All Glory to God , God Bless u brother i really like what your doin man keep going big things are headed your way forsure All Glory to God. Just trust in him and keep him first he will use you if you let him. In Jesus mighty name
Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.
Business and Family should always be separate. Its RARE for it to work.
I hire my brothers who work for me and they don’t complain i pay them by the hour but it’s all good not every thing works
As long as you keep it business it’s business. Plain and simple .
@@nevergiveup9560 yesirrr end of the day you gotta make money for the business and the employee should understand it
personal opinion mate
Me and my brother work together, no problems. We just sat and talked about how both of us didn’t want problems and wanted to open up a family business with our parents
I worked for my dad for 10 years. We fought every day because we couldn't separate that family/employee dynamic. After I quit our relationship improved significantly.
Weird
@@manylopez6785 how?
I feel this. I work for my brother hvac company and so yk those long days it gets real heated and we just go at it. I also live with him so it’s even at home. I want to quit but I can’t leave him hanging rn, just waiting for the right time
@@manylopez6785 You must have never worked for your family business
We run a dealership with my dad me my brother and my dad. fathers like when their sons grow with them and not hide behind his shadow my older brother and my dad always had that similar thing but instead of my brother quitting we opened another dealership and now it’s 3 of us 3 on the same page making money, but maybe your dad was just a harsh employer and he didn’t respect you as his son and employee. I started off detailing his cars and worked up to salesman anyway glad your relationship worked 👌🏼
This guy is absolute class, still gotta finish watching the video but seen other videos and you're so honest and that's what makes this channel great

First i like to say a thank you to hunters mobile detailing that guided and help me to become the detailer im in today and only been in the game for a year so its going. Second id like to say this a person that u wanna look up too. He professional, he its detailed in his process of the car and is hilarious and i can see he loved to do what he does. Awesome content. thank u for teaching me something i never thought id pick up. thank u brother🤙🏽
I hired my cousin about 5-6 weeks ago as my first employee for my business. Almost every week there was some issue that came up and I kept trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. This past Monday there was another situation and I had to let him go. It went pretty good but I'm 23 so to be so young and own a business and having to hire people and "boss" people around and need things done a certain way it can cause some awkwardness in your relationship if you don't keep it strictly professional. At least that's my new take on it, but I tried!
What business u in detailing?
Yeah bro I’m 23 as well and i own a detail business but i feel weird telling people what to do because i never have that authority before but it takes some getting used to
@@daltoncrawford4849 I’m 27 and own my own business. I tell me brother what to do as well. Your the boss you started the company man up and be a leader don’t feel bad. You are in charge my man. Also it helps I pay my brother 20$ and hour so he listens lol what wage do you pay your employees?
@@startingtech3900 around $15 a hour
@@daltoncrawford4849 around? So like 12-13$ bucks an hr? up the pay maybe that’s why u feel bad 😔
Love watching your videos as I also own a detailing business that is still in the growing stages. I’ve definitely learn some things from your videos that I now use on a daily basis so thank you for that.
The main reason I commented was to touch on your air compressor turning off & taking some time to start back up. The issue your having is one I ran into a while ago therefore I know the exact solution. Air compressor have a “duty cycle” (how long the compressor can run before needing to be off for as long as it was running for before cutting off) . To simplify it, you either need to A) add a auxiliary tank (additional tank) in your system, or B) upgrade to a “constant duty cycle” compressor. This type of compressor does not need a break or to be turned off to cool down. I semi solved my issue by just adding a 11 gal auxiliary tank which allowed me to have more gallons to use before my compressor would kick back on to level off the tanks.
Hope this helped! Keep grinding & receiving your blessings 🙌✊
Be certain to drain your compressor tank a few times a week. It is probably filling up with lots of water which in turn leads to failure of the valves and such due to internal corrosion. It has already been mentioned about the check valve too. Really enjoy watching how you handle situations and you are learning and growing. Wish you were here in Fort Worth to tackle some of the cars on my lot!
i would conisder changing that yellow nozzle for the white 40 ° nozzle.. Somehwre down the line you need a higher flow pressure washer with a wider spray pattern. ( much more efficient & quicker )
Which pressure washer would you recommend?
