- Over the past month I have had several subscribers ask how I set up my detailing supplies, and what my rig looks like... well here it is! In this video I show the inner rig of Wilson Auto Detailing. If you are a professional detailer who is just getting started, and wondering how to set up your business, check out this video, and learn how to simplify your professional detailing setup. This is not a comprehensive review of everything I use, but rather a showing of the things I use, from products, to tools, to bluetooth speakers! This is a great way for any detailer starting out to setup their detailing business, or long time pro detailer, and adjust little by little as they learn what is best for their world. Follow along as I show you how I set up my detailing business, and what kind of products and tools I most rely on every day of the week!
Bro! Been watching your content on this fine Sunday and my wife’s been listening in the background. When she heard you say you do full time ministry, she was like, “ I knew it! I knew he was a Christian!” Love it brother. Keep up the amazing work. Subscribed.
Mike thank you so much!!! I’m so glad the channel is helping you! And yes! God rocks!
I'm a pastor from South Africa, I run a carwash and I'm venturing into Detailing. I love ur spirit and I've been learning a lot from u. Keep up the good work and may God bless u.
I love to hear Christians openly declaring their faith. Sadly, it's almost become a taboo and dirty word in the UK, these days.
God bless you and yours, Mr Wilson!
AMEN! Love to know what you're using to drive this all around in, if you have a second job, and if this can support your living
For 3 decades I have used a shop vac to do 100% of interior. And I reverse the hose and use it to dry wheels, cracks and crevices where water hides, etc. It is hands down my most important peice of equipment. 2nd is my Honda pressure washer with CAT pump. I'm on my third one. Spray, scrub, suck.
Luke, great videos ole boy. I've watched & saved several of your detailing videos. Very knowledgeable.
My favorite part was about your lil Bluetooth speaker & your music & favorite pastors you like to listen to while doing your thing...I subscribed immediately after that.
Keep the info coming, GOD BLESS
With much love, your brother in Christ
Your energetic approach truly shows your enthuiasm for detailing. With that attitude, customers will notice and will be very thankful for your service. Even though I detail myself, if you were in my area, I would call you come to detail just to support you.. :) keep it up man, glad to see a younger man seem so passionate about your talent.
TheSnipersReborn I appreciate that very much! Yes I love what I do for sure and am grateful to be alive and able to do it! Thanks for the encouragement!!
as soon as you mentioned worshipping God, I automatically subscribed. So awesome seeing people that are not scared to say that they are believers. Love it!!!
Use aluminum foil and water for cleaning chrome. It creates some sort of chemical reaction that I know nothing about, but it's the best for cleaning bad chrome. I used to restore old bicycles and that's how I learnt that trick. It won't repair damaged chrome, but it will clean it well with minimal to no damage.
Just spray on some water and rub with the foil. Kitchen stuff is fine.
For just dirty chrome any sort of detailer or whatever will do.
Who would dislike this video ? Thank you for the tips, you are a good man!
Awsome job bro. So appreciate the time you take to help us all along the way with our own business. Worship music 🎶 my brother in Christ. Thanks for not holding back and letting people know. Every opportunity is a opportunity to save a life for the kingdom 🙌
Good video.. I have never really thought about a detail business because of my back injury but I do my own cars. I use a lot of the products you are using with a few variations. Enjoy your Memorial Day!
This dudes energy level is above 100% 😂 love it.
Great video and So Proud of You for showing your Faith out to the public. You're a Great guy and I have learned a lot from your videos. Mostly, that I'm too old to do it myself..lol Proud of You Luke!!!
Wow! I am also in full time in ministry and have been seriously contemplating and planning to begin an auto detailing business. You've been a big inspiration!
Hi dude. I also do detailing. But when i heard you listen to worship music, it made me subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work
trenell chetty The devil’s in the detail, as they say!
Funny because when I found out he listened to worship music I unsubscribed 🤣
Glad to hear someone mention something about church great VID
Thanks James!!!! God Rocks!
