4 Ways I Turn Low Paying Jobs Into High Paying Details | Turn $75 into $175

[@15NOV2010]

I have a vehicle with similar paint issues tomorrow. I'm just a word of mouth side income detailer so this video was great for me, thank you.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Fantastic!!

[@caleballen3878]

Those jeep headlights are nasty! Great transformation!

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Thanks Caleb! Yes they were!

[@AirsoftNoah3675]

Loving these types of videos man!, very very usefull tips especially for those like me who are looking to start a detailing business. So please make more!!

[@wilsonautodetailing]

So awesome! Thanks for letting me know Noah!

[@YardmanWillie]

Thanks man, I've now started up selling headlight restore, bumper restore, ceramic coating as extra only not included, been able to make twice as much spare cash! Thanks for the tips

[@Dr.SalvatoreVinciguerra]

Amazing transformation. I bet that just by restoring the black trim it makes the red pop. Red seems like it is a harder color to maintain. Thanks for sharing your ideas on how to restore and clean this jeep. Great job!

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Very True and very observant! Definitely makes the red pop, all the more reason to make this one of the 4 services to add to a job like this. Anything that makes a dramatic visual difference is something to focus on!

[@2wheelneil549]

Thank you SO much for listing out your products!!!

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Absolutely! It's what I am here for!

Great work Luke!!!

Thanks Joey! Appreciate it!

[@gjo323x]

That tire drill brushing is still the silliest thing I've ever seen.

[@smileyjones1742]

Why bro

[@gjo323x]

@@smileyjones1742 Because it doesn't save any time at all compared to taking 30 seconds to manually brush a tire. Watch carefully where the dumb drill brush is going and you see he clearly misses like 30% or more of the tire with it. It's not some magic time saver where if you cared what you were doing you would still have to go back with a brush to scrub the bottom of the tire because the drill brush can't really reach it.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

@@gjo323x Really where I like to use a drill brush is on heavily treaded tires. I would make a strong argument that a medium stiffness drill brush will detail out the tread MUCH faster than a manual approach. The reason I do not worry about brushing out the inner sidewall is simply because the pressure washer will take care of it

[@rauljimenezjr9750]

On the headlights you can use RENEGADE HEAVYCUT. ITS MEANT FOR ALUMINUM RIMS BUT THIS PRODUCT DOSES WONDERS.

[@jillou4981]

Amazing work Wilson. Good technique and very insightful. Thanks.

[@Gnetbird]

Yup, finally a down to reality video. Great info.👍👍

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Hahaha yep! Real world stuff!

[@guillermoperez5964]

Hi Luke, I was wondering what you had gone to college/university for and to see if it helped with your auto detailing business. Thanks for the amazing video and keep up the great work!

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Hey man! So for the first two years I was pre med, I decided to change simply because I knew my passion was entrepreneurship, and while I loved the sciences, medicine isn't what I wanted to spend my life doing. I double majored in Spanish and Communication.

[@guillermoperez5964]

Wilson Auto Detailing I can see that the Spanish paid off in your other videos! And your communication skills are out of this world! I can see how these two skills really help in your detailing business. Thanks for the reply

[@verdantacres4460]

Another detail packed video thank you

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Thanks Philip! Glad to hear it!

[@vinceg6894]

Hey Luke, I love your videos! Quick question though -- I noticed that you dont talk a lot about the underbody of any of your muddy vehicle details. I was hoping to coat the underbody (frame, driveline, pumpkins, etc.) with some sort of protective to help prevent coroding (I take my truck off road often). Do you have any suggestions? Or if possible maybe do an underbody detail video? Thanks for the great videos!

[@dontderockmeriz4546]

I use Mothers mag & aluminum polish & a cordless drill & pad. Takes less than 10 minutes & lasts well over a year. Try it out Luke.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Sweet, thanks man!

