ok, so it's obvious that we all have OCD when it comes to cleaning cars. let's get that out of the way.
I got to wondering today how to be more effective when doing detailing for $$ and one of the things that pops up in my mind is how long it actually takes to wash the vehicle. Now when I say wash, I'm talking about cleaning in gas cap/filler areas, taking license plates off, cleaning seams around doors, hatches, grills, fog lights. badging. We're talking all the nooks and crannys being cleared of dirt, grime, bugs etc...
My question for the pros is, do you ever cut back on any of this when the request is a 1 step or even less, like a wash-n-wax? Seems the answer is no which means these smaller mini details are less profitable in the end right?
I did a mini detail which was an exterior only wash and seal and doing the wheels etc , it still took me 3 hours. Most of this time was spent actually washing the car.
Your thoughts?