James Guy church is a Scam the Bible is a made up story
Jesus is Lord Bro! Represent!!!
Wilson Auto Detailing.....Luke, Please give a short list of the minimum amount of products, that can be purchased at Auto Zone, Walmart, Pep Boys etc, to do a very good job on a typical neighborhood car that needs to be detailed to get a low key, low price business going. I've found that most people just want a good job at a low price and less than "Professional" is acceptable for most people. Could you start with exterior then interior and last engine bay. I'm sure with a minimal amount of product, you could do a great job for most "I want to save a buck" customers. By the way, you have the best channel out there. IMHO.
You have so much energy dude I don't know how you do it. Just hopping around you have a great personality as well overall you just have a good spirit.
I appreciate that man!!! Thanks you for the encouragement!
Hey Wilson, i decided to start a Car Detailing Businness, im a car enthusiast, seriously crazy for my cars especially Honda's. So i,ve been doing research which it lead me to your channel, honestly one of the most explained, detailed and always love your suggestions based on your hands on experience, also love your people skills and business tips as im spanish speaking and it has help me communicate to customers more fluently in a more professional way which customer and me loving how detailed and organized the info its transmitted. Keep up the good work and blessings bro!!!
Just though i'd give you a tip. Use a swiffer disposable dusters for a final pass and make sure no dust is left on the dash and vent of a car. I dont own a business but i do my own cars and people always tell me my car is always clean and never dusty.
Hector Martinez ya that's certainly one way to do it. Finishing with something like x wax or a quick interior detailed is a much cheaper option for sure and is a necessary finishing step
Amen, brother. Amen. Let faith arise!
Got a fellow Christian Detailer! Amen!
I wish you well in your Ministry ! That is awesome !
Thanks so much man!
I'm a new subscriber, new to detailing mostly my own and family's cars as a weekend warrior but I love all the info from detailers. I've always wondered, if people invent new things and engineers invent new products, why do detailers stick with older products and so hesitant to try new products that could possibly be better? Just found you today but I'll definitely be enjoying your videos. You've got a great personality and seem very knowledgeable! Keep up the great work and may you continue to be blessed with lots of business.
Thanks so much Eduardo!! I appreciate that a ton!!!! Definitely let me know if you have any questions that I can help with!!
New favorite channel . Killin it bro!
Very useful my friend! And you are natural when you talk,. I like that! Keep up the good job!😉
Such a good video as always , and like you say starting out with not so good stuff isn’t great but it’s a learning curve and when you get better tools and products you will appreciate them more and be able to use them more effective because you’ve worked through the bad
Thank you for all these video they are very useful. This is Jamel from Tunisia
Hey Jamel!!! That's awesome . thank you so much!!!
Se nota mucho en tus videos que eres diferente a las demas personas, y si , acabo de conformar lo que creia antes, que eras Misionero, y quizas por eso es que hablas español, tu mente y tu alma estan mas purificadas por asi decirlo, y eso causa un efecto, en que tus trabajos sean de calidad.
Saludos Wilson, entiendo un 50% de ingles pero quise dejarte este comentario en español .
Thanks Luke! Been waiting for this.
trapcracker absolutely man! No prob!
Keep up the good work.God bless.
Which brand of Microfiber towels do you use? And keep up the grind in God and on your business...God Bless!
I have that same speaker in blue. Love it!
Luke thank you for your content... I enjoy your videos
Thanks for the videos Luke! Looking into starting my own Mobile detailing and I swear each videos I’m taking notes 🙏🏻 you give me the inspiration to try it out
I’m so glad man! Thank you so much for being involved in this community! It means more to me than you know!
Man Luke, your inspiring dude! Bill Johnson is awesome! I agree!
Love it!! Thanks so much for being involved my man!
Awesome video bro, I'm not a pro detailer but a car enthusiasts and detail my own personal vehicles. You've definitely inspired me to take my detailing to the next level! New subscriber as well, cheers!
