Guys lets make this man richer by buying more of his products. If anyone deserves a profitable business is Larry. Instead of advertising his products by saying the names of his products every 15 secs, he tells you how to do the job even if it doesn't involve using his products. Larry you done change the game player!

Larry, I'm just an engineering student. I don't detail cars, but I love your videos. I appreciate you sharing your business sense with us in this video. I really enjoyed it. Especially when you talked about your early days when you would go beyond what the customer wanted. And how you no longer do that to balance work with your life. I just like to hear tips like these from successful business owners. Thanks a lot.

You're getting the "high-end" and boutique detailers everywhere, more and more business. I've had numerous customers mention that they saw your youtube videos when they contacted me...so a sincere thank you!

Dude what you say is 100. I'm an automotive tech and specialize on higher end cars myself. When I started my independent career, there was no time for extracurricular activity. I was a slave to my trade. That is true of any person trying to get started. It's hard on your relationships, but the way I see it, if the person you are with cannot support you, then you are probably better off without them.

Great job, im a PDR technician and was just like you, i would go way 2 far, do to much at first, sometimes overcharging for something the customer probably dint even care about as much as i did. Sometimes Leaving the customer somewhat unhappy for not meeting his needs fully! I enjoy watching someone that really uses his head to understand every aspect of what he is doing, i think doing that is what makes you good and ultimately faster because your understanding and know how helps you bypass time wasting steps! Love the the vids keep em coming

You are absolutely right about doing what the clients wants, that way you are not missing out on other things i.e. family moments. Believe me I did it my self and I came around to the same outcome as you. In the pass I just needed to perform and be the best that I could be in my work. Now after 23 years of hard work, I finally saw the light and only do what is needed to be done to be able to look my self in the mirror and be proud of my work going further than that is just not healthy. Some guys never learn that and miss out on a good part of there life. funny enough, I'm not a big fan of cleaning my car, I just enjoy to learn new stuff and I respect the methods and the professionalism that you are putting in your vids. Some of your tricks are very handy for us guys leaving in Quebec, lots of salt on the roads. Salut!

Very good advice. I used to work as a computer builder and repairer and I would often go the extra mile to make things a little better for the customer. It wouldn't always work out that way, sometimes I'd do something that they actually didn't want done or just made a mistake. The more unnecessary work you do the more risk there is of making a mistake. Then you've gotta deal with that and fix it.

Exactly. It's the "No good deed goes unpunished." Customers don't want to hear you did extra work that didn't add to the job. Customers want the job that was agreed on, and for it to look as you promised. -I learned the hard way, too.

Larry, Awesome job every time and extremely helpful tips! Unfortunately, as a new detailer, I'm stuck at doing more for the customer and this is bringing me to a point of giving up! Spending more time and product on a car where the customer might not even recognize the extra 20% you do is not worth it anymore, just like you mentioned! Its tough to break the habit but somehow I'll learn my way out of it, thanks to you sir!

I enjoy watching ur videos. I get into them so much I think because, the more I watch, I'm seeing that you thoroughly think things out and consider what is actually taking place in the materials, products, or equipment that you are using just as I do. Your mind seems to think within the same lines as mine. The way you explain things and think about how they work and perform a certain task is spot on, in my opinion. Some people think I give things way to much thought sometimes and.....well, I have to agree on some occasions. But that's just how I am. And that's the reason I get the results that I do (through trial and error of course). You do good work from what I can see. Being someone who is, at times, slightly weary and unsure of which direction and the steps it takes to be a success in this business, I must commend you on ur sucsess and what you have accomplished so far. You seem to be a person who wishes to never stop learning and never claims to know all, just as I. That makes for good things. Keep it up and plz continue to post videos. If you have any suggestions for a relatively "new" detailer and tips on creating successful business, I would be happy to hear them. Thanks.

I can relate Matt, I obsess over the little details. I don't think it's a bad thing at all. As Larry shows it's just a matter of making sure it's what the customer wants. In my case I work on my own stuff as a hobby and I'm very picky so the only person I have to please is myself and sometimes I fail at that too :).

yeah for sure, if you got car thats going to need paint correction, is it worth going the whole foam thing,. to me, the foam lance is for keeping a perfect car , perfect! if your doing a full detail on a car then id hit it with APC like g101 or another citrus pre wash and just use the 2 bucket method. then paint correct it. then you look after it by going crazy with the foam etc. great vid larry. come to WAXSTOCK UK, coventry 27th july 2014

You'll have people wondering why you included a service for someone else and not for them, or worse... you have a repeat customer that you did a little extra work for earlier and didn't do it again.

Damn Larry, excellent job on this F550. the 550 and 575 are 2 of my all time favorite ferarris for some reason........oh, yea the F40 would make me giggily also. along with the F50......the LaFerrari and Enzo not so much. sorry Ferrari, you kinda lost your appeal with me after F50, 550, and 575. Good news though. love the Ferarri FF and F12. Anyways back to you Larry, you said you hope be be liek a certain auto detailer? News Flash bro, your the best auto detailer I've ever seen and I'm sure other would agree. I've seen loads of videos of auto details who cant touch you. especially the so call professionals I deal with in my home town. I consider myself an Novice auto detailer and I walk circles around most pros around my town. Matter of a fact I'm the most talked about moble detailer they dont like. :o) Think about it though. I've been detailing for only 21 months nowand already did a detail for a movie. Check it out, Homefront by Silvester Stallone. That gold 1982 Rolls Royce Silver Spur II that's in the movie I detailed the day before the shoot just for the movie. Thsat was last October or about 6 months into my detailing business. I'm like you and really enjoy what I do......needless to say once word got out about that detail the pros kinda turned a stiff lip toward my business name. You do outstanding work Larry and your the guy I wanna be like within the next 2-5yrs time. Thanks for all your videos have tought me and others. If it werent for your videos I wouldn't be the auto detailer I am today. Again thanks!
