This method isn’t the only way to start up a successful detailing business, it’s simply the blueprint for what worked for me! Make sure you let me know your ideas for future videos, business related or otherwise!!

The Detail Geek 2 Very cool of you to share your advice on how to start up a business! I love when successful people want to see others be successful. It’s a huge reflection on what type of person you are. I really enjoy your channel. Ive learned soooo much! I like cleaning my own vehicles. I don’t do it nearly as often as I should. (Not for being lazy, but just that I have limits on how much I can move about in a day and not be in pain) But I keep my vehicles clean. No trash, food or junk, It’s mainly just dog hair from my service dog. I really want to try a wax or ceramic or some sort of coating for my paint. I’ve never done that before. I’m just worried I’d get part way in and not be able to physically finish it. I have a genetic condition called Elhers Danlos Syndrome (and a few co-morbid health issues that go with it) which causes my joints to dislocate and connective tissues to tear. So I have to be very careful when moving about. More recently my Dr’s are trying to figure out which autoimmune disorder I have. When I get muscle fatigue I get a terrible almost hive like reaction on my skin over the muscle that’s fatigued and it’s very painful. Is doing some sort of a “sealant/wax” something I could do section by section over a few days or even a months time? Or will it not look right at the end? What coating would you recommend for using for a first timer? I have all the stuff from the description box that I’d need to do it in my amazon cart to do it, but I just don’t want to click buy and waste a lot of $ until I know if it’s something I can realistically do. Or if I should just break down and pay the professional in my area to do it. I really do like doing this stuff myself if I can. It keeps me moving and gives me something to do and be proud of when it’s finished.

@@Bummer1980 I have fibromyalgia, shoulder/back degeneration and various health issues so I know what you mean. I also love doing cleaning myself (half of my degeneration is years of labor) and the best advice I can tell you, is use a lot of tools like he does. You can get a buffer/polisher to seal your car, pressure washer to rinse, and attachments on the pressure washer to wash the car. Steamers and hand held scrubbers help for the inside, including your home. 😀

Can you do a video with a walkthrough of the products you use and how to use them? Talking through the different wheel brushes as well as with cleaners you use and when. For instance, I am new to thoroughly detailing my own car and I've never waxed it before but you've used different waxes, etc for different purposes and I'd like some help on figuring out the best for black paint with swirls and scratches. I love your content and look forward to your videos each week and I would like to hear more of the why one product over another. Aloha!

I started a residential cleaning business a few years ago and while I loved making my own schedule and really enjoyed the work I was doing, because businesses undercut so much I could not get a decent paying client. They truly believed that a house cleaner deserved at most $15 an hour. With the cost of supplies, equipment, insurance, and the fuel to get there I was making barely $3 an hour. I spent too much time on details any way and really focused on getting their grout perfect or their stove grease spots and would lose track of time. So I’m glad to come back to car detailing. I have a passion for it and love getting peoples vehicles feeling and looking great. But like you said, don’t undercut people! It kills other peoples chances and ultimately your own! Cleaning services of any kind is a luxury service. People pay you to do the work they don’t have the time or interest of doing. Good luck!!

I am trying to start my own detailing business and i’ve been going off of detailing businesses near me, slightly undercutting my prices to make it more affordable for people so I can get a higher flow of customers. While it’s starting out slow, I have a couple guaranteed customers here in the near future! I have provided some good quality performances to vehicles at home and shared pictures from them. I haven’t had the ability to use an extractor yet since it’s winter here in Illinois and I don’t have a shop to work in. I figured that the best way to price is by the hour. I watch your videos all the time and I take lessons and tips from every video! You’re great at what you do and I hope that when I get my square body finished, that I can bring it up there to Canada and hopefully get it in a video!

Did a spare 2000 Civic i have and the interior is absolutely mint along with the outside of course because of working my magic on the nice tan paint. Im using my current job to buy all my products and test them, then once Spring is here im out of the 9-5 corporate bs. I had a friend thats a graphic designer help me make my own business cards and im just waiting to hand them out once a good stretch of weather is here. Cant wait to start this next chapter. Also im waiting for a good day to use the Auto Finesse Tyre Creme. Smells great like black cherry. Nothing but love here man.

They were grateful for the learning opportunity, and have been a steady repeat customer since...where now we can maintain the vehicle.

I came from Germany where the law says it is forbidden to clean your Car in Front of your Garage or inside... but only with any Karcher Extractor and a noname Steamer i clean Cars of my family and friends and they said its looking nice :D the hardest thing for me is to move the car cuz i cant get the driving license for years... but the satisfaction of my family and friends while they watching cleaning the car is unpayable... the reaction is lovely. So A very Big Thank to YOU for inspiration

Great relaxing content , good advice doesn't get old! Do you intend to employ people at the new studio? I guess it's important to keep up your standards if you bring in additional detailers. All the best 🤞

id like some opions on wether or not my numbers are ok. 9 months into business ive made 8,000 for 2022 so far although my last week was 1200 so thats a nice uptick. have hired a seo agency for my website for the past 8 months and im on the bottom of page 1 of google. i have 14 5 star reviews and 1 4 star. after coming off a busy profitable week its encouraging. but now i have no jobs on the books, called a couple other detail shops there all booked out for 9 days! i figure i could be doing worse and just trying to stay positive.

It’s hard being a detailer in Vegas, everyone charges $25-50 for a full interior/exterior “detail”

Yeah I was looking into the local detailing businesses available in my city and there are WAYYYYY too many detailing places around. Worst part is most of the people in my country don't care too much to detail their cars. They just send it for cheap washes which methods ruin pain and products are really low quality and cheap.

I have a question on how not to start a detailing business. What are your recommendations for cleaners/equipment to use when I only detail a couple of cars per year? What are the things that work well, and are very cost effective?

Very informative video, I’m retired and only take care of my own vehicles, do you detail full time or do you have another job, I can imagine it could be a scary decision to comment yourself full time

I think it's great that you shared this with your viewers! I started my residential cleaning business in 2003 and was very lucky that from one ad, done as a trade out for cleaning, was the last I ever had to run! The people from that ad spread my name like Baptist Church gossip about Sister Ruthi's daughter being prego!! haha No joke, it really did though..I had all the soccer moms calling me and wanting "The Butler" (my name was My Butler, long story but a friend no more had a similar name using the word Butler which is like Maid according to my lawyer, but thought he could copywrite the word Butler! anyway, see..long story) Anyway, I was lucky, I had plenty of business..It's a little easier with mine as I have repeat client's as once I get one, they use me either weekly, Bi-weekly or monthly unlike you, You have to get a new customer more often although I'm sure you too have regular clients just like any other service business would! Of course after 17 years almost, I'm tired...I'm starting to close up shop..I'm ready for a change..I am moving from FL to AZ in a month or so.. All the best to you as you certainly deserve it!! You are THE detail ICON!