Kranzle
You might need to replace your check valve on your air compressor. Also business is business you can hire a friend but while you're at work you're the boss he's the employee and there's no friendship involved. The most important thing you can learn in life is how to say no.
About the air compressor , it may be because you have items around the machine itself not allowing it to grab air!!
I find that in this industry most detailers are introverted and are aiming to have people meet their perfect standards which is cool. Switch from being a detailer to a business owner and invest in people. Currently have a team in toronto making minimum 200$ each and im making 250$ for each head. Be a business owner not a detailer.
Wow great observation. That makes sense as I detail cars too
The $ sign goes before the number by the way
Rigid was an ultra quiet compressor works amazing small and compact
On your air compressor problem… how many gallons is your air compressor ? You can only use em for so long until you have to give em time to reload with air
After you use it it needs to be charge again I'll think.
Took me one time to learn this lesson...had my uncle help me on a big job once and I could tell he felt some type of way about me telling him what to do..lol
Man I been looking at a lot of videos on TH-cam and your vids and are straight to the point and full of knowledge. Respect bruh
Wayne for the compressor make sure you are draining it out. When you use it a lot it builds up a lot of liquid.
To keep it short bro, You have to be very upfront with friends and family in business. They need to understand that you have a business to run, money to make and a reputation to uphold. If they have an issue with that, or you feel they are the type to have an issue with that, save the relationship right then and there and say “ hey look, i don’t think this is going to work out the way we think it is, I don’t think it’s a good idea “ that’s just me.
agreed
i think you are using the fortress air comp still if i recall. i would try draining the tank with the valve on the bottom they have a vacuum issue. if that doesn't work it is probably overheating and you will have to put it in a more ventilated area. You will also need to take care of the oils and make sure that you are changing them regularly. This will help you out in solving the problem for good. There is an interval for changing these oils and not only that, but you will also have to mind the viscosity of these lubricants that you are using. Make sure that you are using the right oils and that is going to help you in solving the overheating problem on your air compressor.
Straight up - you need to have an employee handbook/list of guidelines just like you do for your different wash systems to keep the structure throughout your business. I guarantee not one company anybody else has worked at has been hired without first signing some sort of agreement after reading or going through an online webex training that indicated they understood what was expected of them and what the consequences would be if they failed to follow the rules. You need to have some sort of discipline structure in place for instances like with what happened with your friend. I.E - First time failure to respond by 7am = Warning, Second time = Write up, Third time = termination. This also covers you in case they try to say you never told them or properly laid out the expectations. Good luck and keep at it!
Those are the kind of things I’m having a hard time coming up with that’s all new to me. So I’m working on that kind of stuff now. I appreciate you bringing that to my attention
Bro I don't know if this may help but getting a magnet and a basic clip board so you can slap it on the van so it can be easy to access and quicker to check off rather then running inside the van to look at the clipboard everytime.
would love to see customer reactions when they see their vehicle cleaned
This is the perfect example of how EVERY detailed needs to be. That will change peoples views on just ‘throw water on it and dry it’
I’ve been detailing with my dad since I was 13, I’m 25 now , over the years we perfected working as a team & some days we don’t even need to communicate , because we’re so in sync
Thanks for sharing the CRM app. I’m not that happy with the one I’m using. Look forward to you’re review. I hate that mine charges me a large process fee every time a customer pays through it. As far as the friend/family deal, like you said, set the expectations upfront.
I charge taxes on the app so that makes up for any fees. It’s all Integrated.
I used to work for my brother. Only problems we had was he expected twice the work and gave half the credit he had with other employees. Luckily we always had good communication. It all worked out. We're closer now than ever. But it's hard working with family or friends no matter what side you're on.
I like how you detailing and the end product speaks for its self .
My mom always said never hire friends or family. Most of the time it’s a bad idea but sometimes it can work. It all depends on whether you’re on the same page and are able to separate business from personal life. Some people can some can’t.
hunter keep investing into the yt channel its gonna blow up bro
Move your compressor to your 30amp plug.
