I think some detailers forget about set up and tear down is part of their working time on that car. Yes sometimes some might say I made $100 an hour but forgetting all expenses, travel time and work put in at the end of the day: washing towels, cleaning up and so on.
@@butskiiueepp1625 you have to know your hourly rate as a detailer otherwise you are not profitable. You could make $500 a day and 40-60 per hour minus all expenses. All These detailers will brag about how much they make but have nothing to show for and forget about. Plus the hours they are not working and not making any money.
You act is if detailers use whole bottles of spray sealants and soaps, etc on one vehicle. everything I buy for my company is dilutable so pretty cost effective. My cost to provide a service on one vehicle is around $5-$7. Now obviously on more high end services requires more expenses but not as bad as you might think. 90% is profit AKA labor. In fact my CPA has a hard time and has to be creative in finding ways for me to save during tax time since my net is high
Issue with gas I have ran out of gas or forgot to fill up. My setup is all electric my power washer and air compressor I ask kindly to hook up my outlet to their garage or house. Customer is okay and understanding most of the time some don’t like it not really the people you want to work for.
last couple months I've eliminated all clients with vehicles that take a long time and only accept new vehicles or if they want their car corrected ceramic coated to b prevent difficult jobs A complete detail takes me just over an hour so that's 50 -75$ per hr. minimal work just a quick easy wash, vac and wipe down of interior surfaces and glass. it totally made me love detailing again . no need to work hard.. work smart and concentrate on what needs to be addressed and skip other areas until they need cleaning. I use 1 bucket and a few microfiber towels in my bucket setting each one aside as they get caked up with dirt. Ihave two shop vacs use a dedicated one in reverse to blow off car after rinse to save time on towel drying. I use a dilutable spray wax in di water to aide in drying and prevent water spots. happy I got to my 1 hr per vehicle goal using these game changing methods. you did a great job. good luck. keep it up
I ran out of gas both in the gas can and the pressure washer at mid foam wash so i had to use my pump sprayer to finish foaming and connect my water hose to clients spiket and quickly rinse it down
Try the compressor attachment with the hvlp gun bro to spray your tires , plastics & wells. Just dilute your trim shine with water and spray away. You’ll save money from that aerosol one! Just dial it down and center it tighter.
Bro i wash everything first then dry it out then hit the interior and get it all situated. Then move back on the outside and just clean up the rest. It's easier in my opinion i just like to go from outside to in and back out again .
That’s what it looks like towards the end of the week. It’s being used daily. It’s organized In a way that works for me. Used towels go on the side, drying towels go on top of the tank and clean towels go in a closed bin.
Dude my sombrero is like yours and be leaving hella trash behind when I’m doing the interior. Just stop using it while I do the Interior cuz I was vacuum way more cuz I have to go back and pick up wherever my sombrero was leaving behind 😂😂
How does one decide between gas and electric pressure washers? If I start a mobile business, I'd probably use neither since I'd do it the rinseless way. But if there was no rinseless, I'd definitely go electric.
If you want speed secrets, consider these : Vacuum and brush out the interior first , before you get water and soap all over the place. *During the vacuuming, the brake rotors and wheels will have time to cool if they need it . Hose down the entire vehicle with water to cool the surfaces and pre-soak . Spray the lower areas including wheels with dish liquid solution, degreaser or all purpose cleaner as appropriate . **Include the floor mats you removed earlier . Spray a solution of car wash soap ( Zaino or Adams ) from a spray bottle onto the paint . Agitate with cheap sponge mop from the dollar store that you've covered with a microfiber towel . ***Use a seperate towel for areas the mop misses . Rinse the car while brushing the wheels and wheel wells . Apply another dose of car wash soap to bugs and tar , agitate with microfiber towel ( or bug getter if needed--especially on the windshield ) . Rinse again. Dry the exterior and windows well so you don't have to do seperate exterior window cleaning . Apply dressing to cladding and tires with a cheap dollar store sponge mop and finish applying with a rag soaked in dressing . Wipe the interior down with water, a wet rag , dry rag and , where needed, glass cleaner . Done !

I like your style but I always start with the interior what's the best method for starting either exterior or interior first
depends on the vehicle, type of detail you're doing, and weather
Nice to see an Inland Empire detail talent!
Keep those vids coming
Just started watching the videos. Great content for hobby detailing and professional’s. Honest, simple keep it up

That’s a no Brainer but at the end of the day I still make my $500 a day.
@@butskiiueepp1625 ok so do most.
@@barrycook8116 wasn’t trying to flex my gross income lol. I’m just saying stop focusing on the hourly rate. Focus on building a quality business.

whats the link to the wash towels for the exterior?

Any edgeless soft microfiber towels will do for the exterior

@Taotl Generally when working with chemicals , one should wear a mask no matter what ... But do any of us do ?
Hardly :/
thanks ima try this
That's some really good time for the level of service you are providing to your clients Tony. Nice work!
Try the Griots Black Satin, it’s a spray tire coating that smooths out to a matte finish. Quick and fast
Great videos Tony. Got to get the van organized and you be a lot faster.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Better then auto Wilson kid.
Hey Tony what do you think about how a wash mitt has fingers to grab dirt and not marr the paint vs using towels?
I prefer towels
Who is the voice behind the camera? 🤣
Reyes the entrepreneur
Bro i wash everything first then dry it out then hit the interior and get it all situated. Then move back on the outside and just clean up the rest. It's easier in my opinion i just like to go from outside to in and back out again .
The van setup needs some work Omg
he needs to be oraganized and more prepared . Looks sloppy
no hate to bro everyone can always improve its good .

Personal preference
Why do every one of these small detailing channels have a cameraman/hype man that sounds just like Cheech?
Basically every detailer video u see in California area is reyes the entrepreneur recording
Yea he’s pimping out the California detailers . What’s crazy is they pay him to ask dumb questions and hear his goofy voice on video.
