Detailing is your livelihood , watch out doing all them heavy weights ! End up like that russian weight lifter!!
Yes please do Oscar. Made me feel better when you highlighted in this video how many "Man Hours" it would have taken if it was just 1 person completing the detail. I've only got about 18 cars under my belt as a small business owner and still feel like I'm too slow. I mean I am very methodical and meticulous and the customer ALWAYS gets their money's worth with me, but it would definitely help to hear a breakdown of sorts for different level detail services. Thank You Bro!! You've helped me more than you know since I started my business 1 and 1/2 months ago! Deeply Grateful for the mentor-ship I'm able to receive with you guys leading the way on TH-cam.
Nice bro have you ever had a problem with seats/upholstery carpet smelling bad after shampooing ? Came across this problem myself . I'm just starting and plan to make it right for them but any tips or tricks on this that could help ?
What is the extractor do you use
@@soulodoms8290 I had the Bissell little green pro but just recently broke on me and replaced it with a similar one which is the Bissell spot clean pro
I tried detailing by myself, but I quit because I didn't know jack about the business. I got a couple of clients, but not enough. If where not married at the time, I would have keep on going. But bills need to get paid. Plus I live in san Diego everything is expensive. I ran out of money. So I got a job. I always wondered how I would have been doing, if I had let the ball roll a little bit longer. I'm a car guy, and I actually enjoy detailing. Great videos bro, keep grining
Definitely would recommend trying again, man. I quit my job 6 months ago and am doubling my income. Best way to find customers is paid Instagram ads! Make a business page on Instagram and pay for promotions. I spend 100-200 a week on ads and it brings in a great return!
Try again, I live with only a car detailing service one man solo and l paid all my bills housing service etc,etc, u need to push forward and do the best for you and ur services.
@@anthonyesparza6627 What is your instagram?
if you don't have a passion for it you most likely succeed. detailing is a hard and tedious job
Mindset is key, you will just fight yourself every step of the way if you doubt yourself. Just go back to the deawing board and get to hustling brother, cheers!!$
I liked this format for your video. I enjoyed the "follow along for a day" idea. Most detailing channels show one car and how they clean them. This showed several cars and how you had to keep to a schedule while maintaining a high quality product. Maybe have a clock to show the estimated vs actual time for each job.
Yo bro I started watching your videos and the anxiety started drifting away from starting my own business, it felt like I did the training already here and some months later here I am chillin already comfortable and doing details here and there aside from washes. The details are getting me recommended tho so I must be doing alright. Anyways just here to say good stuff man and all of us here in the comment section appreciate your knowledge and guidelines.
Oscar, I would love to see a video where you break down your 2 person team process for detailing. Thank you for all of the great videos and information to help all of us grow our business.
Now I don't recommend this for everybody but when I started detailing cars I went to junk yards to improve my skills. I would ask the manager or the owner if I could detail his junk cars. If you screw up on one of these he won't have a client screaming what the hell did you do to my car. After a year the junkyard looks like shiny broken cars. I only did this about one day a week to try out new techniques/ideas.
2 guys detailing a car in 2 hours = 4 hours total time. I'm a one person mobile detailer and even if I work fast a complete basic detail takes me 4 to 5 hours.
me too pal
Basic detail as in Express right? That's similar to my times. I feel a little bit better now knowing my operating times aren't too far off from most other detailers. I've been getting anxious toward the last 1/4 or so of my details because I begin the mental checklist of steps that still need to be completed and I start to feel like I'm taking too long. I'm sure it's mostly in my head, but I do have a tendency at times to hyperfocus on various areas (i.e. a piece of lint under a seat) when nobody but me is really going to see or notice it, and customers almost Always express surprise that it took me as long as it did. I guess it's just a matter of us detailers actually knowing the true extent of work required to get exceptional results. I'm getting more efficient in my own right, but a deep clean interior on a sedan or midrange will take me 4.5 - 6 hours. Wasn't sure if this fell within a typical range, but my earned hourly rate is still on point, so I guess It's ok lol. Last week though, I took on my first Extremely Filthy, down right shameful deep interior clean, and it took me 8 hours before I was packing up my stuff to leave. Then the other day I finished an express detail (wash, wheels, spray wax, glass, door jams, interior vacuum, wipedown, and some mud and pet hair) of a mid-range and got done in 3 hours. So, I guess I can equate it largely to becoming more comfortable with my own pace and efficiency as I gain more experience with each job. It also behooves me to gain an understanding of what the client's main concerns are, and the focal points that they will most likely be focused on, and quite possibly inspect, when the detail is complete.
