[@DetailGroove]

What else would you like to see in these types of videos? Links to the tools and products in description! 🔥

[@farawaybushman]

Would love to see product reviews on cheap amazon detailing tools. Pressure washer brushes shop vac etc. And btw keep up the good work man

[@SunikaSKVR]

Maaaaaan idk what else you can do. I legit detail cars and still find myself learning from your videos daily! Thank you for all of your hard work.

[@DetailGroove]

Ayeee- thanks!

[@coryanderson5210]

This the kind of work I do. I got a silver STI as well, so this video was close to home. Keep up the solid work!

[@DetailGroove]

I'm a big Subie fan. I'll take a 04 wagon any day. Thanks for watching!

[@mofromupside2573]

i love watching your video's because theyre informative but also satisfying. People like to watch a video with sometimes less commantary so they can joyful watch step by step the cleaning of it.

[@gunsnsails]

You're killin it! I just started my business. The hardest part for me is getting pics and vids. When I have to stop my rhythm to set up a different camera angle OR come to realize my camera turned itself off...that's damn frustrating!

[@nelsonluyando4725]

Combine with a go pro. Im starting my biz hopefully in 4 months

[@gunsnsails]

@@nelsonluyando4725 start soon! Don't delay! All the "KZbin channel" bs will come when it's time. Getting busy and making some money is where it's at. I've been in business for about 4 months now and I'm starting to make money and improve my garage. Prioritize and you'll do well.

@@gunsnsails i have 0 capital and been thinking of getting a biz loan to cover that, get an llc maybe and insurance. I like to buy stuff cash , maybe get some ot at my current job. Thanks

[@gunsnsails]

@@nelsonluyando4725 I hear ya man. I started with Legal Zoom and got my LLC and all legal shit. It did cost about $2k. And considering I had a few bucks in savings I was able to get my professional equipment, or at least 50% of it. Start small bro. Work your way up. Eventually you'll be able to get some certifications and be listed high on Google. Let me know if you have questions.

Your videos are awesome! This is what I love to see and it motivates me and sharpens up my skills.

[@DetailGroove]

Sheesshh! Thanks Rory

[@Pdot_dagr8]

Love what you’re doing and love seeing how far you came congrats really bro!! Will you start doing more in the field videos again?

[@DetailGroove]

That's the plan! Those style of videos are way better

[@Sallll502]

Awesome Job Thank you for sharing your work. This has to pump up a lot of people to look into This type of Business. Saludos

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks a bunch!

[@dericksosa7981]

Love your work as is! But the label/subtitles you did for the grit size on the headlight restoration helped so maybe do that though out every step?

[@DetailGroove]

Yeahh, since I didn't document every step, I wanted to make it clear on what steps I was actually showing. Maybe I can incorporate that in some way moving forward

[@nelsonluyando4725]

I do 600 then 2000 wet sand, then clear coat. 480 if its really hazy. There's a lot of ways to get the job done. This worked for him. I learned something new!

[@tuest9153]

Explanation on chemicals cost per car & how long it took would be nice for these style videos.

Keep going hard bro

I don't know how yall work in this 100 degree heat with humidity. I cant😥. I'm in San Antonio now, this heat is ridiculous

[@DetailGroove]

Yeah it's no joke. We try to prioritize shop jobs vs mobile jobs for that reason

What is that sander you used to restore the headlights?

Oscar, what type of compound or polish did you use buddy?

[@DetailGroove]

No polishing was done on this vehicle but we typically go with Oberk Cut and Polish

To shampoo the carpet and seat do you recommend bio break citrus solv or flex citrus as prespray????

Hey, I’m just starting my own mobile detail wash Business. I have a question or what is your advice for paint correction? How much do you charge? Or What are your prices? Saludos from San Francisco CA 🤙🏻

[@Ayyekevin]

What did you use after you finished everything on headlight to seal?

[@nelsonluyando4725]

I think ceramic coating. I clear coated mine after wet sanding.

[@cozyluvjo8104]

I’m thinking of starting my own detailing business. How do you get people to pay for those really big prices ? Not only that how do you convince them to give you their car hours upon hours ?

[@nelsonluyando4725]

Im starting my biz in a couple months. Its hard if ur new cuz know one knows you yet right!! I would say once you have confidence in your work ethic and skills, it will reflect as you speak, the way you talk about prices, now having a loyal team can speed up the process and will make you achieve your goal 100%. Loyal Team, Big Dream. Hope it made sense, if not then, he can answer lol! Good luck!

[@YourUserNameSucksx10]

Start with family and friends and with their words of approval you'll have people you don't know contact you by no time. I just started 2021 Nov. Now October 2022, it's going good.

[@verduzcoautodetailing3183]

Why towels and not wash mits??

[@DetailGroove]

We never do a 2-bucket wash method. We use one bucket with multiple wash towels, use each side, and discard them once we're done to a "dirty" bucket

[@99zman]

What do you consider a premium wash?

[@DetailGroove]

That's the name we give it- clean wheels and tires, wash, dry, dress tires, clean exterior glass, clean door jambs

[@99zman]

You can easily find them on Amazon. Just search for 3" sanding block

[@henlolneh]

Do y'all get pressed if the customer doesn't tip?

[@LuisMartinez-et7yl]

Nah that’s why you charge accordingly in case they don’t tip , you’re still happy w your work

[@DetailGroove]

Absolutely not. You should never ever expect a tip. Although it's much appreciated, that's why you charge accordingly for your services.

@@DetailGroove That's the equivalent of a customer who has a problem with your previous work and you tell them "We're running an actual business with hard deadline so unfortunately we can't help you"

[@DetailGroove]

@@youaskedforit7973 Idk if you know this, but being a content creator is completely separate from running a business. The reason I don't get a before/after or a bunch of other shots is because we are focused on getting the vehicle done for the customer. I'm running a detailing business and shoot content for Detail Groove. I didn't bring this vehicle in just to shoot content for Detail Groove.
