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?

@@CaterhamMatt he might've done some stuff off camera. it's also about appropriate efficiency. trim doesn't need to be masked for all polishes and the IPA wipe down is only when you got wax residue on, still. but this paint might've already been pretty clear from such when the car got in. residue control is mainly when you've other vehicles in the garage. and he might've blown out or changed the pad frequently off camera. because he also tries to keep the video length under control.

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!

I’m sure many people would be very interested in a video like that

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.

Oh gosh I feel your pain. When I used to work at an auto body shop, I had to do paint correction on a black Lexus with paint that was about this bad. It took 2.5 days of endless buffing to get all the swirls out and of course, black Is the hardest color to buff because it shows EVERYTHING. Thankfully it looked amazing when I was done, and then you want to know the kicker? The car came back a week later with the whole left side messed up. Apparently a forklift backed into it and the whole left side was repainted. I was crushed 😂 excellent job as always on this car!!
