Roughly just a thousand. Put as much money back into the company as possible upfront. My favorite thing about detailing is that there is A LOT of ways to do things correctly. Its a very regimented service but within those guidelines theres a lot of freedom (ie: brands for chemicals, gear, marketing)
@@austinshanks4422 Money is not an issue for me - It is a lot of analysis paralysis what to buy. Ever look at the chemical guys product selection :lol:.
I'm blown away, 22 years old. Your half my age but you forsure motivated me. I worked as a custodian for over 15 years. I've been detailing part-time for the past 6 months. I just recently quit my full-time job for other reasons. Now I'm focusing on having to really grow my business. Wish me luck! Thanks for the great video.
Best of luck JT Mobile! You can do it! 😀Just keep going and believing in your business. Thanks for watching the video? Do you do Mobile Detailing as well?
@Detail Forward Not only rich parents, but smart parents. I bet that man has a great dad who taught him well. You could have rich parents who are losers too.
@Detail Forward Platinum spoon. One thing is money, but even huge fortunes can be pissed away. This guy has a billionaire mindset, getting his hands dirty and all. Not many guys his age with money would want to be scrubbing cars.
@@UpFlip yes, Mobile Detailing was right down my alley with the type of work I do. I do admit theirs more that goes into it f49m custodial. As far as carpet and upholstery goes, that's where my strength is as well as being thorough in what I do. So far,detailing has been rewarding, at the same time challenging because of my age (46). This is no doubt a young man's game.
I came across this video back in March and decided to go all in. 9 months have gone by now since I started my own car detailing company and it's the greatest decision I have ever made. I'm earning more than any other job I have ever had and the freedom that comes with all of this is priceless. Very excited for what's to come! Thank you Alan and UpFlip. You guys literally changed my life and I will always be grateful for it.

You guys did an amazing job for educating someone who is interested in being a business owner. Not just detailing… but anything. That being said I still am pursuing detailing and waiting to see what comes next, maybe it will help me build a music business
Congrats on starting this from the ground up. For everyone citing silver spoon and rich parents, you didn’t listen. He started with $500, made that back with 2 details and reinvested. This kid is in control of his own destiny. Wanna do the same thing? Start small and grow it. Victim mindsets are toxic. Best of luck Allen!
No matter what anyone says the money doesn’t lie. Knowing Alan personally and professionally, this man proves himself everyday by the business growing on the back of his hard work. When he could have been goofing off like most people at this age he was grinding, sleep out of the question. This position is not handed out but earned. If it were handed out it couldn’t be maintained. If you want to try to get here, ultimately you can only do it with what’s inside of you, things like your work ethic, attitude, and motivation. Don’t sleep!
Man shout out to UpFlip for these amazing videos! Im addicted to watching these! The more i watch the more ideas i get and more motivation to really get out and start my own thing! Not just for me but to give my family a better life rather than barely making it at a 9 to 5! Thank you!
We really appreciate the support Davis. 😀Shout out to you for working hard for you and your family and not giving up. We're so glad the videos are motivating to you. We believe you'll find just the right business for yourself. Would you ever consider starting a business in this industry?
@@UpFlip Hey thanks for responding! Actually yes im wanting to look into this industry but im also been into pressure washing/softwashing.ive already joined a facebook group about power washing and have been studying into it.
I really appreciate these videos! I am in year two of self-employment and am doing a pivot to a different industry this spring; second company. These videos, the questions, the focus on small guys, all of it is FANTASTIC. Thank you!
@@UpFlip I was in tree removal which is a logistical challenge for a person who doesnt have all the equipment to process everything on the spot. I am in the process of starting an exterior washing service and the videos you guys make are a hige inspiration. I have come a long way from being an underpaid intern to fully embracing the entrepeneurial challenge. You guys are a part of that for me
This is so wonderful to hear Alexander. This is one of the primary reasons we make videos like this. You inspire us as well. With these great businesses you have going you're destine for success. Please let us know if you have any other questions along the way on your journey. 😀
Don't know your industry or what you do but I own a mobile auto detailing company. The first years are the hardest because your trying to figure everything out... Year 3 I didn't know if I was going to make it and the last month before I was broke I had my highest month in sales. Keep grinding til the miracle happens, In year 6 now and projected around 250 to 300k in sales... Much love
@@alexanderwatson3392 I own a successful detailing company and I am pivoting to Soft Washing, I will still detail for now but hopefully I can be done with it.
That’s the spirit man, having your own business goes a long way, I’m a director at my family oil/gas business in Nigeria n I give you kudos for what you’re doing man. You’ve taken the right path by making a solid decision. The sky is your starting point. 👍
You must be the Nigerian prince who keeps offering me money whilst only wanting my ba k details to make sure the millions go into the correct account. Bless you!
RE: Marketing. Get a big metal A-frame sign at the front of the street while you're working. At least a couple people will stop, ask a couple questions and grab a business card. Some book straight away. The best is when you're almost done the detail and you can show them the work you did. When I talk to people in person I get a lot of new business. Whereas if I go door to door with flyers it tends to be a complete waste of time. If you have a nice A-frame sign tho, you'll easily get 30% more business :)
Loved how in depth you guys went with this. I've been detailing at high end shops for 4 years and been wanting to start my own and I am finally making the move to start. With my knowledge I still learned a TON from this video. Going to dive into google my business 100%!
