivers 😂
Your vid’s are the best ❤ Love your wisdom and how you deliver 👍
Thank you 🙏
Awesome video, I’ve just started my own detailing/valeting business and I do it from my Mini Cooper s!! You just have to be smart with how you position your products and equipment in the back of the car, you can fit more in than you think.
Awesome video really informative and it’s going to help me out a lot👍🏻
Thank you mate appreciate it.I'm making more videos like this so stay tuned
@@epicautomotivedetailing awesome mate, I’ve subbed to see more👍🏻🤘
@@gsmini1749 thank you very much. Got 2 new super car videos coming this weekend
@@epicautomotivedetailing nice, I’m looking forward to them👍🏻 I’m excited for the video where you’re going to discuss in detail the fuel economy etc etc, from car to van that’ll be an interesting video!!
Without a generator how are you powering your equipment. Also without water supply from the client you are pretty much useless.
Dave this is a great video and a lot of detailers across the pond stress that you must have a van or you are not a legitimate detailer. I have a small SUV a Dodge Nitro and I don't want a van and I am a professional and able to complete every job. It was great to see a detailer mention the children's car seats and being legally responsible if they are not installed correctly. Would you also mention cleaning the brake and gas pedals and NOT applying anything that would make them slick or slippery like an oil based restorer. That is another slippery slope applying anything to the brake and gas pedals that could cause the drivers feet to slip and have an accident.
I communicate with the clients so I know what equipment I need and what I will need to complete the job. Your videos rock and I am wondering how Mark and Stephens tea tasted it looked like rubbish. Have a great day. How do we contact you to ask you a question or two?
Great videos and a top bloke, hope your Buisness keeps growing
Thank you business is doing ok, I just want to do TH-cam now full time as it becomes good fun
@@epicautomotivedetailing do you make much money off TH-cam?
@@iceman9646 not a lot let's out it that way. When I look at hours put in for filming, money spent on equipment computers camera etc. Then add the time to film and learn editing skills it's not great at all. I'm only doing this as I want to help others and hopefully long term make better money
I started my mobile valeting company a few months ago and i manage to get all my supplies in the boot of my 1 series coupe!
Amazing well done mate
What about water and electric? Do your clients provide that for you?
@@ptheledge5390 yes that’s my only requirement for it. It cuts costs for me
Do use the customers water supply, what if they do not have a water supply outdoors. What should you carry with you for that. Starting out and just wanted to see
This is a very smart video lots of positive support for people starting out
Thank you i will be featuring more business related videos for 2021
Well done mate and great insight! I use only Meguiars stuff really, I know I should branch out a bit and no doubt will in the future!!👍🏻
Yeh if meguiar's works for you then stick with it. I just love trying other brand's but will always recommend megs 👌
Good video. I never use shampoo when washing my car. Just cold water. Always seems to clean up nice. I do use pure water so don't have to dry it.
If that works for you brother 🙏
Personally got a golf for valeting, I’ve got a roof box for products and towels and the boot is all the machines, ie vacuum cleaner, pressure washer, car dryer etc
Good video, I enjoyed that one. Just goes to show what you can do with a basic kit.
Thank you very much. Yeh it's amazing how simplifying the process actually makes a day more productive 👍
M&S tea 😂😂😂
Great insight into a day in the life of a mobile car valet
Not PG tips but it did the job 👍
Great content once again
Thanks Mike 😀
For me, a water tank and generator is essential. I go to so many customers houses and company car parks where there's absolutely no access to any water or hose pipe, or any kind of electrical supply.
Yes that used to be the case for me. As the business evolved i then came to the conclusion my water tank was there as a back up so i don't always fill it up nowadays. Thank you for watching 👍
@@epicautomotivedetailing then how are u deionizing the wash water?
Great video ! Very knowledgeable, I have just started mobile detailing myself.
👍🏼
Amazing well done mate. Nice to see so many new start ups on here
great vid mate really inspiring ever thought about franchising your gig? i think you would do well plenty of cars in the other home county's
Thanks mate. I did look at franchising it few years back but cost too much money.
