Thanks brother! 🙏 It’s super important to figure that part out as quickly as possible… you will enjoy detailing much more when you are running a successful profitable business. There is a great opportunity in this business, you have the potential to make more money than most people with a college degree… you just have to have a solid understanding of the actual business side of things, detailing is the easy part.
What sets this guy apart from many others is the way he presents himself. He shows up with clean organized equipment, nice shorts and shirt, and takes care of himself. Lots a people think it doesn’t matter but it does. It’s a lot easier to trust and hire someone like this than someone that looks like they just rolled out of bed, put on clothes from yesterday and smoked a blunt. I used to have a small lawncare business. My equipment was nice and clean, I wore khaki pants or shorts, nice clean shirts, presented my self professionally. I had zero problems getting customers without even trying. Present yourself correctly and will be successful no matter what you do.
@@tonys602 thanks Tony! I agree with you 💯 a customers perception of you is their reality. They are judging you within the first 5-10 seconds of meeting you, how you dress, how you carry yourself, your set up, cleanliness, professionalism…etc Alot of people underestimate how important that first impression is and it can make a huge difference. I actually did a whole video on this topic about building a winning brand. Thanks for your insight and support for the channel… appreciate you 🙏
Your business advice is spot on and A+ info definitely make us some more business advice videos however most importantly show us what you do to get biceps like that... a short video on that would be awesome lol
@@JohnCookAudoVideo thanks John! Appreciate your feedback and support for the channel 🙏 I’ve been hitting the gym pretty consistently since I was 16 years old and just turned 51 last week so it’s 35 years of working out and putting in reps in the gym… I would need to start a whole other channel to cover what I’ve learned in 35 years of training ;) if I could sum it up for you - focus on perfecting your form not how heavy the weight is, eat alot of protein (1gram per lb of body weight a day), get 8 hours of sleep and be consistent. Anyone can do it, it’s just discipline, consistency and time.
Thanks for all the info. I’m not far behind you. I’m turning 46 in January and have been working out since about the same age as you started. Definitely diet and protein intake is 80%. The other 20 is just to work out and being extremely consistent keep up the good work definitely loving your business advice and videos. I own a home theater installation business here in Utah.
@@JohnCookAudoVideo 💯! That seems like a good business to be in, customers with money and high ticket product & service to sell. You can make money from the sale of the system + the service of installing it… I tried to put a home system in once myself and if I ever do it again I would gladly pay a professional like yourself to do it next time!
Love watching your vids man. Appreciate how you not only show your detailing techniques but you’re dropping business philosophy on top. What I honestly appreciate most is how through all of that, it’s your work ethic that shines through most for me. It demands respect bro. Suggestion for future content: would love to see a vid on how you set up Facebook/Google ads for your business. I always hear about it but haven’t seen a vid on actually setting that up. Thanks
@@ChingyBlingy thank you brother I really appreciate your feedback and support for the channel. That’s a great suggestion and I want to make that video… I can’t speak from Experience on that topic because I have never spent any money on ads at all… my business has been built 💯 percent organically… however it doesn’t mean I won’t make the video… Im already planning on doing a collaboration interviewing another very successful 6 figure detailer who’s been doing this much longer than me and I would consider to be an expert on that topic. If I haven’t done it personally and I can’t speak from experience then I will bring in an expert who can provide some professional insight and provide some real value. I’m bringing Reyes back out for another round of filming in December and will hopefully knock it out then ;)
Appreciate the scheduling advice, I sometimes have those weird gaps, so I'll definitely try that out! Also, I invested a lot of time into my employee, for a good two months yes, re doing their work, standing around, but once they get it, It's worth the extra time. I feel like anyone can learn and catch on if you really invest in them, one of the best employees just need a little extra time! keep it up Jeff, you're killing it like crazy!
In my area it's actually pretty easy to make 1000 per day , with a 2 person set up and we can knock cars out pretty quick, the best thing I ever did was buy the a Fortador Pro max 4 in 1 steamer and trailer set up and this summer I just got their Fortador power bank which makes the job much faster , plus the cost savings on chems , and clean up. And the unit itself gets me a ton of walk up clients . I am very proud of you working that many hours I know it's very hard on your body not to mention family time . I hope during the year you take some time just to decompress , and enjoy life.
@topstardetailing I originally started my detailing business in Shaughnessy Vancouver bc and was great awesome clients , a bilthamber/ koch chemie guy , but now I am based in Beausoleil , and detailing here is very different , my equipment is all Fortador ( Fortador Pro max 4-1)as well as 90% of my supplies. Instead of the hustle of multi cars I did in Vancouver , I make the same or more just doing 1 car. But that hustle I kinda miss that sometimes, I hope you find time for yourself and relax a bit . Or perhaps more into the highest end of detailing , instead of tesla , and Nissan get into porches , Ferrari , Pagani . The cars are generally much cleaner and the owners pay well and weird except less . Which I have always shook my head at . But I would like to mention a few up sales that would be great for you ,and is actually very quick to do , : 1 - Bilt hamber touch on you just spray it on the vehicle with your Lance and it give the car hydrophobic , uv and anti dust protection like a 3 month wax. 2 - keep a supply of key remote batteries and offer a replacement battery for a cost 3- a product called atom mac you spray it on the undercarriage of vehicle this stops rust and prevent corrosion 4 - front windshield renewal as in dusty areas glass gets micro scratches looks bad after a bit , but a great and easy upscale is glass polishing using a rupes mini , glass cutting pad and compounds , most detailing always offer headlights but forget the windshield.