Crazy! I run Rinsed Out LLC out here in NC and we are in a very similar spot! 11 employees, 3 dealers, along with mobile and it’s very interesting. Very aggressive with marketing and staying motivated definitely get you were you need to be!
My shop pulls in 50k every 2 weeks that’s a bare minimum. I own a professional mechanic shop in a small town with 4 employees. Good for you. For detailing alone that is impressive! Good job!
RUclips is really a God sent blessing to all of us people. Imagine those old people having very less knowledge about stuffs and they see this now, for sure they would wish they were young again to do stuffs when can be learned through youtube shared videos. Thank you youtube♥️
Awesome video. Love car detailing I’ve learned a lot from RUclips as well. I spend 3 hours just detailing my truck every other weekend. I’m interested in going mobile as well just find it hard for people to pay even 100+ in Chicago. It’s a very small percentage of ppl that’ll pay or care for their cars like that here in the Midwest
This dude definitely is going places. Much respect for him. My only critique is I kind of cringed at 18:47 when the person used a rag on dirt instead of power washing it off first. Im big into detailing my own vehicles so I know that doing that can cause swirls in the paint. Other than that I liked everything else.
Chances are most of the clients that request mobile detailing lease their vehicles. Usually have disposable income. If they’re really worried about their own ride they do it their self.
Yeah most of these mobile detailer don't really care about detail or doing things the right way, just turning a profit. It takes me an average of 4 hours to do a car by myself. I don't make much, and I can only do 1 car a day, but I do it right.
Love that people are sharing with everyone, so many people hold all this information close to their chest it makes it very hard to even break into business. One note, his second helping on that car needs to remove the chain around his wrist while working on someone's car.
This is one of the best channels on youtube, Instead of just discussing random pie in the sky 100k/yr "side hustles" you actually look at the real businesses and learn what they're doing.
I have two business currently: a tree service/snow plowing business and a bounce house/party rental business. I always look for opportunities to encourage others to pursue. Thanks for all the great videos.
@@thewhiteknight02 that’s awesome! Detailing is a great market because it’s a specialized service which means people are willing to pay more for expert service!
Hes so honest and confident . without any hesitation , he is spitting out all the genuine information. You will definitely succeed bro . Love from INDIA 🇮🇳 ❤️✨
Been detailing for 2 years now changed my life soon as we went on flat rate I was making 1k a weel and the best part of it is I found somthing I love to do and somthing that is enjoy and makes you feel good after hearing your customers all day great content and knowledge!!
Thumbs up to the video host for asking all of the right questions. Great job at extracting crucial information that most of us with goals of starting this business need to know
Anyone else detail their family cars to perfection just for the right to live at home? Oh and the garden, and the house. I had detailed over 1000 cars on my own before I was 18.
I trust every word they both said. I like how they both know what they’re talking about (very fluently) I also like how the questions are very specific and detailed. God Bless you two with many good reviews and more clients/subscribers 🙏
Amazing detailer, but I’m also very very impressed with the questions! Had a few questions I couldn’t find the answer to and this guy just asks it for me! 😂👍
Allen is a cool dude. Thanks a lot really helped acknowledge all the work, material, and efforts needed to start this career. I will definitely keep this video and feedback for if I begin this, or even with other mobile careers.
Wow, you guys absolutely blew me away with this video, I've been thinking very hard lately about weather or not I should pull the trigger on a mobile detailing business and after this I think I'm going to do it, I was lacking confidence in quite a few aspects but this so clearly demonstrates how to do(or not do) it all. I'm just like this gentleman, I just can't work for other people. I was born an entrepreneur. Thanks a lot you guys and congratulations on getting to this point in your business, anyone with half a brain can see you have earned it!
My mind was blown when he said he started his hourly guys at $20 an hour. Terrific. We need more like him that understand that you get what you pay for.
@@jabz4431 your tripping, 20 an hour is pretty good money depending on which state you are in. That in Texas would be great money considering the fact they’re most likely getting $20 per hour no taxes
im 22 as well and i plan on starting my own business and this motivates me. props to this driven entrepreneur and great video, interviewing, and editing 👌🏾
Thank you for watching Muhammad and we really appreciate the feedback. 😀 You'll do great with your business journey just stay consistent and make sure to find time for your craft each day rather its just 30 minutes. Are you looking to start the same type of business?
I'm almost 50 and am finally starting my own business as a side hustle. Hope to "retire" from working for someone else by the time I'm 55. Every time I come across some whiny 20-something who complains about how "the system is rigged", I point them in the direction of people like Alan who is following in the steps of ambitious and focused entrepreneurs like Oprah Winfrey, Chris Gardner, and Madam C.J. Walker. Keep killing it, Alan. You're an inspiration to us all.
Excellent production for this video. Excellent questions presented and this young man is a hard working but also smart (quick to learn through mistakes). Thanks for sharing your business with us!
This is an awesome hustle. Tip: If you have not branched out to this: Try to do detailing for 18 wheelers within the Transportation/Trucking Industry. I have a company with over 200 trucks and we pay about $200-$300 USD to have our trucks detailed about 2-3 times a month depending on how fast our drivers switch trucks.
