[@jinjoz42]

Keep this up man. I love watching detail videos but when it is just music the background I phase out. this was really informative especially for me. Im trying to break into ceramic coating. Im learning how to paint correct and man it's tough at the start but im getting there.

[@josehernandezlopez6414]

Yes i love this style keep it coming. Thank you for sharing all the information and help you provide for us.

[@luisgcasiquet]

Your videos are unique in the sense nobody else share the business perspective in dealing with clients. I believe your comments are useful not only for those interested in detailing but also for those willing to start a business in other services. I enjoy both sides of your videos because i like the art of making cars looking like new, and the business aspect too since I like clients happy

[@audreykoller8006]

Yes! Keep going! Love the business aspect way more! And the voice over throughout the whole video! You are a wealth of knowledge.

[@jonnynava5341]

[@hunnykomb7481]

Man you do a great job making these videos. You keep a fast pace and communicate clearly. Gooood stuff here!

[@Anthony-wx8qr]

Yes, please keep going! I very much enjoy watching your videos. So eloquent and articulate. Thank you for all of your hard work!

[@joeneese5863]

Nice work very interested in starting a side business in ceramic coating. Owned my own detail business many years ago way before ceramics were the new big thing looking to get back into it and wanting to use ceramics as a selling point. Thank you for the info.

[@cioniceis]

Yes, keep going. This was what I was looking for. You’ve earned my subscription.

[@davidgranados5283]

You should start recording their reaction and let us see their reaction👍🏻

[@orlandorivera9467]

Hi Wilson. The new format is helpful on how to run the business.

[@jasonholder6467]

Yes keep going!! I was just thinking that the new format is great.

[@anthonytran3629]

Another way to think of that metaphor of your, the ceramic coating, and the fabric protection is with a sealer for your countertop or wood floor. It will make it easier to clean the spaghetti sauce, but the spaghetti sauce is still there, you still have to clean it.

[@martinsmall8049]

Yes !!!! Keep going my brother !! Can't wait to take you're master class!!!!

[@dewangindia]

Ur way of explanation is awesome. Pls keep posting captions what all the processes u do. Before starting juss notify what is your next step. Thanks

[@donsdetailing5383]

Your new format is excellent

[@gabrielsaucedo8574]

Yes we like this format, im kind of getting tired of products reviews, so this info is like pearls to us who are just starting out. Thanks will

[@gunny007bdf]

Absolutely keep the business side I enjoy it because I already know products but very few even discuss business and money side

[@JoseAlvarez-rz6sl]

Yes I'm sure that we all love you and respect you as well . Your a teacher and a master in my book.

[@joyperez2067]

"a sacrificial layer of protection!" genius Wilson!

[@giancarloroa1488]

Love learning about the business side of it 💪🏽, along with becoming profitable

[@splendidsplinter739]

Yes! Keep this style of video going! Appreciate your channel.

[@HarlemFinest155]

When applying a ceramic coating when is it good to install outdoor or indoor ?

[@hamididdy]

Indoor, especially if you are just starting.

[@rouschautodetail6873]

Ideally always do indoors and let cure overnight. If the job runs into the evening hours and the air is saturated with moisture and you are in the middle of a coating you will be in big trouble. If you are coating in the middle of the day outside the flash time will be almost instant and result in high spots galore. Plus you run the risk of airborne contaminants landing on the surface(dust/pollen/dirt etc...) and will get rubbed in during your final wipe and probably spoil the paint correction steps you did prior. I've tried to do coatings for my clients outdoors against better judgement in the past and learned my lesson.

[@shaundolan5891]

Yes keep going! Great job as always!

[@kingpin1118]

I just did a 2019 f350 this weekend with Gyeon Pure. 900$ Including materials but I did it at his shop. Did his ferrari the weekend before and doing his f450 next weekend. I think the lower price point has gotten me volume but I'd like to be able to charge a higher price at some point.

[@Jahremy]

Yes, keep going! I definitely appreciate this style of video.

[@jalenafu1347]

Yes!! Anyone can wash cars. Having detail in mind, hearing business tips should be your cup of tea!

[@kollerfam2394]

Yes! Keep going!! Love the business info voice over!

[@sphdg]

Your videos are fun to watch. And super easy to digest.

[@baconpower4574]

This format is great, keep it like this :)

[@MyNicknash]

Love the business end to this format! New mobile detailing business 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@CrisbysHangout]

New subscriber here from Texas love ur content bud im considering starting a mobile business detailing business this spring

[@Ptcutz]

Yes keep going once I start my business man giving you all the credit

[@joaquingerardcordero1427]

Yes keep going.. just in case you need more business topics the reason why I haven't started detailing it's because idk what to include in my details and how much I should charge 😣 if you can make a video with like a general idea on packages that would help out a lot.

[@briandraper7630]

You don’t necessarily need packages. Many detailers customize based on what they customer wants. I wouldn’t get stuck on packages just find out the type of car, and what kind of stuff they want and you need to know how long it takes you to do certain jobs. I base mine on $50 an hour

[@joaquingerardcordero1427]

@@briandraper7630 ok I can see that thanks for the tip! I think base mine at 45 for now just to see how people respond to that and I'll adjust later thanks again.

[@CurrituckF150]

I like this type of content, Luke and wouldn't mind a voiceover video of just applying the ceramic coating portion. Thank you for your contribution to the detailing community.

[@robburghardt22]

extremely informative as always. Thank You Luke!

