I’ve been thinking for a week starting auto detailing business and didn’t know how to start, so I watch your videos today actually came across your channel the way you break everything much more simple then a thought it would and gives me more confidence to start detailing
Tony I’m glad you find the videos helpful 👍🏻 Thank you for watching!
Good way to start is cleaning family’s cars for cheap and making little profit to get practice on cleaning different cars
@@detailingbeyondlimits 7:40
The hardest part is the begging.
@@ryanduke2368right.
I appreciate the free game. Show people you can start where ever
Thank you for watching! :)
Wrote everything down from the 500 and 150 budget and I’ll mix em together get a good range thank you bro frl
As detailer now this is a great way to get started especially if you charge $150-$200 for each car. But you have to spend money to make money .
Thanks for commenting!
Great video. Your Walmart seems to have quite a great selection, mine is very limited to say the least.
Another great video! Keep up the good work really enjoy watching as always
Thanks again Enrique! 👍🏻
Thanks , great video man. Trying to help my little brother get his own business set up. Keep doing your thing
That’s awesome Gary! Thank you for watching 👍🏻
Just know bro I just found your videos and you already a inspiration I detail from home and there’s a lot of stuff I didn’t know 🤝
Nice Angel, thank you for watching! 👍🏻
Just a few pieces of feedback from a fellow detailer. If you live in an area that does the get hot enough to thoroughly dry tire shine, I’d recommend just going for a thorough clean on the tires rather than tire shine and another product that I would get in addition to the ones listed, is Simple Green, its great for removing brake dust and such that might otherwise be hard to get rid of
Thanks for sharing.
you can always use a plastic card to scrap brake dust off
I Recently bought Those Detailing Brushes for the Interior and Exterior They Work Great!!
Awesome!
This is great, perfect to begin a business with, remember to always reinvest your income into better equipment and products. Especially an air compressor, makes life 10x easier especially on interiors.
That’s right, you want to always invest back into your business! 👍🏻
Im thinking to do mobile detailing but I don’t have money yet to get a van with a water tank setup. I don’t know if people would be ok to use their water and electrical( I have hoses and cord extensions). Plus I feel weird if people would come and drop their car at my house, it’s so overwhelming. I would get insurance, open an LLC, check with the municipality if I can run a bussines like that from my personal garage
@@marcelcovaci9922 you thinking about it too much man. My brother does on the weekends, customers drop their cars off and he does his thing and that’s all. Don’t worry about all that LLC for now man or the van and tank just with what you got and then you can grow slowly
Love the videos man keep it up💯
Thank you Lonzo! 👍🏻
Watching ur video is really helpful. I went and got the exact things shown in the video, all I need is business cards to hand out.. 💯💪🏻
Thank you for watching (: best of luck to you!

Thank you for the steps brother
Great video man
Appreciate it!
This gonna be my next business thanks bro

Thank you Joshua! 🤙🏻

Hell yeah bro 🔥
Thanks Eric! 👍🏻
Harts shop vac > stealth . You could find 6hp one for 40 at some Walmarts . Less time vacuuming with the power
Thanks for the suggestion!
Great video man...
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video! 👍🏻
This was really helpful
Thanks for watching!
The degreaser for tire was smart idea use it all the time
Nice Mark!
Thank you for this
You’re welcome!
That was super helpful
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Great Video
You’re welcome!
You should have picked up one more spray bottle and some bulk pink stuff/RV and boat wax it does a great job and spray-on wipe off
This is close to how i started, i also got hyper tough pressure washer
Thanks for the update on the video. I’m 20 years old looking to start my own detailing business, it wouldn’t be new to me. I’ve done a lot of research & the community is helpful too thanks for the advice I will start soon as I get a name
You’re welcome! :) best of luck 🤞🏻
My I suggest next time for the wheel tire cleaner suds labs non acid cleaner it’s works awesome and it’s 32oz for 10 bucks
I got averything but im not doing bussines...got 3 vehicles and i enjoy alot cleaning...follow this channel alot
Nice Carlos, thank you for the support!
Great video
Thank you!
I just got the Hart 6 gallon 5HP vac with car accessories for $49.00……I’m happy with the purchase
Nice! Thanks for sharing Greg :)
I've been thinking about starting a detailing business and I just need to know what are some products that you recommend for beginners. I already got hose and buckets. Now I wanna know what things I need like car soaps,sprays,brushes,etc.
