Sooooo....took your advice...straight up woke up to my paycheck, didn’t tell my wife anything, went and got a pressure washer, vacuum, generator, etc. offered to wash my neighbors car for free yesterday....literally got four clients, finished two. It was insano!!!! I feel like I fell off a mountain right now, but super happy I found your videos a while back man! I’ve been mentally plotting for a while, but I couldn’t have asked for a better first day, and your videos, the Gems 💎 you drop bro, 💯 they are appreciated!

Shayaan Khan I probably could I haven’t. I went and bought a “teeter hang up system “ from someone off Offer Up, the guy told me he was putting his house up for rent, and I told him I could pressure wash his driveway and patio, to enhance the look. I charged a really low price because I felt like if his neighbors saw, I could probably make more off of them wanting that to be done. So that, Instagram, I was considering washing my car in high traffic areas like plazas, and if someone asked if they could be next...I could literally stop cleaning my car and start cleaning theirs.

That's cool man! I'm also planning to start this business but I don't know where to start. In a city like mine most people don't have big houses with backyards. I think I should just buy basic equipment, take a partner with me and walk up to people's houses in my neighborhood.

Shayaan Khan that’s a great way to start off for sure especially if you live in a more rural area, try and establish your services somewhere on instagram or facebook so you can show off your work as well! Set up some type of contact info whether it be an e-mail or a phone number people can contact you at. Slowly transition from door to door to them reaching out to you.

hey all right! asked you this question about your setup and breakdown time and you took the time to not only answer it, but give a demonstration as well! kudos Oscar thank you very much. I have done a few paying jobs and it seems I need to hire someone after I'm done to help put away the mess I have on the driveway. Extension cords, hoses, wash buckets, towels etc. Man it's a chore in itself just to get it put away, 20 to 30 minutes! Great advice. I'll concentrate on putting away as I'm finished cause as you said after 2-3 hours in that hot Texas sun...whew! I just wanna get out of there. Looking to improve my efficiency in ALL aspects of my business and develop good habits and constantly improve on those as well. keep the videos coming and thanks again.

The only reason you think it makes yourself look less professional is because you're telling yourself it's less professional to use the customers water and power.

@@antoniomoya4625 Business success is all about setting expectations. If you set expectations with the customer of using their water supply and electric and price yourself accordingly there is no surprise for the customer and no loss of image. Customers such as you, who expect a mobile detailer to provide everything, would simply select a different business with no loss to your reputation. Problems only come up when your process isn't explained clearly and correctly. The customer should have a clear understanding of your process.

Oscar, Hello my name is John. Very helpful information as I am considering doing my own detailing business. I have allot of years on my own cars along with cars of friends and family which all have said you should do this professionally. I was raised into a family that consistently had classic cars in which my father was my mentor introducing me to proper techniques for detailing. I am now 40 years old and probably started close to 14 years of age. Times have changed along with products for efficiency. I currently work as a Production Manager for the Aerospace industry. The pay is good well over 100 K. Always wanted to do this professionally (detailing). Do not want to quit job until I know for sure this will be a success. Not prying or at least not trying to. However with the proper marketing is 100 grand or more achievable? Also mobile services seems to be the best new way for service. I would imagine putting a 30 to 50 mile cut off would be ideal? I have a lincoln Navigator which all eqipment would fit in the back, but surely is a gas hog. Only vehicle available at this time as my wife uses our other vehicle. Anyways thanks in advance for the info. In addition your videos are informative and appears you are organized as I am just by letting us first timers in business detailing aware. This along with knowing better more efficient ways of equipment loading. In many ways time is everything. Being efficient by being organized is key and can be a huge time saver in the overall detailing experience. Thanks again and look forward to hearing from you.

You're welcome! So YES, with the proper sales/marketing, operational efficiency, and financial keeping (taxes/bookkeeping), generating $100K in top line revenue is very doable. This answer is going to be very different than all my other answers, but if I was you, I would do the following (this is a SUPER high level overview): I would not think about leaving my day job to do detailing. I would instead because a master local business marketer and generate tons of traffic and leads. I would then have a van setup with an employee that goes out and does the jobs. I would be the guy that generates traffic and leads, and the technician would close the deals and service the customers. You'll take your main income and use that to fund your side business. You can have MUCH faster growth this method. But if you'd like more specific help, shoot me an email to oscar (@) detailgroove (dot) co

How much time does it take to do the interior provided theres no stains or problem areas? How much time to do the exterior if its a pickup truck, SUV, or a 4 door sedan to do a wash and wax? Clean the tires, even though that can vary? Clean the grill and polish it? Do you just take cash? When do they pay? Do you ever do clean up jobs when they're gone? Do you verify that they have the cash in hand before starting? What if the truck is filthy? Where I live, it's very hot in the summer and certain car products it says not to use in direct sunlight.
