I’m 15 and I’m detailing on the side. Made this TH-cam channel to even do car edits and car details because TH-cam is something I’ve always wanted.
Bro I'm 15 too and about to get supplies, any tips?
wearing black gloves seems to be step one to being a professional detailer, seems like they all do it.
Would you rather have dirty hand with dirt and chemicals or have gloves? We use black cause blue or white gloves get more dirty and you can see it and looks bad for the client.
Pretty easy to see that all of your success was well earned with hard work and dedication, thanks for all the videos.
Was amazed to see you used a product from my home town in Scotland. AM Details
Thinking of starting another detailing business and really enjoyed this video.
Homie said “speaking of blowing things up blow up that like button” ahahahah
I appreciate you sharing this valuable information
Thank you Luke! I appreciate it and trying to figure how to start my detail business. Your video is assisting me and I soon will be starting.
I'm digging that window and on treatment... looking forward to the review!
Yessir! Coming soon!
Starting a detailing Business and this is all really helpful!!

Really on point. I'm starting my detailing business in Las vegas. I plan on buying 2 more Van's that way I can make more revanue every month 👍👍
You can’t spell for shit lol
Great video, Luke! I learned soooo much just from this one video ! You’re such a great detailer, and an even better educator! Keeping doing what you do!
Thank you so much Allison! I love teaching, so hearing that is very encouraging!
bro this helps out so much to the point where i dont need to comment you do great work😂
those little bonus items . can make the difference for your clients. you win and keep a client and he/she wins for having a great over the top service and the WOM for more clients maybe. thanks so much for helping an enthusiastic guy who is just starting on this take care you rock
Been watching your videos for quite some time now and have gained so much detailing knowledge from your videos alone. Just started my detailing side job and it’s going very well!! Thanks again for all the amazing content! Stay working hard. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Proud of you man! Keep hustling
One loophole I ended up finding for a heated carpet extractor was using my shop vac diy extractor hooked up to my hot water tap for the washer. Dont have one so it was open. only drawback is needing the customer to come to me or have a hot water tap available. it works in a pinch and only cost me around $120
Thank you bro...I'm 43 years old and you I spired me to get back into detailing....by the way jus got laid off so I started my detail business from my home garage in california....thanks again...
Good shit man I been thinking of starting detailing myself. I too got payed off March and I got down today because I drove by an old project and saw ppl and the company as if no layoffs ever happened. On another note that gave me a kick in the head and I told myself “I don’t like the idea of going back to work for somebody So that somebody lets me go all over again”
Amazing! Love that you are taking control of an unfortunate situation. Winning attitude
Thanks for sharing Luke! I’ve watched several of your videos and have had my son watch as well. He just started detailing and has the aptitude for it. I’ve been helping him from a business and funding perspective but your videos are helping him with more about how to detail. Thanks for all your help!
Hey Luke! Im glad to see that your method cleaning the door is just like mine! Ive reached this method by trial and error! Thank you
It's very interesting to see a detailing pro branch out and help others build their business. Seems like a great niche to be in! Affiliate marketing & sharing your knowledge will surely build a great supplemental income.
Definitley! Thanks for the input man!
holy cow this video was incredible. I just love all ur little tips - they help out so so much.
I'm so glad! Thanks for the feedback man it's really encouraging
You do excellent work, sir! Keep doing a great job, I give thanks for the detailing tips as well... God bless you and take care!
All great tips that I've used in my business. Great videos. Keep them coming Wilson.
This is gold right here
Keep it up Wilson , love the way you go over and Beyond that goes along way, and is worth so much!
Thanks Jeremy!! I really appreciate it man!
Brilliant in-depth guide and explanations, I'm aiming to launch my business this year over here in the UK and hope I can build such a good reputation like yourself.
Fantastic man! Keep hustling!
Thank you Luke for another amazing video, and for sharing your expertise with myself and others who pursue this path. 😇
Hi Wilson. Your t-shirt is very beautiful. This red is to die for. I received one in black. I love this site.
Excellent video. It definitely has got me rethinking my business plan and pricing. Work love to chat off line some time.
Video was very helpful and informative.
Yes bro, honestly u made me wanna start a mobil detail so ive been detailing my friends cars to start off with
Hey luke when you do mobile detailing did you take your own water to wash the outside?