@@rdeh1678 most of the vehicles I detail are towards the luxury high end segment, but I do all types of cars. Usually between 20-30 cars per week. 1. I use gyeon wet coat for a spray on sealant. 2. Good ideas on the remote batteries 3. It’s super dry in Las Vegas, it almost never rains and very low humidity so rust/corrosion isn’t really an issue out here. 4. I have done some glass polishing with cerium oxide, but it was very time consuming and didn’t feel it was worth the time and effort.
Congratulations on the amazing work on your channel! Your videos are fantastic, showing great quality and dedication. Wishing you all the success on this journey. Keep it up, my friend-great things are coming your way!
I use drill brush on every all-weather floor mats and trunk mats. The pressure washer can usually get any stuck gum, gunk that doesn't come free from the mat. The drill brush really saves my wrists from hand scrubbing the mats.
Another banger video! Always inspiring! Do you plan on running Google/Facebook ads for your high ticket services like ceramic coating or paint corrections? Would you rather have high ticket job like ceramic coating jobs every day?
Thank you 🙏 I don’t really ever have the need to run ads… I stay pretty busy all the time and do a good amount of paint corrections and ceramic coatings already… I don’t think I would want to do them every day… it’s great money, but paint correction really puts a beating on my body and I don’t think I could do it all the time.
Topstar at it again man 👍 always great insight Jeff appreciate you man..when you go stock up at h2o I had some fab work done trailer build told them you sent me 🤙 get that discount lol
I have built a strong brand that brings in a solid flow of customers and I work alot of hours to be able to service as many clients as possible consistently every week. It’s definitely not easy and it takes a toll on you both mentally and physically, it’s exhausting, but it can be done ;)
@@jamesjgtst I will be opening a new community soon called Top Star LEGENDS and will have some exclusive merchandise hats/shirts for those founders who get in early ;)
On the reviews side, I don't usually ask in person, I should though. We attach a link to the text/email with the invoice then our system automatically texts and emails the client a few times requesting a review. It drops them out if the work flow once they do the review so they don't receive any more texts/emails.
Hey Jeff! Do you use air fresheners or anything to give the scent a scent. If so, which one? Also, do you leave any gifts for the client in the car after detailing?
I go over this in one of my other videos, but to answer your question I use the wonder wafers air fresheners. The only gift I leave them is a nice clean car and my business card ;)
I use Wix for my website and the Wix owner app integrates with that for scheduling and booking. For payment I have a Bank of America PAX payment processor that I can run credit cards on and the money goes directly into my business bank account with Bank of America.
If I wanted to start and get only 5 gallons of products, what do you recommend for each category? 1.) Apc 2.) Rinseless Wash 3.) Water based dressing (int & ext) 4.) Detail spray/drying aid (Ceramic based) 5.) Car soap
Here is what im using for all those… not sure if 5 gallons is available on all, but gallon size will still last you a while 1. Greenstar koch chemie 2. ONR 3. P&S 4. Gyeon Wet Coat 5. GSF koch chemie or Perl P&S
I have thought about that one, but it’s complicated… the thing I think most people don’t realize is there is a significant cost involved with filming…. A full day of filming costs me $800 and to do a video like that would take all day… it’s hard for me to justify making one really long video vs 5 or 6 videos. Also most people’s attention spans are so short these days im not sure if anyone would actually watch the whole video… its hard to keep most people past 15-20 minutes you know what im saying? They got the attention span of a goldfish 😝 If I can figure out a way for it to be cost effective and not super long then maybe 🤔
1k is not bad. However, you're most definitely earning every penny of it. What's great is that you're in fantastic shape , and you also don't look like you have any nagging injuries. However, if you worked out of your home garage and focused on PPF and ceramic coatings, you could make more money and do fewer vehicles. I know a guy who was doing what I just mentioned earlier out of his home two car garage and was making 300k.
@@BrillianceAutoSpa yeah I try to stay healthy… had 2 surgeries in my first year of detailing carpal tunnel surgery and trigger finger syndrome surgery… detailing is really rough on your hands when you are doing it all the time. I have zero interest in doing ppf or tint, I like doing some ceramic coatings, but the paint correction is also pretty hard on the body.
