Auto Detailers: Favorite Tools
Let's chat about your favorite tools or products as a detailer and why. I'll go first. Scrub Ninja / Scrub Pad: I love these for cleaning textured surfaces in interiors. It covers a lot of area and cleans out the textured areas quickly. I use them on leather seats a lot and love using them to clean out the messes that get caught in speaker grills. Rinsless Wash: I'm currently using McKee's N914 in my unite but most Rinsless wash products are great. We use it to clean most interiors because it's effective and safe on all materials inside vehicles and the dilution ratio's are crazy good. I also use it to was the exterior of vehicles. It's just a super safe and versatile product.Do you utilize battery-powered tools?
Handheld battery-powered tools have come a long way from their first iterations, especially over the past few years. I've started making the switch away from gas-powered equipment throughout the last few seasons for my business and have found the switch to be positive for my workflow and bottom line. This is a trend I believe will continue as batteries become more powerful and long-lasting. Are you utilizing any battery-powered equipment and, if so, do you have any favorites you'd like to share??Curious ... do most teams back up job files from Jobber?
Hey all, just wondering if this is something others have run into. A few of our clients have been talking about how they handle long-term storage of job photos and documents, especially when staff leave, or when they want to organize files outside of Jobber. Some mentioned wanting to move things to Google Drive or DropBox automatically, but I’m not sure how common that need really is. Just curious, have you or your team thought about this? Is keeping a backup of Jobber media files part of your process, or not really a concern? Appreciate any thoughts!

Hey fellow detailers, What are some systems you have implemented in your business and what is either working well or not so well with them? Personally I am basically still solo. So, I rely heavily on Jobber to support my operations and try to run as much as I possibly can through Jobber. One system that has been good for me and my business is the Reviews feature. I've been in business now for 26 months and have 168 5-star reviews now. I was using NiceJob for the same thing before Jobber launched it's tool.