Meguirs gold class is the best Walmart car soap imo that stuff suds great
I agree, I believe this day they were out of stock! The only downside is that they only come in 48oz containers when buying it from Walmart.
where I am just walking into the store is like a hundred bucks, honestly use are lucky out there. im also thinking of getting into this business.
Could you make a how to video using these products?
New Platinum Series products are great
They sure have some amazing products Joshua! 👍🏻
Damn I'm just starting. Bought everything off market place. This saves alot for BRAND NEW.. if I woulda known
Good luck Alexis!
Hi, new sub here. i bought the super clean for my all purpose cleaner. For the interior what dilution ratio would you suggest?
You should do a video about how you earned your first customers
Great suggestion, thank you!
Hey I don’t know if you did already but is it possible to do a full detail with these supplies in a video?
Nuevo subscriptor, lástima que aquí en 🇨🇷 no hay tantas cosas baratas como ahí, es lo que más envidio de USA😔
Jaja muchas gracias por ver el vídeo! 👍🏻
So that big bottle of super clean you can use it for the inside and the wheels and tires?
Hey Randy, I appreciate the assistance you share always. however, you didn't talk about the foam canon, isn't it that important? also can i use it if i have no Pressure washer?
You actually can only use a foam cannon with a pressure washer, however there are things such as a “foam gun” attachment for your garden hose that allows you to throw on soap directly on to a vehicle. The soap is just not as thick as how an actual foam cannon would produce. Nevertheless it will soap down the car nicely for a presoak, and will do just fine for what it is. Hope that helps.
@@detailingbeyondlimits what foam gun for a hose would you reccomend then?
How a question here, what do u use for seats that are polyester, how do you wash them? Great video by the way!
Hey Xenon, I’m actually fixing to make a video on this, stay tuned! 👍🏻
You da man!
Appreciate it brother!
If you we're to wash a Tesla what kind of car soap would you use? Because I heard that their paint is sensitive
Which towels would you use for drying the car?
Lmao they don't even have half of this stuff in the Walmart here 😂😂 but hey I loved your video🙃
Gosh American prices are so good ,New Zealands are appalling same list over $385NZplus!
Whats the dilution ratios for the super clean, for both light interior cleaning and removing brake dust and tire browning , can any 1 answer please...
How much do you charge and how many customer should I look to get a week
Great video, thank you so much. At 1:47, what do you say that the orange towel is for? Thank you!
You’re very welcome James! Thank you for watching! Color sort them, one for windows, one for wheels and one for the door jambs. 👍🏻
@@detailingbeyondlimitsawesome thanks!
can you make one but i won’t be able to use customs water source please and thank you
I'm just getting up to business one car n truck a week on my days off
Please can you write all the item that you buy numerical number , Its easy to find out at Walmart. Thank you 👍 Good work 👏
i’m curious with the all purpose cleaner how do you properly dilute i’m getting ready to start a detailing business
nevermind found your video
Can you make a video talking about how much to charge a client for the services
Sure can, coming up soon. Stay tuned!
What about when it comes to foaming your vehicle? Use Super clean as well or do you have another suggestion?
You definitely want to use a dedicated car shampoo. I mentioned one in this video, a pH soap is always recommended. Meguiars Gold Class is a great choice that can be easily found at Walmart. Hope that helps!
Ayo, I wanted to know from a professionals point of view do you really need a pressure washer if you’re a beginner?
Bro I've a question it's pro to use the water of your customer? Due to the Bill they pay for it?
How much would do yall recommend I should charge for a beginner detailer ?
I don’t wanna start a business I’m just looking for product recommendations 😂 never cleaned my car and wanna clean myself
Hope you found the video helpful 👍🏻
Do you have to carry any type of liability insurance even if you are just starting out? Do you have to register as a business to collect state sales tax?
No
If you have a harbor freight near you get your brushes, microfiber towels extension cords, and the dry wet vac from them better priced and it's all the same items
I have a 3000psi power washer that’s gas can I still use this to do the exterior?
Outside from being very informational you're SUPER entertaining boss man my only advise as a viewer is be more Confident boss man nothing sells more than pumping your chest with PRIDE ‼️‼️
Do a baller budget one next !
Great idea! Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏻
so when you go to the customer you use their water or yo have a tank what do you recommend for someone begginer? also for vacuum cleaner what if you are in street and there is no power where you can plug the vacuum ?
By yourself a extension cord or generator to run it to the street 😊
How many details(roughly) can these supplies be used for?