Thanks Luke, Very informative inside look at the business. I think my grandson might be interested in auto detailing in the future, so I'll share it with him.
Sounds great! Let me know if you have any questions I can help answer
Wow I did not know that we live in the same city. I love auto detailing bro. Your job is amazing. Auto detailing is one of my hobby. I’ve doing cars detailing for my family and friend. And i had good feedback from them. I’m thinking opening a Sat Sun business for car detailing at Fairview. Hope to hear any advice from you bro!
Your videos have been a game changer for me! thanks so much. Ive always had bad luck on glass and streaking. Im using chemical guys glass cleaner with the waffle glass cleaner towel and it leaves the worst streaks. What is your recommendation on glass cleaner?
Very informative!great content!and some things I definitely take on board in my business!keep up the good work!
Thanks man! Glad it could help
Thank you for a great informative video
Thank you!
Luke: The content of the video was very pertinent to you work model that you've incorporated and much of us know about. It may have been over-the-head for beginners, but for those whom have been in the business for a short time, had specific problem solving themes in which to draw from. Heck, I still over compensate by using your gimmick of rolling a micro-fiber into a mini-stand that holds a business card and mints (Remember)? Overall, no repetition, you didn't stumble, and the content was specific and to the point. Another job well done!!!
Thank you so much Bill, always look forward to your feedback. This is definitely my favorite part of the youtube videos, being able to talk about business things like this. I truly think this type of detailing business model is best especially for young guys (which is a lot of my audience), and that's why Im teaching it this way in the course Im developing. Making 3-4K per month with auto detailing while working part time is so possible its crazy hahah
Nice, I really like that you explained the detailing bussiness.
Thank you Luke!
Great video man a lot of great information!
Dude this is great info. Thnaks for all your work.
Super helpful! Keep these videos coming.
As usual Luke you’re on the money - no pun intended. I’m a secondary school teacher coming up to retirement teaching engineering, design metalwork, woodwork and technical drawing. I’m currently only able to do weekends and holidays with the sun setting at 5pm as its coming to winter here. I would love to transition to your 4 hour a day model, but can you see that happening for me while I’m working full time? I have 5 regular customers (one who did the same thing to me last Friday as she spilt a casserole in the boot and the dog went nuts every time it got in the car trying to get to there food! My new Bissell extractor killed it. I too would like too use my teaching to educate as I go, but getting tie to edit my footage is an issue. Keep up this content as its great to hear ways to impress customers
Absolutely man! Good questions for sure, I would say firstly, the fact that you already have 5 regular customers is pretty amazing as it sounds like you are still in the beginning stages. Double down on that model because I can tell you from experience that is where the real growth, money, and leverage is. I think the 4 hour model (give or take a little time of course) is something that has to be worked up to in a sense. Finding those clients can take some time, and developing a tried and true strategy and system can take a little time as well, that being said, I don't know your abilities of course, so you may be able to grow faster than others! Keeping it as a side hustle for now, and slowly growing it from there is a tried and true way to go!
Wilson Auto Detailing thanks for the reply Luke. I’d say after 2 years of practice and about a year of client work, my skills are above average. Coming from as hand on practical teaching subject has helped. I’ve just been commissioned to bring a 1969 Ford Mustang coupe back to its best ready for sale by the owner so I must be doing something right. I’ll post some instagrams shots when its done.
Love the energy and fun factor of your videos, great vibes 🙌🏻💖
Haha thanks! I try to make it a little less mundane!
Great video Luke ! Love the content as I'm building my own business
Definitely! That's the goal!
Very Helpful Luke, thanks as always!
Great video and ideas! Thanks
I'm in Johnson city tn! My sister lives in Nashville
Years ago I detailed vehicles for a dealer as an employee and doing old dirty vehicles was a nightmare. Especially the older 9 door station wagons.
Alot of people dont understand that a good detail takes time sweat, equipment knowledge. Im in a border city so nobody wants to pay but i agree a good detail cost a pretty pennie!!!!!
Being from TN too, you must live in either the Franklin, Brentwood, or Green Hills area:) Keep up the work and videos!
Easy to learn from u appreciate it.
Thank so much! Like the value of your videos!
love these videos luke! definitely info to remember
Very well said Luke. Nice video
Thanks man I appreciate it
For a maintenance wash do you change 75 bucks for just then interior on this one? Or exterior as well?
Great business advice Luke thanks!
