Are You Following The Detailer's Rules!?

[@jawbreaker007]

This is a topic long overdue. I'm a mobile detailer in South Florida. I work everything from a Honda Civic to Ferrari's. I perform everything from interior/exterior details to full paint correction and coatings. My clients appreciate my high level of awareness and attention to detailing. That's why I'm successful. I don't look down on any other detailers. We're all out here to make a living. 🍻

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

Exactly! Thanks for sharing!

[@ShineYourLightDetailing]

Bam! Real, positive, accurate & respectful Is the only way to go. Thank you so much Phil! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@dontridedirtydrd2282]

Learn from Tim also 👍

[@kimnewling5728]

Ok. The few folks I watch on utube are very positive and fun. I find the "community " of detailers, whether pros or not, are very nice and supportive. One detailer even walked me thru a first time ceramic coating I was doing because I was nervous. Fantastic people! Keep the videos coming Phil, I'm really learning and having a blast! Say hi to the wife.

[@chrismurphy783]

You are so right. I distance myself from negative people. I strive to make every interaction a positive experience. Am I 100% successful in that endeavor? No but I refuse to give up. It is one of the most important lessons that I have passed on to my children. Thank you Phil for all that you do!

[@romualdorodriguezjr.9562]

[@EVERYDAYLAWNCARE]

Sir, you have truly hit the biggest nail in this work that people like us and yourself and your wife do. We love what we do and it really makes you me soooooo mad how BIG DOGS or those Smarta$$ garage detailers love to ACT like their crap doesn’t stink but love to put others down. Let us not forget where we came from! Amazing speech sir

Good advice i have learn alot from different detailers i like yours cause you show step by step in detailing

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

Thanks 👍

[@dontridedirtydrd2282]

I’m like a sponge I watch and learn from so many not just on you tube but in real life situations. But I have leaned a lot from you .... like today I mentioned you in a video used stoner trim for the 1st time . Really liked it . Thanks Phil

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

You are so welcome!

[@user-kp6ld8qg6w]

Anytime you make something look better on a vehicle is detailing to me.lol One hell of a message. Nice job

[@evolutionautodetailingcera3029]

Well said I am just starting out my own business I worked at one of the biggest shops in my home town and have 4 years there and the bullying I hear you there happens to me everyday and discourages me so much and makes it so hard to stay positive all because I have done more for myself in a month of being on my own then in the 4 years I was there this is such a real truth video much respect for bringing this up

[@invertsparadise7594]

I love your content. Aside from filming invertebrates for KZbin content I have also been wanting to start a mobile detailing business. Your videos motivated me to make that move. Thank you very much for the inspiration and motivation

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

Thanks man! Your videos are cool. Love the Scorpion headshot one!

[@MikesAutoDetailing]

Fantastic video,.Phil you are an excellent person to look up too

[@XtremeproDetailers]

I’m a Detailer I just help other people starting there business give them advice never bash because you never know they might teach you something one day

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

Excellent point!

[@ryanmulhearn8843]

Truth bombs 💣 from Phil! Great video!

[@vetteboy1024]

Great video and advice. I have the same mindset as you do, about this type of negativity. I hope a lot of people listen to this and follow your advice

[@kennovakowski1246]

Well said Phil. Enjoyed your video. 👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦

[@mickyfinns]

Phil, you’re the man 👍🏼

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

No YOU are!! 😎👍🏼

[@Shamon831]

Humble at its finest and I would love to work with you guys

[@ElTorro76]

Thank you Sir! That was a very informative and valuable video to me. I’m starting my own mobile auto detailing business. I’m very new to the game. Thank you for the great video I appreciate it!

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

You’re welcome!!

[@LaRoseDetails]

I do paint correction and ceramic coating, but honestly that isn’t REALLY detailing. Whoever said that is only detailing is a fool. Detailing is the process of getting the cars details completely cleaned. I feel more of interior detailing is really detailing..idk if this makes sense lol

[@MirandaDetailing]

Yeah I believe the term detailing is very subjective and everyone has their definitions of what it is. Doesn’t really matter to me though.

[@GloveBox]

Well said! 🙏

[@RaldasDetails]

Amazing brother! 👍🏼

[@kevinb7058]

100% Phil 👍 The proof is in the pudding. Once a job is done correctly who cares about what “label” people put on it 👍

[@jonruelas1011]

Your awesome Phil. Keep up the great video’s

[@aarons7267]

Awsome video Phill, same goes for the tech industry; I see a lot of negative feedback in the tech industry if you use a certain phone brand than the other guys.

[@antranekkrekorian6960]

Thank you very much sir for this information I appreciate your help the way you explain it it’s very nice and I was like call you the professional thank you sir and you have a nice day

[@no_lft_shft]

I am wanting to start a KZbin channel about my journey starting a detailing business. I'll call it from the ground up. It's just I'm new to Virginia Beach and new to detailing and new to making KZbin videos lol. Which is why I'm still sitting on my hands

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

thats awesome man! Do it!

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Didn't see this one. I will be trying to be 1st from now on too.👌👍 thanks for it Phil 👌👍 Negativity will come back as Karma too.