Good video 👍🫶🏻
Thank you!
Can you make a video on how to promote your business and get customers?
I’ll be sure to make a video on this, thanks for watching 👍🏻
A video like this is needed for real
@@delanojames9202 Fr man, I know my detailing is legit, I give it my all every time, I made a Insta page and a Facebook page and made some really good looking business cards and people have been taking them but barely any calls.
Game is game
I looked up otter drive couldn't find it anywhere
Take a shot every time he says guys
Haha! My apologies everyone I did realize I said the words “guys” just too many times while editing this video however I couldn’t do much at that point… Currently working on not saying it as often, please bare with me! Thank you all for watching! 👍🏻
Where to plug ?
cool
🤙🏻
If i start mobile detailing what do i use to connect outlets for vacuum or water hose
generator
Tevin, you can choose to start with a generator & a water tank OR you can always hook up to the customers water source and power supply if they allow it. (I know many people in the game, professionally, still hook up to customers water spigot and electrical outlets) It’s a great way to start off for-sure. Hope that helps!
this guy good at math
What do u use to get rid of brake dust in wheels
Check out my wheel cleaning video!
What do you use the super clean for in the interior?
You can use it for door panels, dash, or even shampooing carpet. It does wonders because it’s all purpose. Do I recommend it? No. You want to get dedicated cleaners for certain things because all purpose cleaners burn through plastic and don’t make fibers on carpet stand back up. he is just demonstrating the cheap way of doing things. Might end up spending more replacing a part for a customer if they see you burned through plastic 😂
Question how am I going to power the vacuums?
I mentioned in the beginning that this video is intended for beginners who wish to start off by using the customers power and water. That is also why I recommended the extension cord & 3 way adapter. Hope that helps :)
How would you know what the ratios to dilute the super clean is ?
Hey Claudio, check out this video where I speak more about SuperClean! kzhead.info/sun/qdqSlb2pgXisqIE/bejne.html
No no no, grab yourself a bottle od dawn plantium for your wheel cleaner and tire cleaner and wheel well cleaner. It's cheaper, it foams better and it's supper strong. Strong enough to take off oil from ducks.
You buy a generator or ask customer to use an outlet with this method?
Alex, this video is for beginners who will be using the customers water source and power supply!
How would you apply the cleaner onto the whole car?
I’m sorry, what cleaner? Are you referring to the soap? If so, You’d drop a bit of soap into the bucket with water, throw your wash mitt in there and use that to wash your vehicle. Pre rinse and final rinse with your garden hose.
Walmart US is more hype then the Walmarts here in Canada 😢
It actually just got like that recently!
So you don't need a pressure washer?
This guy says guys a lot. Good video none the less
Thanks!
How much would you charge people once you begin your business
You forgot the one of the most important equipment which pressure washer
Question, I'm really interested in starting my own detailing business but do I need insurance or license to start and where can I get that?
You don’t need ethier but it nice to have insurance, just goggle Business insurance.
That’s a great question and a tricky one at the same time! It really just depends on you. I’d suggest you make a list of pros and cons of having insurance & license vs not having them. I know many people when they start off they usually don’t have either because of course you are just starting out but it really comes down to where you plan on taking your business in the long term and how cautious you are when working on a vehicle, I’d say from a customers perspective the insurance part is a little more important than the license. If you’re just starting out and you are not charging a premium price or you’re simply very careful detailing then the customer won’t care as long as you do a good job and they get their moneys worth you should be good. Having insurance at the end of the day gives you that piece of mind IF anything were to go wrong you are covered. On the other hand maybe you’re willing to take some risk and test out your luck, maybe you don’t have a problem paying out of pocket if a mistake were to actually happen, it’s a tough decision you want to make in the beginning and accept all possible outcomes. Hope that helps. I’m sure I’ll make a video on this where I speak more about it in depth. Stay tuned!
@@detailingbeyondlimits bet ok, thank you!
@@detailingbeyondlimits where can I go this insurance or license thoe?
@@YardleyZv find out what your city/county requirements are to obtain a business license and for insurance go online and get different quotes from different insurance companies.
Hey I’m wondering what I should charge I got all the things you got. Can you tell me what I should price it at. Im just starting!
Hey man it all depends on what exactly you’d like to factor in, a quick way to go about it is, figure out how much you’d be satisfied with making an hour and multiply that by how long a detail takes you.
@@detailingbeyondlimits ok Ty what did you start at