I never thought about only 150 per day for only 4 hours of work. Most likely you will have have more clients than that if you are building a great reputation.
Definitely!
Thanks for the video . Very informative .
Great narration and tips for business. Thank you.
Thanks Philip!
That was great and yes it was helpful 👍
Luke how do you schedule your clients when it rains? So lets say you have one client on Monday and it rains but Tuesday is a good day but your booked for that day. How do you get back to the Monday client when you have a booked schedule?
Soooo close to 100 k subs
Great video
very helpful great video
I think I found a new side hustle! Hopefully more than just that.
Great video man, thanks
Absolutely, thanks for watching
Great video, great info, nice work on the vehicle.
Thanks man!
Bro that additional service will have recommendations and the calls back through the roof
EXACTLY!
Yes👍🏾great job
Best in the game🔥keep it up!
Thanks Adam!
thanks brother. Very helpful
Yes very helpful 😊
That’s was very helper
First carpet extraction tomorrow, wish me luck lol
I really enjoy your content luke. If you have time I would love to chat with you actually and pick your brain about more of this specific video but products etc.
Definitely man! Email me if you can Wilsonautodetailing3@gmail.com
Very helpful
Detailing course:
When will it be released?
Thanks for this video man
My customer would have opened his door and thought i forgot the super clean and disinfectant lol. Would have likely swung by my place and dropped it back off lol
you use that am spray to condition the leather
awesome tips man! how do you price add ins such as the windshield protection? also would love to see a water test with the rain repellent!
For things like this, sometimes it’s better not to price them in! Add ons like this that are so easy can be a great add on “free” service to build up a reputation. But I generally make $50/hour with something like this so I leave myself room to do some things for free without losing money
Scrolled through the comments to find this but couldn't find it. What kind of watch is he wearing?
Have you ever detailed Jason Aldean trucks?!???
Had to take down the website because you were too busy?
Is there such a thing as being too blessed? LOL... Glad you found your niche, Luke!
Hahaha I would say that's what happened! Too much blessing :D No, it turned into much better things, and I will be creating a new website, it just wont be for local detailing clients :D More coming soon
@@wilsonautodetailing That sounds great. Kinda funny how TH-cam and the internet can change where some of your business comes from.
Por favor Luke, please please slow down so i can follow you better. I am taking notes here brother and can't keep up. Great videos hermano. Bendiciones
He talks just as fast as I do. Its hard for us to slow down, we are fast thinkers, thus fast talkers. I get the same comment plenty, it's not natural for us to slow down and it feels awkward if we try, just one of those things.
Yea
I can tell that your business is maturing and expanding by your display of a non-Wilson tee.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
awesome stuff. How did you advertise when you first started?
Well I first started ten years ago going door to door with flyers 😂😂
Is Meguiars orange citrus cleaner equivalent to the green apc
Yes, it was very helpful
Great!
When is the next online course?
My question to you is: when a customer sends in photos of a vehicle that they want detailed, and it completely filthy and you don’t want to dive into it, what do you tell the customer? How do you say no without being rude?
Hahaha great question, I think I would say something along these lines “Hey there customer, thank you so much for sending in the pictures. I know it’s difficult to get all of the important areas of the car in a single picture so these really help me! As I’m looking through them, it’s looking like the car is in need of some specific detailing and cleaning that unfortunately I really don’t provide. I don’t mean to disappoint you, but sometimes in the detailing world, certain vehicles are at a point where unless they are completely detailed out to the highest level, you might be disappointed with the results and ultimately paying the price you pay for the results you get. While I don’t want to turn people away, in my opinion, for your sake, your money would be better spent somewhere where they deal with this kind of condition on a regular basis. Does that make sense?”
Extremely helpful. What kind of price differential is a dirty detail to your maintenance. Ex
75 maintenance charge vs (dirty detail price). How do you up charge is what I'm saying
I actually charge closer to $100+ even for maintenance, and while it’s a difficult question to answer simply because it varies so much, I will generally not touch a really dirty interior for less than $65/hour
Hey what brand or model is the tool cart you have there?
What steamer was used at 13:18? It looks different than the Mcculloch much more steam too!
It is the VX 5000 steam cleaner, they used to be available on amazon but I believe you can only get them now on their website, they are about $900
Awesome
Where do you purchase your gloves from?
what do you think of griots garage products?
Percieved Value 👌