@@Erik-gs4nfYes I feel your pain here Erik. I'm a bit OCD so if I see something that needs to be cleaned or corrected I take it on myself to do it for the customer. It's something I shouldn't do but I can't help it. I took on a 2015 Black Chevy Silverado this past weekend for an exterior wash and wax and interior shampoo of the seats, the car was so dirty I just did everything couldn't help it LOL. What I usually do is I add an hour to what I think it's going to take this way the customer is not waiting on the car and if I get to that point in time I call the client and let them know it's either going to be less time or more time. Basically I only schedule one car a day this way I don't have to worry about going over or not having enough time to complete a job. Like I said for the express Wash Wax and interior 4 to 5 hours is where I wind up just about every time.
St. Lucie Metal Detecting Channel 8 hours for full detail inside and out 😭😭😭😭🤦🏽♂️
Same thing here
I think your helper have more equipment and tools than you 😂😂
Thats because the helper is expecting something to go wrong and doesnt have the experience to know what youre primarily gonna use, compared to the other guy who has the experience and knowledge and confidence of using the necessary tools.
You continue to show improvements in your processes and i agree that there is always room for improvements.
He’s about to get more questions on fitness than car detailing lmao
I started my mobile detailing business and right now my husband helps me when he gets off of work! My customers have told me that my prices are too low for the work done. I appreciate your advice Oscar. Love the channel
send me your web contact such as Instagram or whatever... I wish to know how you do it
It's funny you say that, one of my first customers, who ended up giving me 3 cars to detail, cut the check after the first day for like 30-40 dollars more than I quoted. Obviously a tip, but he exclaimed that it's what I should be charging as the starting cost, given the quality of results and the display of nonstop hustle until the job was fully completed. Gotta love Customers who understand the inherent value of a full detail.
Yeah i just went up on my prices. Even with a basic wash Im detailing pr removing this or that so. You will see. Especially see how you average on tips you receive each job and raise price to that. If you by yourself
It’s all about speed and quality of your work
@@life_motived_corey makes sense! We usually get at least $25 in tips after the job. Thanks for the great selection
Good job brother. That is beautiful 💪🏾💪🏾🙌🏽. To find a good help is like having twice your skills. Get jobs done faster more money and less tireness.
Great video Oscar. Is there any machine that’s equip to Steam and extract altogether? I think that would cut down the detailing time while not compromising the quality. Any recommendations? Thanks
Keep up the great work brother!
When he drove away from the first job I was like ..”Hey you Left your Camera “ .......... HeeeY
what are you using for wheel / tire cleaner ? looks like you are spraying and risking? also do yo not use a 2 bucket wash system anymore ?
Oscar, what size water tank are you using in the van? Are you running it through a pump?
loved this video im getting into detailing and this was satisfying to watch lol
Hi Oscar do you use a steamer ? And if you do does it have to be plugged into a wall outlet or can it be just plugged into a generator
It's nice to see someone out there being upfront about their pricing, and putting forth real world examples of mobile detailing. Thanks for putting your stuff out there. I really learn a lot from your content. Are you by any chance familiar with Joe Metlow with @nextlevelautodetail?
Yooooooooo the deadlifts at the end were bad ass brother man!
And do you give prices over phone /email or wait till you get there
2 guys and the right equipment it is possible With correct rotation
Hi! Any suggestions on equipment? Looking for an upholstery cleaner..
the main question is do you get every detail clean?
