This was a good video! I feel the exact same as you. I’ve been working on my business for over five years now. People who online say this and that but for me, (maybe I’m doing something wrong I can admit) I just doesn’t seem to work. I’ve heard of SEO before but I didn’t give it much thought because I was busy trying to create a product. I tried advertising on TH-cam, Facebook and Instagram to no avail. Now I’m most definitely going to look into SEO and see if this would finally help me. Thanks for the info!
It would be very helpful if you make a video on the finance end of the business how to manage the money as far as setting aside stuff for taxes supplies etc. I’ve yet to see anyone really dive deep into that side of running the business. Thanks.
@@jayasmrmore3687 I’ve searched all his videos couldn’t find. Even Wilson auto detailing doesn’t have one on the subject. And from the amount of likes on my comment I think lots of other people could use the help as well. Hopefully someone will make one.
I always watch your videos. I use to detail n I jus got back into it 2 months ago. I’ve been basically getting ideas from you ! You the one who keeps me going
I just watched the first 2 minutes..ur first 4 years u didn't stop, u found a solution. U kept going and u got rewarded. Keep it up because I watch ur videos and u seem humble. Keep goin
You guys are the real deal , I been doing this for 4 years from Friday to Saturday cuz I have a full-time job as a commercial driver up in Pennsylvania and i can't charge that much but I can't complain overall I'm doing petty good ....love you channel Keep it up brother.....💪🏽
much love and respect to you man am detailer my self and am going through exact same issues but luckily friends backed me up we going slow right now but hopes are high XD
Love the video. Glad to see your business is doing well. Where would you suggest I learn about Marketing? Did you take a course, learn online, or pick it up from TH-cam videos? Thanks in advance.
I’ve been doing everything you are telling us (my way) and I’m getting great results so far. Some people cancelling on me mad late but I’ll fix that by asking for a down payment cause this not it. Discouraging but imma keep my head up. People really listen when you know what you doing 🔥👍🏽💛
to those who are unaware, part of SEO is creating whats called BackLinks which are links that have been clicked through to get to your website from another site. google gives more higher ranking weight with back clicks from well known sites v/s not well known ones. the best way to do this is make youtube videos, as google,s #1 way they rank backlinking is from links that are clicked on from youtube.
I been thinking of doing the same thing,I been by myself since 2008 but there some days that I feel so tired and also doing everything by myself like answering the phone and messages and doing the job at same is so stressful 🙃
I knew it. On your last video I saw that you had a new van but I was like wait it must be the other guys van. So I knew it you had partnered with someone else. Good luck man 👊✌️💪
So can you talk about the difference setup between you and Lex? Obviously each one has different tendencies. For example you never carried your own water. Seems like like does with his van. But, maybe that van was setup by the both.
I like where this is going. I can't wait till I see you guys getting a nice vehicle and logos of the business. Not that what you have is bad but it just shows success. I love seeing stories like this.
I love watching videos like this but dam bro I started my own auto glass business after working for safelite for 7 years and idk how ppl can pay 300 for a wash but can’t pay 140 for a windshield replacement 🙃🤷♂️ I just don’t get why ppl think auto glass is cheap 🥴🥴
I’m glad you talked marketing. My niche is full of old people/ generic company pictures. Basic phone taken Before and after pics. Ima make a modern logo and get some nice photos
I'm excited to start my detailing business this year. I was going to start It last year but with Covid I put It off for one year. Yo that's a legit operation In the back of that minivan, even has a tank and generator so you don't need to use any of the customers resources. I'm starting out without that stuff because of the extra expense I can't afford right away. Water and electricity needed Is super low so I hope customers don't mind lol.
I bearly have a month and have more than 40 customers on a weekly basis had the experience for about 6 years on working and trying new products on my truck and finally started a month ago and doing awesome
Congratulations! Good move! Sometimes that is how you can manage to grow and do more, with the right person. Half the time it takes to do jobs but with someone motivated and focused, it makes a huge difference, I had 2 members of my family help me work on my yard and they brought ideas were motivated and we got a lot done, no way I could have done it alone within that period of time.
9:37, man that's tree resin, I'm in Florida, so you can find those pretty much in every car that is outside. You can either pressure wash them off or us Goo Gone!
