I very rarely sit through any videos longer than 20 minutes. There’s so much value in this video and this method will save so much time. Thank you so much!
Hey you probably wont see this, but using a vortex/tornador blow gun on that carpet after vacuuming is 10000% faster and easier. I recommend this order... 1. vacuum 2. blow out the carpet, then the doors and dash, 3. continue as you did. you will have to vacuum again, but it is all surface dirt, and comes up like magic. thanks for the content!
i just detailed my moms truck, acura mdx. it was little dirty. few seats had dirt that was light brown and came off or didn’t and was just light faded spot. took me like 7-9 hours only thing i’m missing is cleaning the floor matt’s, the pedals, and the seats which take like two seconds each but i have to get behind each one and it’s a family truck… i was busy most of the day setting up my equipment. Very satisfied, all the plastics clean and restored, car vacuumed, dash is clean and polished. I took my time tbh but if i don’t i’ll bang around thinfs
@Mikie Jones Yeah, that was bare minimum stuff, not even enough for a full detail. That stuff now could maybe cover what I consider a basic detail, though it wouldn't come out nearly as well as what I have now
Luke, excellent way of taking the old with the new way format in projecting the message. While having to tackle a totally destroyed vehicle each time is way more than should be expected, in this case, it actually worked for you, both in product description and use methodology. Been a while since I saw a Luke Wilson real time detail. Good to see you back again!!! PS: Was wondering why Amazon had your brushes out of stock!
I used a Mytee Lite for quite a king while. I converted to an aqua pro vac this summer and have 0 regrets. Much cheaper, and it’s cleaning just as well. I can still use heat with my steamer or by adding heated water that I hear with an electric kettle (I’m mobile) and it works fantastic. It’s getting me the same results as the Mytee for so much less.
*Notes to self* 35:55 "This is as good as it's going to get." The dirt is literally part of the carpet and the client has to know why this is the highest level of perfection. 37:47 "How much is enough?" THANK YOU LUKE !!!
Dude you are amazing and doing great things. I’ve soaked up so much game from your videos and I have no doubt that I can succeed in my own detailing company. Thank you so much for helping the dream my guy.
I usually do my door jambs with apc/paint brush during initial rinse and wash, then move to interiors so you clean up any interior plastic one time instead of twice. Same with extracting before wiping interior
I would love to start my own detailing business, I have a lot to learn, but my first question would be; where do you actually do the detail? Do the customers drop off their cars to you? Do you drive to them? If they take their vehicle to you, where do they go while waiting? It may be a dumb question, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about while thinking about starting a business.
Idk how far you gone in 11months but to answer it would be up to you. You can go to them have them come to you etc. I’m mobile but I’ve also had people come to me or just drop their car off and get it when it’s done so personally up to you
@@kllaskullz thank you! I think I asked this question while I was first started out. I have maintenance clients now, and my weekend is completely booked with details. Always mobile, but maybe one day I’ll have a shop! 🙂
The explanation of every step is on point and then listing the chemicals & equipment being used very helpful I have watched a few of your videos very good presentations keep up the great work I’m in the process of redoing my whole operation