That’s awesome Sam!! Glad I could do it!
As a fulltime pastor, parttime detailer/woodworker I forst want to thank you for your videos. Second, as a fellow co-laboring brother in Christ, I strongly urge to steer clear of Bill Johnson and go for some solid preachers' podcasts (Truth for Life with Alistair Begg, Grace to You with John MacArthur, Desiring God with John Piper to name a few)
This is the video I've been waiting for as well keep it up man!
Rick's Learning life so glad!! Stay tuned for more!!
Wilson Auto Detailing excited for the VX 5000 video!!!!
Rick's Learning life me too man Hahahaha! So excited!!!!
Give super clean a try....it's much cheaper and just as powerful if not more than megs apc and/or super degreaser...at $10 a gallon and powerful diluted at 8:1 it's very cost effective and safer than purple power even though it's higher on the ph scale. Cheers!
Yes I've been researching a lot about super clean lately, and was planning on it for sure! thanks man!
Super Clean is awesome☝️
Air Necessities AMEN!
Nice vid, Very informational Luke.
Love your shout out to God man! I’m thinking about doing this on the side as well, always nice to find another bother in Christ out there who also does ministry and works with cars as well!
Ya man!!! Love it! Glad you found the channel!
Your videos have come a long way mr. Wilson lol
Great vid. Just heads up though u may want to invest in a acid resistant spray nozzle for the wheel brightener....been known to dissolve the sprayer internal parts over time
Ya it definitely does, but I found out a little trick that works for me... I'm sure I'll make a video about it eventually hahahaha
Nice video! Like the "basic" setup!
There's a great blue tooth speaker at Costco right now for 25.00. Don't remember the brand, but it's great.
I just bought a 5 gallon thing of purple power can’t wait for it to come in
Hey great video! Can you do a video on how you got started detailing, how you got business the first year and how you get business now. Thanks
Hey man, first off let me say I appreciate your time that you take to make these videos. I have some questions if you don't mind me asking. I have a nack for detail when it comes to doing interior and exterior and I drive for Uber and Lyft so I am always cleaning my car. I have had so many people ask me if I would do theirs if they paid me because I do such a thorough job. I basically can take a vehicle that hasn't been cleaned in several years and make it look as if it just came off the car lot for the first time. I would like to start a business doing it. Would you say it's better to do mobile auto detailing or have a shop or something to have them bring it to? Meaning what do you think is more profitable and what brings in more income? Or both? Also I only have my personal things I use which is very minimal so what do you think the bare necessary items I would need in order to start out? I won't keep bombarding you with questions but I would appreciate your feedback. :) Thanks again bro for making these videos your awesome!!!
I like how the first few seconds you were literally a black sihlohette
Hey luke how aboit a 2nd to your pricing vid... How about some tips on how to read a car for a detail... Like what will buff out perfect and what wont.. Just generals guide lines and about how long it would take to do said panel..
And interior issues..
Thanks
Definitely thanks kip!
Best entry ever!!!!
Great points about starting out, a lot of these products now are just hype start small and grow, in business many people grow to fast and go out of business
Definitely!!!
Hey, Wilson. I don't know if you remember my previous post. I know you do tend to ramble, but I guess that's just your personality. But, after watching your comparison video with the Speed Master and EZ Detail Brush, I grown to like and enjoy your channel. I don't use raccoon brushes when I detail a vehicle, but I do use a tire brush. I can relate with you when it comes to bristle stiffness and softness. I've used different tire brushes before with different levels of softness and stiffness and know that some do the job better than others. So, hearing you go into detail with the quality of your equipment shows me you really do know your stuff and not someone who washes cars and automatically think that they're a detailer. So, in conclusion, I like to say is I enjoy your channel. Continue doing what you're doing and good luck building your business.
Igbo Prince well I appreciate that man, that certainly means a lot, thank you for reaching out and I appreciate all of that encouragement! It definitely makes it worth it to keep making these videos!! Thank you again, it is great to hear from you!
