I started Detailing as a side business since COVID started. You just introduced me to leather ceramic coating 😂 that’s definitely something im going to be looking into adding in my business. You’re an inspiration bud! Keep up the good work
Good video bro just a friendly reminder or comment Don’t forget the prep any surface with 50/50 alcohol & water or prep solución… this process help any coating to bundle with any surface good video bro
@@PolishedMobileDetailing503 the base of any prep cleaning it’s alcohol bro .. Tesla,Volvo ,jaguar and Land Rover have the solution base en alcohol to clean the leather seats ..
I recently started detailing and want to do a ceramic coating. It looks fairly easy to do and I feel it would be hard to mess up but with it being my first time doing it what should I charge? Maybe just have the client cover the cost of supplies?
No… you’re charging for your work along with the supplies, don’t short change yourself. It is fairly easy, but your charging for the convenience part of it. Anyone can ceramic coat seats, it’s just a matter of who’s willing to do the work. So I would tell you to charge for supplies plus a little something for you to pocket for your time and efforts. And since you’re starting, I’d say $100-$150 for two front seats plus 2nd row. If there is a 3rd row, charge more
You don't/can't polish matte paint, it would chew up your pad. Ceramic coating is super easy on matte cars, wash, chemical decontamination then paint prep then coating. There are matte specific coatings, no polishing no clay bar required!
Fr I remember when I use to work in a car wash , my manager made me polish and wax a matte paint and omg man that car came out soo bad even tho I told the manager you can’t do that to a car like that ☠️
@@lynxestxmp1932 I wouldn't doubt it. Gloss paint is a more flat clear coat, hense when you polish, you level out the surrounding clear coat so that scratch basically dissappears, or get rounded off. Matte clear cost is very bumpy, and uneven, reducing the shine, so if you do try to level that out with a polish, I can imagine how bad it would look haha. But don't get discouraged, it's such an easy ceramic coating install, easy sell as it doesn't cost nearly as much to the customer either.
How do you maintain or clean it after being ceramic coated? What can you use to clean them and what CANT you use? can you still use conditioner later on?
After ceramic coating, you should use leather cleaner mild. A conditioner won't accomplish much as you have encapsulated the leather in a layer of ceramic. The ceramic does add UV protection as well to slow sun degradation as well.
@@jayeast3830 flawless. i never wear blue jeans, so can't tell you about that, but my white seats are still looking brand new. every week or so i just spend 2 min wiping it down with baby wipes no matter if i see dirt or not.
i followed these steps on my black leather but im left with high and low shine streaks. also, the leather looks a bit faded in some areas like a think layer of chalk. how can i fix this?
Seats were cleanish you don’t want to scrub or agitate too hard can remove dye or fade the leather James did the right thing. And for his time, materials , gas in vehicle, gas in generator, coating, supplies, employee cost, taxes, insurance you start to see why it’s 75$ per seat and that is a FAIR price it should be 100$ a seat EASY w an employee to be profitable. I can tell you don’t run a business homie
Only dumb people pay to get this done. You can EASILY do it yourself. I own a new Porsche and Maserati… I do the wash/ detail, ceramic c coat myself and you save a TON of money .
Young guys out there hustling it's awesome
And the camera guy is awesome too he makes the videos good to with all these questions he ask
Agree bro makes the videos interesting. Tips and Tricks 👀
Fr his voice funny 😂💪🏻
@@jessegarcia2694 ay that’s Reyes the entrepreneur 😤 put some respect on him
Agreed
Just needs new songs...
Dude motivated me to start detailing and washing cars the right way Lol You & Ammo NYC are straight forward with how to do the job right.
james getting compared to larry means he fricking made it, i am 28 own my own fulltime detailing company and james still motivates me.
@@Theguitarskater1 Never compared them? Where did I compare them?
Quick tip: you should close the ceramic coating bottle so it doesn’t crystallize! Besides that good work brother
I started Detailing as a side business since COVID started. You just introduced me to leather ceramic coating 😂 that’s definitely something im going to be looking into adding in my business. You’re an inspiration bud! Keep up the good work
The ceramics are great money makers 👍
Never saw you guys before this video. You have an honest approach and the questions the cameraman asks are on point. Great context guys
LMAO James with the Sox hat and Michael with the Yankees. LOVE it- now that's detail
Leather seat coating is an excellent upsell. Please charge more for this service.You never polish matte paint. I respect the hustle. 👍
You can polish matte. You just need the proper products
I did this to my model Y white seats. First time doing it fairly easy
What was the product?
@@chickenmuffin gyeon leather shield

James with the fresh cut
Good video bro just a friendly reminder or comment Don’t forget the prep any surface with 50/50 alcohol & water or prep solución… this process help any coating to bundle with any surface good video bro
The Gyeon cleaner does this. You don’t put alcohol on leather seats.
@@PolishedMobileDetailing503 the base of any prep cleaning it’s alcohol bro .. Tesla,Volvo ,jaguar and Land Rover have the solution base en alcohol to clean the leather seats ..
@@PolishedMobileDetailing503 but if you talking about Honda leather seats that’s not leather that’s vinyl
Once again, Great Video. Have a good week James....
Good Job, Maybe a before and after test to show the ceramic coating works !??
He knows his stuff!
I would love for one day to have you work on my car. This thing has so many stuck on dirt that it almost looks like water calcification.
This channel is so Dope, I Hope it ascends in an upwards Slope! TopClassDetail Nails every Sale. A Star, that sets a high Bar and cannot be Marred.
Ok James, how can I get a "Top Class Detail" T-Shirt?????
$150 just to ceramic coat 2 front seats 👏🏽. I would be scared to give someone that price
Good work bro I keep learning new stuff on every video🔥
Nice work James!
BMW has to fix it, good job on damage control & prevention by turning it down.

Good job James!
Good job mike 💕
Daaaaamn James went from looking like James, from looking like an Edgar real quick.

Have you tried using Adams polishes grapheme ceramic coating ?

I used this coating on my brand new white tesla seats
Did it turn out good

Does 1 bottle take care of a full interior or will 1 bottle enough for multiple cars?
Will this work on suede
Great informative video
Nice. How long will the ceramic coating last?
Anyone else hate when the dude interrupts James to ask what he’s doing like shut up let him do his thing
I like it, actually. When you've seen countless detail videos of guys doing there thing, having the other guy talking is welcomed
What technique should I “juice”?
dope video bro !
Do you know a ceramic coat for leather that DOES leave it shiny when dry?
Does is 'dry' as a gloss or matte? Is there a choice? Thanks!
where can I get those bottle holders on the door? and how did you hang them up?
Nice job!
Thank you
Good job bro👍

“Why would people coat LETTER ?”
Low I feel like the coating is unnecessary
Great videos kid, but it seems like your always chewing gum or candy. Kinda distracting.

Only dumb people pay to get this done. You can EASILY do it yourself. I own a new Porsche and Maserati… I do the wash/ detail, ceramic c coat myself and you save a TON of money .
$500 each seat. Take it or leave it
I dig it haha but you would send a lot of people packing lol 😂