Aight NY in the house. You need a better or bigger air compressor. They can only hold but so much air. As your using it the air runs low then it kicks on making all that noise. It only kicks on when the pressure gets low because your using it. Then it turns on and compresses the air. So a bigger one or a better.
I just upgraded to a 6 gal truth
I’ve worked with friends (not family, that’s whole other dynamic lol) but who tend to have the same work mentality, we can joke around and have a good time but understanding to be productive and it’s gone good. I like how Wayne explained to clear the water in the beginning so it can be clear this is business. I believe it’s a learning experience both but specifically to the friend to understand that life isn’t about being spoon fed and have a taste of how the world works; if you don’t than you’re not helping them. Learning experience. Mad love to the channel bro.
I learned my lesson from this . It actually was my right hand man , my A1 Day1 guy . I NO longer do business with friends and burley do business with family . I love your channel man . It’s Dope what you doing 💯
You a good dude Wayne . I feel ya . I hear what you saying my brother . The channel is dope too , b roll and all .
If or when I decide to do this detailing shit , I would do it solo dolo ! Would not care if I had one or two or three details a Month ! Would not really give a shit ! But everyone finances are different. Do what you can handle ! Im an Army Veteran with comp and pen ! So , fuck it ! 😂😂Keep doing you Wayne !
He makes more money employing people because he’s able to do
More jobs but I guess it all depends on how much work your have coming in
Hunter you probably should fire that guy BUT keep that shit to yourself it’s not for the community to know your business stay humble and keep building your business haters are gonna hate.
Try opening up the air valve to let all the pressure out of the air tank then close it and build up the pressure again. Works for me
Use a tarp or runner on the ground beneath those mats when you clean them. Never clean the customer belongings directly on the ground.
Gr8 vid.👌
Mechanical engineering major and detailer here: Cut off is likely do to the length of hose. Just like if u add length to an under powered pressure washer it’ll cut off…same thing with air compressor. If u can get a shorter hose I’d do that. If not I’d check the voltage requirement on the compressor and see if the compressor isn’t getting enough power to it
for your compressor issue, reduce your extension cord and grab a cord with a bigger gauge diameter
I'VE BEEN DETAILING SINCE I WAS 15 IM 40 NOW. Y'ALL ARE DOING A GOOD JOB BUT Y'ALL ARE DOUBLE WORKING YALL SELF
This one is from my personal experience
But I believe detailing industry pays good but doesn’t give you enough to have someone long time and make them think that’s what they want to do for next 7-10 years
Eaither they decide to go on their own or
They rather have a job at Walmart just chillin not doing much and not getting beat up in the heat, or they want to make as much as you the business owner.
That’s why I’m slowly saying goodbye to detailing myself
Working 5:30 am - till mid day
And calling it day making $250+ I’m happy working alone
But my vision is to have people go around and it’s hard because you’ll always have the people that are just temporarily
I’m 20 years old and 3 years in business
I’ve had my highs and when I thought I had my business going good and was becoming passive
Boooom, losing an employee.
Bro I have a air compressor from Harbor freight and it does it all the time. There should be a reset button. Unplug everything else from your generator and hit the reset button. The problem is there’s too many things running on your generator and the air compressor is not getting enough voltage to push the piston to get it started. After the piston gets well lubricated and theAir compressor it warms up usually resolves itself
When you use the blower it keeps the dust in the air and it slowly falls. When your done with the inside cleaning the dust falls. Damp micro fiber rag works best.
You should wear a mask when you dusting with air that’s people skin flakes and other things you don’t want to be breathing that in Wayne
Good tip!
You should look into buying some sort of stand alone sturdy screen to keep water and chemicals off of the surrounding vehicles to keep from doing any extra work👍
that’s real asf bro ur doing the right things !
He's gotta respect it's your business. Hopefully he understands now.
