@@sturam1500 that is super dope to hear! I am always looking for feedback to improve the resources page. Let me know if you notice any mistakes or have any suggestions for the page to improve it and the information on it. 👊🏽
Only reason I don’t do that is because I like to let all the dust and stuff fall on the floor mats before I take them out. But I definitely should try moving it up in the process just so I’m not drying floor mats at the end of the detail 🙏🏽
I am doing pretty well how about you? I do not use DI water but depending how hard the water in your area is you may need to use it. DI water is definitely one of those things detailers over think too much.
I don’t believe he’s shared that information yet. However, I can recommend Bio Break from Bridgepoint. It’s the best I’ve used. I have used so many systems … a popular one is from P&S; Terminator, Carpet Bomber and Finisher. It’s largely going to come down to which one best suits your situation. Effectiveness, efficiency, affordability and quickness. 😊😊😊
I actually did a video on my top 5 interior detailing tools and the belt is on there! I got it from Amazon! th-cam.com/video/pWmuxU33mKA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3czDqiNilF5zr9QC
Hey man! New sub here, love your videos. Do you use some sort of software to upload the pre detail photos to for the customer to see? Or do you use a software to collect payments?
I have no real argument against your methods … wait, what? Yeah, no argument from Mr. Argument. My methods are even more basic than yours, plus I don’t accept excessively dirty vehicles because I’m a ninny. Over all, though, not much different. Clean, vacuum, protect. Good stuff! 😊😊😊
🤣🤣🤣 omg that is hilarious and a little unexpected! But absolutely my man when it comes down to it detailing is pretty simple. We are all trying to get to the same result. A good looking vehicle.
My methods work for me. That’s why they’re “my” methods. Hahaha. Your methods work for you and that’s absolutely fantastic. I’m not going to pretend my methods are superior to everyone else’s. Over 3 decades doing this work … my methods might only work for me. My method involves (usually) these things: OnR (yeah, no secret) Distilled water/IPA 50/50 (windows) Vacuum Steamer Brushes Towels What’s that? No leather care products, no dedicated plastic/rubber cleaner, no glass cleaner, no fragrances, no APC, no blower, no extractor, no drill brush, no dressing, no blah blah blah’s??? Nope. Let me make it VERY clear, all those things help … a great deal. As I said earlier, I don’t accept filthy vehicles and I have found what I use to be the most efficient and effective for my process. I have not had a single complaint (other than prices) since the mid-90’s. My process takes approximately 2 hours per vehicle … total. Yeah, sounds like I don’t know what I’m doing. I know. It takes 30-45 minutes for exterior and 30-45 minutes for interior. How detailers are spending 4, 5, 8, 12 hours per detail … how is that being profitable and why would you make your clients wait that long? I can afford to be picky, to be fair. I put my time in the trenches taking any vehicle for dirt cheap and hustling my way. Put food on the table and kept a roof over our heads. But now, I only take mildly dirty vehicles. Why? Because if a client doesn’t care about their vehicles, why should I? I’m pretty much set. I don’t have to work at all. I do it because I enjoy it. I do offer shampoo, extraction, paint correction, coatings, protection, all that stuff. It comes at a premium, though. I prefer not to, but I am equipped to handle it and occasionally I accept those types of jobs. I try hard to over-price out so I don’t have to do it … but it doesn’t always work haha. My advice to anyone: Be efficient Be proficient Be profitable Don’t haggle your worth 😊😊😊
@@jamiesdetailingI’m just happy to see it brother you know wats crazy remember I said I did my first interior the other day ? Yeah well that was me with all my tools tryna do my front seat then my backseats then my passenger seats while running around with all my tools and chemicals like a mad man 😂😂😂 I found it so funny hearing u describe it because that was literally me it sound smart until you do it and realize it’s allot … I will definitely try your method for my client later this weeek because it sound allot easier
I feel like steaming is a waste of time to be honest unless we’re trying to remove something stuck to the interior, I go straight to the extractor even if it’s clean enough to not use it I do it either way because that’s what the customer is paying for .. in my opinion of course
Steaming disinfects, extracting does not. Let’s not forget here that extractors are only good for upholstery and carpet. Steamers do it all except extraction … but I would argue that extraction is not necessary like 99% of the time. Extraction isn’t wrong, but I feel that it’s not the most optimal tool for the job … that is, unless extraction is exactly what the job calls for. Argument for steamers: Kill 99% bacteria Eliminates mold/mildew Kills ALL allergens Safe on ALL surfaces Stain killer Smell remover Can be used inside and out No need for waiting to dry Very quick process There is more, but my brain hurts now. Again, (heated) extraction is killer for soiled carpets and upholstery. A steamer isn’t going to match it for that. But, in general, a steamer is really the Jack of all trades. If you’re a serious detailer, steamers are almost mandatory equipment. Then again, I reckon every situation will be unique to each detailer. 😊😊😊
It depends on what that specific detail entails but my lowest price on an in and out is $300 for a smaller sedan. My average basic detail is around $400-$450 for interior and an exterior detail with protection added. That doesn’t include headliners or engine bays. All prices are on my website but most people call for a quote👌🏾
Awesome video Jamie. Always nice to see your straight up video's with tips on how to detail.
I really appreciate the support. Thanks for checking out the video 👊🏽
@@jamiesdetailing A pleasure. Thanks to your video's I use superior products and your resource page for my detailing needs. Keep up the good work.

Damn bro. 20 to 25 mins for that first 3rd part? Props! What tool made you the most efficient you think?
I think between having 1 chemical that can clean everything and a simple process is what really helps cut down time andof course practice 👌
good morning from denver again. cheers homie good content
@@bryanCLXT thanks a ton my man 👊🏽
I do floor mats first so they’re dry at the end
Only reason I don’t do that is because I like to let all the dust and stuff fall on the floor mats before I take them out. But I definitely should try moving it up in the process just so I’m not drying floor mats at the end of the detail 🙏🏽
I do somewhat the same process like you do.
hey man hows it going? thnks for these lives, question do you use or think DI water is necessary?
I am doing pretty well how about you? I do not use DI water but depending how hard the water in your area is you may need to use it. DI water is definitely one of those things detailers over think too much.
Thanks for the video! What product do you use to shampoo the carpet and upholstery?

Safe on ALL surfaces
Stain killer
Smell remover
Can be used inside and out
No need for waiting to dry
Very quick process
There is more, but my brain hurts now.

Steaming will loosen crap on impossible carpet .
so will a heated extracter
Hey buddy, one question how much are you charging for full detail?
It depends on what that specific detail entails but my lowest price on an in and out is $300 for a smaller sedan.

Thank you so much, buddy for your help I really appreciate your answer
I’m going to subscribe to your channel
@@jamiesdetailing i’m gonna open the business soon, but I don’t know exactly about pricing
How much will you charge for exterior interior seat cleaner, and carpet cleaner? And doors panel.