Very valid points you made there Dave. Always wise to clarify with the client/customer exactly what needs doing and carry only what you need to get the job done. Fewer items to carry and sort out and of course less expense as no separate vehicle. It's only when the customer asks for something extra or they were economical with the truth would you need extra items. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Karl, when I started out I had a real tough time and made many mistakes working on bad cars in bad weather so it took many years to get good ones like this and I'm fortunate now that I got clients who have power and water. I'm thinking of getting a Skoda yeti or something instead of the van
Great video again fella 👍🏻
Thanks mate 😃
This is a really good informative video. Nice one 👍🏼
Thanks mate appreciate it
I'm using my 2013 vauxhall zafira with 120k on the clock,I keep it clean and have a nice little set up to keep my products and electrical stuff to be as professional as possible,I find most people let me use there water and electricity,I think if your good at what your doing and replicate that to the customer cars then a car is a no brainer!!!
Nice one, I had a zafira once (the first shape) was alright had plenty of space. If it works for you then great 👏
don't get me wrong I'd love a fancy van but the way things are needs must keep these great videos
I have a little Renault Kangoo van and its surprisingly big in the back ( also available in car form ) and something like that would be ideal for mobile works .
If I was against a van purchase I think I would go with a people carrier for the space
I like the kangoo great fun those vans. After lockdown I'm borrowing a ford Ka van to document
@@epicautomotivedetailing my Kangoo is 2005 1.5dci only 75bhp but it isn't slow by any stretch , they are fairly tall in the back so getting in and out with stuff is easy .
MPG is great also .
The ford will be very small BUT you learn to be very good at making it work and get good at packing very efficiently .
I was wanting a bigger van buy yikes the prices of used vans are crazy compared to about 3 years ago
Great video, I’m currently mobile out of a clio
Nice one. Honestly mate I never knew that. It still serves a purpose 🙌
@@epicautomotivedetailing I’m only doing it along side my full time job. Trying to work out if I can make it into a full time living but that jump into the unknown is very scary
I work from my car everyday whilst starting my detailing business last year. Would love a van but with no real financial backing working from my car does the job perfect
Hi Dave, another Dave car cleaner. We are all connected by detailing 😃. Well done mate. My first van was a pedal bike
@@epicautomotivedetailing haha thank you bud only just discovered your channel so now I have a few hours of content to catch up on :)
I’ve also just followed you on Instagram, I would appreciate it if you had time to check out my work my business page is rinse’n’shine valeting
@@davesouth9403 yes mate of course
Your Dorking right on my doorstep
theres never one chemical company you can buy from and be 100% happy with all products mix n match can be fun
Yeh I love trying new brands and definitely seen some great ones this year
Great video fella 👌
Thanks mate appreciate it 😃
Great video & information thank you.
Thanks Dave. Appreciate the comments and the support as always 👏🙏
Great video mate I like bilt hamber but love garage therapy shampoo
After doing this so long now I come to the conclusion that I like so many different ones. Could never pick a winner 🏆
I mainly use Gyeon and Bilt Hamber. Brands like Meguiars have too many products and variations of the same product, I can't be dealing with that
It's a minefield my friend
Hi Dave, thankfully the client had a outside tap,with all the equipment you had taken with you,you sorted it,but you would need a water tank to valet cars,how many cars would a tank do in a day like yours? great video.
Hi Steven, my tank gets me about 3 cars and it's perfect for what I need. Did have larger tank but the van was sinking in the ground so had to shed the weight 😬
I had thought of getting a van ( I haven't started my business yet) I am now looking at getting a trailer that can carry a water tank, Generator and all the other bits and pieces. This possibly saves on fuel insurance and road Tax.
I think once u get a good regular client base u could easily make do without a tank and still do well from it
Where can you fill up a water tank legally?
never turn down a cup of tea you might be glad of it one day no matter how rough it is
To be fair it wasn't that bad lol.
Such a lovely amazing video. Thank you buddy
Thanks for watching 🙏
really good video! thanks!
Thank you that's kind of you
Iv got a 7 seater with water tank and all sorts of tools and machines but doing some modifications now
How do you get on with that. Make sure you tell insurance. My mate got 6 points on his licence for using his car for detailing as his insurance didnt cover business.