bro appreciate your channel to the fullest.. really bro.. alot to learn.. more like a detail course or a professor.. just recently cross your channel.. im still on process learning new things about detailing.. love your content bro.. hard to get all equipment since im unemployed but still keep me discipline to pursue my career i benn visionasing.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Wilson I’m loving the content and it’s helped me with my business! How do you go about working effectively but at the same time being cautious. I’m always scared of messing up with things such as getting apc on the glass and it etching.
Love how you touched on the key points of expectations. I have a question. What is the best way or how would you suggest achieving a quick dry time after steam cleaning the interior. Thank you. I enjoy learning new technics from you.
I detail my family and friend's cars for fun. Maybe one a month since it's so time-consuming. I don't think most people know what goes into a car detail. I offered to detail my friend's car today and she said "i get it detailed every 2 weeks so it shouldn't be that dirty." There is no way her car gets detailed. A maintenance wash at best. Her wheels had caked on brake dust that required multiple passes with a wheel cleaner. The trunk and other parts of the car had so many imbedded contaminants it needed to be clayed. No sealant or wax on the car at all. Dust all over the interior. Leather seats have never been cleaned. My microfiber towels were disgusting by the end of it. People don't pay attention to how dirty their cars really are. When i showed her the before and after pictures she was floored. And she said she's going to fire the guy who "details" her car. It took me 8 hours! I know, it's crazy. But it kinda of relaxes me. If I did this as a business, I'd either have to cut corners (like not try to vacuum up every speck of dust), or I'd charge quite a bit for a proper detail.
Comunication is key in a job like this...You as a client took a year to clean a junk car like this and most of the time you cant expect perfection...As a professional and bussiness owner you have to get every dollar you "spend" on this type of cars
Also I noticed that you had used the tornador in the past but prefer the steamer now. Can you explain why you don’t use the tornador? Or the advantages of not using it? Seems like you are pretty efficient with the steamer
I know this video is old, and I'd never ask what anyone charges. But, if you factored in time, materials what you need to make to be profitable is $100.00 per hour, (making that amount up because it's even and easy) what would you charge for that? Based on the $100.00 number of course. I never ask what anyone else charges or why. To be honest, I wouldn't do the car now, but I do understand someone needs to and does. I have done them before and was never okay with what I made on something like that lol. Probably because, when is good enough came into play. I'd have told the people to do inside and out, I'd need two days and would have likely spent two full days doing it. I'm older now and can be picky, but when I was 19-23 years old I'd probably do something stupid like say the interior will cost you $150.00 and the exterior $150.00 lol. It's a long question and I'm sorry. Just when I did it as a very young man, the means I had weren't what they are today. Especially the steam.. All I would have had (early/mid 1990's) would have been an APC, several brushes, a carpet shampoo and an extractor. Of course protectants too. Just to get the interior hard surfaces clean would have been probably two hours on something like that. Then, after doing everything possible on the faberic I would have to go into dying it. But on fast forward, that job took time. I still do the work, just would turn something like that down. That said, if I wanted to do it, at the $100.00 number, I'd be telling them $1,000.00 for the interior lol. And It wouldn't be perfect. Side note, I have no idea how old you are, and the age thing was about me, when I started and nothing at all to do with you. The video is great and informitave.
Could you please talk less faster like in 41min of this video I have to use captions. Only thing I got to point out. Slow down to understand what you're saying. Nice content keep it up.

