Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use kzread.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.

A 15% increase every 4-6 months would be great also. It will slowly add up but eventually you will charge for your time and quality detail. I’m glad he’s getting people to get in his subscription it’s idea👍🏼

I personally think when it comes to any type of especial convenience services, especially mobile, customers shouldn’t be negotiating with prices, low balling. You don’t see people low balling prices at the grocery store or McDonald’s.

Man, we are charging $500 plus for a full detail. Raise your prices as you continue to grow bro. We need to set the standards high for our industry.

I had the same issue with my detailers that washed, details, my semi. His price went from 50, to 60, then 80! But, he did such good job as if I was doing it. I still have him washing and detailing my semi. If the work is good people will pay it.

It amazes me sometimes that people don’t get this like you do. A few months back I had some people who owned a business that uses 3 semis. I quoted them $75 per semi which includes an exterior wash, clean of the nasty vinyl seats, clean the nasty vinyl flooring, and of the super gross dash with old ketchup and stuff dried on. Then they said well the guy we had before did it for $35. They said this after they complained that he scratched the paint on their personal vehicles and the aforementioned semis. (The reason why I quoted that was because me and my buisiness partner have the process down so that we can have the whole job done perfectly in 3-4hrs).

Just happened onto your channel and instantly subscribed. As a small business owner myself, I had to raise my prices because they were too low. My family and I work hard to make yards look good and when I saw that at the end of the day our profits didn’t reflect our work, I raised our prices. It’s an ongoing learning process as you already know Blessings for working with your family and teaching them the true value of being self reliant!

Hey Brother, Justin from Organ Mountain Detailing here. I have been in business now for about 15 months and let me tell you, I had to raise my prices. There were no ifs, ands, or buts about it. When I started out, I was charging anywhere from $50 to $150 and these were big jobs. If people see the quality of your work and BELIEVE in you and what you are capable of doing for them, they will gladly pay whatever you charge. I really enjoy your videos. You have a good way of showing the day-to-day struggles of detailing and everything that goes into your business. Keep up the good work. God bless.

You do great quality and keep professional. Totally worth your service!

I work as a lot attendant at a dealer ship so I’m washing cars all day long waxing n prepping for sale. N found that I love cleaning the cars inside and out I am 19 years old also.You inspired me to start saving up money to get my own detailing business going.

Thank you so much for your advice! I wish you the best in your business.

Great video, glad you are up pricing, know your worth. The low ballers never will appreciate your time. One thing I notice that client don't really pay much attention to, is that those paper mats you place on the interior they are always just thrown out as soon as they receive the vehicle so I would say take time and research and see if it is even worth to have the expense of paper mats. Enjoying these video, thanks man!

I always charge a price that causes pain to the customer. This is how I screen the ones that just want cheap work. I position myself as a business that offers high quality detailing services. If I feel like I over charged them, I have the integrity to give some of the money back. They are usually super excited about this and end up referring me to their family and friends. Keep up the solid work my guy! I charge 160- 210 for just a wash and wax for small vehicles. 190-300 for wash on large vehicles. Interior is basically around the same. So if someone wants a full detail I usually make around 400-600 Anytime I use my polisher for any paint correction its an additional 200-400 for small vehicles. 400-800 for larger vehicles ON TOP of the wash and wax service. Ive only been in business for about a year.

We’re completely mobile too. Started this January. Just raised our prices for the first time last week. Something we had been wanting to do but were nervous. However, we realized that even in the small amount of time we had been detailing, we knew which clientele we wanted to aim towards. We also know what our quality is worth when comparing the amount of time we spend on vehicles to others. It’s been great so far - we’ve told our repeat clients & they continued to book again. When changing pricing, We did account in the fact that we are mobile - when at first we were just doing pricing to get clients and get our foot in the door. We have received comments in the past about the pricing even when it was low - for some reason some people think mobile should be less instead of more? We provide convenience and that is a luxury that comes at a price. Love the videos! My names Ashley & and my boyfriend/business partner, Danny, was born and raised in Sacramento! We are currently in Georgia though, where I’m from.

