1st time I’ve seen the cab of a piece of heavy equipment detailed. Great job under difficult conditions. Keep up the good work.

Thank you!

What a great transition from all the typical details. Great job too and not let the rain stop you. I'm sure when they see how nice that looks you may end up with all their vehicles.

For sure! Thank you!

I loved it when the owner showed up to point out "this area & that area". I laughed as you kept your patience. Which is what we need to do with our customers. Let it roll off our back. Dude, it's a heavy construction equipment that lives in the dirt & mud. They are supposed to get dirty. Funny he pointed out the windows when it's raining. It looked great afterwards but for how long... Good detail!

That was my husband! 😂 he is an operator, and a perfectionist, so I asked him to stop by to see if there was anything else I should address haha

That's pretty kool, I'm in Texas and there's lots of farmland and I got the opportunity to do a interior detail on a Cotton Picker Harvesting Tractor and also charged $50 an hour... Lucky on the rain, Fall is upon us and its still 100* ... Thanks for the videos and Links to buy products.... God Bless

The tractors are definitely a good niche. At least in my area, a lot of the construction workers like their stuff pristine and just don’t have the time to do it so they’re happy and willing to pay someone for the most part [if they don’t have employees to do it]. Fall is here, for sure!

Wow! Your lucky what state are you in ? Im in Texas well south tx and Sunday was the first day of fall and its 100 degrees,,, Lol.... $50 an hour is very reasonable.... I did a Row-Crop Tractor,,, Put 1 ounces of ONR with distilled water in your steamer that will help to clean, ONR in a steamer is the only rineseless that withstand the cleaning capabilities and the smell... DIY Rinseless & P&S Absolute loose the smell and cleaning capabilities.... Hope that helps

Thanks so much! It was 100 degrees for the last month with 100% humidity…that was brutal!! I’m in CT. We go from 50 to 100 to 50 lol

Don't worry about what people tell you and just do you. It's good you're trying to be fair but know your worth. Be happy.

Good video jess . Nice change from the every day . Ive done a few in my nearly 40 years of detailing . A couple thoughts . I tackle them interiors like i would a work truck . Vynal floors and alot of plastic. Gm trucks expeacialy notaries for them . As far as exterior ie glass , think about a regular wash brush / long handle or a telescoping brush powerwasher attachment. Like for Vynal siding on a house . Ryobi makes a battery powered one . Extends to like 10ft . Rinse, apc , brush , rinse. Safer than climbing. Keep up the good work . Take care

@@DetailWithJess I could tell it was tight quarters up in that cab

Listen everyone will tell you "what you should be charging" but they're not you and everyone is in a different position and pricing can be very different in different areas. Just keep doing what you're doing and you will shine Keep up the great work :)

THank you so much, I always kindly respond to everyone’s pricing suggestions but stil stick to what feels right to me. Appreciate it!

I try to charge at least $70 an hour for cars but on heavy duty equipment it is easily $100 an hour since its usually extremely soiled conditions.

@DetailWithJess

10 ай бұрын

That’s sweet! The more experience I gain, the more confident I have been becoming in asking higher prices. With equipment, I can totally understand a higher rate.

Charging $50 an hour would have you detail every thing in the job site .

He did say that if I liked doing it he’d get me more work! Not gonna lie, it was definitely way easier than a car!

The fall has just begun, and it’s already raining like hell. Just curious, what are your plans for the winter season? Taking break and doing some other job, or struggling against weather and keep with detailing business?

It hasn’t stopped raining this year, it’s been brutal! Luckily for me it’s been every weekend so my weekday details have been saved for the most part. I’ll be heading to Florida come November. I’ll be detailing down there and we’ll see what else we muster up!

Yeah 150 isn't bad at all that fair

I understand you're all about being fair but you should always add a little something for your business expenses or profit. I think $200 would've been fair or more than enough like that you could have $50 that you can put into your business. That is a cool niche. If I was you, I would try to get more work. I'm sure you would be the only one doing it. Easy Money!!!