@@epicautomotivedetailing all done bro I never take risk. Also do follow on Instagram blingz detailing 😬👍
Cracking video! Subscribed! Can you list the items & products you used, please? : )
Hello yes they are in the description
another fantastic video
Thanks again!
Really interesting even though I am not a professional in any way shape or form. What struck me was the pricing - seems about right. Our local hand car wash at Tesco will charge £26 - more for a big car - with all the issues to do with dirty equipment, harsh chemical etc. In view of this £50 for a safe professional valet seems reasonable. How often do your customers have this done?
Hello Peter, i used to have so many prices and it was over complicated so I switched things up and now stick to £50 maintenance valets some clients are every 2 weeks. Some may even say come back in few days
Car Guru uses a 370z last I looked. And the storage on them is pitiful 😉
Yeah fair play to him. I got a set up designed for people with bikes which is coming soon
Great video as always. I use my car as I haven't got the van I fit everything in if need to take more items then George the hoover sit up front with me
Lol I remember when Henry hoover used to sit in the front. Family sit in the back Henry up front 😂
@@epicautomotivedetailing exactly priorities there mate ain't it cheers 👍
Great vid fella ,thinking of starting this,what if the customer dosent have an outside tap .
Thank you, unfortunately there is a rare occasion where you simply can't do it. But when you look at the odds of that it's pretty rare in most cases.
@@epicautomotivedetailing ok cheers .
Hi buddy
What products are your go to products please?
What ceramic spray was you using?
Love the ideas of the general car valet you have shown here .
Great video by the way
Thank you very much mate. I'm using brilliance by bear car care. (UK Brand)
Not forgetting if you have a towbar on your car you could always use a box trailer.. got to be cheaper than buying a van.
I know few people who do that. I couldn't do the reversing trailer thing lol
Where's your Pump Sprayer from? Love the video
Thank you. It's frogchem (UK website)
I would need some sort of marquee working here in Australia, I've just washed my wife's car this morning and by 8am it's 32 degrees and expecting to reach nearly 40. It would make it a really hard job for a professional.
We never really get many days like that. The weather sounds great for relaxing but working in, no way. I struggle in the heat
@@epicautomotivedetailing I'm from the UK originally and struggle with the heat, it hit 40.5 today and it's not summer yet lol
@@tonyw3250 sounds lovely (well not for work) but still lovely
Mate, you gotta see Car Cleaning Guru with his Nissie 370z! :P
Yeah saw many of his videos on that. Don't think he cleans many cars in a day to be honest lol
@@epicautomotivedetailing yeah, that's fair. Still impressive going though for such a small car!
Great video thanks, I like using MADCOW brand cleaning products 👍🏻
Thank you. Haven't used them products yet
If I can't get customers to drop their car at mine then I have to use my volkswagen bora. Proper trooper and the boot is a decent size to fit the essentials. That's what it is about sometimes... The essentials.... Currently looking at buying an estate car so that I can get a gazebo in there.
If I remember correctly car cleaning guru used to do do it out of a volvo c30 and now does it out of his 370z.
My bora is modified and looks pretty cool and customers do compliment me on my 15 year old car. Does it look professional... I don't know but when I get the job done I don't think the car is a problem
Yeh love the fact car cleaning guru does it out the back if a 370z. If you can live without a tank then a car wins hands down for me. I'd be interested to see what it's like without rear seats in an estate car to see how much stuff fits in
Can't take the seats out as I need it for the kids aswell.... Selfish buggers they are 😂😂... But would be interesting... Could potentially squeeze a water tank in the back if you did.... Maybe need to make a false floor or something.
@@MrMoz0887 yeh that could work. Someone on our detailing group on Facebook has a vauxhall corsa van and that's got a water tank but has a high payload
Or while it’s dry do the outside and when it’s raining do the interior
Relly enjoyable vid, fav brands at min are, bearcarcare, alienmagic, and godetailing..👍👍
I've not tried go detailing yet. Tried few alien magic and loved everything I used so far
Can you do it....yes you can ....sorry I watched to much Bob the Builder with the kids ...👍😁
Lol my son watches that along blippi. Makes my head hurt lol. Thanks for watching mate 👍🙏
Awesome men. Nice.