Ayo started charging more and upped my game. Profits are rollin in now man! Thanks for all your help.
Thats great man, I'm gonna start charging more soon. Im buying more equipment so I'll be able to do better job.
@Mikie Jones I spent like 560 getting started and still didn't have as much as I would have liked.
@Mikie Jones Yeah, that was bare minimum stuff, not even enough for a full detail. That stuff now could maybe cover what I consider a basic detail, though it wouldn't come out nearly as well as what I have now

100% agree with you.i just bought one and its first test was a tournament fishing boat and it looked freaking amazing!!! Best 500 bucks i spent
I just use an steamer, a ridgid vaccum and shampoo with a drill brush. No need to buy any extractor as your vaccum has more suction power

Wilson, your the best at describing the work and how to do it. Thanks. Top cat detail services
Hey man thanks for all the tips for us detailers, i really appreciate all that you do for us

How would you price this job you just did? Your literally my detail God I can't wait for your course
when is the course coming out??
It all depends on who your dealing with whether it's a new client and the area you live ,and the time it will take to finish
@@brentonhawthorne6685 I would charge 300 for a job like that
This job would typically take me 3-5 hrs
@@davguy2446 3 hours tops
Awesome content! Learning so much helpful information from you Luke!
Awesome, thank you!
Hey Luke, on vehicals like this I usually start with the carpets first. That way my vinyl and ect only needs one cleaning.
Good video though
And also seats after the carpeting then panels
Good info thank you
I just bought myself a detail Pro steem cleaner for $649. Now I need myself a steamer such as you're using in the video
Great video.
So helpful thank you for all of these videos!!
I would never use the steamer that close to door windows because you can peel off the tint from the window.
Roll the windows down until it's glass cleaning time.
Hey Luke do u still use the tornador
I don't see that being used in any recent videos from him or Detail Groove. 🤔
I love your videos keep up the good work
good job man keep it up.
What do you do to sanitize ac ducts?
When extracts are you spraying the water as well or just using the tool to suck up the spray
Has anyone ever check the wire mesh used to protect the door speakers ? They hold a ton of dirt in each tiny hole.
Love how you touched on the key points of expectations. I have a question. What is the best way or how would you suggest achieving a quick dry time after steam cleaning the interior. Thank you. I enjoy learning new technics from you.
Its steam..just wipe with a microfiber towel
Really enjoyed this video not to much movement and very informative
Luke, this video was almost therapeutic to watch, thanks for sharing! Question: any issue with using APC or Super Clean on the Toyota Softek seats?
Nope not at , meguiars APC 10:1 Glad the video helped!
Always get me with ya videos.
Thank you
Is this part of maintenance package?
LIKE button “DESTROYED” 💥
Maybe an odd question, what kind of shorts are those? Link please
Great video. Can i use the costco microfibre towels to remove compound & polishes our will they scratch the paint. Thank you
Your safe I use them all the time
Those yellow plush ones correct ? In the 30 pack I think not sure
@@mr.unknowncali-life9350 yes thats right. Thanks
@Mikie Jones Thanks
what happens with the electronic parts and the steamer
I detail my family and friend's cars for fun. Maybe one a month since it's so time-consuming. I don't think most people know what goes into a car detail.

If I did this as a business, I'd either have to cut corners (like not try to vacuum up every speck of dust), or I'd charge quite a bit for a proper detail.
Definitely wouldn't do such jobs for free. Quick wash and vacuum for free for a friend is fine with me but no disgusting hard detail jobs.
Your a true “detailer” charge what your worth
Are you diluting the express was when finishing?
Comunication is key in a job like this...You as a client took a year to clean a junk car like this and most of the time you cant expect perfection...As a professional and bussiness owner you have to get every dollar you "spend" on this type of cars
Definitely!
Also I noticed that you had used the tornador in the past but prefer the steamer now. Can you explain why you don’t use the tornador? Or the advantages of not using it? Seems like you are pretty efficient with the steamer
Using them for a few years at my previous job I can tell you they take a lot of maintenance. They clog, and break all the time....
@@andrewb3941 ah gotcha. Thank you for the feedback!
I just extract the setbacks first before the seat bottom. Is there any disadvantage to that vs your way?
At the 10:37 second mark the adderall begins to take effect
;)
Jk
Wilson you do GREAT work!
What is that floating around in your spray bottle?
How do you get your APC or solution to get so foamed when agitating?
Spray the brush also
Hey just a suggestion you should put steps and key details on the screen.
If anyone could tell me, what is that spray hes using? Thanks
Love your vids... but I would be embarrassed if my car was like that 🤦♂️
That's honestly not that dirty. I used to work at a place detailing, and half the cars came in looking like this lol
What happened to switching to technicians choice?
Wilson start reacting or commenting on people that have questions
He replied to a question I posed a few weeks ago, but it took him a couple days. I can appreciate that, knowing how much work he has.
How many hours did this work take?
How many microfiber towels did you end up using on this job roughly?
My guess 12 more or less
46:54 I put the belt above the other head rest...
Yep good idea! Definitely something that can get in the way if you're not thinking
@@wilsonautodetailing you're a miracle worker
Ight..I gotta say I Been only using like 6 towels in Total for 1 dirty car is that enough??

Dang my brother lol. I know how that feels
For one you are using a spray bottle when a pump sprayer will save you more time
I say to steam the door jams .
what kind of person lets their shit get that dirty.
Detail car this this you charge like 350. 00
First
Congratulations bro.. U did it
Hell yeah
U need training fam
