What a crazy turnaround on that paint!! 😱 Correcting Compound and Finishing Polish are available over at detailgeekautocare.com! Have a great weekend everyone!!

[@joelbuchanan471]

You are the BEST Mitch, thanks for all that you do for us.

[@TheRealDebH]

Serious question: I saw your video a while back on how to start your own detailing business. I've started my own last year, but where I'm at, people don't want to pay. I started off only charging $75 for a full interior and exterior detail and I only had 3 people hire me, two of which were family. The least amount of time it has taken to detail a car is 6 hours, which I feel is reasonable, however, people want me to only charge $50 or less. At $75 per vehicle for 6 hours minimum, that's only $12.50 per hour. I make a lot more than that at my regular full time job. I don't want to detail for free. I don't mind charging $75 right now until I get more experience under my belt, but it's hard to get customers because they want to pay so little. I do a great job and from the 3 people I detailed for, I've had a lot of referrals call me, but they all think I am charging too much. I guess my question is, how do you get people to trust in your prices for the great detail job and service instead of thinking you're paying too much?

Hi from France! My 4 year old is obsessed with your videos 😁 I can't clean my car without him. I got him a set of brushes, cloths and sprays so he can help. The result is never good enough for him as he reaches for your standards! When we're done, he starts humming the theme you usually use for the reveal at the end of your videos. Thank you so much for your videos! He calls you "le monsieur qui nettoie dans les voitures" meaning "the man who cleans inside cars" 😊

[@phoenixgarage3101]

Nice to see a change from the disaster details. The colour correction and ceramic coat you did on the black mustang was the whole reason I did my car, which led to me doing a neighbours, and now a nice side hustle detailing out of my garage! Love the Detail Geek, thanks Mitch!

[@lauralake7430]

Kind of a relief to see a car that had a normal looking interior. I mean, my car isnt clean clean, but like, i could offer a ride to one of my mom's friends without dying inside. Nice to know that paint can be corrected!

Properly? Where's the panel edge and trim taping, IPA wipe, residue control, 3" and 1" pad use? Worth checking out the White Details channel 👌

[@ScoobyDrewski]

​@@CaterhamMatt for a daily sentra???

[@HxTurtle]

​@@CaterhamMatt he might've done some stuff off camera. it's also about appropriate efficiency. trim doesn't need to be masked for all polishes and the IPA wipe down is only when you got wax residue on, still. but this paint might've already been pretty clear from such when the car got in. residue control is mainly when you've other vehicles in the garage. and he might've blown out or changed the pad frequently off camera. because he also tries to keep the video length under control.

[@danielroque02]

Mitch, the like button isn't enough to show you how much I love the way this car turned out. After the protection that pait look wet as if you touched it you would smudge the paint job. Awesome bro

Absolutely stunning Mitch, that car is totally spotless, showroom condition, 10 hrs of meticulous attention, you are the detail superstar, cheers from Oz where I live with a BMW that has a peeling clearcoat and has not been cleaned let alone detailed for years, I do have a bad back and survive on a pension so am unable to do much about it, take care, see you next time!!!🥰💕👍💪🚗

[@novembermiss]

As always, excellent work--and even better, you were working on a Sentra! I have a (much older) one, and though I love it, I have found Nissan's paint quality to be lacking. Thanks for showing us step by step how you eliminated those swirls--this car's "before" looks like mine does now, as I do go to automatic car washes. You made the exterior gleam! Also had no idea about the Nismo version--interesting trim. Thanks for another great video for a Friday!

[@rondasrosenthal]

Wow!! This is super impressive!! I didn't know that swirl marks were even removable. Great job, as always!

I know I will never reach Mitch's skill level but watching these videos had made me much more proficient at cleaning and detailing. Thanks Mitch for all of the instruction.

Wow, Mitch made that car look BRAND new. Great job, Mitch! I really enjoy watching your content! 💖✨️

[@WetPumpkin]

Nice detail and also I wanted to ask a request for a video, because I want to get into the business of detailing and I’m sure that there are others want also and yes you have a website but it’s kind of hard to tell which ones you are using when and it’s kind of overwhelming when I see all the products so, what I am asking for (I know you are probably busy but still I think many would love it) is a like hour long video where you detail a car and go in depth about what to buy and when to use what you buy. I’m sure many people would be very interested in a video like that

[@Jako-fh8zg]

Excellent video and amazing detail yet again. What a motor that is. Have you thought of saving your back and doing the mats on a table or something, in your line of work you need to look after that spine - much respect from Cardiff, Wales

[@tekarock]

Great work as always Mitch! Amazing transformation! I hope the owner loved it! 😄

[@superman28607]

I want to say, we need more people like you. Not as a car detailer, but in every single profession. I can hear that you really love your job. People who loves their job are the ones that will do them to perfection. I get sometimes supervisors and bosses can be annoying since i felt that first hand, but i feel that most people shouldn’t let that be a deterrent to make them not enjoy doing something they used to love.

[@HxTurtle]

so, now we know it! "swirl city" is what Mitch calls his automated competition 😂

Absolutely INCREDIBLE. Quick question, is the microfiber cutting disc less “harsh” on the paint? If so, would that always be the go-to disc/pad to use to cut? And does a polishing pad differ as well between other pads? Let me know! Again, wonderful job! 🎉

You should create playlists on here or on the second channel and divide the videos amongst the various car brands you've done! It'd be very interesting to see the number of how many cars of each manufacturer you've done.

[@F3Ibane]

The factory orange peel screams "I'm an economy car playing dress-up!" Still, I'm amazed that you were able to get such damaged paint to look that good that the only obvious flaw is something that was there right off the assembly line. Well done.

That is beautiful. I didn't know the swirls could come out so well. I have a 1999 Honda Civic and I have never taken it through a car wash that has brushes, only spray on or handwash.

[@carsgonewrong746]

Why do you use the wash mitt on the snow foam? I thought the foam lifts up all the dirt and wouldn't that mean you're smearing the dirt around and scratching the paint?

[@TheDetailGeek]

No….99% of the dirt is gone before I foam the vehicle. Foam is mostly just for show (and fun) and to aid in using a detail brush around the vehicle…along with the washing process too. It’s not used to magically “lift” all the dirt off the vehicle….that’s what the pressure washer does 👍🏻