Thank you 👍
I love your channel and videos. I'm currently an engineer age 38 looking to do this instead part time and then grow my business to small customisations on top. I have engineering to fall back on fortunately.. Ie in winter. I want to go all the
Way with this to make it a full time business. I'd love to here from you. I know the vids you make take a lot of time and effort so the last thing you want is extra stuff to do but id love to have a conversation with you about how you see this industry going and the best/quickest way I could get to being a confident professional with a good brand eventually. I've 7 years studying and 18 years experience being an engineer but I want my own business. Any help learning the money making techniques would be appreciated so much. Good luck to you!
Ps. I also have 4 kids so child seats are child's play to me 😁
Hi mate please do get in touch. Contact via my main website link in about us page on channel or on Instagram
machine polishing is separate thing you know the clients after a while how bad it gets
Yeh once you have a good relationship with clients its no biggy even if you forget the polisher!
Best car vac I can get is Stanley fat max
Never heard of that brand over here?
What r u spraying first...pre-wash, bug remover?
I runing a mobile car detailing firm, in Norway, where it is rain. snow ice. wind. sun. I do busses, cars, bikekes. and all mobile.
But here I need a tent and heater. a genrator, and more. since I also do polishing and wox. deap clean seats and leather. and the rest of the car inside.
winows treatment and do not forget the pastic. you can also polishin 2 c....just cold....and the wax has to sit for a longer time.
So I know about how it is.
But I am gone have a trailer for it. so I don't need to fill up the family car with thing every time and lose 30 min everytime.
ohhh I don't have space for it all in my estate car, even if it is a mb 211. witch is big.
thanks a lot. and all the best.
Amazing you sir are a legend 🏆. Massive respect to you.
Ps please film some of your day to day stuff in the snow and ice. I'd watch that
@@epicautomotivedetailing
That is an Great idea. Soon I am gone start an new yt. Channel I think.with just me an car detailing..but I am not a good video maker but I like it. We see when it happens. Running a business take time.
@@mclaren122 it's good fun most of the time. It's good to look back on those moments and think wow I did that.
I use a car for my business my favourite products at the moment are made by Mirrored by Halton absolutely cracking products
Can't say I heard of them but will check them out. Thanks for watching 🙏
They are a new company but they products are cracking 👍👍👍
@@valetinganddetailingproduc2425 I'll keep my eyes peeled for them
Golden rule! Leave the child seats in unless the customer removes them
very true!
100% agree man I always try to work my best around them as a lot of customers expect when they have kids they will get crumbs, bits etc all over again most people are quite the same with that sort of thing but definitely leave them in if possible or in the other case be very clear to your customer before removing them if that’s what your process would rather be either way that sort of thing be very clear on what your doing before you get going with a hoover 👍🏼💎
@@cobbledetailing4438 In a regular school run car its the muckiest part! I'd put it clearly on the receipt that the car seats have been removed and must be checked prior to use. They're a nightmare to get right
In the shop. We ask customers to remove them. If need help we do. But we don’t put them back in. In the USA you get sue for everything. It’s a liability thing. We don’t want a customer to say their child got hurt or die because we put it back in wrong.
What’s being done is a mini detail which is what we call it here. Wash and quick cleaning the interior.
with clutter in cars i do an inside first then out baby seats i put back in back to front or not movem at all
I hate removing seats but gotta be done 👍
Hey there great stuff! Do you have a video with your set up and equipment?
Hello my friend yes I got a business playlist with few van videos in
Hi mate! First of all great vid, great charisma and good skills...I used to do this for Secure Valeting working for BCA (British car auctions) but didn't go the extra mile with valeting. Still I enjoyed it and became passionate about it and start thinking more about this lately. I was just curious if you can give me a start up price (no van or car required in the price) for tools, products...roughly.
Also is it worth spending 5 6 + hours on a car if you can provide other services more in depth, such as wax, polishing...or would be better to stick to 2 h £50 a car taking your example. Thank you and good luck !