We really appreciate you stopping by the channel and leaving such great feedback today Julius. It's wonderful to hear about the different options someone has to build up clientele in this industry. 😀 Do you believe a detailer would need a lot of different equipment if they chose to details trucks instead of cars?
Keep it up we been in mobile detailing business over 50 years and the first mobile detailing company in sc it is good money in the business I started when I was 8 years old we have 10 mobile units today out moving keep it up💪🏾
@@detailpreneurpodcast Fantastic job! It certainly is a privilege and you’re making the most of it. Your ability to learn and grow so fast is admirable. Glad I found this video, very inspiring!
The thing i hated about doing mobile detailing was the money I left on the table. I’m in DFW so there’s a lot of traffic. The time it takes to setup/breakdown, traffic and time it takes to go to every location I left around 450 a day on the table vs doing it out of my garage. I can tell clients to drop off their vehicles the night before or early morning and then start on them around 6am. No extra money on a shop since I’m doing it from home. No money on gas, vehicles or extra insurance. I will be getting a shop down the line as we grow. When it comes to tools get you a BLO AIR-S, Mytee extractor, McCulloch steamer, Koch Chemie chemicals and make sure you get microfiber wash. This guy is a genius in marketing. Gonna start taking his route
We appreciate the feedback Rezzo. These are some great ideas. Every business goes through a phase of learning and growing but as long as you keep going everything will work itself out. How long have you been in the detailing business?
@@rezzo_6fn659 Yeah it does add up compared to the house set up. You'll just have different clients for each. Make sure to check the margins on shop ownership. This dude in the video was very smart to simply lease a space where his guys can operate maybe do something like that when you're ready.
Great interview and very inspiring content. I’ve been mulling over the idea of starting my own detailing business for a couple of years and this video may have just motivated me to take that first step.
i love watching all the different types of business videos because even if it’s not the one your looking into, you can still learn insight on how to do things
Just found your videos this morning during my “self investment/development time” or RUclips for business Ideas during breakfast. I can’t stand the thought of working for somebody else, I’ve been doing so for 9 years out of high school and have always wanted to do my own thing but didn’t know how and thought at 27 it was too late. However I’m seeing now I have tons of time as some of the guys in your video are way older. I really love your channel and how you show us as viewers a deep dive into all of these business ideas so we can better grasp what we may want to dip our toes into.
I will answer all questions down here in the comments! All links mentioned in video are inside of the Free Mini Course (first link in description) Thanks guys! 😊👍
So likely gross margins are ~60%, and operating margins are largely in his control, given he makes decisions around marketing, sales, admin costs. Would be fascinating to see their P&L and balance sheet, to see what they're making on invested capital, and what they're reinvesting.
Very interesting, I run a company with about 100 employees, started it when I was 22 as well. But, the simplicity and clarity that this young guy has brought was very insightful even though I might be more “experienced” … great job!
Wow off the hook great Info looking forward to gearing up my buss let's make America great again thx for the inspiration plz pray for Chicago hard to do buss so much violence but god will make a way
Trying to start up car detailing in Chicago but lots of shooting don't have the freedom to travel anywhere easy still rethinking how I can make things work safely n profitable
Side hustle "just for summer", made 30-40k. Lets say 30k\90days=333$ per day. Let's say he had 8h\day=41.6$\h. I'd love to see some crunched down numbers, but good on him.
Only 1.3 million fews, that’s a lot but my gosh this information is so good and the questions bring out the true answers of starting a business! I have had the issue of not know what to ask or getting lack luster responses to more specific questioning. I love this!
It takes so much dedication and effort to stay focused and continue learning. I started a mobile detailing business over a year ago and was not dedicated enough to expand once I thought I was earning enough/ doing a good enough job. It takes a lot but it looks like the pay off is worth it!
Thanks for watching Kazer. It does take a lot of dedication but staying consistent definitely makes a big difference. Congrats on starting your business. Sometimes it takes time to get it right but keep striving forward.😀 Are you still in this industry?
I have a deep background in detailing equipment and products I’ve been doing it for five years and have done so much research. We tried to keep this video shorter. There are so many products and tools I could have gone over. Sometimes keeping it simple is better. If you have any specific questions about products I’d like to know! Happy to collaborate and swap ideas anytime!
@@detailpreneurpodcast If you are mobile having a van/trailer with generator and water tank it’s a must. I never heard of any of your products, I saw your colleague scrubbing the lower side of the car with a dirty mitt and than…he was on the roof…no two bucket wash, mitt rinse…or multiple mitts…so safe wash must be a new concept. I saw you cleaning the glass on the outside without checking for any streaks…leaving the window down to clean the top as well…so many things..Don’t take it as an offence, I’m actually happy for your success but i highly recommend you going for some trainings and get certified. RUclips is a great source of information but you can’t get everything from RUclips. All the best man!
