Professional auto detailers have so many resources available now that the auto detailing information overload can sometimes be too much. In this video I break down every single exterior detailing process for you as the professional to compare and contrast your own approach. Why is it important to see how other professional auto detailers approach their exterior detailing? Because you need to shorten your learning curve as a professional auto detailer as much as possible.
Here we go in a very specific exterior detailing order: Wheel well and tire detailing, wheel cleaning, foam cannon, door jamb detailing, agitation wash, bug detailing, clay barring the paint, iron decontamination, detailing specific exterior surfaces that are not universal to every car, hand polishing the windshield, protecting the vehicle's paint, and properly dressing the car tires and wheel wells.
We are also breaking down each and every auto detailing chemical, product, and tool that is necessary to accomplish this type of exterior detailing, and which products I like better than others. When you learn these things, you can make a better business decision for what suits you and YOUR SPECIFIC business. With all the auto detailing information out there, you need to be able to cut through to the NECESSARY information that you need, and that is what this video will do.

I’m 1 week into my detail business , I’m grateful that I’ve had 6 washes so far mostly fam/ friends my trouble has been washing in direct sun light in south Texas (Hot) and getting the exterior full washed with no dirt left behind chemical guys soap just seems so weak I always have to go back and touch up.

[@mlo3423]

Also having a hard time with these big trucks that fling everything on the paint super hard to wash off

[@devin9798]

try using p&s pearl shampoo

[@mlo3423]

Check out Car Craft Auto Detailing. Most in depth Aussie

[@ceavalencia4767]

I concur

[@selwyn13]

😮😮 Damn I didn't realize how overwhelming detailing a car's paint can be. There is sooo much to it

[@myersoutlook141]

Not looking to become a detailer, but I have a new appreciation for ones knowledge and skills. Wish you lived in my area I'd hire you to detail my vehicle.

[@danielduarte7052]

Great video plan to start detailing soon and this helped a lot thanks!

[@elic5355]

The fact you got foam cannon,love it 👍

[@Sandiego61999]

Great video and info 🤙🏻

[@christinadiaz5440]

This helped me out when starting out my own business and I always have great results and happy customers.

[@matthck1]

Do you have any suggestions for a quick adapter for a garden hose to The Sun Joe? Thanks for all of your content. I am getting equipment and chemicals together to start detailing family member's cars to get ready to launch my business in the spring.

[@metcalfemedia7512]

Nice video. Glad you kept the pace quick!

[@nick5965]

Best detailer on KZbin!

[@rsreidjr]

I had an issue using a SuperClean dilution on faded Jeep fenders. The solution stained and you could see where it was sprayed directly on. Is there a better solution such as Ph neutral soap on faded black trim if you are preparing to use a Restore Item such as , Last Coat, Cerakote trim or I’d like to try Solution Finish.

[@ojoaomoutinho]

Hi Wilson, Is it possible for you to create a ONR only complete detailing with ceramics in the interior plastics? The video I have proposed, it is really possible to achive?

[@MyT5_]

I just came to get a little advice before I washed my own car, I had no idea there was a whole science to it 😅

[@lancetaylor6647]

Ive got a clay block coming. Whats your thoughts on them

[@rdeh1678]

Can you tell beginner's to buy in bulk as it save you a ton of money .I strictly only stick with 2 brands bilthamber, and sonax but if I have a super dirty wheel I highly recommend Malco brake off , but only if it's crazy dirty .Also buy products off season in the winter you get the best deals , and always watch repo and Baliff sites I bought my Fortador Pro max for under 800 cdn , and my fav pressure washer a Kranzle k499tst was 560 cdn but was missing all the tips except the one still in the wand . Ps luv your vids and you are a very helpful for those who need direction in making a career out of this for me this is therapy for me . also tell people to try and stand out buy having a gimmick like I use a old ambulance for my transport , but have seen HHR panel vans , or this guy who has a 1940s custom delivery van with flames on it ,

[@barryparker4066]

Wax your door jams , helps with removing dirt latter.

[@supercross977]

I detail in SoCal and use clients’ water and electric supply. would it be beneficial to actually do the entire door jamb process before rinsing the entire vehicle? This way no water dries up on me while I’m doing the door jambs. Even if dirt got back into the door jambs after I already cleaned them and THEN went to rinsing the car I could just spray the excess that found it’s way back in when I go do my rinse.. ?? 🤔🤔

[@tannersaunders4947]

I loved the video! I'm thinking of starting my own detailing business this spring/summer. My only question, is how do you determine prices for you services? This wouldn't be my first time doing detailing it would be my first time doing so as a dedicated business.

[@poppiseedz]

looking at how much the detailing business around you averagely charge + charging by your skills. so don’t overcharge, but don’t undercharge either. find a price that’s right for you and allow flexibility with your price

[@jabulaniharvey]

correct cleaning order

[@codingispower1816]

What brush do you use for the wheel wells?

[@greattallguy]

Great video. FYI I clicked on the guide you said was available and it said “Page Not Found”

[@crztrn1]

can you do a break down of how to price your work from the time you first see the vehicle . you know starting at 135.00 dollars , prices subject to change B.S. please

[@carterholcomb736]

does anyone know the dilution ratio for the hyper wash + degreaser in the foam cannon?

