I actually broke my phone when I was 14 and it was brand new and I told him I would wash his cars as a sorry and thank you, and then I got into detailing that now it’s my passion. Tho these guy aren’t professional detailers. They have a lot of flaws especially taking care of the paint to minimize scratches. Cant put a wash mitt and rinse in the damn ground.

That being said I had to pause the video as soon as I saw that employee going ham on the paint with that truck brush though 😬 that and the wash mitt going from paint to tire. Nothing but respect. If I had his business skills and was making anything close to what he is, the number one thing I would still make sure is every single vehicle no matter if it’s a Mercedes or a Honda, is being detailed properly. Using that rv/truck brush on that black paint 😅 unless you’re doing a full correction after drying, this is probably just as bad as spending $3 to take it through a car wash. Not knocking that’s just my humble opinion and I am impressed by your business plan. I just had to say something after seeing those things in the same couple seconds.

When I go to a new "detailer" I always stand and watch the work being done on someone's car. If I see ANYTHING close to what I just saw in this video, like the young man taking a wash mit to the paint, and then tires/wheels... I would get in my car, without saying a word, and leave. Now he could have used a different wash mit for paint, and another for tires... but we don't know... but I'd bet my last dollar, he didn't. If I were to go into the detailing business, I would take over!

These guys are smart! As they scratch those cars with that brush, pretty soon they'll be selling their customers paint correction. Way to go, guys!

Hope these cars still had lots of clearcoat to be paint corrected after these guys ran through 😭

From 3:31-3:37…… using a brush to clean the paint on the car?……… yikes. My clients saw me doing that to their car it would be a loss the moment I even touch the tool From 7:19-7:20 ….. Uses a wash mitt to scrub across the front driver side fender and continues on the drive or front tires…. I will only assume that he took that wash mitt and went right back on the fender… yikes. From 9:43 - 9:46 ….. uses a wash mitt and goes across the quarter panel to the front side of the rear driver side tire and starts from the rocker panel and work his way up. If you know anything about a car getting dirty you should always either wash the wheels first and the rocker panel along the side or wash the lower section of the vehicle last saw you don’t mix contaminate what you picked up from the bottom which is the dirtiest part of the car and rub it against the cleanest part of the car which is the top part…… yikes From 10:33 - 10:36 ….. using a brush to wash the exterior of the Range Rover . Do we use brushes on the exterior of a vehicle? Yes but those brushes are to weed out tight crevices such as emblems and tight areas where the wash mitt because of its thickness or a microfiber towel, can I agitate the debris that’s trapped in it. To add to that is these brushes or soft brushes the type of material is completely different should I brush they are using on the Range Rover. From 12:48 - 12:50…. Look at the fender of the Mercedes Benz. The amount of holograms and light swirls instilled into it was because of poor wash technique and I’m not here to take away from his business because if he’s doing well then by all means…… but if there’s era I want to make sure out of my clear conscience that I’m able to educate anyone I see perform in those errors.

The brush that can be seen in the video is made to wash paint with. It is a micro bristle brush that has never scratched a car in the 7 years we have been a company. But we will definitely take this feedback into consideration going forwards. We also have insurance in the case that something does happen to the paint so that we can repair any damages:)

I hate to be negative, but any decent car detailer would watch this and say most of his cleaning techniques are exactly what NOT to do. For example: -Using a brush on any paint(especially black paint, as it scratches easier) is never a good idea. On top of that, the guy was brushing from bottom to top, you are always suppose to clean and scrub from top to bottom, as there is usually less dirt to catch and scratch on the mitt as you work your way down. You don't want to catch rock chips while scrubbing the bottom, and moving your mitt to the top of the car and scratch it. -To the guy laying the mitt on the cement gravel to power wash it, you should never re use a mitt or clay bar once it has hit the ground until you put it through the washer. All the cement gravel will get caught up in that mitt. Just don't ever lay it on cement, leave it in the bucket. Easy. - The one guy was using a mitt to wash the outside of the tires after washing the paint right there, then going back to the paint.....that's terrible...it is common knowledge to wash wheels and tires first, then move to the cars paint(with different mitts etc) -The one guy was using a squeegee thing to get the water off the top of the black car. While they are good for getting water off windows, in the car detailing community they should not be used on paint, once you pick up a dirt or rock and swipe it down, it can create scratches. He has the money for equipment he should be using a leaf blower at the very least to dry the cars and use a microfiber or waffle weave towel to pat down and dry the cars to prevent more scratches. I can see maybe doing this on a cheap car, but those are expensive cars!!! -The guy that was waxing with the pad, I'm hoping he wasn't using a wax that might catch on the black trim, bc some waxes can turn black trim white and gray....it's best to be careful and not liberal when waxing with as pad manually. If I was this company's owner I would be embarrassed to have people see how my workers wash cars like this....hopefully he can improve on some of the miscues. All the best.

The squeegee that was being used to dry the paint is sprayed off with the pressure washer before being used to almost completely remove all the dirt to reduce the chance of scratches. As for the wash mitt, cleaning from bottom to top, and cleaning the wheels and car with the same mitt, those are all things that we will be going over as a team. We also have insurance in the case that something does happen to the paint so that we can repair any damages:) However, we are very proud of our team and the work they do.

Glad it was helpful!

as soon as i saw the brush on a stick going onto paint i knew this was a unprofessional business and they had no care for the customer. LMAO

As someone who's been in the Detail business for 20+ years there is a difference between a car washer & a Detailer these are car washers and this is why the business has gone down people having people call themselves Detailers when they are car washers. Detailing is a skill you put a buffer or asked them to wet sand something the wouldn't have clue. Watching them even hold a shammy in their hands to dry the cars lets me know. But looking @ the cars I see he has a high end clientele so most of the cars he is doing are probably pretty cut & dry.

YOUR CHARGING 400 DOLLARS PER SERVICE.

Big respect but this was painful to watch. As a pro auto detailer who owns a great company in Raleigh, NC, the way he's teaching his employees to wash is entirely unprofessional. Their methods will for sure leave swirls in the paint of all vehicles they wash. The brush to the paint will do it 1000%. As a pro auto detailer, I'll never compromise my integrity for a dollar.

@@Bigsmobile my bro, steer away from that industrial truck brush. There’s extended wands with Chenille wash mitts, and the multi towel method which requires you to pick up a pre-Damped or soaked microfiber towel that has water and soap instilled into it, fold it in four ways and flip or re-fold to a clean side as you go around the car. This process can be done after you have initially rinsed and let the foam dwell on the vehicle. Use the foam as a lubrication to pass the wash mitt across the panel and be conscious of how much debris the towel is picking up so you can fold or flip to a clean side and continue the wash process. Never mix the tool that you wash the wheels with on the vehicles paint, that’s like using the same rag you washed your crack with to wash your face with.
