I go back and fourth on the door jambs as well, but I’ve been using a rinseless or touchless wash to do them. So if I have the keys, or the client is home I just do them. Interior job or exterior job. If I have access to them, I clean them. It takes almost no time, and the end result of the client opening the car door either on an interior job or exterior job makes a huge difference. The car could be super glossy and slick outside, but the first thing they see every time they get into their car is the door jambs. If they aren’t done, the detail imo looks incomplete.

Sounds fair.

As far as the door jambs, since we are getting them wet regardless on a wash and have to dry them I always open the doors and spray the grit off the jambs at least so the towels don’t get soiled later. A quick spray of drying aid on them helps bring the shine out and make cleaning easier next time. You are doing a proper service by cleaning them 👌

Help! I need some professional advice! Lay person here. I took my 3 year old large white luxury SUV to a detailer last week and they did not clay bar nor did they wax the ROOF of my car (probably did not iron decontaminate the roof either) - noticed this once I got home. Called and detail shop owner said so sorry... we will do it for you. My question is what should I do to make sure it gets done Correctly. Does doing only the roof make chemicals drip down the car to where they need to redo the wax layer on the rest of the car? Hopefully they don't scratch the sides trying to reach the middle top of roof since some people get mad about getting called out. The sunroof has never leaked but I don't want it to start - hope there is not an unethical worker redoing it. The waiting room is not where I can watch it. It was an "exterior full detail" and included clay bar and wax and took about 2 hours - i think one guy. $200. Any advice on what I should say or watch out for when I take it back in to have them detail the roof would be greatly appreciated. Also on my new black floor mats there was like 10 drips of something dark orange. Luckily I vacuumed it out. Do you know what this could be? I'm so frustrated. Thank you for your time reading my rant. Please share your thoughts.

Reyes this the first and only of all that you questioned that worked and stayed working while answering every question! #time IS MONEY!!

Great video. It's weird, I've always cleaned the door jams. It's depends on the condition, whether not I wax them or do anything else. Sometimes just a wipe, and they look fantastic. Other times, if it's a light colored car, there might be some scuff marks from shoes or whatever. I'll go the extra mile and buff them out with my 3" or do them by hand. It's funny, some customers wouldn't even notice. But I do, lol.

7:19 NO BRAINER: The door jambs belong to the exterior part of a car! Simple question to debunk any doubt: Assuming that door jambs are part of the interior, why to they get wet when washing the exterior and why is the interior still dry after a exterior wash?

As a detailer I ask my client to give me their budget,only if they don’t like my price. and afterwards we can work with them and reek them what we can do for their budget

How do you deal with door jambs that are caked in dirt and mud with an exterior, still wash down? I prefer to do the door jambs on interiors. If the jambs are clean will wipe down excess water on the exteriors though

I’m a car detailer, bro. The best way to clean door jams would be to pressure wash them if they’re caked on with mud if they’re not kicked on with mud. I would suggest that you just wipe them down with soapy, water and proceed with your wash. Keeps you from double working yourself.

If the door jambs have dry mud I take out the pressure washer. The only problem with that is splash clack you get so that’s why I was wandering why the guy in the video does when just doing interiors. I generally use a sprayer with n apc, saturate it and wipe down maybe use a steamer. Have used a pressure washer but not s keen as the over spray and it you get in and out the vehicle still may have more water on the floor. Which definitely don’t help when you detailing not on concrete. Been also just filling a bucket with water and sponge and washing it down, which works well with not a terribly dirty door. So yer few different things I do. The pressure washer is good and quick part from the splash back maybe takes more time with technique to get less and maybe you can just wipe off excess if you do

I count it as both meaning if I’m doing an exterior only or interior only I do them as I feel door jams are paint work so it’s exterior but also when doing an interior if you don’t clean them it makes it look lazy like you have this really clean vinyl or plastic but the paint next to it is dirty