Awesome video I like it. A lot of stuff you talk about is good. It’s the same stuff I do in the last 30 years. I’ve learned also Fleet accounts with 20 trucks or less or better or even just five I call them my high-end fleet accounts where I can charge more money than just those regular fleet accounts. That want to pay cheap try to look for those also ambulances they pay good money if you can get those accounts some of them and they never let you down doesn’t matter if it was Covid time they will pay they have to keep them clean or police cars too check into that . Small maintenance You’re right too. I have a lot of those also and that’s what keeps the business running on the slow times and anytime and good point on detailing either morning or afternoon to do them love the videos keep them going. I’ll see you on TH-cam soon myself. I’m mostly on Instagram and TikTok myself , but you do need one or two helpers at least so u don’t mess up your body and breathe all those chemicals. I always have a helper too. It’s just worth it for your health it’s more important. The money is good, but sometimes you need help so you don’t mess yourself up. Just keep that in mind.
@@QuarterZipBro bead maker by p&s is a great product for that final step , but another great product is bilthamber Auto- QD its highly concentrated and can be diluted as a drying aid , adds a great shine that adds uv protection and prevents water spots , also it can be used on not just paint but other areas as well .
In my opinion just leaving cards usually won’t have much return unless you meet someone and give it to them personally. If you are going to pass out / leave behind something I would suggest a flyer, they are less expensive than business cards and you can put more information on it… some type of call to action… like a special you are running, introductory offer… etc I would target high end fitness center parking lots, nice restaurant parking lots, high end grocery store parking lots… places that your target demographic customers will be, people that can and will pay for detailing services.
The way I do it is for example my express detail on a car is $195 and on average will take between 2-3 hours depending on condition of the vehicle… but the time allotment for that detail maxes out at 3 hours… if it’s in a condition that will take me longer than that then I will charge accordingly based on the extra time. You have to have a set time limit. If it’s really bad condition I will just tell them upfront before starting that their vehicle would require our higher level executive package to give them the results they are looking for. It needs a deeper level of cleaning that will require more time to get it done the price would go from $195 (2-3 hours) to $395 (4-5 hours)
Hey Jeff when did you start getting a good amount of people booking or contacting you from organic google results through your website/business listing? was it after a certain amount of google reviews? I’m assuming your main marketing channel is google organic or google ads. Thanks for your insight as always👍
I have only had 1 person book through finding my website and i think it may be because my website has only been up for two months and i have only two google reviews
@@ArthurMSoto sometimes I find some pretzels or snacks under the seats while I’m vacuuming…. No mannn I pack a cooler full of drinks and snacks, fruit, protein bars, sandwich…etc Don’t have time to be stopping so gotta come prepared… plus it’s healthier and less expensive to bring your own food.
Everyone has their own beliefs, but if you have the choice to do something you actually enjoy vs something you hate doing then do what makes you happy! Even if you think that the world is a psyhop your time is short and goes by faster than you think… so you mine as well try to find something that gives you some sense of fulfillment, freedom, happiness… or at least doesn’t make you miserable doing it anyway.
This guy knows how to make money, the one thing most detailers dont know how to do. Great job Jeff

If it’s really bad condition I will just tell them upfront before starting that their vehicle would require our higher level executive package to give them the results they are looking for. It needs a deeper level of cleaning that will require more time to get it done the price would go from $195 (2-3 hours) to $395 (4-5 hours)
would you say your google SEO / website is a big factor?
@@mlo3423 no, I would say it’s the BIGGEST factor! If you want to be on top of the game then you need those two things completely dialed in!
Love your videos brother , helps keep me motivated to get out there and grind
Thank you 🙏 get that 💰
Hey Jeff when did you start getting a good amount of people booking or contacting you from organic google results through your website/business listing? was it after a certain amount of google reviews? I’m assuming your main marketing channel is google organic or google ads. Thanks for your insight as always👍
I have only had 1 person book through finding my website and i think it may be because my website has only been up for two months and i have only two google reviews
It took me about 2-3 months to start seeing SEO results
Yeah you will need a minimum of 10 before you start ranking… the more the better. Once you hit 50 you will see a big improvement
I really want to see a disaster detail with some dog hair and how your way of removing it is! Your videos are a bessing!
@@mazekop3928 oh mannnn I did a detail today that would have been a perfect fit for that video! Thank you… appreciate your feedback 🙏
Hey Jeff, I also own Vegas Printing if you need anything printed.
Awesome!

What do you eat during your long days? 😂
@@ArthurMSoto sometimes I find some pretzels or snacks under the seats while I’m vacuuming…. No mannn I pack a cooler full of drinks and snacks, fruit, protein bars, sandwich…etc
Don’t have time to be stopping so gotta come prepared… plus it’s healthier and less expensive to bring your own food.
Always a great video! Hit me up when you swing by H20 when you restock and get service!
Thanks bro! For sure… let’s grab lunch or something!
@ let me know when you are about to restock!
The only thing i dont agree with is the passion part i believe that whole world view is a psyop ..love has no place in business
Everyone has their own beliefs, but if you have the choice to do something you actually enjoy vs something you hate doing then do what makes you happy!
Even if you think that the world is a psyhop your time is short and goes by faster than you think… so you mine as well try to find something that gives you some sense of fulfillment, freedom, happiness… or at least doesn’t make you miserable doing it anyway.
Thank you Tom Cruise 🧽