Wilson Auto Detailing You're welcome?
Nice intro!!😂😂😂😂 love your channel!
I want to start my own business have a question that is different prices when you do full service in a car, suv, trucks, vans, for example how much do you think I charge for do a full service in a truck
Good stuff.. Ever look at Paaaaan the organizer's stuff? You should
I do!! Great guy!
I subscribed at the 7:15 mark. Period.
True I started my business with 100$ bought some professional grade microfiber towels , spray bottles and chemicals
Yes! I love that Jay Beatz! So true
you are amazing inspiring. this the way i started 4 month got over 60 happy customers
That's aamazing!! Thanks so much for the encouragement!
Where you advertise. I did Google and facebook but it started slow down
Lol love it the speaker i couldnt make it without my headphones and speaker either brother lol thats so true 👍
can you do a video of how u clean your microfiber towels please
the209ceres of course!
wash with warm water mild detergent and air tumble dry (no heat)
You preach the truth, man!
Love ur work Thx for the info
Is that 6 gallon Porter Cable air compressor good enough to blow out Interiors of cars before vacuuming. Im looking for one but I'm not sure which one would be best.
I actually do not blow out cars so I am not the best person to ask for that specific scenario, but it depends on what tool you're using because all of them eat up air at different levels, this tank works great for things like the tornador
Hey, I once put Velcro all over my dash board. And then about 2 years later I ripped it all off. It was really hard to get the sticky adhesive off. Used goo gone and other stuff. Scrubbed and some of the scrubbing scratched. So 3 questions. What’s the best sticky icky goo removers and methods? And how can I make sure not to scratch things if I’m scrubbing? Is there a solution for scratch markings?
Do you have any video in how to do car wash on winter when there’s a -15 outside and don’t have a garage.
Great video Luke it really helps a guy like me who's looking to start a business. Question..I've been researching a lot on steamers and wondering if buying one would help to eliminate some of the tool/supplies I may need? I'm trying to be as efficient as possible. Thanks!
Yes it would! Undoubtedly!!
Do you use a generator or power washer. Where does your water source come from?
Hey luke do you use pressure washer when u go mobile? Or waterless? Thanks man love ur video
Great job thanx for sharing
Keep it up bro, I'm 4 years in and learn new things every day. be careful with that power purple it can and will burn plastic, vinyl, carpet, and paint, trust me i know from experience. If you don't mind sharing, what marketing strategies are working best for you where you are? in other words how do customers find you?
Do you have a good process to safely clean the delicate lens covering the instrument clusters? Any special products, techniques or tricks? They scratch so easily! Great vid, thanks for taking the time to make these.
Mad Wax in all honesty it's Farley easy to clean those, that if you are worried about scratching you could always fill a spray bottle with one cap of ONR and distilled water and use that as a very lubricantes cleaner, but most of the time I will just use a microfiber and some 50/50 alcohol and water solution
thanks!
Muy buenos videos Dios te bendiga, ojalá hagas más videos en Español
Nice video, tyvm sir!
Great stuff Luke! What products do you take for energy? 😆
I'm new to your channel so if you already have a video about this then my bad. Your set up is sweet but I'd like to see how you pack it in your vehicle. I'm assuming you aren't using your car for all of that stuff or maybe you are? 😲
Thanks.. keep up the great job! 👍🏼
Charley
+ApexVision hey Charlie! Actually I don't take anything for energy 😂😂😂😂😂 all natural babayyy! And I do have a video showing that I'm pretty sure it's called my mobile Detailing setup or something like that! Check it out and let me know what you think!
Hey Luke my name is Tanner I have just started watching your videos within the last week I really like them by the way I had a nice little detailing business going with about 20 clients from the time I was 15 till 18 and decided to go a different route I’m just now getting back into it because I really miss it needless to say I wanted to ask why would you be using purple power and Maguires super degreaser I have always been a big fan of purple power that was my go to degreaser what would you say is different about the two?
thanks I have a 4000predator generator would it power the compressor you. carry thankyou
Carlos Vazquez yes it would power that compressor for sure! And thank you for being involved!