@Detail Forward he made his company himself and yet its because of his well off family? He may have had a good example from his family (mentioning his father is an entrepreneur), but he seems to have done this all himself. You can come from a rich family and still be self made. It seems he has earned and worked for everything his has achieved. Don't knock him on his success
@Detail Forward you totally could lol Assuming you live at home (which most people do in their early 20s and late teens), a hard working individual could easily save up the money to do it. He even said it himself, it only costs about $500 to get going. It's just about being smart with how you spend your money from other (probably part time jobs). Most young people who work part time spend all of their money whereas a financially smarter person would probably save most of it. It's pretty simple. Starting a business at 18 or 22 has nothing to do with being fed by the silver spoon.
And even if his parents helped out a bit with his initial investment, it's not that big of a deal. He just worked hard to get where he is. It's not like his dad started and ran the business for him. Based on what i see, this was all his own work
Thxxxx to the RUclips algorithm hahahaha. Greeting from Chile mate... Love this video, for sure I'm going to see more content of you. And for the business man, damn! I just hope you keep growing and growing... We need more motivated, genuine and high standard people.
Thanks for sharing the video. As a fellow detailer and detailer who watches videos about detailing daily I was entertained ,but figured id give my 2 cents about a few factors going on here with this supposed 600k a year business... Factor1: You don't even offer your own power and water from a tank ? factor2: Doesn't it become a hassle continuously pull out and pack up your whole setup out of these soccer mom mini vans (not to mention it is messy to have all these things scattered in someone's driveway. Not that it matter just an opinion) factor3: i understand everyone budgets and allocates capital differently but your turning 600k a year and you don't have the room in the budget to outfit proper vans? atleast for your guys sake?? maybe wrap them all the same? outfit them with generator, hose reels, compressors ? you might as well invest in a new set of vans instead of paying the irs 60-100k in taxes every year maybe chop that number in half by re investing in proper equipment just some thoughts from coming from a small 1-2 man detailing op nowhere near your scale.
Same thinking here. I’m mobile in So Cal with a 2014 Promaster 1500 Low Roof, carry everything all the time and everything is on locking & self retracting hose reels. It probably saves me an hour per detail. I make more having the van in time saved than it ever cost me to purchase. What I’m wondering is how does he have such an intense amount of calls coming in? He doesn’t even have any commercial equipment and it’s hard to believe he genuinely keeps up at least 40K a month. But what do I know? I could just be hating. I’m just kind of unconvinced. He’s got a nice wash bay! Hope he proves me wrong in 5 years.
Hey there. Wanted to help answer some questions! We never thought we would get this big so fast. We started with the mini vans and it has been working great for us! People love us and how we operate. We are going to stick with what’s working for us and there’s no way we are changing our formula unless we think of something better. Crazy to see what was able to come of this since I hired my first employee just 6 months time ago. We love what we do and strive for perfection however spending $60k on a rig isn’t something anyone needs to do starting out. Wish you and your partner all the best and hope some of my tips were helpful!
@@Ichabod_Jericho best of luck to you my friend! There’s more than enough cars to go around. Lifetime learner is what I strive for. Learning new things each day! One day we might get those rigs but for now we are going to stick with what’s been working for us!
If you're making money through a business, you should definitely set up a business as a separate entity and file taxes Capovibn. How long have you been in business?
I jobless for nearly 2year due to my health but yesterday I had a dream to open my mini car washing shop, so now I doing my homework and see which is the best item to get
Thanks for watching Brian. We're so happy you enjoy the content. It has to be at least 1000-2000 depending on the number of vehicles being detailed. Would you ever get into an industry like this one?

We really appreciate the support Davis. 😀Shout out to you for working hard for you and your family and not giving up. We're so glad the videos are motivating to you. We believe you'll find just the right business for yourself. Would you ever consider starting a business in this industry?
@@UpFlip Hey thanks for responding! Actually yes im wanting to look into this industry but im also been into pressure washing/softwashing.ive already joined a facebook group about power washing and have been studying into it.
Alan really is a great guy, and he 100% deserves these successes
Thanks KD! Appreciate it brother 💪
Thanks for the wonderful feedback KD!😀
@@godetail hey man youre a baller! Im 20 and just started and would love to get a copy of that service agreement if your willing to share it!
I really appreciate these videos! I am in year two of self-employment and am doing a pivot to a different industry this spring; second company. These videos, the questions, the focus on small guys, all of it is FANTASTIC. Thank you!
This is great Alexander. We're happy the videos are helpful. Keep up the great work. 😀💪⭐What type of business are you in?
@@UpFlip I was in tree removal which is a logistical challenge for a person who doesnt have all the equipment to process everything on the spot. I am in the process of starting an exterior washing service and the videos you guys make are a hige inspiration. I have come a long way from being an underpaid intern to fully embracing the entrepeneurial challenge. You guys are a part of that for me
This is so wonderful to hear Alexander. This is one of the primary reasons we make videos like this. You inspire us as well. With these great businesses you have going you're destine for success. Please let us know if you have any other questions along the way on your journey. 😀
Don't know your industry or what you do but I own a mobile auto detailing company. The first years are the hardest because your trying to figure everything out... Year 3 I didn't know if I was going to make it and the last month before I was broke I had my highest month in sales. Keep grinding til the miracle happens, In year 6 now and projected around 250 to 300k in sales... Much love
@@alexanderwatson3392 I own a successful detailing company and I am pivoting to Soft Washing, I will still detail for now but hopefully I can be done with it.
