“I got one of those paint corrections. The car looked worse afterwards.” Many times, detailers do not get the chance to prove what sets us apart.\u00a0 It is often assumed all detailers do the same exact thing.<\/p>\n
Why Education And Transparency<\/strong><\/p>\n If you asked many of the people that know me reasonably well, they would probably never question my pricing.\u00a0 My most loyal, nicest, and understanding clients are doing it yourself, enthusiasts.\u00a0\u00a0I believe one of the main benefits of doing mobile detailing is the interactive experience I have with my clients.\u00a0 Communicating that quality takes time often falls on deaf ears until I am in someone’s garage and they observe me for an hour focused on polishing a panel of their car.\u00a0 Telling someone what that person wants to hear and providing the allusion of quality is much easier in the short run.\u00a0 This is not sustainable in the long run.\u00a0 It can leave a bad experience for those who have unrealistic expectations.\u00a0 In short, I find it to be a poor alternative to marketing oneself.<\/p>\n What Business Owners May Not Realize<\/strong><\/p>\n There is an invisible group not being accounted for when people say, “99% percent of people don’t care about quality and just want cheap products and services.”\u00a0 There is an invisible group not being accounted for when detailing business owners complain that “nobody appreciates a good detail or people have unrealistic expectations.”\u00a0 This invisible group consists of enthusiasts who are uncomfortable having their car professionally detailed because they only see businesses cater to what is perceived to be 99% of the detailing market.\u00a0 Their first and likely last time was an awful reminder that what is normal for most people is not the kind of detailing they were expecting.<\/p>\n I educate people on my value knowing I was not meant to provide a service to everyone.\u00a0 My contributions may lead to someone making a more thoughtful and informed decision.\u00a0 This may lead to someone supporting another business owner who is invested in providing a quality service.\u00a0 That is why I publicly support and defend detailers (even my local competitors) on social media when they receive the same critiques I have.\u00a0 My growth is not only tied to that of the industry, but it is my way of honoring the people that have supported me and provided me a platform.\u00a0 With a foundation of self-respect of course, I believe in honesty and helping others.<\/p>\n There are not enough positive representations of the industry.\u00a0 I hope to change that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My Professional Detailing Journey: Part 5 – Why Education And Transparency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":32175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1412],"tags":[2812],"class_list":{"0":"post-30929","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-running-a-detailing-business","8":"tag-running-a-business"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20180804_114110-1024x768-1.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1kPO7-82R","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/43"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30929"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30929\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32176,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30929\/revisions\/32176"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