[@Mr.grubby]

I like detailing but polishing not so much although I do like the end result

[@ddautodetailing]

👍👍👍

[@thebadgladdadd5218]

I've actually seen all of Larry's videos. And I still use some of his techniques today as well. Kevin brown aka: buffdaddy actually took time out to call me one time to answer a question for me. I still have his cell number. Really cool guy

[@marioskosmidhs9454]

Great video Phil

[@Carlos.Rivera]

Hey Phill, talk about chemicals. If you pay top chemicals doesnt meam you will get pro-end finish. I say to myself, if i put a pair of Jordans doesnt mean i could play like him

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

Hi. Great point!! 🤣. Wouldn’t that be awesome if you could just all buy Rupes Polishers and polish paint like Larry from Ammo or Kevin Brown from Buff Daddy? 😁

[@Carlos.Rivera]

@@thedetailingworkshop2689 you stole my thoughts about polishers!!

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

🤣🤣🤣

[@billytweed1924]

If a vehicle has the matte black stripes on hood, how would you protect the finish of the decal? Thank you for a reply

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

Hi. Matte and Satin vinyl can be waxed and sealant using modern day liquid and sprays. The only thing that shouldn't be done to them is actual polishing. Even ceramic coatings can be applied to matte/satin vinyl with no issues of making them glossy.

[@isaacpena5707]

I love u even more! Ha ha Preach brother preach!

[@schnauzermom9325]

I hired a car washer that advertised and charged like a Detailer. I made a bad review on his website and he removed all reviews. He was unable to clean my alloy rims. He called it rust that could not be removed for a $250 “detail”. I cleaned it using a household Clorox wipe.

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

Ohh wow. Sorry to here that. Who knows what his reasoning was, but I have certainly come across wheels that could not be cleaned no matter what, they would have to be refurbished. Sorry you had that experience.

[@verdantacres4460]

Great video. You need to learn and adapt to your environment and skills.

[@Carlos.Rivera]

Ding ding. You nail it

[@sunilraj7692]

Awesome common sense video! Only a short while ago everyone was a hack not removing 95% of defects on paint. Now it's all one step and preserving paint thickness. A very fickle industry. It only takes one so called high end detailer to come with a new technique and you'll see the usual suspects within days saying the same thing!

[@detailgrandma22]

How weird. You made this a year ago. And I entered Detailing 6 months ago and it's still happening. I made a video just a couple months ago about that very same problem that I have run into and even watched hapoen to other newbies in a Facebook group. Since then I've left ALL fb groups and pages due to that behavior. The attacking of new guys is out of control. Being a woman this made me angry. I just left the Trucking Industry after almost 25 yrs so I've been dealing the issues of being a woman in a man's field. Here I come to an accidental find in Detailing and I am literally thinking how easy trucking was compared to what I've dealt with by other detailers. Some experienced detailers are down right mean. My video was on a young man who was starting out and had very little equipment and no money to buy equipment.. He wanted to know a good way to clean floor mats. When I saw the 48 comments of people telling him he should've NEVER even started. He was going to make a fool of himself. Ignoring the information in his post and telling him to go buy this $1500 extractor. I private messaged him and told him why I won't comment publicly to him and explained what I do. Being new to the biz myself I don't have resources to have fancy equipment either. The equipment I have at the car lot belongs to my dad. But I still can't use it in every situation. So in my video I display how I do it without the equipment and shared it to him. I haven't heard from him lately but I hope he is doing well and still plowing forward. But I will say I have questioned my place here in Detailing until I realized, hey I'm 51 years old. I've been through more in life than those young thugs so I'm gonna plow forward and find my way. I will continue to watch SOME youtubers to learn and grow but I won't be a part of Detailing groups on social media ever again. Those people will just tear you down.

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

Yeah It's sad how this community is sometimes, I follow only a few detailers that I know personally on FB and stopped wasting my time on forums and groups like that. I have found that it's not real professional detailers who own business on those forums and groups, it's mostly elitist enthusiasts with inflated egos. VERY bad place to be, extremely toxic to each other and new people who want to join and just learn. I speak out against them all the time as you may well know. So forget them and YOU do what YOU need to do my fellow detailer! Keep on rocking it!

[@makecodgreatagain6049]

You should work on talking 1.75 faster.. only way to get through a vid of yours..

[@MirandaDetailing]

Sorry man….teaching takes time…. I hate that social media has corrupted how people learn. 2-3 minutes is not enough time to learn anything of substance. Sorry for taking time. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@makecodgreatagain6049]

@@MirandaDetailing i did come on a bit strong and i must say i respect the word choice regardless of that. I’ll revise it to say maintain the slower pace for points of emphasis, but try to speed up when you mention things that we tend to hear video after video. Good day to you man👍

[@MirandaDetailing]

@@makecodgreatagain6049 understood. Actually I’m trying something new. For more info and longer explanations I’m going to do that context on my Detailing Workshop channel and future BLOG on my new website. That way if people want more info and answers to questions they can go to those sources. Do you think that would work?

[@Skdjiejxuje]

The amount of drama going on currently in the KZbin detailing world is so funny to me. Like jeez we are just cleaning cars nothing for anyone to brag about.

[@thedetailingworkshop2689]

HAHA I know right! Reviews whether paid or not are ALL bias...no matter what. It's all based on opinion and the variables of demographic, weather, vehicles, etc are so numerous that even the "best testing" still don't reveal true results across the board...Its ALWAYS bias PERIOD. I don't even rely on reviews anymore. People should get the product for themselves and make their own decisions. It's sad....I said my peace...I'll move on.
