Went to your site but can’t find link for a dependable sprayer for the 10:1 and 4:1 dilutions to be put in
I think if you have the pump sprayers pre pumped before you show up its more efficient. But on the other hand if you have a master blaster then i think its just as much effort as a pump sprayer. Because you always have to pump the sprayers no matter what. I find the best solution is a master blaster spray bottle because it uses alot of product like the pump sprayer but you dont ever have to worry about havinging it pumped up. Tommato tammato..Also ive found if you take a cheap bucket and cut off the bottom like a deep plate then cut it into 4ths like a pizza.. i use them under the wheels so the hoses dont get caught. Its cheap and it works. I put those under the wheels as i hit the wheels so i dont waist time doing it separately...
Hey what do you think I did wrong because instead of taking the dirt out i got my car sits more dirty?
What is your annual salary? Is this your only job?
What does he mean by "paint preping the vehicle"?
Out of all the detailers on YT you keep it the realist man. That's why I watch your channel I've learned so much off you. You alone helped me get over my anxiety for starting a detailing business because there's so much misinformation out there and you just keep it real and tell it how it is. Keep up the good work bro.
Why does this channel not have way more subscribers is beyond me. Salute to you Oscar. I appreciate you
Biiiig facts
He talks way too much. He draaaags , like that person who starts telling a story by saying they woke up that morning.
I understand your point with how people could have misperception of a proper efficient detail due to the entertainment aspect of youtube detailing but would you ever consider showing your actual full, raw, most efficient procedure so us detailers can optimize our own process ? Also make sure to get more SD cards so you don’t have to be transferring out files 🤗
Agreed, he doesnt need to apologize every 5min. Would be cool if he does a youtube-detailing so his audience can see it.
Finally Someone else using the 1 bucket method. Honestly this method changed so much for me and minimized scratching so much. Larry from Ammo showed me this and I’m never going back. Great video!
Woot!
Oscar
I love going back to watch your old vids just to hit the ground running when doing my cars. You are still one of the best on the net!!!!!
Appreciate your straight forward, no B/S approach. And, always learn something from your how to videos
Love this guys man🙏 thanks for keeping it real about the business. Very few people will keep it real for their followers. Im sold. Props brother.
I really like your video and I really like your comments. I owned a mobile detailing shop back in the 80s I really enjoyed it and unfortunately I underpriced myself right out of the business, honestly wouldn't mind getting back into it again it was fun, it was always great seeing the customer smile, especially when they walk out to their car and say "Oh my God it never looks so good" . Keep up the great work!
Love that you guys use microfibers to wash. So much easier to get all the dirt off instead of a thick wash mitt
Answering the feedback with the quickness! As a detailer myself hope to have a channel like this real soon. Appreciate the information/content 🔥🔥🔥
Exactly why I haven’t started a TH-cam channel. You’re right all the critics will be out in full force. No two cars are the same, so in my opinion, sometimes you have to break the mold.
Looks sweet....as an director of operations I can understand and appreciate the pro active approach to time is money so keep moving..
That is team work
Perfect video covering all the areas that needed to be addressed…. Thanks
Matt 👌
Oscar you’re killing it, for real.
Man thank you for being real! I'm finally taking my steps to start my Detailing business and you really inspires me!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Oscar gives so much knowledge man !
God bless you bro !
The knowledge I have gained from these videos, thank you 🙏🏼
Glad to hear Jonathon!
Always coming with the great advice!
Thanks Steven!
Facts. I agree with everything you said 100%. People who are not in this business won't understand.
Great video, and completely agree with the "TH-cam detailing vs real detailing."
We get the funniest comments on our TikTok videos from "pros" lol
Love your work ethic been watching since you were cleaning out Corolla inparking lots
Tellin’ the Truth “TIME IS money!!”
that pretty approach is just that, pretty, not profitable #Salute
Sporties is here!!!
Couldn't have said that any better!
My man🤙🏽
Great stuff guys! Thanks for the info!
I respect your work bro 😎 keep going! Lots of valuable information. I like your style. “Make it fit into your system” pretty much applies to every method of every aspect of detailing.. Peace!
Nice video guys :)
Damn it's nice to see an actual real detailer instead of those who take 12 hours to do a simple job. Back when I had a detailing business it only took about 2 1/2 hour to 3 hours for the most difficult complete details.
Damn I can just tell your work wasn’t good
Lmfaooo from a comment? Grow up dawg
I think you just nailed exactly why I'm so slow. I'm learning from TH-cam but no detailer on there is going to tell you to skim over stuff that doesn't need much attention. They show you how you should be rotating a little detail brush over every surface.
I couldn't understand how a guy can do a whole interior in 2 hours working like that....but if you can combine 3 steps into one, that's probably the most efficient.
When you look at price Vs time, you just HAVE to cut some corners or be more efficient. Otherwise, you'd only do 1 car per day and only get $200 for that...it just doesn't pay that way
Yes I do the same methods and whatever works for the individual person good work
I also have a bunch of pump sprayers
The Gary Dean method to wash cars is all I do now. Great advice and great video.