This guy is awesome man, he’s so open and confident it’s inspiring. Well done buddy, awesome work
Incredible content and specificity. Great-looking business here, too. Thankful the owner shares so much.
That’s the spirit man, having your own business goes a long way, I’m a director at my family oil/gas business in Nigeria n I give you kudos for what you’re doing man. You’ve taken the right path by making a solid decision. The sky is your starting point. 👍
You must be the Nigerian prince who keeps offering me money whilst only wanting my ba k details to make sure the millions go into the correct account. Bless you!
RE: Marketing. Get a big metal A-frame sign at the front of the street while you're working. At least a couple people will stop, ask a couple questions and grab a business card. Some book straight away. The best is when you're almost done the detail and you can show them the work you did. When I talk to people in person I get a lot of new business. Whereas if I go door to door with flyers it tends to be a complete waste of time. If you have a nice A-frame sign tho, you'll easily get 30% more business :)
Loved how in depth you guys went with this. I've been detailing at high end shops for 4 years and been wanting to start my own and I am finally making the move to start. With my knowledge I still learned a TON from this video. Going to dive into google my business 100%!
I'm in Florida let's partner up

How's it going so far?
Just subscribed today and I have to say, this is a great channel. This video in particular is amazing. A very humble guy who loves his job.
Crazy! I run Rinsed Out LLC out here in NC and we are in a very similar spot! 11 employees, 3 dealers, along with mobile and it’s very interesting. Very aggressive with marketing and staying motivated definitely get you were you need to be!
How much are u making a month?
That’s crazy, looked y’all up and you’re based in my city
How much do you pay your guys and what’s the charge per detail at a dealership and how many do you do a day?
My shop pulls in 50k every 2 weeks that’s a bare minimum. I own a professional mechanic shop in a small town with 4 employees.
Good for you. For detailing alone that is impressive! Good job!
How difficult is it for you to get parts right now? I sell parts at a dealership and it is a nightmare trying to source parts for customers and shops.
RUclips is really a God sent blessing to all of us people. Imagine those old people having very less knowledge about stuffs and they see this now, for sure they would wish they were young again to do stuffs when can be learned through youtube shared videos. Thank you youtube♥️
RUclips can be a good place to learn new things Ron. What's one of the most memorable things you've learned on youtube?
Awesome video. Love car detailing I’ve learned a lot from RUclips as well. I spend 3 hours just detailing my truck every other weekend. I’m interested in going mobile as well just find it hard for people to pay even 100+ in Chicago. It’s a very small percentage of ppl that’ll pay or care for their cars like that here in the Midwest
Definitely not true.just google detailers near you and ask them for their prices or check their sites and go from there
How’s the market there?
Same here, even people with luxury cars are not willing to pay so much for detailing theirs. Cheap car wash shops are the norm here.
This dude definitely is going places. Much respect for him. My only critique is I kind of cringed at 18:47 when the person used a rag on dirt instead of power washing it off first. Im big into detailing my own vehicles so I know that doing that can cause swirls in the paint. Other than that I liked everything else.
Oh yeah, that’s a big error there. I’m not sure if it was for the camera to get a “dirt being wiped away shot”, but that wouldn’t happen on my car.
Do not think it was dirt. Very clean all around but just that spot? Nah
@@mrs.h4484 Im sorry if you don’t think that was dirt but it was in fact dirt😂 its clearly visible
Chances are most of the clients that request mobile detailing lease their vehicles. Usually have disposable income. If they’re really worried about their own ride they do it their self.
Yeah most of these mobile detailer don't really care about detail or doing things the right way, just turning a profit. It takes me an average of 4 hours to do a car by myself. I don't make much, and I can only do 1 car a day, but I do it right.
Love that people are sharing with everyone, so many people hold all this information close to their chest it makes it very hard to even break into business.
One note, his second helping on that car needs to remove the chain around his wrist while working on someone's car.
This is one of the best channels on youtube, Instead of just discussing random pie in the sky 100k/yr "side hustles" you actually look at the real businesses and learn what they're doing.
Detailers in my area are always booked or too busy. That means room in the market for more or higher prices.
Very true thewhiteknight02. Definitely room in the market. Would you get into a business like this?
I have two business currently: a tree service/snow plowing business and a bounce house/party rental business. I always look for opportunities to encourage others to pursue. Thanks for all the great videos.
Our pleasure thewhiteknight. Keep up the great work!😀💪
@@thewhiteknight02 that’s awesome! Detailing is a great market because it’s a specialized service which means people are willing to pay more for expert service!
Which area ?
This young business man is so open and informative, he is really knowledgeable.
The video is such an all rounder in what we could ask.
Thanks, @RiAnime! Really awesome to hear you enjoyed the video with Alan. What other questions would you have liked to ask him?
Hes so honest and confident . without any hesitation , he is spitting out all the genuine information. You will definitely succeed bro . Love from INDIA 🇮🇳 ❤️✨
Thanks Garry! We appreciate the feedback and kind words! : ) Wishing you all the best
Been detailing for 2 years now changed my life soon as we went on flat rate I was making 1k a weel and the best part of it is I found somthing I love to do and somthing that is enjoy and makes you feel good after hearing your customers all day great content and knowledge!!