[@user-rg8yu2os6t]

What tools were you using for the door jambs

[@kevinfilms2393]

Where do you get the king attatchment for the foam canon

[@TruthRocker]

I like your fast pace and talking just like me

[@dale5454]

Do you always use Meguiars Hyper Wash for the agitation wash, or are there situations where ONR is all you need? Not sure I understand if/when you use ONR besides as a clay lubricant.

[@District.24]

ONR is a rinseless wash, so it can be used as such, or as a clay lube with the correct dilution (1 oz ONR and 31 oz of distilled water). People keep finding different uses for it.

[@Deathscroll41]

Question: I foam the car again so I have more lubricant when I do my contact wash. I still use the two bucket method, but to reduce the risk of marring or scratching I figure what harm would it do. 🤔 It may be precieved as wasteful as a professional detailer, but I can't see the harm. Respectfully, what are the communities thoughts? I also do this because it buys me time to prevent drying as I make my way around the car vehicle.

[@ezel4119]

you’re fine. I do a contact wash with foam also. Moving the foam around it gets into more deeper areas. It’s kind of wasteful but not a big deal.

[@dregreen1275]

What psi should you use when washing a car? Also, could you possibly put me in the right direction for attachments like the soap spray connector you use?

[@RainbowGamer7]

Great question, I’m waiting for his answer too, tell us luke!!

[@jvg1088]

What wheel brush are you using?

[@nick5965]

I like to do door jams for interior details as well, so when the customer opens the door the first thing they aren't seeing is dirt. I'm sure you feel this way as well.

[@wallanderproductions]

Definitely important

[@user-cy6gz9fj2b]

How do you do so many steps without getting hard water spots?

[@quintenmartinez5286]

Wish you said what cleaner you’re supposed to use for door jams

[@user-rg8yu2os6t]

What was that can you were spraying on the door jambs

[@Nick-ue5bp]

What are the health side affects with the wheel brightener?

[@District.24]

Lung damage if you breath in acid. Wear gloves and a mask when you auto detail for all and any products.

[@Andrewbreeze316]

How much should I charge for an in-depth detail like this?

[@Flam3z1220]

What degree nozzle do you use on your pressure washer?

[@lezamaproductions5997]

15 it looks like .

[@HBpyro]

Is the pdf still available ?

[@edwardyanez8363]

Mcguir for the sponsored ad hahah

[@donmonacelli5383]

I worry if I did the door jambs then how bad would it look if I leave the plastic runner right above? I do that quickly then what about the plastic leading up to the dash? Then the foot pedals? If I was a customer and saw a beautiful door jam below muddy plastic panels then all I would see is a mediocre job. I think it’s better to be very literal no matter how well you communicate. If they don’t like the door jams enough maybe they’ll purchase a full interior.

[@hearts4tv670]

Is he power washing it? Thought that takes the paint off

[@NBAOTD]

Your videos rock and have helped me BUT slow down on your talking brother

[@pauldavid6345]

Why do you use a clay bar? Do you always use it? Why do you use an iron contaminant? I've never heard this before, and I'm 65 y/o. What ever happened to just washing and waxing.

[@noname-mu6kn]

Clay bar is to decontaminate the paint. Get rid of stuff washing can't and the iron contaminant also helps with it as well as being a lubricant for the clay bar

[@jlcain100]

I thought you scrubbed after using the foam cannon?

[@semozaki23]

Imagine pressure washing off the clear coat of your new brand new chrome wheels 💀

[@jamespotts4022]

I see you’ve gone to a 2 bucket method! What’s the reasoning for the change

[@ridgehall1612]

I’ve watched most all of his videos but now I’m getting tired of him pushing the top 12 detailing products junk

[@paulamoguea3235]

Bruh i read the description and each product mentioned is sponsored. Theres also a disclaimer saying that he is not responsible for any damage caused by these products. Bro i have half a mind to unsubscribe. Are you actually teaching us the game bruh. Or setting up your own pockets. Anyways im not trynah hate on the dude. Get all your bucks bro. But im a little disaapointed.

[@sugondeeznuts6612]

Bruh your website is broken. I’ve put my email in like 5 times and still haven’t gotten the email. WASTE OF TIME!!

[@wulver810]

[@mikesmobile30]

I think every detailer dose way too many steps today To get a job done properly

[@sandrosmooth1]

Wouldnt call this a "detailing" this is just a proper CLEANING

[@DoubleUSlade]

It’s called detailing because your putting a lot of detail into your cleaning

[@wingandwang5634]

detailing makes it look brand new as opposed to being Mostly clean

[@liqueurconnoisseur752]

Not enough detail. Just a bunch of blabbering on and on and on. Using words that I don’t know. Naming products so fast that I can’t figure out what it is.

[@P4FElton]

DUDE... talk slower... breath pls... make the info more compact and less extensive... and ffs talk slower...

[@TripleEightss]

Hey Wilson, I really appreciate your channel and all the knowledge you share on detailing. you offer a different perspective than other detailers on youtube . but as someone who’s always just took his car to the wash, sometimes its hard to keep up with you in these tutorials. youll say shit like “of course up next we have iron decontamination” bro… i didnt even know iron decontamination was a thing 30 seconds ago😂 these videos seem like theyre targeted to people who want to learn how to detail but the whole time it sounds like you’re talking to another detailer and you dont take into account that people like me dont understand half the terminology you use and why you use them or do them. would be helpful if you did. either way, thanks for the game🙏
