What I'd Do Differently If I Had to Start Detailing Over Today

If I had to start detailing from scratch today, I'd do somethings differently. In this video, I break down what actually matters when starting a car detailing business or learning detailing the right way. From simplifying products and using pre-soak instead of pre-rinse, to choosing retail clients over fleet work, getting into a shop, avoiding YouTube trends, and stopping the chase for perfection—this is real-world detailing advice based on experience, not hype. Whether you're a beginner or trying to grow a detailing business, this will save you time, money, and frustration.