I detailed a ford transit in 5 hours total this weekend. Total clean, really clean. And put on sealant. Made 3 minor mistakes in approach. If done different then i would have finished in 4 hours. (Dealer client, not retail)
That two man team Is Great Dude! I need a Solid helper
I like how you explained the process with another person 👍
Hey brother thanks for the upload. I'm new to detailing. I'm here in Southern California. I had a question, I noticed your guy using a Big Landscaping Blower!!!! I thought to myself . .. "Whoa!!!! that's a good idea". would you recommend me as new detailer on using one myself for more efficiency? I personally have been using the absorber for YEARS and I love the thing, but for business what do you recommend? any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks 🙏
Which wheel cleaner did you use on the Corvette?
Great vlog/tutorial vid man thanks
Thanks for the watch!
5H is what it takes me to do a full interior. You are younger than me and there are two of you allowing you to work harder... no problem doing that in 5 hours.
You are probably more experienced
What solution are you using to spray on the interior?
Slow it down with the extracting it’ll pull more dirt out and once the water turns clear your seats are good to go.
I film very s fractions of the details
What extractor do you use for the carpet and seat cleaning
What kind of machine is that you’re using for the carpet?
Whats the dilution on your pump sprayer? And what product?🤔
What watt ratings the vacuum cleaner yous use?
nice team work 👍
Great Work 💯💯
What is that tool called you are using at 8:40 to extract all that nastiness from the interior?
What extractor are you using?
What hose do you use ?? Where can I buy it??
On the Vette did yall do a quick wax? If so what kind please.
Yes make a video on how you tackle them with two guys on the job
IM TRYING TO START A SERVICE BUSINESS. DETAILING CARS IS WHERE I WANT TO START. IS THERE ANY SUGGESTIONS YOU HAVE TO GET THE BALL ROLLING? APPRECIATE YOUR TIME
Good stuff fellas, 2 Is so much better!
What wax do you use?
#DPC for the win👊 That Corvette looked sharp👍
What kind of chemical do u use to clean carpets and sets
Two guys gray interior my self i know i would spend 4 hours on not including setting up. 2 guys yes you can finish around 11ish
Do you have interior exterior packages ? How long do those typically take you ? Would love to see a walkthrough of some cats like that. Love the video man !
How do you dry the seats in cars. How long does it stay wet
The weather is around 100 degrees. They dry within 2 hours
Big fan Man!!
What camera do you use? Nice content as always!
So the drill brush is the key to quick interior jobs?
What’d you pre treat the seats @2:05?
How do you charge so much ?? I do full valets plus detailing for on €60 - €80 lol
what type of vacuum is that at 7:57? is it mixing water with the fabric before sucking out the dirt?
It's an extractor. You press a button and clean water comes out of a tiny hole at the same time the extractor sucks up the dirty water from the fabric. The process is repeated until the water thats getting sucked up looks clear and clean, thats how you know the fabric is also clean.
I did 2 complete and an interior on an RV 1 day 7 am to 10 30 engines included .That day sucked but yay ....
I washed a RV for someone and it was a nightmare doing it🤣
What type of went vacuum do you use
Love how it just switched over to a workout video lol
How do you handle a soft top? I noticed you didn't foam it up
Depends on the material its made from, if its leather just leather cleaner and conditioner and maybe some uv protectant
Can you please give me some info about your machine !! Where I can find ?? Your video is amazing..
Are yall using a DPC protection product ?!?!?!! Kinda looks like their bottles i love the company. Just curious
What is your extractor?
What kimical spray you use
How do I clean the exterior of the car if you don’t have power washer. Or afordable power washer
Our first pressure washer was $100. Then we upgraded to a $150 unit
Good to see your price for detailing went up, at one point you were charging way to low. Did you see any big changes ones you changed your prices?
These are basically the same prices lol
Detail Groove I’m sure you were charging $200 for a wash and wax when you first got started right. And why didn’t you clean the top of the corvette it didn’t show on the video?
Ah yes, in 2011 I was not
What van is that? I'm from the UK and think it looks well funky. Top jobs BTW ✌️
How do you dry the inside of the vehicles after extracting?
The sun for the most part. In the cold, its going to take way longer
Hey what kind of extractor do you use?
Aqua pro vac
What do you uSe to schedule appointments . Man I been doing it old school with the pen and pad and it’s kinda gets blah
Have you heard of Housecall pro? Works pretty sweet
LifeOfPie-Ya I haven’t heard of it . I’ll check it out
Square appointments are nice too and free, though it takes some setup. Use it manually or you can let customers book appointments. Integrates well with invoicing via square payments (percentage fee) and a weebly website too (free unless you want a domain). Face book and google integration. Sends reminders to customer.
