  • The Most Profitable Way To Detail A Car | Spend Less Time & Get BETTER RESULTS! How do you become more profitable as a professional detailer? ADD ONS! This is the number 1 way I create the most profitable way to detail a car in my detailing world. I spend less time, and get better results than the other guys, and it not only creates an amazing win win for my customer and I, but it also has taken my business to a whole new level.

      @@kblazindetailing9846 For me there's a lot of factors in pricing. I usually tell customers 3 different price points of good, better, best, but every job, for me, is custom. Some people say "It's not that bad" and then it's absolutely disgusting, and others say "it's really bad" and then I feel like I'm a swiss watch maker looking over everything with a magnifier. Also, sometimes the inside looks pristine but exterior looks okay. So I judge it based on: size, expectations, conditon, if it's full service or only interior or exterior, etc. A large SUV, with a really bad outside condition, but needing very little on the inside, but they want a full service job, I'm probably charging somewhere between the mid to upper price point. A 2 door coupe that has been garage kept and only wants interior, I'm probably charging the lower end price point.

      This is a daily driver for a non enthusiast owner. 50 is doable.
      Try to sell a 25 restore to a luxury car owner he'll say it's too cheap and say no for the opposite reasons.
      Brian from apex looks up the price of a replacement Headlight and charges half the price.
      Every customer and budget is different in different towns.
      The price also doesn't factor the fact he didn't have to break out a drill or polisher, pads, compounds, which all require cleaning afterwards cutting into his profit for time.
      He charged 50 but also added value doing the handle scratch removal for free.
      Part of the upsell is not just flashing the 50 price tag. You have to work the customer, adding a feeling of return on investment for the lady. He restored AND added a coating. He restored the trim AND coated it for long haul.
      She may not understand coatings ceramics but Wilson can sleep knowing this lady will have clear headlights and deep black trim and she's going to come back and tell all her friends.
      Good for him. Personality is always appreciated and he seems like a well meaning young man doing honest hard work. You portray like a sleasy salesmam slapping 50 charges here and there you won't get a buy.

  • @mysterywrecked
    @mysterywrecked 4 года назад

    Just a note on the scratches under the door handles, be sure to follow up with a good vigorous hand polish with at least a medium compound. The magic eraser is a abrasive and will dull the finish, also the scratches themselves have only been cleaned in this process, not removed. As soon as they are dirty again the scratches will reappear. A good hand polish will not take long, and will actually bring down the scratches more permanently.

      @ar15tac 4 года назад +4

      I understand what you are saying, but what would have been fair I bet with drive time he has at least 3 hours in this That puts him at 75 an hour. Then you take his material I think each kit was apx 20 so that takes him to 60 ish then wear and tear on rags, pressure washers, brushes, and all his chemicals. If he is lucky he is making 55 an hour. Which sounds like a tone of money... but he wouldn’t have been near that without the up sale. Did he lie on the up sale no. He actually, from my limited experience, put on two of the most durable products he could on the car. Instead of applying simply a sealant to headlights or chem guys vrp both would have looked as good for a month then faded... new headlights for cheap ones are like 50-150 and cheap ones often time get water in them and the .5 for mechanic to install or 1 hour book rate so that puts you at 100 to 250 so he could do this minimum 2 times and she will have a better looking headlights for less. I work construction and people constantly think you can do something so fast and it only take an extra five minutes when life rarely works out that way. Anyways not meant to be combative I just don’t see him skimping on the install. Using subpar proroducts