I have a window cleaning company and I have had customers since 99 and I explained to them I had to raise prices due to everything going up in prices insurance gas materials and they usually understand my barber used to cut my hair for 10 buck same barber now its 25 but I completely understand

Hey bro. Been watching your channel for a while now. You do awesome work man! I congratulate you to the fullest!! You deserve more. Here in Alabama i charge $200+ for these ‘full details’ i do not haggle with my prices and if they want the mobile package i charge an extra 20% convenience fee. That covers gas, time, and employees. In the end i want to make a bare minimum of $400/day. I mostly work by myself and maintain a full time night job as well. Keep those prices set in stone. Don’t cut yourself down too just get the customer they will eventually come around.

Big man...I'm so damn proud of you. I've been busting ass this summer as well as last in my detailing biz and the raising prices is definitely something you shouldn't feel bad about! YOU create your market! If you feel your work is not being compensated accurately, raise em! I know you know what it's like getting home dirty as hell, sweaty as hell, your hands/fingers/arms/shoulders sore....step into the shower and the water coming off brown and black...man you damn well are due to raise your prices! We work extremely hard for hours on hours doing tough labor - most of the times customers understand it as well. So good to see you striving and killing it man and excited for what's to come. Love this channel and all the good ENERGY you putting out!

Paint correction 1step starts $200. 2 step starts $350. 3 step starts $500

I really like how @detailgroove here on youtube said he raises his pricing. He will adjust his new pricing and then if he has a previous customer he honors the old pricing and then informs them in person that the next time the prices will be updated to his new pricing seems like it keeps everyone happy and to me seems like a good way to keep customers coming back! People saying they want one thing but mean another is so common in the service industry. Terms/services are not 100% universal. I work in bicycle repairs and people will say they want a full Tune-Up on their bicycle that starts at $75 but in reality, they want one thing adjusted and it's only $15. Or one companies "basic" wash is cheaper but it includes less than your "basic" wash, it's defiantly knowing the competition and good communication, we will often pull up the competition's website and show what they get in comparison to ours along with our 40+ years of experience.

Best thing I could ever tell new detailers when starting out: tell everyone they're getting a "limited time rate" or "first-time customer discount" for a good year or two. That way they expect the raised prices for the next one but are happy to be getting a "discounted rate" for the current job, and if you don't end up raising prices quite yet, you can say you're going to "do them a favor and give them another job at a discounted rate" to curry favor with consistent customers. Makes you look good no matter what, and the customers think they're getting great treatment but have consistent expectations of it costing more next time.

Always remember people are quick to tell you the price is “too high” but they will never tell you the price is “too low”

You have to loose some customers to make room for your better paying ones. Then you can do less cars and not wear yourself and your crew out while still making the same amount. Make engine detailing an up sale not included and don't cut your price. Be sure to use carpet and cloth seat protector if you are on a vehicle you are certain you will be detailing again. Use protectant on every repeat it will help you get the car done faster next time.

Hey Hunter on the topic of your "on condition" pricing; please start asking for photos. You can save yourself from a lot of unsatisfied clients. Ask for photos to assess the condition of interiors and give your price before showing up. Even if people end up paying a price higher than expected, they may feel "trapped" because they know you've already shown up and spent money on gas.

when you guys gonna open a mobile detailing here in vegas? tried 3 different detailers and they all said they been doing this for 10yrs, well i used them once and they caused swirl marks or stained carpet or seat.

Dude you work like a dog… serious respect to you fellas. I wish we had folks in our area who do the work you do. We simply don’t have it. Too difficult to find someone who’s this passionate about their craft.

This is the way I see it, if someone’s doing you a service you can’t do for yourself/ aren’t willing to do yourself, or even something you know you can’t do better, then there’s no room at all for negotiation or lowballing. People need to realize that skills and passion are what pays the bills.