The air compressor is undersized and cycles too often Therefore, it cuts out on high limit/ heat overload. We have this problem, too and the solution is a bigger capacity air tank than the pancake compressors have.
Good evening Hunter check the release valve if it's full of water or if you need oil in it awesome tutorial great job looks great as always be safe God bless William from extreme optimum auto detailing pr
Your air compressors probably cooked, mine would do the same thing and it’s because the actual motor gets to hot and triggers the shut off.
make sure the air compressor cord is directly plug into the generator and if not then generator might not be able to handle all that power. check watts on the air compressor.
Hunter make a video on how to start getting clients as a beginner. I started my business here in New York. I’ve made my business cards talked to people I know I’ve done taken care of a few people’s car it lead to other jobs but now I’ve experienced a stop in clients, I’m on social media. What else should I do? Btw I love your videos keep up the grind 💪
Any thoughts on opening a shop as well?
Just subscribed to your channel. Wishing you lots of success!
Make sure you got a big enough compressor to run what your running before you go to a job fire it up let it build up air so when you get there your ready to go . Make sure you drain it out after a couple times .
Need a bigger compressor, You are hitting the thermal switch because its working to refill the tank constantly. (small tank im guessing)
It's very difficult hiring friends or family. They may show up in a time of need, but both tend to take advantage or manipulate you and the business when opportunity present itself. Try hiring someone that's willing and able instead of a sometimes / maybe type attitude worker.
Great video and the check sheet is definitely a good idea! Working with friends and family is always a tricky situation.
Can you make a video on your water tank setup?
You need to drain the air compressor id do it daily at the end of the day. It fills up with water and it will cause rusting and in turn break the compressor.
Hey Wayne im curious how do you pay your employee that operates independent in the other van? Commission maybe?
Yes sir commission I will do a video soon as I got my other van officially running with new employee
@@HuntersMobileDetailing thanks a lot keep up the great work
Never work friends or family. Thats buisness 101. Buisness is life or gutter it's no place to have personal feelings. I found this out the hard way as many have. One in a dozen may work out. But it can also sink you permanently. When you and your wife and kids depend on it it's just not worth that kind of risk. Great job and setup tho man. Wish you all the luck and hope you thrive.
Hey show you crew to clean inside of whell from top to bottom that way your not pulling brake dust up clean it from top to bottom nice videos I hope to get where yall at one day .
Excellent video Dude , I like the way you Are doing your business I like that , keep it going good bless you
Bro make sure that compressor has room to breathe is sounds like it’s over heating! Make sure it’s free of anything and nothing is on it and fresh air is flowing also maybe you have a small tank 1 gallon maybe? I have 2 4 gallon air tanks in my car that for air suspension but I had this problem before because the compressor kept kicking on and over working it so either upgrade the gallons to bigger size or upgrade compressor hope it helps doesn’t sound electrical issues so that’s a good thing
Only had 1 friend with whom I could work with, unfortunately he went abroad. Both of us could work very well in our own parts of the job and it clicked from day 1.
But tbh , this job is one of those jobs you need to do with passion, not for the money it brings.
He just has to be honest with you and himself, without hard feelings, but he's probably not passionate enough about this.
The moment he just needs the job for the money, he will not show up at a certain point, simple as that.
The lack of system and processes hurts most businesses. However, having these in place and refining overtime saves money and time.
Your compressor is not rated at a 100% duty cycle i.e. you can't run it constantly. It needs periods of cooldown in between uses to prevent thermal overload. Since you're using high volumes of air, you either need a larger compressor so it doesn't have to cycle as much or buy a more expensive compact compressor with a 100% duty cycle. Also relocate the compressor to a place where it has room to vent heat. Near the roof of the van is probably not a good location especially as the sun is beating on the car more and more as the day goes on.
You need a bigger air compressor likely. It shuts off because it's over used for too long of periods.
Keep it up man, if they don’t wanna make that money then don’t put up with it. He’s already doing you wrong as a friend making you feel bad about doing what’s best for your company just because he can’t show up and play his part
We can't detail here in Oklahoma like that. Its illegal to wash the cars outside without having a drain system.
