If you only had 30 seconds to convince someone on why they should have their car professionally detailed what would you say?

You have no idea what having no idea can do to ruin paint..... don't be a cheap-ass.


How's that?
 
i would have a LED light and show them all the swirls on their car that are caused by prior improper washing/drying/products...
 
Focus just as much attention on the protection as the appearance. People think of detailers as just making the car look good. They don't often understand that the products we use make their cars look good....longer!

This is spot on.

I do some light detailing for friends and family. Lately I've been detailing cars for people who work where my sister works. Vacuum, nice wipe down of interior, very minor paint correction (usually a meguiars AIO). I have a black car that's 3 years old. I keep the paint in top shape. I use the car as an example to show them the results they can get from a detail. (This is only works for light paint correction. I'm not doing a full on detail you guys are probably referring to. But a finished product can help make the sale.)

:whs: x1000 BECAUSE what has been seen cannot be unseen!!

I've gotten more business from showing people what "ignorance" can do then in hours of educating someone on all the benefits. If you show them what car dealers "see" and why they low ball you because it will cost them to get the car ready for sale then they understand the "resale value" argument, other than that, they don't get it!

Problem is pulling out a light and showing them doesnt affect their daily lifestyle. Also 90% of people out the difference either. If I had 30 seconds, I'd say something similar to what someone else had mentioned-- resale value. Get the car done when you decide to sell it, bring it to me. I'll take detailed pictures and you can use it for your for sale ad to get a couple more thousand dollars.

Me personally, i detailed a camery that was for sale for a couple months. After I detailed it took some after shots. The guy put it back up with my shots and sold it for $11.5k in a week vs his $10k he had up for a couple months. I cannot definitivley say that the detail got the car sold, but I can say there is a strong correlation, so I'd use that example.

LMAO!!! That one cracked me up!! Almost saying, "Stupid is as is Stupid does!"

I recently pointed out to one of my clients in my main business (not detailing) that she had swirls in her car. She did not realize it until I showed her in the parking lot. It was a sunny day and there was no need to use a flashlight. She could clearly see it.

I let her know that whoever is taking care of her car has no clue on detailing the car.

She let me know that it was her gardener washing the car for extra $$.

Her $300,000 Custom Bentley Convertible with swirls...ouch!!!

All within 30 seconds.

DetailKitty one thing was for sure....I did not tell her she was a "Cheap-Ass"....LOL!!!!

As for whether she still uses him I would guess not!!

I hope you are not rehearsing for an elevator sales pitch or even worse a urinal call. No one appreciates either of those FWIW