[@robinson8140]

What is the best Degreaser to remove grease buildup on a semi truck

[@trapcracker]

This generation of Wranglers are notorious for clear coat failure. Mine has it. Also, you can take the front grill off super easily to access the headlights! It’s just a few plastic clips at the top and bottom corners of the grill. Takes 30 seconds.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Yep! Very true... to both points!

[@ybrambo]

Great vid! I think u should have tried an fallout remover on the barrels of the wheels. It may have been more effective then a standard wheel cleaner

[@wilsonautodetailing]

In this case I don't think so, but certainly it is worth experimenting! When it has corroded at this level really removing it is the best idea

[@goodcat4644]

Thank you, good instructional video.

[@tampacarguy1425]

Thank you for making this video, I battle this regularly

[@kfkf1922]

Nice work Luke however your video may have had more benefit to those new to the industry (you often mention them), if you had shown them how to tell if the clear coat is degraded. This would have facilitated them being able to decide what products to use, how much time the job would take and thus pricing which seem to be some of their most frequently asked questions. Perhaps that was beyond the scope of the video, but then a mention and link to an alternate video could really help. Keep working hard :)

[@blakebranton7360]

Looks amazing i love are wheel rim cleaner i hate the smell and the eye burn but i never have to go over them twice its awesome

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Yep! A lot of times the acidic wheel cleaners can be harsh on the fumes!

[@prennrecaj2957]

Yes this is very helpful thats why i lovenyour channel

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Thanks! Great to hear!

[@clifhellner1493]

Great video Luke! How do you like that headlight restoration kit? Looks fairly easy. How many uses do you get out of a box? Thanks for the content!

[@MasterJRD210]

Just one

[@wilsonautodetailing]

I believe it’s just one as far as I can remember. Thanks for watching man!

[@wrbergner]

Luke, was not giving it a pre-rinse on the body deliberate to avoid more flaking? I highly agree with the Dean method using ONR. It's my #1 go-to in So. Cal. with the heat, plus it leaves an initial coat of wax. Today its 100 degrees-ouch! What age of the vehicle do you use for determining whether to use either Solution Finish vs. Trim Serum? Also, would have been nice to see the finished vehicle. I didn't add it up before, but just by using Solution Finish for the trim and Cerakote Headlite Restoration for the headlights, that bites into your $175 minus $52...Ouch!!! Whether a new or old customer, you've put your good foot forward and likely they will call you back or refer you!

[@christopheboswel3199]

Why minus 52, because Solution Finish is a full bottle which last, but i agree with Cerakote kit, but again its still $24,95 on amazon, and even $44,91 if you get a 2 pack. I think Luke is more concerned by efficiency and the time he is spending on a service, because of getting several vehicule to do in a day, time is money also :) Sometime you spend little more $ to get faster in a process allowing you to cut off time processing :)

[@wilsonautodetailing]

I know... sometimes I get going quickly and leave the garage without taking final video shots! BUMMER! Yes I was deliberately avoiding the pre rinse because of the. paint condition, and full disclosure: Because I get the Cerakote kits for free (perks of making videos) it didn't eat into my margin :D KZbin comes with its advantages hahaha

[@zachmiller2521]

I though the cerakote kit wasn’t supposed to be exposed to water for a few hours? Why not do it last?

[@wilsonautodetailing]

After about 30 minutes there wont be an issue

[@peterjurenovskis5933]

Great video and information. While you put Solution Finish on the bumpers and fenders, did you also use it on the removable top (it looks like the same vinyl/plastic)?

[@wilsonautodetailing]

So the top is actually a different material that doesn't exactly absorb products like solution finish as well, and without doing it well with the right product, it's sometimes easy to get a really non uniform appearance. That being said, in this case the top actually wasn't in bad condition

[@allanhuggett1705]

Great video as always :) what do you listen to when you detail?

[@wilsonautodetailing]

I listen to a lot of business books/podcasts. I'm also a huge fan of Jordan Peterson so I spend a good amount of time listening to him

[@Willbur-91]

I’m confused tho after you wash the jeep and restore the plastics you don’t put anything on the paint??