Hi was the name of the extractor shampoo machine you use ? Send me the link I need to get one of those thanks man
Aqua Pro Vac. Highly recommended!
Thanks
whats the profit after materials and paying your helper
When you do a mobile detail and go to a customers house for a wash do you use the customers water/ hose or do you supply your own water and hose?
I provided absolutely nothing and no prep! Oscar and Lex did an amazing job, on my nasty ass car.
Christian Colaceci did they have a pump and a water tank?
They connect to owners tap but use their own equipment which includes generator.
Did you detail inside and outside?
What is the name of the machine they use for the seats? and where can I buy it?
Wetvac?
I do one car a day and it takes around 10-13 hours. I am also doing full 3 step compounding and polishing and ceramic coatings.
@Jhubby-FPV not bad at all how much you charging for this one 3 step?
What do you charge? is there any way for you to give me a list? Great work btw, love it.
What brand of extractor you using
Aqua Pro Vac
What is the name of the machine they use for the seats? 🙏🏻
Aqua pro vac
Does anyone know the wax that was used?
DPC Kingsguard 👍🏻
I wouldn’t be able the first one to be done in 2 hours but its only me so yes i see you being done with 2
my advice to people...if you want something done right...do it youself. why pay someone else if they going to cut corners. take pride in the work you learn.
Because lack of time? Don't care to do it? They have the financial resources to pay someone? Many reasons
What do you use for leather seats?
Super Clean 10:1 👌🏽
I’m not gonna be able to buy a generator for a while, until I’m making some money, how could I get power if the customer lives in an apartment?
I’m charging 25 usd for a basic car wash my highest package is 40 usd how high should I raise the prices
As high as you can
You lost me when you tried to explain your 2 man system
Yeah, trying to explain something in a rush on one take is not simple 😅
Detail Groove could you make a video about detailing with 2 people? i’m starting a detailing business this weekend with a friend of mine
He’s basically describing a process to greatly reduce prep and wait time between stages by having two people work on different stages SIMULTANEOUSLY. Steps in detailing has to happen in a linear fashion where one step is dependent on a prior step (for example you can’t extract dirt effectively out of a carpet until you thoroughly soak and agitate). So your carpet cleaning can be reduce greatly with two people bc while one person is working on finishing up extraction on one carpet section, the other person is simultaneously starting the soaking and agitation process on the next carpet section. So in essence, steps 1, 2, (and 3) are being worked on simultaneously.
It’s the same process applied to increased productivity in a production line where multiple people are working on different stages of building a car (or in this case, multiple cars at the same time).
i want to know what carpet cleaner (vacuum) you using, if you don't mind saying (:
yes what extractor!! I want to know the same thing
Aqua pro around $500
Barbaro Acosta is it any good ?
$260 for an interior cleaning??? That’s crazy.
😬
Do it yourself then
The average high end detail is 250$ inside and outside lmao and it's easy too that's why I did it myself I like detailing
I think they should charge depending on how dirty it is or by the hour not just 260
So agreed it is a little pricey for a detail
Good job bro
Where did you get those sunglasses brande name plz?
They're from Roka. Forgot the exact name of them
I love your channel
What part of Texas are you guys in.?. Great Work.!.
Houston
Love the vids man, what is your go to seat and carpet solution
He can speak for himself but I like chemical guys citrus solution (green) works well for both carpet and seats and smells nice
Yea thats what ive been using but it seems like i need something stronger for seatbelts and some stains
@@3R_ramos gotcha! I guess you've tried a stronger ratio?
Ive used it straight from the gallon and even added some stronger degreser but i guess not all stains are meant to be removed lol
@@3R_ramos lol yeah man ... They also make a stain extractor spray but I haven't tried it I've heard good things though
#Teamwork makes the #Dreamwork
Do you have a water tank
I was recently put on commission at a dealership and they're giving me 4 hours for a full detail by myself
What state do you live in? And how do you figure out the prices..?
He is in Houston tx
