How We Professionally Wax a Car in 1.5 Hours (and Charge $270)

[@DetailGroove]

What do you do differently in your process?

[@PolishedMobileDetailing503]

I dry the vehicles with opti seal after using ONR and finish with the spray wax for that extra step by hand , i like how your guys use the machine to prep the paint. If the customer is watching it definitely adds that extra mystique to the service.

[@weave4181]

If no polishing I'd just clay mitt with beadmaker or similar and skip paint prep and orbital wax, save a ton of time same result imo. Why are sticking with liquid wax?

[@excessivemedia9295]

So you're using a liquid wax.. can I just use the same wax that's already included in the shampoo is that considered a wash and wax.. also can you elaborate on how cold it is for your and your employees fingers in the hands washing in these cold weathers.. I'm in California and in the morning around 8:00 a.m. 9:00 a.m. it's still 50° or 45° weather and my hands freeze .

Starting literally from the bottom/ground zero . Thanks for all the info. As always

[@chrisspencer8815]

Finally someone who doesn't use the two bucket method with one mit. Multiple clothes folded and discarded is the best way to keep from scratching the paint. Go hard or go home!

[@austinpruett6110]

@@DetailGroove Too much competition in the area, some people charging as little as 100 for inside and out details. This is just a side gig for me - who knows though that could change in the future...

if we don’t have the polish machine, what is the to use wax on car. Wash, iron remover, clay bar and wax ?? İs this way good or not ?

Question, is it okay to use the customers water and electricity?

[@DetailGroove]

Absolutely!!

[@miguel90744]

Yes most costumers don’t mind

[@PolishedMobileDetailing503]

I would discuss it first but yes it’s totally acceptable

[@maxgustafson4629]

I have never had a problem with it.

i do all the time until i have my own electric and water supply. just ask if you can have access to a water supply and outlet. thats it

Hello great video. When I watched this video I was thinking what about a process for big trucks that have all types of dirt and grime stuck to the paint and wheels.

[@owenlozano6492]

What clay lubricant did you use in the sprayer? Just detail spray?

[@Mumush72]

great content. Question, do you let the sealant cure for a period of time?

[@OfficialSkankHunt42]

Aye man huge question. Do I need to bring a source of water with me or is it ok if I hook my mobile pressure washer up to someone’s hose? So far I’ve had no issues but I feel like it’s unprofessional? What are your thoughts?

[@codypatrula13]

Brother it’s not unprofessional. If you act and talk and appear professional literally nobody will give a fuck. When you get more customers, make more money and feel comfortable making bigger purchases. Then you do that. You go at your pace. Go get it brother!!

[@davebudd1429]

you don't show the part where you clayed, or describe it.

Nice detailing video but it was a crappy Honda 😂. Transmission and electrical issues.

We do the exact same process and get it done with 1 guy in the exact same time, most of the time even quicker. You're not being more efficient, you're just wasting a ridiculous amount of money on labor for no reason.

That is crazy I can only charge $45 for essentially the same thing. The only difference is I just use spray sealant and no polish work but I spend the same time and do everything else the same and cannot get anybody for exterior I barely get people but I also am in Indianapolis, IN

[@MahendraSingh-rp6er]

yeah and if i charge a little bit more people bitch and wanna haggle the price, dont wanna pay

[@tillmandetailing]

It depends on what state you live in, among a few other things, but in Arizona, this would cost $500 at a lot of companies. Having employees definitely helps with the time. I’m just one girl so this’ll take up a whole day for me, but that may be because I want everything to be perfect and can get into that “ocd” point.

[@AnthonySanchez-oh9do]

@@tillmandetailing same I spend a lot of time going over the little imperfections but also you gotta give what you are getting paid for. That’s is crazy about the 500 though might need to move this detailing thing to another state!

@@MahendraSingh-rp6er lmao yes seriously

[@spiritualjatt]

you didnt explain in detail how to wax a car but cool video

[@thatdude6043]

Why should you clay before waxing, doesn't the clay cause marring? And wax won't remove that. (Asking a genuine question not hating) Would appreciate some feedback as I'm learning too.

[@brandomedia8711]

Surface contaminants don’t allow for the wax to fully bond with the surface so Clay bar helps that bond while also getting rid of the sand paper feeling. People love to feel that paint too when their car is waxed so that’s another thing. The marring is only really going to be noticeable when you are using a clay bar. Clay mitts like they were using tend to leave a lot less marring.

[@DetailGroove]

Yes, it does, but not every customer cares about that. You really have to communicate and understand what your customers wants

[@thatdude6043]

@@DetailGroove okay thanks for your response

[@kjax0630]

So if you work 8 hours you get 4 cars done (on a good day) with 3 guys. You make over 1k a day, probably pay your guys around 150 a day, so you pocket 700 a day minus product. So you make like around 400 a day? 6 days a week that's 2400/week. You can clear at least 7-8k a month I'm guessing?