Thumbs up to the video host for asking all of the right questions. Great job at extracting crucial information that most of us with goals of starting this business need to know
Anyone else detail their family cars to perfection just for the right to live at home? Oh and the garden, and the house. I had detailed over 1000 cars on my own before I was 18.
Love this episode!! I plan to roll out a 2-3 vans hopefully!! Love this Ginger! He is a hustling guy, seems humble and hard working!
Thanks for watching Punny! Glad you enjoyed the video. Will you be doing the same type of business as well?
That’s awesome my friend. Do you have a detailing business yourself?
What a great video and interview! Thank you for being so open and honest with your business 👏
I trust every word they both said. I like how they both know what they’re talking about (very fluently) I also like how the questions are very specific and detailed. God Bless you two with many good reviews and more clients/subscribers 🙏
Amazing detailer, but I’m also very very impressed with the questions! Had a few questions I couldn’t find the answer to and this guy just asks it for me! 😂👍
Allen is a cool dude. Thanks a lot really helped acknowledge all the work, material, and efforts needed to start this career. I will definitely keep this video and feedback for if I begin this, or even with other mobile careers.
Hi. Great job. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, you guys absolutely blew me away with this video, I've been thinking very hard lately about weather or not I should pull the trigger on a mobile detailing business and after this I think I'm going to do it, I was lacking confidence in quite a few aspects but this so clearly demonstrates how to do(or not do) it all. I'm just like this gentleman, I just can't work for other people. I was born an entrepreneur. Thanks a lot you guys and congratulations on getting to this point in your business, anyone with half a brain can see you have earned it!
Thanks for watching pthrelkeld090. You can do it. You just have to be consistent. Have you started a business plan?
Hey Perry, it’s been 4 months… Did you do it?
Any updates?
@@xJayhawkFANx you know damn well he didn't do it 😂
Hey man I know it’s been a year but I hope you did or one day will open up your own detail business don’t lose hope you got this!
My mind was blown when he said he started his hourly guys at $20 an hour. Terrific. We need more like him that understand that you get what you pay for.
That not much tbh
@@jabz4431 20 an hour cleaning cars is a lot you clown
No regular job starts off at $20, not even McDonald’s advertising $18-$21 and that’s management dealing with everything, high stress!
@@jabz4431 it’s relative. It might not be that much, but there are jobs that require degrees that pay less.
@@jabz4431 your tripping, 20 an hour is pretty good money depending on which state you are in. That in Texas would be great money considering the fact they’re most likely getting $20 per hour no taxes
This guys asking all the right questions!! What a video. Fantastic job gentlemen
We appreciate that Amerse. Should we do more businesses on this industry?
im 22 as well and i plan on starting my own business and this motivates me. props to this driven entrepreneur and great video, interviewing, and editing 👌🏾
Thank you for watching Muhammad and we really appreciate the feedback. 😀 You'll do great with your business journey just stay consistent and make sure to find time for your craft each day rather its just 30 minutes. Are you looking to start the same type of business?
I'm almost 50 and am finally starting my own business as a side hustle. Hope to "retire" from working for someone else by the time I'm 55. Every time I come across some whiny 20-something who complains about how "the system is rigged", I point them in the direction of people like Alan who is following in the steps of ambitious and focused entrepreneurs like Oprah Winfrey, Chris Gardner, and Madam C.J. Walker. Keep killing it, Alan. You're an inspiration to us all.
oprah is a child trafficker lol, nice
This young man is so impressive with his attitude and motivation to help others exceed. Generous nature indeed.
Excellent production for this video. Excellent questions presented and this young man is a hard working but also smart (quick to learn through mistakes). Thanks for sharing your business with us!
I'm passionate about people with such motivation and attitude. Man, I wish you all the success in your business!
I love the way Upflip asks questions, it really connects to the viewers watching! A mine of golden information here! A new subscriber here! 💯👍
i hate the host nodding and saying ok after every 2 words. like is the worst pretend to listen and not care.
let the dude talk.
Such a nice guy, he is very smart and hardworking, hope you keep growing!
Thank you for your kind words! :)
This is an awesome hustle.
Tip: If you have not branched out to this:
Try to do detailing for 18 wheelers within the Transportation/Trucking Industry. I have a company with over 200 trucks and we pay about $200-$300 USD to have our trucks detailed about 2-3 times a month depending on how fast our drivers switch trucks.
What would be the best way to find those companies?
We really appreciate you stopping by the channel and leaving such great feedback today Julius. It's wonderful to hear about the different options someone has to build up clientele in this industry. 😀 Do you believe a detailer would need a lot of different equipment if they chose to details trucks instead of cars?
per truck?
@@pezrose1623 no. 1 dollar a truck to clean them. Come on
@@BobbyB21_ I ain't laughed this good in a while
Keep it up we been in mobile detailing business over 50 years and the first mobile detailing company in sc it is good money in the business I started when I was 8 years old we have 10 mobile units today out moving keep it up💪🏾
This video is great. Exceeded my expectations. Serious operation right here. Super motivating and informative

Love to hear it Thank you Alfonso
That’s awesome Alfonso!