[@wilsonautodetailing]

In this case the ONR wash will leave a very small layer of wax behind. Point being, because the paint is degrading to such a degree, there are few places left where you can put something like a wax and it still cure correctly

[@Willbur-91]

Wilson Auto Detailing makes sense thank you for replying and good videos by the way I try to catch all of them.

[@tolisarm3372]

Wilson amazing detail job bro! Can you explain plz what's the difference between a solution finish restore and a ceramic coat for plastics? What is preferable?

[@DojiKing]

Solution finish basically restore the black plastic by dying it partly. It brings back the nice dark color. Ceramic coat is more a protective coating to make sure it don’t fade or get damaged. Some ceramic coats like ceratrim do both it restore the color and protects it from future fading and damage. Ceratrim is extremely glossy so it don’t look well with all paint colors. To get a nice matte finish I would go with solution finish to restore it and a nice ceramic coating on top on it to protect it. Go to a junk yard and pull an old plastic fender off and experiment on what restorer and ceramic coat combo give the best matte finish for your liking. If it a black vehicle the ceratrim looks amazing but on a white not so much cause of the glossy finish of it.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

What he said ^^^

[@hotsaucemat]

Is there a link to the pricing app you used? I remember you speaking about it in one of the videos but can't seem to find it. Thanks!

[@garrichelle]

I have been waiting on you to do a Jeep. I was curious what you would use on the fender flares.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Yep! Here it is!

[@cvaldez1991]

Hey Luke, question for you. Is there a big difference between Jax wax HD wheel and tire cleaner and Jax wax ultimate wheel cleaner? Which one would be best to carry?

[@Greg_P611]

Optimum clear coat restorer take 3? I would love to see it

[@rheijne95]

This goes beyond the 'capabilities' of Optimum Clear Coat Restorer, since there's parts without clear coat. What I believe; You need to see Clear Coat Restorer as a new way of refining your clear coat. So instead of 'grinding' away the washing induced marring on the car by removing part of the clear coat, you replentish the clear coat.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Problem is OCCR has to be applied to already existing clear coat :/

[@billpitts1034]

How long do you think it will be before you release a full online detailing course? I'm from Iowa and recently started my own detail business. Your KZbin as well as Miranda have been so encouraging and informative on products and procedures. I always look forward to them and watch everyone so I can grow and get better. Thank you.

What other trim restoration products do you like/use besides solution finish?

[@wilsonautodetailing]

[@BruhHowDidIGetHere]

Hey! What quick detailer would you recommend? something that isn't outrageously priced, which I doubt they are lol

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Assuming you are talking about a quick detailer for the exterior, I would suggest a dilution on ONR with distilled water. That is consistently my favorite "final touch detailer" for the exterior. If you want something more dedicated, you might check out this: bit.ly/2QMVXIu

[@clapzy2943]

Great video I wash cars for a local business and 4 out of 5 the cars have problems like this I try to do my best but for 30 inside and out a piece I think they shouldn't expect too much but they have tried to say I am the reason for the clear coat geting worse as I have been there even though It was like that when i started any tips? I have been careful to only us a a hose on shower mode and using good microfiber towels ect.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Hey man, great questions. My first reaction to something like this is this: This is one of the reasons I don’t teach people to build an auto detailing business with super low prices. You end up attracting people who just aren’t the best. That being said, push through and keep honing your skills. In the beginning, over delivering to build a strong word of mouth reputation is playing the long game

[@clapzy2943]

@@wilsonautodetailing thanks man appreciate the reply I am going it to senior year so it has been hard to get people to trust me I have got a few regular customers charging around 50 for cars in and out but would like to work towards higher prices it just seems people in my area think I am crazy when I tell them a price like that. They say they want there car detailed I tell them my price and what I will do and dont get a response
