own mobile car detailing business now I've been detailing cars for over 20 years already and have quite a bit of experience in the mobile car detailing business world now as you probably all know people have busy lines and the last thing on their priority list is to take care of their cars so this is where you guys come in and you can offer your services through a mobile car detailing business so a mobile car detailing business is a very practical service to have because the person can stay in the comfort of their own home call
you guys up you guys come to their houses perform your work and when you leave the car is all detailed and it looks brand new so step number one we're going to take care of your image so the first step is to find a name for your business and if you're going to make this your work you got to make sure that you register that name next you got to make sure that you have an appropriate suit to do the work meaning that you got a dress for the job very important to have a professional
so you need a nice pant a nice shirt and some appropriate shoes to wear for doing that kind of a job I can't stress how important it is for people in the detailing business to look very professional now the second biggest expense people have in their lives is usually their car so for somebody is to have trust in you to perform work on their vehicle you got to make sure that you look the part one cool thing is that you can create business cards those are easy to give out once you complete your work and
they're easy to hand out the potential summers as well you also got to go ahead and start promoting your business so you can create a webpage you can open a Facebook page you can start a YouTube channel to share some tutorials on car detailing like I do on my channel you can have social accounts like Twitter or even snapchat and you can start advertising your services through family friends and your neighborhood there is nothing better than a satisfied customer and the word come out they're going to give to you is going to help propel your
business to some new heights alright so step number two equipment you guys are going to need some basic pieces of equipment in order to perform your job so the most important one is a pressure washer you're going to need a heavy-duty hose to connect to a water supply you're going to need a weapon july's vacuum but we typically call a shop vac you're going to need an extension cords for power you're going to need some containers to carry your products and your tools of course you should technically have access to electricity and a water supply
when you get to your clients home but as you roll and as you get bigger you might want to invest into a water tank so 150 to 200 gallons is a minimum and you also want to invest in a generator so that way you can be independent as far as the electrical supply goes so who are going to be your client well you usually have two sources you're either going to be detailing cars for independent dealers or you're going to be doing work for the public so that's up to you to choose so you can
either go see some dealerships around you and offer your services they usually hire subcontractors like that on the private side to help them do the job or you can go from house to house and see just the average Joe alright so step number three the types of services you're going to perform it's very important when you start a new mobile car detailing business that you start to offer the basic services and you offer more and more as you grow or as your clients demand so the basic services you guys are going to offer to start
off are going to be the exterior washing and the interior cleaning so by exterior wash we're talking about cleaning the paint cleaning the wheels and cleaning the windows now for the interior detailing we're talking about usually a vacuum cleaning the windows dusting cleaning and protecting of all the plastic and rubber moldings clean leather seats clean carpets and upholstery and deodorize the interior result now as bonus steps you can add either a quick detail spray at the end to enhance the gloss of the vehicle or add a coat of black or paint sealant also don't forget
to apply tire dressing on the tires to give that ultimate detailed look all right so number four we're going to need some tools now you're going to need microfiber towels some high-quality microfiber towels are essential and are one of the most used tools by any professional in the car detailing business you're going to need different applicator pads to apply wax to apply tire dressing to apply the interior detailer you're going to need a squeegee for the windows you're going to need different brushes so one for the tires one for the wheels and one for the
fender wells you're going to need at least two microfiber wash myths one for the paint and one for the wheels you're also going to need three buckets so two of those buckets are to wash the paint one is going to be the rinse bucket and the one will contain the salty water and the third bucket is going to be the bucket dedicated for the wheels so by having three different buckets you avoid contamination you're going to need a leather cleaning brush and you're going to need a carpet and upholstery brush by the way don't worry
guys all the tools products and equipment that we're going to talk about in this video will be linked for your convenience in the description down below alright so step number five you're going to need some products to do a good job make sure you select some quality product that's going to help you be more efficient and also gives better results so the basic products that you're going to need are a dedicated car soap is gentle on the paint will not strip wax and it's generally pH neutral you're going to need a good quality wheel cleaner