Learned my lesson working with friends and family is a no no. If it works out then your lucky.
Sounds like you need a bigger compressor with a larger tank and higher SCFM to keep up with your airflow requirements. It's probably over heating.
You got a leak in the air hose or valves or something try puting that white tape on the parts that connect that seal gaps
The problem with your air compressor is that you need to invest in a better one sir !
I did thanks ! Lol
This is so helpful sir!!! I'm looking to start my detailing business. Thank You
That compressor might be getting hot in the van. Might need a bigger air tank or fans
Air compressor is probably overheating.. make sure the tank is drained of water and the motor is cool
Most compressors fill to the max psi then they stop once your u drop past a certain point they usuallyturn on and refill think if it was constantly filling with air you would have a potential bomb
Friends & family it's good but it's better to get a stranger that you can molded him your way w the structure of the company then a family member cuz things can go sour that's me cuz I've had the issue as always great job looks awesome great tutorial as always be safe God bless William from extreme optimum auto detailing pr
Bro you NEED that brush from chemical guys to tackle those dog hairs! You brush all the hairs up from the carpet and the vacuum sucks them right in, super fast!!!!! Get you one bro!!!!
Family or not, I'm hiring someone who I can train and will uphold the same standard I do, during a detail..That way i can trust them with the work truck. So I can focus on advertising and booking clients
Wayne. California quite Air Compressor is the way to go. Have had mine over a year & half. No problems @ all. And I run it of a Predator generator like yours. Hope this helps.

I had a compressor and it started acting up like yours. I drained it from the bottom of the tank to release all the build up and its been running fine ever since.
sameee! it’s a auto shut off when it gets full of water in the air tank . needs to be drained fully
3 Main things related to this topic I learned on my failed businesses:
#1 Don't start a business / hire friend/family (lose a relationship over arguing about anything business related)
#2 No payment plan lend out money (chasing balance is never fun, get full payment on writting)
#3 If you can't do a certain job on your business (marketing/website, accounting, labor, etc ), hire someone professional and get a contract and get it done
Is like lending money to a friend or family. It's all good until someone decides to pull one of those on you. The lesson I learnt when I had my tire shop. No storage for their items, no payment plans, no matter who, unless they complete their payments then they get their product, so you don't have to worry about chasing the balance when you have work to do and relationships will always get broken over. Discounts are always awkward too because you are taking time away from your full-paying customers which you might lose. I always just take care of my closest friends and family but for a friend that only appears when they need something. I tell them I am busy and get to the point. I also started business with friends and without actual contract and ownership obligations, someone will slack or some "emergency" stuff will happen and they will lack on their end.
Good stuff Wayne love watching your videos
Employer is responsible for scheduling and notifying employee when they are supposed to work. If you make employees reach out to you at 7am to see if there is work for the day, you will have higher turn over than you should. Make your schedule, then contact employee when adjustments are needed…These days you pretty much need to coddle your employees in order to keep them. Detailing is tough enough as it is, try to make the employment part structured and easy to follow. We are living during the cancel culture / great resignation, do whatever you can to not give your employees a reason to quit.
Air compressors often have this issue! I dont know the fix but i have a couple of them in my work and i almost evrytime run into this problem
Try turning the pressure up on the compressor
It seems like your air compressor is drawing a little too much power. I’m assuming you’re using a generator in your vehicle to power it but those big tanks need quite a bit of electricity to fill back up
Bro you better not fire him he will get the hang of it me and my beautiful wife been detailing but word of mouth we are blessed this crazy Texas weather
Sounds like the air compressor either has too much oil or your filter is clogged
my left ear enjoyed this video
Can you do this kind of work year around I’m living in the Seattle area never been any where else I run a painting business and of course it’s a slow time of the year so I do a buy and sell thing to keep money flowing . Love the content man .
Trying to put people on ! Good ish !! My brother 😎
I like how u give up so much game because the stuff u say and do ppl dnt like to share it. God bless you
You told him right. Give him one last chance and then if it happens again don't hesitate.
