| Keeping Your Detailing Business Small | Ep. 55 | 27 Jun 2023 | 00:16:51 | |
Is it really worth it to have thousands of dollars in expenses every month? Or better yet does it fit the goals you created when you first started your detailing business? Being your own boss and creating freedom for yourself is probably a couple benefits you wanted when you first started your own detailing business. The one thing that can take all of that away is growing way too fast or by over extending and building a business that is too big. By no means am I saying that having employees or a big shop is a bad thing or that it is not profitable because it definitely is if done right. What I will say though is that being small has so many benefits that being big doesn't have. So really consider growing your car detailing business slow and take advantages of the perks that being small has to offer. 📱 Follow on Instagram @the.detail.spot | |||

| How To Compete With The Cheapest Car Detailers | Ep. 45 | 07 Dec 2022 | 00:11:26 | |
There are so many car detailers starting everyday. So how to you compete with the ones that are charging a rate that is EXTREMELY low? I hear so often that these detailers that are charging $50 for "Full Details" are ruining the detailing industry but I am not sure that it is the case. I used to think these detailers with a crazy low price we taking business from me, that they were giving a false narrative to the market, and that they were undercutting the detailers that do this as a career. I actually no longer think that way and in reality I actually think they help the industry and help the detailers that are really trying to stand out. In this episode you will learn:

| The BEST Compound and Polish For Car Detailing |Ep. 43 | 22 Nov 2022 | 00:09:36 | |
Paint correction and polishing can be overwhelming, frustrating, and complicated if you don't know what products and pads to use. It can be ultra overwhelming especially if you have too many products in your arsenal. In this episode I tell you what my favorite compound and polish is and which pads go great with them. The compound I recommend is a diminishing abrasive. This means it has enough "grit" to cut through some pretty heavy defects and after heating up this abrasive it will then turn to a polish like substance giving it the ability to finish out a lot better than other compounds. The polish I recommend for car detailing is an extremely versatile polish that can be used alone for enhancement services or to refine / finish out after compounding. 📱 Follow on Instagram @the.detail.spot | |||

| Car Detailing Marketing Do's and Don'ts | Ep. 36 | 04 Oct 2022 | 00:30:03 | |
One thing that all successful car detailing businesses have in common is a good marketing strategy. Marketing is the thing that pushes your brand in front of your ideal audience. This is what can really take your detailing business to that next level. This is easier said than done though because a lot of detailers are marketing completely wrong.

| Owning A Detailing Business Is Fun Till It's Not | Ep. 34 | 20 Sep 2022 | 00:29:06 | |
When you first start your auto detailing business it is so fun. You become filled with excitement and passion for cleaning, maintaining, and protecting vehicles. I like to call this the honeymoon phase of being your own boss. After you realize detailing has become the thing that puts food on the table and pays the bills it becomes not as fun anymore. There is a point to where it gives you a crazy overwhelming and stressful feeling that is ultimately unhealthy for your mind and body. This feeling has personally hit me and gave me an immense amount of anxiety and a taste of depression. When we start our business this feeling is not what we are ultimately searching for. We start it because we want freedom and the enjoyment of not having to answer to a boss. Unfortunately, we did not know about all of the things that come with being self employed and the other side of detailing. But trust me, that burnout feeling can go away and be prevented. We have the power to do things in our business to make it enjoyable again or continue making it enjoyable. In this episode I share things I personally did wrong in my business and things that I started doing to reduce the stressful feeling of overwhelm or failure. This makes owning a detailing business that much more enjoyable again. In this episode you will learn:

| How To Get More Perfect Clients For Your Auto Detailing Business | Ep. 33 | 15 Sep 2022 | 00:42:14 | |
What is the perfect client and why are they any more important than any other paying customer? Building a sustainable and scalable auto detailing business is all based on how good your business is overall and how good your clients are. These "perfect" clients are the foundation for your business and will ultimately decide if your detailing business to what you dreamed it can be.

These are my definition of a perfect client and if you can get enough of these you will have an EXTREMELY successful business. In this episode you will learn:

| A lot of Auto Detailers Are Missing This | Ep. 27 | 02 Aug 2022 | 00:25:35 | |
Starting and running an auto detailing business is a lot of work. It takes a lot of focus in areas that we really do not know about when we initially start.

How to start or run an interior detailing business with Carlos Serrano. Carlos owns and operates an auto detailing business in Dallas, Texas and actually thoroughly enjoys doing interior detailing. He has built his detailing business to a point to where he can charge top dollar for interior detailing services along with other services such as ceramic coating and paint correction.

| Hobby Detailer vs Pro Detailer | Ep. 09 | 17 Mar 2022 | 00:20:41 | |
Are you a hobby detailer or a professional detailer? In other words do you just simply detail in your business or do you do everything that goes into running a successful detailing business? Most of us are hobbyist when we first start. We know how to provide a great result and that's about it. The downfall to this is it takes so much more than just detailing to have success at this game. We have to brand, market, sell, etc. We have to simply do it all. But the moment we do place our focus on these areas is the moment we become a professional. Join The Detail Community Today.

| Mobile Detailing vs Shop Detailing | ep. 08 | 10 Mar 2022 | 00:17:47 | |
Mobile detailing vs shop detailing is a pretty common crossroad that we all encounter somewhere along the way of our career as a detailer. Which is better though? In this episode you will get my opinion based on my own personal goals and will help you find out which is better for you based on your goals because that is ultimately what business is all about. Mobile detailing comes in all different shapes and sizes. You can literally do this out of any vehicle realistically. The fact that anyone can start in this industry with any vehicle and the minimum amount of equipment is super cool. Shop detailing is a little more complex. It takes a little more risk and work to succeed because of the extra overhead it requires. Shop detailing is a great direction to take if you are looking to offer more services than just detailing. They're both really great routes to take but I will share with you the direction I chose to take and why. Are you ready to take your business to the next level.

| Taking Security Deposits With Trevor At The Detail Lab TX | Part 3 of 3 | 08 Feb 2022 | 01:01:18 | |
Taking a security deposit is one of the biggest challenges for detailers. We often times feel that it is an inconvenience and just don't do it in hopes that the client shows up for their appointment.

| Should You Offer Car Wash Services As A Detailer? | Ep. 50 | 17 Jan 2023 | 00:16:47 | |
Big question is should you offer car wash services as an auto detailer? The car wash service and detailing service is so similar but two totally different business models. Detailing being a lot more in depth and car washing being on the cheaper side and a lot quicker. I notice a lot of detailers offering $20-$40 washes as well as their normal car detailing packages and yes this can be extremely profitable. I mean just think if you did 10 washes at $40 in a day that is $400 which is not bad for a days worth of work. The big question is does it look bad for a detailer to offer that type of service at such a low price point. That is what we are going to get into in this episode. 📱 Follow on Instagram @the.detail.spot 🔥 Take your detailing business up a level. Join The Detail Community | |||
