If a customer gives me regular work I'm always happy to do a bit extra for them, don't get me wrong I'm not going to do a 2 step when they're paying for a wash, but as long as you keep it within reason, they will keep bringing you business over and over, keep smashing it guys
Dude love your channel but i can't download your ultimate guide I put in my email but it just keep loading it stays at 50% .. am i the only one experiencing that problem and how I can fix it
Honestly that’s a good price, you have a shop, employees to pay, all of that stuff. I recently did a 2010 Mazda 3 in black and I did a full exterior wash, decon, tree sap removal, engine degreased, dressed, headlight wet sanding with 3000 grit since they weren’t bad at all, polish, seal the headlights, exterior received a one step with Meguiar’s 166 and a foam cutting pad, exterior tires and trim dressed, interior received a thorough wipe off of all interior surfaces, spot treated headliner, windows cleaned, the usual interior light cleaning, nothing crazy, I charged the guy $300, but that’s him dropping it off at my place, I don’t have employees to pay or any of that, so $600 is a great price considering the expenses you have over me, the whole job took me about 10 hours solo, the car was about as bad as this or a little worse in certain areas. $600 is a deal, it’s a lot of work.
You netted around $25/ hour. If that’s cool with you perfect! If not make sure you’re sticking to at least your minimum hourly rate. I know it’s easy to just want the money cause $300 is $300 but allow your customer to understand your day costs X amount of money and you cant do it for any less. 10 hours of work though I bet you were dead after, keep grinding!
@@bryanmeza7041 more like $30 an hour, but yeah it was a buddy from work, he’s done a lot of favors for me there so I hooked him up, I don’t do this for a living, it’s only something I occasionally do on the side.
@@STILLNIGHTPEARL right but I assumed around $50 of products must’ve been used minimum but yea i thought you had a business was just trying to give you a little more confidence on how to charge your worth.
@@bryanmeza7041 I doubt it was anything near that, I used mostly Meguiar’s hyper wash for the wash and clay, maybe 3 or 4 ounces of 166 for the whole car, super clean degreaser diluted 4:1 on the wheels, there’s no way I spent $50, not even with water and electricity included, but then again I’ll never know, it has to be an irrelevant amount to be honest. I only do this for friends and family anyways, it’s not about the money that much, if I did it for a living then that’s a different story, it was an easy $300 cash that day, one of those kind of gigs, I took my breaks, lunch, wasn’t rushing it at all.
$300 seems like a lowball any time your polishing an entire car. Just considering a full detail: wash, decon,clay, seal is around 200-250 starting and HAS to be done before polishing that can take up to 4 hours. How long did the one step take?
My guess is this customer brings these in prior to him flippin lmao. The $600 he spends on the detail probably gets him another $1-2k on his asking price easily.
Just curious, I had seen you didn’t remove the battery. Is that safe to do? Just curious if you had to remove it. Have an engine detail tomorrow, but I’ve always removed the battery. Am I wasting my time?
i know i’m not the poster of this video BUT i’ve used both, and i honestly feel like it’s a pain to use, it can get over the front fenders and sometimes the bumper and with a spray bottle i can direct it better and if i need more or less in a spray i can change it. it’s extra time to set it up and extra time to clean up the dressing. that’s my take
I charge about $795 for the services you did on the Toyota. Charging only $600 was a great deal and you have built a long-term relationship with a valuable customer. Repeat business is really important when running a successful detailing shop.

What would you have done differently? 🙈
Everything except interior windows
Prob a little ceramic coat instead of headlight restoration

What are things to look for when doing an engine cleaning, specifically older cars with older wires and stuff?
Bro, at 1:55-the way you said "7.5"😭😭👍
What pads were used for the DA??
What protection you guys use for the Toyota? Great info as always 👍🙂
what kind of handheld device were you using for the sandpaper on the headlight restoration

Hey buddy, is that a griots G13 or G8 ?
What brand buffer is that ? What products do you use to bring back plastic to a shine from being faded ... and what brand soap is that u use ?
Buffers are Griots Garage
Engine washing? Is it safe?
Is a tip expected on a $600 detail package? just curious thanks

Great job guys💯

yes no need to remove battery, unless you want to waste time LOL, but sometimes theres acid residue white stuff under the battery if its bad
Good job, especially for a good customer.
Have you ever considered a paint gun with air compressor to apply engine bay dressing?

Looks good to me. Where are you based out of?