to remove any contaminants and particles that are embedded in the wheels you're going to need a good quality glass cleaner that's ammonia free that way you won't damage any tinted windows if the customer has them you will need an interior detailer and protect so you're going to be able to wash and clean all the interior trim and - and also protect those trends against the harmful UV rays when you see a dull and cracked interior that's usually because of the sun's damaging UV rays you're going to need an air freshener and odor eliminator you're going
to need a quick detailer you're going to need a good quality carnauba wax and the paste sealant you're going to need a good quality water-based tire dressing you're going to need a leather cleaner and a leather conditioner because the leather is like human skin it needs to be treated it needs to be cleaned and it also needs to be protected and moisturized and finally you're going to need a carpet and upholstery cleaner as well to remove any stains or any calcium from the winter months all right so what I thought I'd do is also give
you some cool tips and tricks on how you can make sure you stand out from the rest of the mobile detailing crowd so one of the first things that you guys can do is to leave a list of all the work that has been done on the vehicle and the products that we'll use to perform your work this is a personalized touch that is usually very appreciated by your customers another tip is to use an interior deodorizer so when you're done people usually associate that clean smell with a fantastic job don't forget that your sense
of smell is one of the most used ones from your everyday life and usually it's associated with positive memories so if you guys do a good job the car is clean and it also smells amazing this will leave a lasting impression on your customer and trust me they will be hooked and call you back every single time another tip is to ask your customers to leave a comment on social media once you've completed the job so word of mouth travels a long way and if they can leave a positive comment or feedback on your Facebook
Twitter snapchat YouTube accounts you name it that'll be very positive people will take notice of that and want to hire you as well another tip is to always make sure you apply tire dressing on the tires this gives the ultimate detailed look and helps to convey to the customer that you guys have done a fantastic and professional job talking about professional it's very important that you guys act and the work as professional and part of that is always being on time so when you tell a customer you'll be present at a certain time you guys
got to make sure that you're present at that exact time as being professional courteous and on time are three important qualities of any professional car detailer by the way all the tips the tricks and the tutorials on how to perform any part of detailing a car are on my youtube channel so after watching this video go ahead take a couple of minutes and watch my other videos all right so we offered many basic services but as you grow your customers might eventually ask for more and that's how you'll be able to adapt and offer different
services as well for example if your customers car has damaged oxidized or dull paint or paint that has a lot of scratches in it you might want to start offering paint correction services so you're going to start by contaminating the paint with a clay bar and an iron remover you're going to then compound the paint to finish with the polishing steps and then eventually wax or seal the paint as a finishing step you'll also eventually be able to offer a waterless car wash service because there are countries states cities and provinces where water is not
easily accessible or sometimes even you can't use water according to the local laws and bylaws basically always make sure that you're up to date and all the new techniques and all the tips the tricks and the new products that are available out there so that you make sure that you're on top of your game that you're aware of anything that's going on and also that you become more efficient at the work you do so channels like mine offer you great tutorials on how to perform your work and how to stay up to date and all
the new techniques and all the new products that are out there so what kind of prices can you guys ask for the work that you're going to be doing well of course that question is very hard to answer because it depends on many factors the first and most important factor is your location what city and what country are you in for example detailing work that formed in los angeles california in the united states won't have the same price as the same work performed in montreal canada for example also there are other determining factors like the
number of years of service and experience that you guys have the types and quality of products that you're using and the amount of hours that you spend performing the duties so what i suggest is for you guys to go out there look at your competition that's in your surrounding area and ask or look at the prices that they suggest that they offer for different types of services and that way you can adjust and you'll know exactly where to start off as you grow bigger and you gain more notoriety in your field you'll be able to
ask more for the services that you perform of course never forget that when you start on your business you don't start making profits and money right away you're going to have to reinvest that money to repay for the tool the equipment the products that you guys have purchased and as you work more and make more money you're going to be able to reinvest that money re-inject it into your business will bigger and bigger possibly buy a bigger vehicle a truck to have all your equipment and tools in and also you'll be able to hire extra
workers with you so the mobile car detailing business is an amazing one you're independent you get to do what you like which is detailing cars you're going to see the customers smiles and how happy they are and trust me you'll love every single minute of it so I hope you enjoyed the video if so give it a big thumbs up if there are any questions or any topics that you'd like me to go more into depth let me know in the comment section down below take some time and stay up to date by watching all
