Every fucking time I see someone pressure washing an engine or spraying their cleaner directly onto the dashboard, console electronics etc it bothers me so bad. You shouldn't be doing any of that due to the fact you could damage electrical components in the engine or in your dash, radio and so on. Use a spray bottle and spray directly into your detailing brush and for the engine pressure wash around the actual engine itself and use a spray bottle that way it's not forcing water into the alternator, hoses, intake, spark plugs and other major components

Depends on what type of process you’re doing for the exterior. Like iron bath or pre-foam, I always spray bottom and work my way up. For a normal wash it’s practical to spray top to bottom
Let me tell you why you should pressure wash bottom up. When you go from bottom up the water pushes the soap and water into the car paint so it’s a natural powerful cleaning motion it makes your soap work more rather than just washing it away. If you go top to bottom by the time you get to bottom all the soap will be gone. Remember you want to get the most out of the soap first not wash it away before it did its maximum cleaning.
@@MiniNinja258bro I’ve worked at and know people who’ve worked at several car washes and truck washes. They all teach you to wash from the top down. Not to mention 90% of detailing how to videos on youtube they tell you to wash top down.
Depends what you’re going for. If you’re going just for maintenance washes it’s almost redundant unless if you’re applying a wax based sealant or have been asked to buff out a scuff. For first starting out, a wet vac would be more beneficial as you can offer interior deep cleans, not just a hoover and wipe
@@sammilburn445 that is true , but speaking from experience the best move I made for my business was learning how to polish properly and best way of starting is by using a DA very little chances of accidents. I do agree tho a wet vac is probably 3rd on the list of things you should have for detailing/valeting
how do you recommend washing the engine? i have an audi a8 L 2012 and it has a cover on it but i want to wash it what do i use and how do i go about it
@@shaneshonda not really, I've detailed cars myself and I've gotten great results without a compressor, it's a matter of, is money worth more than time, yes a compressor is nice but it only speeds things up, for the average person they won't need one, professionals if they work by hour, yes they would probably use one, is a use by case situation
@vastjab1923 I worked for a guy doing mobile that worked at a high end dealership for over 25 years and the chemicals we used had to be dried with air to be streak free.how do you clean and dry vents and around all the buttons all around the car with out air.
@@shaneshonda I personally use small microfiber towels that I cut up, along with a small dowel to get into the vents. In all fairness I've only been doing this for a few months so I've got a lot to learn.
how would you go about advertising yourself for clients? I've just started doing this have all the tools and I've been joining facebook groups posting my price sheet what i can offer and making a facebook page dedicated to this and I've been having trouble getting any jobs
going door to door might work, especially in a nicer neighborhood. the profitability of detailing really varies on where you live (pretty much how many rich people with nice cars are in your area) whenever you do get a call to detail for someone you could ask them if you could record it and post it on multiple different platforms as a method of advertising and maybe making some money off of youtube Instagram etc
@@EduByteTVofficial oof that's rough I've always been bad at door to door sales. I worked for blue raven solar for a while and never got a sale. but maybe i"ll be better at selling myself instead of a multi million dollar company LOL I thought about doing videos as well but that may have to work off as my phone can hardly run itself and takes pictures that rivals the quality of phones in the early 2000s
@@ravenousoreo lol i hear u on the phone... iphone 8 still going strong. I would suggest looking into door to door sales and see what you could be doing differently to get more sales or something like that
@@EduByteTVofficial I've gotten a couple customers from going door to door! I think what really helps is people like to hear about a business you're starting instead of some big corpo you're working for lol

Maintenance washes are most likely first jobs. With little experience most aren’t going to approach clients about a full paint correction. Could be used to apply a wax sealant but with ceramics currently a spray or foam makes more sense
Avoid using a pressure washer on the inside of your engine bay to prevent damage.
The poor altenator
But if u hold the pressure washer far enough it wont damage anything. Learn something buddy

I usually put a bag over things like fuse boxes, alternators, and coil packs.
You don't put anything other than soapy water on the pedals. Most of these cleaners might make them slippy, which you really don't want.
Did you just pressure wash the engine?!
Yea that's pretty standard
Standart to have electrical problém 😂😂
@SmarthPhonesCz everything is dc, it's basically waterproof as long as it's not submerged for a long time
@@EliKazmi dc or not, you accelerate corrosion on the connections and wiring harnesses
it’s fine if you dry it out good

You dont pressure wash from the bottom, you start from up cause it drips down.
Depends on what type of process you’re doing for the exterior. Like iron bath or pre-foam, I always spray bottom and work my way up. For a normal wash it’s practical to spray top to bottom

Dont use the pressure washer on the inside of your engine bay. Thats too much pressure for the electronics
How much intotal?

Brake buster doesn't turn pink that's a decon
This is the most obvious information ever… “if you want to walk you need two feet” absolute waste of time
Also air blower and steamer
Did you spray into an open intake?
yes...
Cleaning your engine……. What would your battery and electric components think of that?
Could you provide link to products you have shown? Thanks
No.

Every detailer I've ever known would have put a high psi air compressor at #1 and you never mentioned it.shows how amatuer you really are.
I have never seen a detailer in my area use a compressor, they are nice but not necessary.
I wouldn't call them a detailer then.its 100% necessary

Don't

Omg did you stain that rim 😮
Um you shouldn’t pressure wash engine cause it could damage the alternator and maybye cause a short in the system

What kind of attachment do you get for the drill when cleaning the interior?
I did detailing for 15 years, I never used a brush attachment.
No sponges

@@sammilburn445 Interesting point.
If I want top notch cleaning I go use ice cleaning.
now i'm wondering the cost per contract 😅
50 for interior 50 for exterior is a good starting rate.
Not all customers will give you free electricity if you don’t have a generator for your pressure washer and air compressor.
