I'm 100% committed to my business and it's success, put in alot of hard work. If you think about it me working 84-90 hours a week is essentially like the equivalent of getting in 2 years worth of work & experience in just one year. Thanks for your feedback brother...appreciate you!
I would've been nervous too! Have you considered a tornador? Game changer for us! Also a game changer for air vents, damp rag with some interior spray on it, hold over the vent and tornado it! like new every time!!
I do the same thing with my towels. I get em at Costco and toss em when done. Only wash the drying towels 💪🏼💪🏼 just hit 25 5star reviews. Can’t wait to get on your level man! 🏁🏁
Smart man! Even if you just get 2 new reviews per week you will achieve 100 in a year... my goal is at least 4 new reviews per week minimum 200 per year.
@@topstardetailing at first I was never really asking for them, it makes a huge difference when you get them, it’s been getting me more and more business every week I’m booked now. Found me on google ✅
Nah, but appreciate the compliment. I worked in the fitness industry for a while managing high end health clubs so spent alot of time working out, not so much these days... I'm lucky to get in the gym maybe once or twice a week with my work schedule. People tell me I work way too much, but I honestly enjoy it man... I'm the type of person that likes to always be doing something productive with my time. Thanks for the support my brother!
That's a good price for that. Depending on how long it's been sitting not sure if it gets embedded into the hard plastics the longer it sits. That MYTEE takes forever to set up.
Yeah I think it was a fair price! It wasn't too bad, I have done worse for the same money ;) Yes... definitely some assembly required on the MYTEE! LOL
Love your videos and how customer service is always number 1 which I agree too. With that being said. Would you be so kind to share what brand and product you use and get your micro fiber towels from and which one you use on glass windows. Thank you in advance.
Thank You... I appreciate your feedback! I try to match the 4 seasons level of customer service in my business... it is a major contributor to building a strong winning brand. The links are all listed below the videos for all of the products I'm currently using.
If you are getting booked out at those prices then Start by raising your prices in 10% increments go from $150 to $165, then once you are getting booked out at those prices raise them another 10%. It's too big of a jump to raise 20% ($50) at once and you may lose a good portion of your customers... unless you grandfather them in and raise the prices for new customers.
I like using a virgin towel on glass, any kind of detergents, rags to riches even, tend to cause them to streak, I like the Autofiber Roll O Rags which are a tearaway roll, I use it on the glass, then maybe like you said, wipe down the door jambs after even when theyre still damp from the glass cleaning, then maybe after the door jambs Ill hit the wheels with them for a buff... then in the garbage they go
Normal laundry detergent can damage the fibers of the micro fiber towels and they may not work as well, maybe fine for small towels/rags but I wouldn't recommend on the more expensive drying towels.
Spare change: Typically loose change under seats etc it gets vacuumed up, if its loose change that is pretty obvious to see along seats, carpets, center console etc, I'll bag it up for the customer. 9 out of 10 times they let me keep the change too lol
I have found $20 bills under the seats sometimes so I always double check under the seats first to be sure I don't accidentally vacuum any bills up. I have had customers usually tell me to keep it and that they appreciate my integrity for letting them know.
Thats what i charge 100$ an hour for details , all depending on he expectations of the customers. Most customers dont expect the car or vehicle to be brand new most understand it will look the best we can get to to
@@stilleysmobiledetailing1696 we think alike… I offered him a complimentary exterior wash, but they were in town for the Vegas to Reno offroad race and he said it’s going to get filthy anyway so don’t waste your time ;)
@ i dont know how you do it, ive tried my best to lower my prices in my area (rural foothills of central Ca sierras lake tulloch,Copperopolis) a new customer calls and i have some spare time so i say can i come out & see the vehicle (Porsche Maroni) yes you can; so i go out look at it,meet the client, she mentions my parents will be here too can you just do a wash on their kia sorento the same day? I say yes ill do my express wash clay seal w/vacuum & thorough wipedown of interior at $229 on your Porsche and wash theirs ehh make it $299 for both your Express Detail & their Handwash w/vacuum Bro!” It took me 2&1/2 hours just to do the handwash & it only added $60 to the job, it rained off & on during the job i was very frustrated and never even had the chance to get to her Porsche, i offered to come back in the am do the Porsche but she seemed off putting, even Zelled me the $60 for the handwash and never really gave a firm answer about my offer to return. Dunno if its the rainy weather or cuz it took me so long to do the wash on parents or what but im thinking i gotta stop offering handwashing only for $60 cuz honestly it takes me 2-3 hours and 4-5 hours just to do one Express and i cant figure out how to get more sparing on my 50g tank . I use almost all of it on ONE vehicle … and man im just fried trying to figure this out
Wait a minute, so you are using dirty towels from the last job to a new one or are you using new towels every job? I didn’t quite understand that last part. Drying towels i got you but for your other towels like the glass and interior you said you don’t wash them so im assuming you’re either using new towels for every job OR you’re using old towels from previous jobs for new jobs is that what im getting here? 🤷🏻♂️
Always brand new towels for glass and interior wipe downs, but after that they become door jam towels, tire rags, engine rags...etc There's no point in using NEW towels to clean an engine bay or to wipe grimey tires, door jams right? Make sense?
@@topstardetailingI've heard Pan the Organizer say that there is debris in the microfiber from the factory. Ever tried washing them before use, or always gotten best results using freshies?
@@0togtr811 yeah much better to have open days and hope to get new customers than the schedule already booked with paying customers… a bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush bro. Plus I have built a strong enough brand to where my clients will wait for my service and pay the prices I charge without trying to negotiate. I also have maintenance clients in my schedule that I can move around if necessary as well as another detailer that I collaborate with to take my overflow for a split when im full… I am in the process of hiring detailers and building out another mobile unit… appreciate your input, but trust me I know what I’m doing and have it under control ;)
I have a different approach on being booked out. I know it’s a hotly contested subject. I’m pretty much always booked out 2-3 weeks, sometimes longer in summer months. Some people might think this is bad service, but I’ve had the opposite experience : 1) this allows me to be extra extra choosy with any customers I take. If I know I’m booked out, I don’t have to be worried about taking every client 2) I develop an even more loyal customer base. The customers that are willing to wait for my service typically appreciate my high demand, and are that more eager to wait for me 3) perhaps the most important, I have peace of mind knowing my future revenue stream and I have predictability in my business. I think the last point is highly important for new business owners especially (me included ) I am right at the level where I should bring on another employee , but I am waiting to build up my business cash reserves a bit more before doing it. Let the debates begin..
@@topstardetailing ok. I thought about sending some work your way because I've moved away from the simple cash wash and interior cleaning to surface protection more so often ppf and wraps more people are seeing the advantage of film protection then a ceramic coating that will still get rock chips and stretching but it seems u don't need the help.

Looks like a Chase truck for a race team. Looking at the dump cans in the bed.
Yeah they had the Vegas to Reno race going on that week and there were hundreds of race trucks & trailers, toy haulers full of racing buggys in town.
Great jobs 🎉🎉

I do $150 basic inside outside for sedans but i always take about 2 1/2 hours so i need to start raising my price closer to $200 like you.

Omg. I wash towels everydayyyy
Me too! But only the big drying towels
I just wash em with with hypoallergenic laundry detergent lol I don't even use rags to riches