Hi mate ive made an entire video on this question. Do go check it out. Its my budget business guide. I reveal total prices for everything at the end
@@epicautomotivedetailing just seen it 10x for replying. Keep doing what you do cuz you're amazing at it.
I love autoglym
Yeh it's a firm favourite for me too
top video again 👍 also do you rate autosmart products.
Thanks mate appreciate the support
I always use a mask when detailing! Also always always wear gloves.. you really don’t want any of that chemical on your hands/skin.
Yeah the breathing in of wheel cleaners is awful
Loved the video! I see you using the Charles hoover, is this a better option over the George? Not sure if its worth spending the extra on a george
That's why I went for Charles identical twin motor. Same vacuum without the sprayer.
@@epicautomotivedetailing thanks so much for the reply! Ill get the charles then :)
@@llliiillliiiiiilll this is the only Charles you can trust 😂
Great work! How did you run the pressure washer without a water tank?
relied on outside tap my friend
@@epicautomotivedetailing There's a fundamental flaw with doing it without a water supply the client may not have an outside tap and or allow u to use it
@@PuzzlePicPlayhouse fair point but from my many years it's been a very tiny percentage so it's worth a risk for anyone starting without a tank 💪
Where does the water come from for the jet wash!
Customers supply
Now I'm wondering how much I can fit in my Abarth.
When you get a really muddy car. What do you do with the mud that comes off the car when you're at a customer's home?
Very rare occasion I give driveway a quick blast off. But only basic cleaning
I am struggling. I keep getting calls from customers who expect to pay £10-15. They think it is the same as carwash. They don't understand what Valet is and get shocked with even £30. How do I attract quality customers in the beginning?
Ok so first thing you need to do is look at your branding. Who are you targeting? Is your logo basic, does is it say car wash or bubbles or something gimmicky? To get the big clients your website needs to look class and exclusive to make them want to call
Why don’t you use the AutoSmart stuff mate? I genuinely like their Wheel Dressing, Duet Wash and Wash, TFR Tardis is actually ok?
I did all the time mention them in all my older videos. Business had been going well so tried different brands to mix it up. The tfr is great 👌
What if you wanted to use to my own water and electricity. Can I make that happen with just a normal car or would I need a van
Hello mate. we recently made a video on this subject a few days ago. Hope that helps
I tell them to remove anything big,
Seat pram etc
Good call 👏
What dilution did you use for the AS TFR in your pump sprayer? Was it a 5L sprayer too? Thank you 🙂
Hello i think its 8 litres. It comes from a company called frogchem. I use different dilution rates based on how bad a car is so sometimes add a little extra for dirty cars
Great video once again just a silly question what's the best generator to use on pressure washers Andy
Hello mate I don't actually bother with generator I use extension lead
Hi, new to mobile valets , just got small van . Do ya always ask customer if ya have outside tap." Or can I use ya electric . Those 2 things seem my awkward moments at mo , in time compressor and water tank I suppose . Help ful vid , thanks
If they are new then yes. I built up a good relationship over the years so it isnt something that happens over time. You definitely need to step out your comfort zone and just explain if you are new etc...
Interesting that you use a ceramic spray. Is there any reason you choose this over an all in 1 wash and wax shampoo or ceramic shampoo? As these would cut down the amount of time spent on the car and could still be used in the rain
I’d like to do a video about doing it without a car and my little cart!
100% let's make it happen
I'm trying to find a good car vac.
The beast one in USA is mad money.
Any advice for dog hair please

GBP50 for a car wash is expensive or not in UK? In Hong Kong, it is normally below GBP20 for casual wash, some cheap machine wash around GBP10
No way that's cheap. In the UK an average price for a mobile clean is around 35-50 GBP. 🙂
im looking at starting a mobile car cleaning company in a hatchback, however i feel cheeky to use the customers own water supply to clean the car, is that normal? would i not lose out on business using their water?
I drive a Peugeot and I love my carpets, ha..)
Lol think you mentioned that before. I need to start saying be carpets from now on. Thank you for watching 😊