He is such a cool humble guy we need more people like him you goin far brother keep up the good work
The thing i hated about doing mobile detailing was the money I left on the table. I’m in DFW so there’s a lot of traffic. The time it takes to setup/breakdown, traffic and time it takes to go to every location I left around 450 a day on the table vs doing it out of my garage. I can tell clients to drop off their vehicles the night before or early morning and then start on them around 6am. No extra money on a shop since I’m doing it from home. No money on gas, vehicles or extra insurance. I will be getting a shop down the line as we grow.
When it comes to tools get you a BLO AIR-S, Mytee extractor, McCulloch steamer, Koch Chemie chemicals and make sure you get microfiber wash. This guy is a genius in marketing. Gonna start taking his route
We appreciate the feedback Rezzo. These are some great ideas. Every business goes through a phase of learning and growing but as long as you keep going everything will work itself out. How long have you been in the detailing business?
@@UpFlip only a couple of months. Still learning and still growing
See to me that $450 on the table sounds like you need another crew out there to cover more surface.
@@CaBdosdos but that’s more money spent compared to what I can have at the house. Two more guys, another vehicle, insurance and gas. It adds up.
@@rezzo_6fn659 Yeah it does add up compared to the house set up. You'll just have different clients for each. Make sure to check the margins on shop ownership. This dude in the video was very smart to simply lease a space where his guys can operate maybe do something like that when you're ready.
Amazing questions, amazing video. Thank you
Great interview and very inspiring content. I’ve been mulling over the idea of starting my own detailing business for a couple of years and this video may have just motivated me to take that first step.
30:07 said he was guna give the link but doesnt. Whats the point of mentioning that in the videO?
i love watching all the different types of business videos because even if it’s not the one your looking into, you can still learn insight on how to do things
Great content you guys! You really covered everything and asked him such helpful questions. What an amazing kid! 👍
Just found your videos this morning during my “self investment/development time” or RUclips for business Ideas during breakfast.
I can’t stand the thought of working for somebody else, I’ve been doing so for 9 years out of high school and have always wanted to do my own thing but didn’t know how and thought at 27 it was too late. However I’m seeing now I have tons of time as some of the guys in your video are way older.
I really love your channel and how you show us as viewers a deep dive into all of these business ideas so we can better grasp what we may want to dip our toes into.
I will answer all questions down here in the comments! All links mentioned in video are inside of the Free Mini Course (first link in description) Thanks guys! 😊👍

You are an excellent interviewer. You asked the best questions possible. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the video. What questions would you have liked to ask?
So likely gross margins are ~60%, and operating margins are largely in his control, given he makes decisions around marketing, sales, admin costs.
Would be fascinating to see their P&L and balance sheet, to see what they're making on invested capital, and what they're reinvesting.
DAMN UPFLIP BLEW UP BEEN HERE SINCE 13k SUBS! KNEW YOU WOULD GET UP THERE ! CONGRATS!
Big time! The team knows what they are doing and are expert marketers. Very passionate about their work and have a great attitude.
Very interesting, I run a company with about 100 employees, started it when I was 22 as well. But, the simplicity and clarity that this young guy has brought was very insightful even though I might be more “experienced” … great job!

Well done, young man! Kudos to you and good luck as you continue to grow!
It takes so much dedication and effort to stay focused and continue learning. I started a mobile detailing business over a year ago and was not dedicated enough to expand once I thought I was earning enough/ doing a good enough job. It takes a lot but it looks like the pay off is worth it!
Thanks for watching Kazer. It does take a lot of dedication but staying consistent definitely makes a big difference. Congrats on starting your business. Sometimes it takes time to get it right but keep striving forward.😀 Are you still in this industry?
@@UpFlip I am not. Pursuing school and working as a bartender in the meantime.
@@kazer4040 why did you stop?
@@Yassine-kw2eo I was doing many things wrong, neglected learning opportunities, and was not making enough because of those reasons. Had to get a job.
@@kazer4040 What would you say that you were doing wrong?
He sure got the hustler’s mindset,keep on moving on🤘🏿
The guy knows his business side of things…but when it comes to actually detailing/products/tools…he is far from a pro!
I have a deep background in detailing equipment and products I’ve been doing it for five years and have done so much research. We tried to keep this video shorter. There are so many products and tools I could have gone over. Sometimes keeping it simple is better. If you have any specific questions about products I’d like to know! Happy to collaborate and swap ideas anytime!
@@detailpreneurpodcast If you are mobile having a van/trailer with generator and water tank it’s a must. I never heard of any of your products, I saw your colleague scrubbing the lower side of the car with a dirty mitt and than…he was on the roof…no two bucket wash, mitt rinse…or multiple mitts…so safe wash must be a new concept. I saw you cleaning the glass on the outside without checking for any streaks…leaving the window down to clean the top as well…so many things..Don’t take it as an offence, I’m actually happy for your success but i highly recommend you going for some trainings and get certified. RUclips is a great source of information but you can’t get everything from
RUclips. All the best man!
@Detail Forward he made his company himself and yet its because of his well off family? He may have had a good example from his family (mentioning his father is an entrepreneur), but he seems to have done this all himself.
You can come from a rich family and still be self made. It seems he has earned and worked for everything his has achieved.