[@mynsxt6]

Luke, I have always been told that this can and should only be done indoors, not I see you bunk that on this big truck, I like the fact that it can be done out side, but surely not under direct sunlight, Cool

[@leandroconde995]

Definitely keep up with these type of videos

[@MrDoM2K9]

Just the video I'm after. I've just been accredited by a company here in the UK and can use their range of ceramics. Super excited to get using them on customer cars

[@dustydavis8829]

I can't begin to tell you how much these videos help! They help with my cleaning business as well. I'm wanting to expand into auto detailing!. So your videos have been absolutely helpful to me in so many ways! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@jakelowk559]

Yea this format is pretty great!

[@yc37work83]

Yes please! Great videos! Thx brother, keep up the great work

[@PatrickCurrie1]

Greetings from Australia. When starting out in any new business it’s vital to understand how to work on your business not just in your business. I like the way you reframe the long held views about what detailing is and how to run it profitably. In fact your commentary could well be adapted to any business that’s starting out. Well done mate. I’m about to start a channel showing how mature age people who can’t get employment because of their age can start a small business on a budget and I will certainly be including links to your channel from time to time as a source of information and inspiration. 👍

[@wadds171]

of course keep going never stop working on ur dream

[@rebelfromva]

Do you have a video highlighting the proper full detail for beginners?

[@qbwillpr]

Great job with video and details. Keep it up ..

[@solusmusic80]

This might be a dumb question but I’ve never applied a ceramic coating so do you have to polish the paint before putting on the ceramic coating or is it just something that is recommended but not needed?

[@JamesLS3]

Yes keep going!! More business content!

[@HobbyistPrinter]

This new format is killing it

[@johangrant9117]

Very helpful information much appreciation

[@briandraper7630]

Did you not paint correct before you applied the ceramic? I’m sure being a farm truck it needed it?

[@AlanSmith-kw1fm]

Awesome content, I would love to see some more product reviews though!

[@themachine8009]

How come u prepped the car before polishing and not after? U r suppose to do it after

[@deanricketts2984]

Yes! Keep going and keep it coming brother! 🤙🏽😎

[@chaserobinson5359]

yes keep going have gained so much info from you

[@wrbergner]

Luke...Keep doing what your doing! Remember to have fun doing it!

[@dlee2203]

Keep goin my guy, this is helping me a lot since I’m just starting

[@limoman4125]

Yes keep going, I just ordered the ceramic coating u suggested off of ur audi ceramic video!! Gonna put on my wifes brand new pathfinder!! Any suggestions would b good!! Watching lots of ur videos

[@joshsosaa]

Keep it up man great content👍🏼

[@MiataPower96]

thanks for the valuable info! what was the spray you were using at the beginning on the truck bed, is it just a degreaser?

[@kevenmontambault5925]

YES KEEP IT UP!! You rock Luke!!!

[@MeddlingMageGR]

Wilson, make a video and tell us if you do this job legally, and if your clients ask for a receipt. How difficult or easy is it to raise a career if you are "illegal"? How did you start at the beginning of your career?

[@pedrolanza4318]

Yes, keep going. Great video. Thanks

[@louislou8233]

Yes,keep doing this style. One more question: do I have to throw away applicator and towels after the ceramic coating job.( I mean traditional ceramic coating not spray ceramic)

[@three90blue77]

If you’re using an applicator block with a small piece of suede wrapped over it; yes, you’ll need to throw that piece of suede away. Once you do one and feel the piece of suede later you’ll understand why...it’s usually stiff as a board if you’re using a good ceramic. If you’re using a microfiber applicator, you might be able to wash/soak it, but make sure it’s not too hard afterwards.

[@jeremygreenwood614]

Yes, really useful and informative video.

[@singledadadventures9809]

Yes keep going. Your doing great sharing the info!

[@Randombrah]

Is it possible to put a ceramic over a paint sealant/wax?

[@damfer5054]

Wowww nice video, question, What will be the price of this work with the detailed interior????? someone knows?????

[@scottchristie3503]

Yep, format is spot on 👍

[@evanplata4577]

[@bobmeyer212]

I was wondering how you clean your buffing pads. I don't remember ever seeing you clean them. How many pads do use on a car?

[@cdt6857]

Yes Keep Going, maybe do speed run on some of videos to keep them less than 25 minutes

[@chrisjones1302]

Yes! Dont stop making these

[@billbuss7542]

What do you charge for a ceramic coating on a normal size sedan?

[@jorgelopez143]

Keep up the good work 👌 great video

[@andrewsprague3855]

Yes keep going! Luke you mentioned you’re using an app to schedule clients in another video, could you share that again?

[@Rideordie-eli]

Andrew Sprague mobile tech rx

[@luisvega8419]

YES keep going awesome content

[@JoaoPauloSilva-bk8rx]

What product are you using inside your pump spray???

[@andrewbrack77]

Keep it going brother 💯

[@leamfuller8544]

Yes, keep the videos coming!

[@tugbankert6581]

Not all coatings are created equal. Opti coat pro uses SiC which is a permanent substrate and will not degrade when properly maintained. Most other coatings us SiO2 which naturally degrades over time even when properly maintained.

[@wilfredgomez2632]

Hi Luke. Could you do both? Sometimes like this video we’d like to know what you used on it. Thank you for sharing.

[@jeffg.5091]

Yes, keep going! And thank you!
