Hi Luke, I've worked in the cleaning industry for many years, what I notice with auto detailers is that the majority of the time you guys spray the chemicals on the mist setting rather then a stream setting. While it may be more effective this way, from a health perspective you are inhaling some of the chemical this way and this adds up over time. In office cleaning we have reduced this, for health reasons, we spray into a rug or as a stream. At the end of the day these are strong chemicals that have side effects. I learned how toxic chemicals can be, when doing a builder's clean of tiled floors in a bathroom (rest room). To clean the left over cement on the tile after it was laid, we use diluted hydrochloric acid. Two days later I get a call from the customer, asking if I had used acid on the stainless steel fittings in the bathroom (rest room), which I had not done. The fumes had corroded the stainless steel. Just thought I would share and hope it helps. Thanks for the time taken to make the videos much appreciated.
Yeah safety is important but absolutely nobody is using hydrochloric acid to detail their car or anything close to it. The only use for that would be for very aggressive rust removal which would be done off the car and that’s more along the lines of body work not detailing. The chemicals in HCL and car products just are not comparable or in the same category of things. With that said, I have never regretted wearing a respirator. There’s really no reason not to. Also it’s very coming for metal to flash rust from HCL fumes if they’re in the same room. Probably would have to use a layer of grease or something like you find on new rotors to avoid that along with anything else you all do to neutralize the acid and remove fumes from the area.
I know a detailer who got some kind of lung disease from detailing cars and he had to hire employees & can't work anymore because he still has the disease
As a single mother who is starting her own mobile detailing business I truly appreciate your videos! I am chronic overthinker so I really appreciate your in depth explanation of various ways things can be done. Thank you!
What Psi Pressure Washer do you use when you clean floor mats @Wilson Auto Detail ? Really like the idea about using a steamer bout to go look one up and gather my idea about getting one.. Thank you! Copperhead Detailing here 👋🏻 based in Alabama
Definitely agree on the carpeted floor mats! It’s actually quicker to just spray them with your product, use a drill brush, rinse them, and let them dry, rather than try to spot-clean them!
Hi everyone. Question 1.On the door jamb what chemical do you use (apc or soap)? 2. The door rubber, what do you use to clean it? After cleaning do you apply liquid wax? Or just soap and water? Thanks
An apc is weaker thean a degreaser. You make the call..if the grime and dirt isn't so bad just use an apc and agitate and wipe clean..but usually I use a degreaser and a steam cleaner but the degreaser is good enough..and to put protection. Use any protection of your choice that is made for vinyl,rubber,and plastic
I typically use superclean in three different dilutions. Any would work on door jams. Lightest on leather and front dash. And then I love Meguiars hyper dressing diluted 3-1 has a coating for anything rubber plastic
I never get overspray at the doors and its best to work inside out and up to low. I start by vacuuming the middle dash and seats, then I clean them. Then i’ll vacuum the car and finish by doing the doors and door step. Then you do the carpets and put them back in. That way you don’t have do to anything twice and the doors being open the chance they get back dirty is higher. You can start with the trunk or end with the truck its however you prefer.
I would be a little more careful hosing off the inside of the door. It looked like you got close to spraying water in the door actuator. There is most likely power going to that actuator for the power lock. Water gets in there and it could ruin it.
Could you tell me the steps you would take if you were in my shoes, I would really appreciate it, I don’t have many people to goto for guidance….. How would you go about starting atleast a side business detailing with 500$ Where to start and what to focus on first, second and so on? Thanks alot
I’m two months late but in every video he talks about his guide which is the first link in the Description and it’s how to get started in this business with $500 or less. Come on man. Do a little research, watch the whole video or multiple videos. Not everyone can do everything for you, take a little initiative

Wish u luck !!
How is business going?
I'm All Locked In My Friend Love The Material 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Your link to your free guide doesn't work.
Would this be considered your interior detailing packages? I’m trying to identify which services I should include vs. charge extra as an add-on.
The reason I add a "soft wash" in my standard Interior is because I found that it helps disparate the sand/dirt like you said. 👍
What steamer is that

Awesome video, I watched your videos and then made a video detailing my boat! Thanks for all the tips

Wait you said to be careful with ceiling liner but didn't explain how to clean it!
So we dont clean trunks correct? 🤔 Sorry im new to this
Love the simplicity of the video great content as usual
speaking straight facts i do what you do
Great idea using an air compressor for tight area and pressure washer on the mats!
PEACE AND BLESSINGS... I WOULD LIKE YOUR TOP 10 LIST OF EQUIPMENT.... PLEASE!!!
Hi everyone. Question
1.On the door jamb what chemical do you use (apc or soap)?
2. The door rubber, what do you use to clean it? After cleaning do you apply liquid wax? Or just soap and water?

@@Brian-dj3ru thanks!!!
@@miragexl007 thank you!
I have been using a bucket and pump sprayer of onr to clean almost all the hard surfaces. For the tougher areas I use a brush and steam and maybe apc.
I clicked the link for the toolbox and it's saying not found.
I never get overspray at the doors and its best to work inside out and up to low. I start by vacuuming the middle dash and seats, then I clean them.

How does the electrical keep from getting ruined with the cleaner being liquid ??
Do you use the steamer on the lowest temperature and pressure when cleaning the door panels and dash?
I would be a little more careful hosing off the inside of the door. It looked like you got close to spraying water in the door actuator. There is most likely power going to that actuator for the power lock. Water gets in there and it could ruin it.
doesnt seem like you did the windows, what would the process for that look like. what type of materials?
Hope the customer with an average car that gets an average treatment, also gets to pay an average rate.
Great info thank you. What is the yellow object your using on the steering wheel and such?
hi Wilson the first spray use in the video. from the spray bottle is that APC
So you have a pressure washer and a water hose? Or do you just unhook the hose from machine
Where did you get your hose for the water pressure? I seem to have a problem
Finding a good one that’s not heavy and tangles up in a weird manner.
How about air compressor? Why don’t you ever use it?
What kind of spray did he use on the door jambs?
Not a detailer but I need to learn how to clean my car
This is a great education program for me, and I followed each of his episode.
What brush did you use for the leather? I don’t see that or the leather cleaner on the list.
How do you clean the interior ceiling of a car?
Not sure if I missed the link on the leather brush you used for the seat
What nozzles do you use for your Sunjoe Wilson?
How many hours did this car take you to clean
What leather cleaning tool was used?
You have helped me more than you can imagine.. I thank the Most High for you Luke
I'm subscribed, and I see that you do your job with heart bro! Nice explaining also bro, many thanks!
Eating up your videos Luke! You're the man!!
Do you have a link for that citrus safe touch all purpose cleaner by Renegate? I’m trying on Amazon but only Meyer’s cleaner comes up. Thanks!
I think they only sell on their website. Just google renegade detailing products q
thanks for the content Wilson
Another great video!
How long does it take to finish the interior??
3 months
What cleaner did you use for the floor mats?
spit
😂😂😂
