      Serious question: I saw your video a while back on how to start your own detailing business. I've started my own last year, but where I'm at, people don't want to pay. I started off only charging $75 for a full interior and exterior detail and I only had 3 people hire me, two of which were family. The least amount of time it has taken to detail a car is 6 hours, which I feel is reasonable, however, people want me to only charge $50 or less. At $75 per vehicle for 6 hours minimum, that's only $12.50 per hour. I make a lot more than that at my regular full time job. I don't want to detail for free. I don't mind charging $75 right now until I get more experience under my belt, but it's hard to get customers because they want to pay so little. I do a great job and from the 3 people I detailed for, I've had a lot of referrals call me, but they all think I am charging too much.
      I guess my question is, how do you get people to trust in your prices for the great detail job and service instead of thinking you're paying too much?

    Hi from France! My 4 year old is obsessed with your videos 😁 I can't clean my car without him. I got him a set of brushes, cloths and sprays so he can help. The result is never good enough for him as he reaches for your standards! When we're done, he starts humming the theme you usually use for the reveal at the end of your videos. Thank you so much for your videos!

Thanks for showing us step by step how you eliminated those swirls--this car's "before" looks like mine does now, as I do go to automatic car washes. You made the exterior gleam! Also had no idea about the Nismo version--interesting trim. Thanks for another great video for a Friday!

    Great paint correction results! Because the Sentra is black and it’s hard to see how much tar might be on it, I use Carpro’s T.R.I.X. first to remove both tar and any iron fall outs that’s on the paint before clay barring. And when clay barring, I use Chemical Guy’s clean slate instead of a detailer as the lubricant, and to clean the paint at the same time. You’ll find the clay bar won’t be as filthy as a result in the end.