@detailgroove those gel, sticky, drops are called Tree sap Markings. It's from the owner parking close or under trees maybe oak or honey tree. There are products available to remove them without damaging the paint
@@itslexdiaz mineral spirits, alcohol, goo gone, solvent paint prep, xylene, acetone(be careful) anything solvent based but mineral spirits works well & safe
halflife yes that’s exactly what we used, mineral spirits, goof off, solvent based products. Still left a little marring, i mean the sap was on there for 2 years (what customer said)
Sorry we been busy with work. So Tree sap can be easily removed or a nightmare to remove it all depends on how the owner takes care of the vehicle see how filled the vehicle is with tree sap if more than 60% of vehicle is covered by it that means owner doesn’t wash/wax vehicle often and that’s bad. A wax vehicle helps a lot on the tree sap not bonding hard or eating the clear coats. So removal steps can go as easily as using Alcohol or Steam if the Tree sap feels wet-ish and vehicle have been waxed recently. If none applies then everything becomes a trying process like if you’re doing a paint correction and finding out the best 1-2 compound polishing step. So this are the products I have tried and have worked for us Stoner Tarminator, Nextzett Anti Insekt Bug & Sap Remover, CarPro Tar X Tar & Adhesive Remover, Nanoskin Na-Tsr32 Tree SAP Remover. Remember it’s all about how well they maintained the vehicle because sometimes we have needed to use some of those products and still end up polishing the vehicle because the tree sap have eaten the clear coat. Best of luck
I’ve been wanting to start my detailing business. All your videos are very helpful but I have that fear of what if it doesn’t work any tips would be very appreciate it.
I started a week ago. Don't think about it too much. If you try and fail you went further than those who never tried. Cheers. Get out there and just do it. Learn as you go.
@@andresrobles5796 I'm getting my pressure washer and gallons of soap & other products to have stock. Gonna get started by washing for my landlord and doing a great job I know she knows a lot of people and try and get word out to some of the wealthy neighbors. I live on a ranch, but I see golfs and corvettes and other road queen trucks out here.
Bro I’m really thinking about doing this. Can you make a video or maybe an email or something explaining how the partnership works. Like the money and work split. Want it to be fair for both of us
When you talk about how doing everything yourself limits your expandability it’s because of the law of diminishing returns meaning at first it may be more profitable to do things yourself but over time your return or profits diminish because you can only do so much as opposed to expanding you may pay a bit more at first but will make more profits over time while saving you time
If you want better conversion from google places/pages. You need reviews. The more reviews you get the better conversion from people who see your listing. Make sure you get your clients to post a review. SEO changes constantly, but reviews last forever
What's the best wax to use on the vehicle or on the motorcycle to brightness the color back up to make it shine and what's the best soap to use for a gun foam
Oscar, thanks for these videos. I wanted to pick up on your title of this video and ask, how do you value the company when bringing in a partner and what do you expect of the partner, what should they bring to the table in terms of added value, equity etc. Do you base value on turnover times X and then say to a partner you need to put 50% of this value on the table to play ?...would like to know your thoughts or anyone else that has this scenario. Thanks
Broooo. You've upped your cinematography and story telling a lot. I left some harsh criticism on a video about a year and a half ago and haven't tuned in since. I hardly even feel like you're the same guy and the same channel. Clearly you love what you do and your story telling and cinematography shows that! You make this world a better place mam, keep it up
Yo ill join ya hahaha do it myself on my wed.s as its the only day off i have free of my son or work. Up in WA, been watching you and 3 others on YT. Trying to find a way were i can save up enuff to stop my job and work on my detailing biz. Its hard for my to grow tho when i work 4 10s and only have wed. To detail. What i mean by that is its hard to make this as my job while holding 1, because i cant schedule more than 4 details on wed. So 4 a week to make enuff and get more cliants to become sustainable.
That was tree sap, use alcohol to clean it up. Alcohol reduces the chances of marring, but will the paint dull. A little quick detailer makes it good again.

Man I wish I could make 1000 a day , the detailers here are going dirt cheap on detailing services doing 80$ interior services, 130 full service its ridiculous
Just cause it didn’t work for you doesn’t mean it won’t work for everyone. Also your normal person is most likely to go to google and type local mobile car washing. So makes sense to be high in there.
Detail Groove awesome! how did you handle customers that didn’t want you to use their water?? Haha I should say that I want to start my own business as well and have been wanting to for a while now.

Best way to remove tree sap is with rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer
