About This Video:
Professional auto detailing is such a case by case, problem solving job, that having videos like this to reference may be a huge help. Here I am detailing a maintenance client’s vehicle. I see this Pathfinder about once a month, and it takes me somewhere around an hour to detail the interior, which comes out to be well over $100 an hour. In gearing your business toward targeting the right kind of clientele, you can not only exponentially grow the business, but also your income. My hope for this video is that it helps you see the simple process that I use in order to quickly, and efficiently get through my maintenance clients, as well as the products and tools necessary to do so. Here is as real as it gets!

I think the best part about your job is that you are on your own and no boss giving you crap all day.

[@tomdeininger7379]

I should've done this for a living, no place to do it. I love cleaning cars, and the idea of being alone, on my own-fantastic.

[@MarkSegree]

Facts. Easy way to start is to go around to small dealerships and ask if they need some cars done. They are willing to pay the price what the local car wash charges but usually ask for discount on volume like extra services. Basically dont charge for a engine wash and if you got a wax job, take out the obvious scuffs and scratches without padding the bill. If you want the bigger dealerships you will need to get a interact machine. It's not the highest paying but its dependable work and loads of practice as you can generally get away with messing something up on a dealer's car as they themselves probably never even seen the car up close

True.. he also didn't shampoo the seats or mats which would have significantly added to this time.

Xycan and you have to consider this car is not bad at all.

[@oliveraton86]

You guys are right, carpets weren’t not filthy at all. Sometimes just vaccum a bad one takes like half an hour or more and He didn’t even touch the seats.

[@miwanna4139]

Seats could be coated with fabric coat for all we know. Like gtechniq that lasts for years, then there is no need to touch the seats. if it was not coated , and he would clean the seats and floormats/ carpets with steamer and extractor. It would go pretty fast

[@xycan8734]

Thanks a ton for this vid Luke. Honestly I feel like this kind of video brings me the most value. I'd love to see one of exterior work too. Even though it may SEEM boring it actually conveys a ton of information to people with the patience and especially for a beginner like myself.

[@jonahjones1702]

Three times I've watched this now when lay in bed and three times I've never made it to the end. So relaxing. Trying to start up my own detailing/valeting business as its something I really like doing. I detail my friends two land rovers and his Honda civic once a month (for free obviously) with a lot of makeshift gear (small paint brushes and make up brushes instead of detailing brushes) and I really enjoy doing it. Yourself, detailing is JC and a channel called car cleaning guru as well as a handful of others have inspired me to attempt starting up. Watching your videos on detailing cheaply etc are a massive help Luke. Thank you

[@997GURU]

Hehehe, this looks like me on a sunday morning detailing my Porsche 911, actually i have picked up a trick or two from Luke the last couple of years, very professional

[@fernychubstv9056]

Haha same here on Saturday mornings with my rolls Royce

[@xycan8734]

I don't have a ton of experience but I do have a steamer and with what I've done so far I question why not just steam instead of using the APC and detail brush for most things? It liquefies the grease, blasts the dirt out from the crevices, nooks, etc. You just have to use enough common sense not to hold it right up against the electronics or hold it there for to long. It basically does what the APC and brush are doing anyways no? You may not get it to 100% but we're really splitting hairs here.. Seems like a solid 95% plus and it skips a step.. am I wrong? When I go to dress the console at the end then I whip out my detail brush to do it and it'll get that last 5%.. seems like a great method.

[@NickVetter]

I sometimes just spray apc which ads half a second and then go around with my steamer with the brush attachment. Best of both worlds.

[@gingabread2690]

So glad i watched this. I've learned a lot of things from your videos. What I have struggled with the most is maintaining an order of operations. You have really helped me with that.

[@truthwarrior1601]

One of the processes i use when detailing is i use a gallon chemical sprayer with a solution super clean 4:1 with a capful of ONR wash-n-wax added to it then spray around the door jambs and runners and trunk hinge areas then spray clean with water. Same for engine.

[@NickVetter]

Does the onr help when wiping up the cleaner? When I use super clean it always leave like a residue or smear looks

[@hermesmedia543]

What is this? Dripping water using a steamer doing stuff I can do with a vacuum and detail brushes. Not to mention the videos an hour long 20 minutes longer then my longest maintenance detail with a wash? Also you spent like 25 minutes in the drivers seat cleaning to the door panel then after you sprayed the door Jams with a hose?

[@MrBroreo]

What did you use for the inside of the windshield? I'm having issues with streaks that I don't notice until the sun comes through.

[@dustinpomeroy8817]

Use rags that haven't been hit with fabric softener

[@vaughnharrison1921]

Mr Clean Magic Eraser scrub pad and an alcohol based cleaner works perfect. Buff with a microfiber towel

[@MrBroreo]

@@vaughnharrison1921 Just used warm water with the magic eraser and the results are amazing. Of course the morning after I did the inside and outside, a bird dumped half it's body weight's worth of poo on it.

[@SuperFadango]

you should do before and after results that would be awesome. Keep it up.

[@rsc.visuals]

just curious some of us detailers use air compressors some don’t why don’t you? good work though super quick!

[@NickVetter]

He has talked about using a tornador before. He also has a really nice steamer and there was not a lot of debris to blow out. If he would have set up a compressor it would have taken him longer than not using it.

[@flipping_for_funds]

Is that a scotch brite pad you’re using on the steering wheel, shift knob and armrest?

[@Jordan-sv3pu]

Dude just spent 6 minutes on the steering wheel alone 😂

[@BryanMc17]

What is that blue rag made of that you use on the steering wheel? Seems more coarse and really gets into the grooves where there’s a ton of build up from your hands

Good morning brother, love the video. Quick couple questions for ya, I know you use both Meg's APC and Super Clean. Which do you use more and whats the determining factor between which to use? Dirtier=Super Clean? Or Dirtier=Meg's APC? Also do you ever use or recommend anything for scent for interior for example spray a nice smelling laundry detergent and steam clean with it along with either APC? Last question, when doing full interior and exterior which do you prefer to clean first ext or int? Thanks again for all your knowlege and videos! God Bless!

Why do so many detailers use the crevice vac attachment to vac the entire car? It doesn't seem like you are actually vacuuming the entire surface, but just touching it up. I use a horsehair vac attachment and it lifts the dirt, picks up junk and lifts the nap of the carpet. Any reason most use the crevice tool? Looks good when you are done, just asking.

[@xycan8734]

Yea great question man.. I use a horse hair attachment to vacuum the dash, console etc. before I start.. its fast and whats the use throwing a detail brush and cleaner on dust that you can suck up in 2 seconds? I also use an air driven small beater head and it rocks ass for seats, carpets, and mats.. I only use the crevice tool for well.. crevices lol

[@xycan8734]

Are you saying you use the horsehair to vac everything? seats, carpets mats too?

[@macfamily5693]

@@xycan8734 Yes, I use one longer/retangular horsehair vac attachment for seats, carpet and sometimes dash, NOT floor mats. My floormats are Weather T. brand and I just wipe and condition them outside of the car.

I use horsehair brush on dash and console but crevice tool on all carpet and seats. I feel like the smaller/narrower end of the tool gets more suction

Hi Luke. I gues I watched the most of your interior vidz. I found it very practical. Very straight forward compared with a lot of other "youtube car detailers". Thnx for that. I wondered if there is a method to check if the upholestry,/fabric/leather could stand up against a steamer? How do you check that to prevend damaging the seats? Because you talked in your vidz about lexus seats and other high-end cars. But is there a way to check it beforehand on all different car seats? And also have you ever used a steamer that can also vacuum at the same time? And what are your thougts about them? I already subscribed and I'm looking forward to see your vidz of the exterior including thewaxing/sealing/ polishing part. Greetz from Holland!

[@HD998]

Fascinating to watch your process. Seems Most of the grunge on autos is around the contact areas. Steering wheels, buttons etc. Does the steam not affect electronics in anyway. I wondered about that? I like to hit everything with compressed air and brush simultaneously, keeping moisture to a minimum around buttons. By watching this, it leads me to believe that these buttons are more robust and resist more moisture than previously thought?

[@NerdTech007]

Mark Jansen You must use destilled water on the steamer to prevent damage on electronics

[@xycan8734]

@@NerdTech007 interesting.. may I ask why?
