Facts. Easy way to start is to go around to small dealerships and ask if they need some cars done. They are willing to pay the price what the local car wash charges but usually ask for discount on volume like extra services. Basically dont charge for a engine wash and if you got a wax job, take out the obvious scuffs and scratches without padding the bill. If you want the bigger dealerships you will need to get a interact machine. It's not the highest paying but its dependable work and loads of practice as you can generally get away with messing something up on a dealer's car as they themselves probably never even seen the car up close

Thanks a ton for this vid Luke. Honestly I feel like this kind of video brings me the most value. I'd love to see one of exterior work too. Even though it may SEEM boring it actually conveys a ton of information to people with the patience and especially for a beginner like myself.

Three times I've watched this now when lay in bed and three times I've never made it to the end. So relaxing. Trying to start up my own detailing/valeting business as its something I really like doing. I detail my friends two land rovers and his Honda civic once a month (for free obviously) with a lot of makeshift gear (small paint brushes and make up brushes instead of detailing brushes) and I really enjoy doing it. Yourself, detailing is JC and a channel called car cleaning guru as well as a handful of others have inspired me to attempt starting up.

Good morning brother, love the video. Quick couple questions for ya, I know you use both Meg's APC and Super Clean. Which do you use more and whats the determining factor between which to use? Dirtier=Super Clean? Or Dirtier=Meg's APC? Also do you ever use or recommend anything for scent for interior for example spray a nice smelling laundry detergent and steam clean with it along with either APC? Last question, when doing full interior and exterior which do you prefer to clean first ext or int? Thanks again for all your knowlege and videos! God Bless!

Hell yeah bro , you were on attack mode through the whole detail . Must be nice to have that good weather though. I'm still doing details on my cramped up garage . Time is money bro , On to the next one .

Hi Luke. I gues I watched the most of your interior vidz. I found it very practical. Very straight forward compared with a lot of other "youtube car detailers". Thnx for that. I wondered if there is a method to check if the upholestry,/fabric/leather could stand up against a steamer? How do you check that to prevend damaging the seats? Because you talked in your vidz about lexus seats and other high-end cars. But is there a way to check it beforehand on all different car seats? And also have you ever used a steamer that can also vacuum at the same time? And what are your thougts about them? I already subscribed and I'm looking forward to see your vidz of the exterior including thewaxing/sealing/ polishing part. Greetz from Holland!

Awesome job at this bro

Thank you very much. I feel heard and I appreciate that very very much

Luke! Awesome video out of the hour 14 mins probably only ff 4 minutes maybe 5 minutes of the video! Definitely couldn’t ff when heard you talking on the phone just helped keep me tuned in for some reason lol. So maybe a video like this would be good for one of your speech over video or pod cast style video or whatever you wanna call it. And doesn’t have to be the entire video just here and there. I know your normally a talked tho so just a thought! Still a great video! But one question noticed you hit the windows twice what did you use?

Great video man!!!👍👍👍

This is real interior detailing , I need to start using my steamer too! Btw what is your least favorite car or truck to do interior detail ? I just did a old euro van and that thing had no sliding door on one side shit was hard lol

Just when I think your videos can't get any better you surprise me! ! ! However, I do miss the house music. . . .

Do you always unhook the car battery before steaming electronics or just go at it carefully?

what’s the benefit of a steamer? i don’t have one but if i did this entire detail without one what would i be losing?

I'm not in the detailing business but this shows me a better way to think of cleaning my cars. Holy Moly.

Fascinating to watch your process. Seems Most of the grunge on autos is around the contact areas. Steering wheels, buttons etc. Does the steam not affect electronics in anyway. I wondered about that? I like to hit everything with compressed air and brush simultaneously, keeping moisture to a minimum around buttons. By watching this, it leads me to believe that these buttons are more robust and resist more moisture than previously thought?

I don't have a ton of experience but I do have a steamer and with what I've done so far I question why not just steam instead of using the APC and detail brush for most things? It liquefies the grease, blasts the dirt out from the crevices, nooks, etc. You just have to use enough common sense not to hold it right up against the electronics or hold it there for to long. It basically does what the APC and brush are doing anyways no? You may not get it to 100% but we're really splitting hairs here.. Seems like a solid 95% plus and it skips a step.. am I wrong? When I go to dress the console at the end then I whip out my detail brush to do it and it'll get that last 5%.. seems like a great method.

That forces them to go through the bag and let them decide if it’s trash or needs to be put back in car.

Do a killed car video like this. They're the funnest details anyway, and has more for new detailers to learn.

Love the idea of steam it cleans it disinfects and a great job you have done.. One major problem steam gets everywhere into tiny groves where electrical contacts are. What you are doing is causing corrosion. You might say I'm using a quick spray here and there. I'm an electronic.. Electrical mechanical engineer and have seen this process cause really serious electrical faults down the line. Just be aware.. Not all cars are built the same..

Why do so many detailers use the crevice vac attachment to vac the entire car? It doesn't seem like you are actually vacuuming the entire surface, but just touching it up. I use a horsehair vac attachment and it lifts the dirt, picks up junk and lifts the nap of the carpet. Any reason most use the crevice tool? Looks good when you are done, just asking.
