      Actually, several people comment on these videos that we'd be interested in seeing how much difference he could make to a car that already looks 'clean' at first glance.
      It would probably only take 1-2 of those kinds of videos, to be an example; but many people think, 'well, my car is pretty neat already, so why should I get it detailed?' I think people would be surprised how much of a difference it would still make!

  • @sparkplug1018
    @sparkplug1018 2 года назад

    Excellent detail man. One thing I noticed though that you can do to go that even further extra mile is addressing that rusty seat mount. Product I love using for things like that is Eastwood Internal Frame Coating, goes on right over the rust and dries to a matte black finish, the rusty bit just looks off against the perfectly clean carpet.
    Also if the cover over the stud is missing like in a lot of cars with some mileage, can use rubber vacuum caps to cover the stud after you put the nut back on.
    I don't detail cars to often, but those are some tiny things Ive picked up over the years to take care of those picky little things that just grab your attention.

One thing I’m stuck on is how much to charge my customers. How much do you charge, and is there a certain amount I should start at then charge more the better I get at detailing? I’d really like your thoughts in this. Thanks man. Keep doing what you’re doing.

    Just received my detail geek drying towels. Quality of the towels are great. But they don’t do what they’re supposed to. They do not absorb water nearly as well as my previous micro fibre towels. They leave water streaks like you wouldn’t believe. Now that’s obviously not a problem when buffing and polishing right after but for my ceramic coat and being a black car it does bother me being able to see every drop of water it didn’t absorb.

    I’m hoping I could maybe get some cleaning advice. I have a 2002 dodge neon, it stayed with a friend/mechanic for a couple months and when I got it back I discovered a ton of liquid had been sitting in my trunk for a while. There was a mysterious liquid that got under the carpet, mold and some bugs that I still can’t identify. I spent 4 or more hours cleaning the carpet with a shampooer. I used water, vinegar and soap all as different passes. I had to lift the carpet and dry underneath as much as I could. Even after letting it dry outside with doors open and the carpeting lifted for airflow underneath, I still have the mold smell and bugs months later. I can’t decide if I should try again to get it clean or just rip out the carpet in my trunk at this point

    I always appreciate when you explain your reasoning for using one tool or instrument over another. There''s a carpet cleaning channel i watch (a very ASMR-like effect in the middle of the night, I can tell you!) where the fellow never explains his variance from a predictable order of steps or why sometimes it looks like one tool attachment is different from how it usually looks.
    I also have to say that I've come to love the predictable dumping of the muck bucket from the extractor with the exclamation, "GROSS!"
