IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips

Күн бұрын

I have been operating a mobile detailing business for about 18 years now. In today's video, I will take you with me on a day of visiting clients and cleaning cars to show you what my days look like. Before we get into it, not everyday is the same and I chose a busy day to show you. My average day of detailing is usually in the $500-$700 range, but after all these years I have accumulated some great high end clients. People often ask me if I charge more for high end or exotics vehicles and the answer to that is yes. The process, chemicals, etc... are the same, but with really high end vehicles the liability is much larger and my pricing will reflect that. Even your insurance policy will be more expensive with the higher coverage limits to cover these types of vehicles, so you have to build that in to your pricing. This video is pretty different than what I normally do, so please let me know if you liked it and if you want more of this type of content... ENJOY!!!

I appreciate the transparency. A lot of youtubers beat around the bush when it comes to listing their prices, which makes it hard for a beginner to know what to charge. Favorite detailing channel by far, keep it up brother

@shavfx3574 6 ай бұрын

Thought the Same when I started. Good way to do it is work out what you want your hourly wage to be - expenses and come up with your prices and then work out how long for your services. You can check out your competition to gauge pricing but you don’t always have to compete with super low prices as you don’t want to work for peanuts. At the same time the more expensive pricing may be due to the detailers experience. Know your worth and do what’s best for you.

bro i subbed a long time ago for your cheap pressure washer reviews but this is the best upload from you by far. i hate when guys online/on youtube fluff everything and make it seem more glamorous than it is or has to be. just an honest days work with a great list of customers. cheers man!

@Lukebigrig 6 ай бұрын

It's cool you have a solid customer base that you have built trust with and know you can get the job done and be reliable. That in itself is worth a lot, the customer doesn't have to worry about coming to you or witch vehicle to bring lol you just get it done. Pretty awesome.

@jhiggi7282 5 ай бұрын

I definitely liked the video. I appreciate the broad perspective of product reviews you do. However, what I’m looking for is how to gauge what type of work you actually get. It would give clarity how to model a business in detailing and what type of revenue you should hope to realistically obtain. I want more videos like this. I also appreciated the time frame you provided to complete the jobs in the video. As a novice it gives you an idea on a time line you should hope to meet if doing comparable jobs.

I’ve made 200 videos in 8 months and struggling to gain subscribers. I’m trying as hard as I can to remain consistent. But working another full time job with 2 kids is starting to get out of hand! ❤️😅 any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Excellent video. I have the same van, and a lot of the same cars to maintain too. Rolls, Bentleys, Teslas, a white version of the Lincoln (man the tailgate glass and trim holds an insane amount of water right?). Thanks for sharing what a real day looks like, even with problem solving when you have to adjust on the fly. Real world. More of these would be great. Collab please if you ever make it up to monterey, and if you're up for a guest when we go to lego land I'd love to join you

Im in my second full year as a mobile detailer, was a chef for 27 yrs, Thank you for all you put out here. Your product reviews are extremely helpful, seeing "a day in the life" is just as interesting. Always wondered what everyone else does throughout their day, thank you for that, I'm not the only one who leave the van dirty after a long day 😂 I've built up a few monthly customers, a few construction truck accounts as well. I'm on instagram and Facebook, any suggestions to acquire new business?