Don't knock him on his success
@Detail Forward you totally could lol
Assuming you live at home (which most people do in their early 20s and late teens), a hard working individual could easily save up the money to do it. He even said it himself, it only costs about $500 to get going.
It's just about being smart with how you spend your money from other (probably part time jobs). Most young people who work part time spend all of their money whereas a financially smarter person would probably save most of it.
It's pretty simple. Starting a business at 18 or 22 has nothing to do with being fed by the silver spoon.
And even if his parents helped out a bit with his initial investment, it's not that big of a deal. He just worked hard to get where he is. It's not like his dad started and ran the business for him. Based on what i see, this was all his own work
the content of this video is really great , the interviewer question is really on point, detailed and the owner is really humble and informative
Very informative video, Alan and GoDetail are making big moves!
Big moves all the way. Appreciate it brother 😉
Thank you Lenny! Are you in the same industry?
Let’s get it!
Thxxxx to the RUclips algorithm hahahaha. Greeting from Chile mate... Love this video, for sure I'm going to see more content of you.
And for the business man, damn! I just hope you keep growing and growing... We need more motivated, genuine and high standard people.
Thanks for sharing the video. As a fellow detailer and detailer who watches videos about detailing daily I was entertained ,but figured id give my 2 cents about a few factors going on here with this supposed 600k a year business...
Factor1: You don't even offer your own power and water from a tank ?
factor2: Doesn't it become a hassle continuously pull out and pack up your whole setup out of these soccer mom mini vans (not to mention it is messy to have all these things scattered in someone's driveway. Not that it matter just an opinion)
factor3: i understand everyone budgets and allocates capital differently but your turning 600k a year and you don't have the room in the budget to outfit proper vans? atleast for your guys sake?? maybe wrap them all the same? outfit them with generator, hose reels, compressors ?
you might as well invest in a new set of vans instead of paying the irs 60-100k in taxes every year maybe chop that number in half by re investing in proper equipment
just some thoughts from coming from a small 1-2 man detailing op nowhere near your scale.
Same thinking here. I’m mobile in So Cal with a 2014 Promaster 1500 Low Roof, carry everything all the time and everything is on locking & self retracting hose reels.
It probably saves me an hour per detail. I make more having the van in time saved than it ever cost me to purchase. What I’m wondering is how does he have such an intense amount of calls coming in? He doesn’t even have any commercial equipment and it’s hard to believe he genuinely keeps up at least 40K a month.
But what do I know? I could just be hating. I’m just kind of unconvinced. He’s got a nice wash bay! Hope he proves me wrong in 5 years.
Hey there. Wanted to help answer some questions! We never thought we would get this big so fast. We started with the mini vans and it has been working great for us! People love us and how we operate. We are going to stick with what’s working for us and there’s no way we are changing our formula unless we think of something better. Crazy to see what was able to come of this since I hired my first employee just 6 months time ago. We love what we do and strive for perfection however spending $60k on a rig isn’t something anyone needs to do starting out. Wish you and your partner all the best and hope some of my tips were helpful!
@@detailpreneurpodcast I wasn’t lookin for tips and spent 22K on my rig, not 60😅 no ones attacking you bud keep on keepin on
@@Ichabod_Jericho best of luck to you my friend! There’s more than enough cars to go around. Lifetime learner is what I strive for. Learning new things each day! One day we might get those rigs but for now we are going to stick with what’s been working for us!
100 agree aint no one with a 600k a year turn over is using a socor mums van to work out of...
Such an impressive video. Alan is a rock star entrepreneur and the interviewer asked such great questions! Thank you!
i really liked this video! makes me think that i might be able to do this one day. thanks alan and his team and upflip for this video :)
Thank you Elina! Love to hear it :)

Nice mini van dude. Most professional mobile detailer I've seen
We appreciate the positive feedback Hotshots714!😀Should we do more videos like this?
I have a question @UpFlip if I work in my garage detailing as a side job do I need to still pay taxes? Do I gotta setup a LLC?
If you're making money through a business, you should definitely set up a business as a separate entity and file taxes Capovibn. How long have you been in business?

How many gallons of waste water to you go through a week on average?
Thank you. Great content guys!!! Love it.
Thanks for watching Brian. We're so happy you enjoy the content. It has to be at least 1000-2000 depending on the number of vehicles being detailed. Would you ever get into an industry like this one?
@@UpFlip I own a Executive Recruiting busines called GreenRush Talent Network focused on leadership talent in the Cannabis industry. Im selling my house in Denver and moving to South FL. Looking to create a business down there as well while maintaining a few of my current clients. The issue with this industry is the barrier to entry.. or the fact that there is virtually no barrier and that everybody and their mother can enter. I absolutely LOVE UpFlip! and just trying to figure out what the play is. This one looks awesome but again.. so so many people are all over this in S Florida given no seasonality. Either way.. love the content guys!!! So informative and really gives a deep dive on each business.. not just the fluff of " work hard and you too can have this success" type of question and answer. The host rocks, the questioning is thoughtful and its just all amazing. Continued success to the UpFlip team.
It takes about 1-5 gallons per car depending on how big of a vehicle it is and how much mud and dirt we have to rinse off.