Amen Bro...God Bless u.
Thanks Dennis!
Do you wash your microfiber towels often??
Dirtier the better! More of a satisfying transformation are my thoughts and experiences!
thanks for the video brother. Is your air compressor strong enough to run spray guns? I paint cars on the side and would like to know if Its enough for painting for around 5-10 mins in intervals. How did you set up your car for all your detailing? I have a small coupe. Is that enough to do mobile detailing? One last question, If a client accidentally spilled their entire jug of hand soap in the car in the trunk and it was leaking through the small cracks, how would you clean it all up. I had such a hard time because the soap was so hard to contain, it was slippery and using paper towels just made a huge mess. I sprayed brake cleaner and it stank up the trunk for so long! Mind you this was before I knew about basic detailing.
Hey man! As far as the air compressor, I dont know that it is what you are looking for, because 5 to 10 minute intervals would be a little bit too much if you ask me, for this little air compressor to take! With liquid spills like that, that are HUGE, youre going to have to go with some type of extractor, I use a little rug doctor, check out my video on it and let me know if that helps!!! th-cam.com/video/kPMrjQLOZM4/w-d-xo.html
How about when your headlights are old and are very faded because of some damage. Do you have an easy fix for that ? Will these polishes restore them?
You must go thru the process correctly, accurately and precisely.. Step 1 - wetsanding.. Step 2- compounding, step 3- polishing, Step 4- wax
Hey where can I buy quality clay bars in bulk thanks!
Love from Fresno
Okay so how do you go about using water. Do you always use the customers water at there home? And what if your not at the home? I'm trying to figure this out because I use the other persons water and idk if I need to have a water tank for more jobs.
Always customer water for me 😝
For water supply are you just using the customers water
Just subscribed, you seem like a great dude.
you da best!
Have you ever tried Bissell products
Fellow Christian, God bless you
nice videos man!
I started with this video.. I have the rigid vac, and I got the RD machine.
What is your opinion of the Amazon version of the TORNADOR?? $18-25
+Al Barnhill I actually have never had my hands on one so I don't think I can comment but I would say that normally with that sort of stuff you tend to get what you pay for so I don't know that I would encourage you to get it but then Again it could be awesome! You tell me if you do end up buying it.
Wilson Auto Detailing I did get the Ryobi 1600psi PS and the $29 MTM style foam cannon/gun. And it works great.. where in TN are you located
I have a bunch of questions: I want to do detailing on the side as a hobby, do i need insurance to do it? What do you recommend in regards to insurance???
Definitely a great question, but I myself do not even have insurance... it has never been something that I saw as necessary for my business... the few times that it may have been needed, and I mean few... like maybe twice in the last 7 years, one could just pay out of pocket, and that would be much cheaper than years of paying for insurance that you do not use, so Im not exactly sure which insurance to suggest! Im sorry! I know a lot of detailers would disagree with me though, and I'm sure they could tell you!! You might ask Oscar, from "detail groove" he is awesome, and he's got an awesome youtube channel, so definitely ask him and see what he says!
How do you find time to film, edit, and upload daily videos and still be a full time minister and run a profitable detailing business?
You’re messy :)
Next time show the van. Haha
Appreciate your videos man.
Good set up, has your equipment change since you have a few upgrades?
Just a little here and there right now, but this is still the most fundamental setup for anywhere that I go!
He's about to add that new tool that he's working on with that guy in China :-) Can't wait for the big reveal.
Got a fellow Christian Detailer! Amen!
Ya dude!
How much money do you think you have invested it tools and equipment in your business
How did you get clients?
Wait. No footage of the dirty minivan?
Do you use air fresheners in customers cars?
If you washed someone's dog, would you put perfume on it?
Nice video