What is the Gary Dean Method
Hi Oscar, have you thought about saving time by just leaving the camera running while you detail, and then add all the narration/explanations later when editing?
Just a thought to save you some time while detailing
P.s. I'm kinda like a weekend warrior, and I could never do 3-5 vehicles in a day. 2 would be a longggggg day...really inefficient ;-)
These guys have been in the business for 7 years, so don’t feel bad about your postscript. 7 years is a long time
That microfiber cloth washing technique is brilliant, I’ve never heard of anyone doing that and now I’m questioning why.
Since you are already using car pro eraser , I would highly recommend using car pro essence if you want a very light polish with some fillers. For cars that have ceramic coating , try using car pro essence plus which wont remove the coating and it will rejuvenate it .
the multiple towel method is something i haven't seen and that's dope
You guys rock. I just ordered my first pump sprayer.
Not sure if you have a walmart near you or not, but, i found a chemical guys pump sprayer at walmart for $20
I just ordered a chemical guys pump sprayer for $17 on Amazon!
Home depot or lowes sells for even cheaper , you dont need to be spending 20 bucks on pump sprayers
@@JonathanRodriguez-yx1vv cheap ones break often
Thank you bro I'm learning a lot dope video bro appreciate it mann
Awesone as usual..Just one question.. why use that paint sealer/wax instead of a quicker silicate base spray wax. To justify charging more or ? Just wondering..We've switched to silicate based spray waxes to save time. Seems to have almost the same results. i cant imagine your getting much correction anyway from the machine. Just asking always looking to learn. Thanks
Just started my detail with my brother and we have out first job Wednesday we have another job Friday and then two more cars next week. I'm excited to start I'm only 16 and these videos help a lot
*Detail business
I started mine 5 months ago I’m 16 also and I do this by myself I currently hire my first 1k a month ago
In my services, should I have the main ones and then have extras for upselling (eg tar remover, etc) or make them all inclusive kind of, but more expensive?
I’m a weekend warrior detailer and the one thing I got to say is when you’re moving fast, you tend to miss some spots. One thing I did was write down everything from step 1 to the last step that I would be doing when I’m detailing my car. I use that paper as a reference so I can basically study my procedures and remember what I need to do. I don’t know if anybody else does that but it has helped me in being quick and efficient because before I wasn’t cleaning my car the way I wanted when I was moving fast
We have an SOP for everything we do👌🏽
Standard operating procedure leave no room for deviation. Great step to process improvements. All components of a lean management system.
We actually use them more as guidelines. We can't create an SOP for every scenario we come across. Couple that with proper training and knowledge and there's a winning formula
No bs and straight up... Thanks
Does the ONR help remove water spots if you have a hard water source?
Styling and profiling for a TH-cam video is mainly for show but anyone really grinding and hustling their butts off trying to knock out a detail will treat things differently. My goal is not to mess around but get the work done under a specific amount of time and be done with it. Wasting time doing something isn’t going to keep you wanting this line of work for long.
So what are you trying to say
Great video bro, now with that clay mitt do you have to continuously wash it off after using it on one area of the vehicle
Dude it’s crazy I was gonna stop by and say hi since y’all where by my area near that H‑E‑B and I saw that a cop literally stopped right there with his speeding gun lol good work bro
Bro, on your advice I'm getting a pump sprayer for pretty much everything! For iron remover do you get one that foams? It looks like wheels you used a foaming one but the similar foamer I found isnt acid safe....do you have a acid safe foamer? The only acid safe one I found was non foaming. LOVING your videos and I'm watching a ton of them! Great info! I'm a one man show and trying to get faster...I think the pumps will help!
your on point keep it up looks good,
What products did you use to clean the wheels?
How does this process do in direct sunlight when it’s hot out ?
Thanks for sharing
Pump sprayers are life 🙌🏿
Yep!
I have a one gallon one, it’s not too heavy but it’s a good size
What pressure washer cord is that green one ?
Thats 1.5 hours between 2 guys. That would be 3 plus hours for my one man band. With all the equipment you basically have. Good video and confirmation I'm right on target
Where can a I get that green hose?? Do you have the link??
Thanks again Oscar!
Great video. Please make the same type of video but for an dirty interior detail.
What are your thoughts on simple green? Cleaning product..
Does claying the paint does some scrating ?
I’m a below knee amputee after a motorcycle accident and thinking of doing this on my own on a very small scale. I’ve been testing products on my own car but those are high price consumer products. I would be interested in what products you use and I can’t figure out what to do with used microfibers. How to wash
I just noticed some paint issues on my car so clay barred it and used Meguiars gold carnuba wax all by hand. I lost daylight buffing that out. I would never wax by hand again.
what is a mini inteior detail and what do you charge for that? is it extra from the 200 you charged for the sedan or on top of the 200? thanks
Yes, everything is a separate price. Mini interior detail is just a vacuum and wipe down
Have you been happy with the polisher from Autozone?
How come when you dried the car you didn’t use a detail spray or a drying aid to prevent swirl marks?
What kind of wax did you use?
What would u charge for a sedan doing this also a truck and that’s no paint correction right just waxing it
Do you have an opinion on using the Iron remover on a dry dirty car? Or on a clean dry car?
If it is a light layer of dust that you don’t even need a prewash rinse then go ahead and do the iron. If not then you need to wash the car first.
Bro not hating or anything but you let your other guy do all the work. I understand it's for your channel but poor guy does 90% of the work. Surprise him with an appreciation gift. I know you guys partners but still. He be putting in the work and so do you so shout out to both of yall.
Dude... no lol. Thanks for the concern doe👌🏽
I tried to clean one of the sit on my car and I thought I was going pretty well but I got it more dirty is the chemical?
I can probably help you if you speak properly
What’s the little red wheel chock I’ve seen under a tire in several of your videos?
Prevents the hose from getting stuck under the tire
Great video as usual Oscar! You're a beast being so efficient ;-)
I love doing the MF towel wash using ONR, exactly as you described (flip until all 8 sides are used, and grab a new one) - ONR leaves the car so nice and shiny and also seems to have some water beading affect.
Also, it think when filming these detailings, a lot of guys maybe tend to over-do it for the camera. E.g. gently/slowly rubbing in APC with a detail brush on every little surface. I don't understand how you can do a car fast when doing that. Of course, I'm not very experienced, so I could easily be wrong ;-)
It depends on time. If they are rushed they don’t but if not then there is no problem with doing slow for camera (not rushed=customer doesn’t mind). Some of it can be editing and slow mo too.
are micro fibers better to use instead of a wash mit ?
No not really. Your focus needs to be on the business side of things until your volume is high then detailing side of things.
What ratio do you use for the iron remover ?
Just spray it on concentrated.
Where do you get your instrumental music loops from?
Epidemicsound!
What wax did you use?
2.50 mark
Can we get some info on that green glove 🧤 mitt
What iron remover did y’all use
Adam's
I have Mitts .. I feel like a longer process mitts ...using towels seems to be Faster
How many times can one clay mitt the same car per month or year?
I want that mitt glove
Was wondering why you went over it with a towel if he used a blower, wouldnt the blower be the best method? I could be wrong lmk pls
We never use the blower to dry everything. Just to get the water off the tight area
Was is ur just a outside wash , mitt bar and wash only ..No interior ?
Have you heard about Spiffy? What is your opinion on their services?
What about if u do rinseless?
Detailing in the real world is all about time I fully agree there. Been following you for a while now we are uk based and operate a very similar business model to you. Catering both high end and mid range customers mobile and in studio services. We have learned a lot from you and your channel about efficiency tips etc. Hope you could find some time to check out our channel. I highly recommend the 1970 rolls Royce video. Keep up the great work guys
SHOUT OUT TO R3 UR ON THE RIGHT PATH ILL BE SOON TO JOIN #DETAILERSUNITE
I agree TH-cam detailer and being a mobile detailer is different
Big time different
@@DetailGroove 100%
This video ia awesome
Why don’t you guys use a spray sealant over applying a wax/sealant? It seems faster to apply with less equipment. I have been using the EGO blowers since 2015 and they are awesome. It does suck up front buying batteries but less time and hassle with chords and generators etc.
So you can use a clay mitt without having to do paint correction?
Yes. If the customer doesn't want to pay for it, what can you do?
@@DetailGroove I understand. I know a lot of people online get anal about polishing afterward. So it's good to know that it can be done on jobs.
Good job! That first jam ...who was that? Dope mixes bro
Im trying to find out as well.
Im trying to find out as well.
What’s the purpose of the thing under the tire ?
To keep the hose from catching between the tire and ground.
1bucket with a lot of mitts/towels, aka The Multiple Mitt Method, or "The Garry Dean Method."
lmao, all these names
@@DetailGroove Ikr... I do it the same way and it works regardless of what they call it. 😂
what type of camera and lens are u using Bro?
A7III with a 24mm 1.4 lens and a ND filter
have been watching all your video and am so much very interested in what u doing ....tired of warehouse clock in & clock out
@@mohammederic6936 what is your career?
Is pumping up a sprayer really faster than just using a spray bottle? Seems it wouldnt make much a difference.
Night and day difference
@@DetailGroove used to have ammo nycs pump for eco rinseless.foam was great, lasted like 8 months. Hardly ever do rinseless ive only been back for 3 weeks so im being cheap on stuff. Will prob get one next week.
So you don't go by the dry time for PowerLock
Dry time?
FACTS!!
250 for a car wash and wax? Exterior only? It takes me about 5-7 hours do do one car inside and out. For 100-150. You are lucky to have a market like this. I respect your hard work,I do it every day,but in my opinion,it is insane to pay prices like this for a careful car wash.. it is just mind bogling for me.
Thanks Bruno! I would say it is crazy to work 5 to 7 hours for just $150. Our customers are not just paying for detailing services
I’ve been thinking about buying that polisher from Autozone. Have you been happy with it. I just wantvt
Got it today let you know
Are we missing the audi r5 footage?
I didn't record any of it. It's the exact same system
