One more day! Make it count!
To everyone still working on their Jobber Grant Phase 2 application: You still have time. One more day can make a huge difference. Before you submit, ask yourself: ✅ Is the problem I’m solving crystal clear? ✅ Have I explained why my solution is different? ✅ Did I clearly show how the funding will be used? ✅ Are my goals specific and measurable? ✅ Would someone who knows nothing about my business understand my vision after reading this? A few tips: Be specific. Avoid vague statements when you can provide examples. • Focus on impact, not just ideas. • Show how the grant will help you reach your next milestone. • Proofread everything one more time. • Make it easy for reviewers to understand why your business matters. Many great applications are separated by clarity, not just the idea itself. Good luck to everyone applying. Finish strong and put your best work forward. 👏Good luck to all the Jobber Grant applicants.

Are there any car detailers on Jobber?
Hello Jobber community, I’m Zane Smith, a 21-year-old business owner based in Broward County, Florida, and co-owner of Spray Wipe Wash alongside my partner, Niwangee Nicolas (22). We run a luxury vehicle detailing company built around dealership-level standards. Over the past six years, I’ve specialized in detailing Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Lamborghini, and other high-end and exotic brands, working directly with those dealerships. That experience shaped how we operate Spray Wipe Wash today—every vehicle gets treated like it’s sitting on a showroom floor, not in a driveway. While our core focus is luxury automotive detailing, we’re actively expanding into boat, plane, and residential detailing to offer a full premium care experience for our clients’ entire portfolio of assets.We’re new to Jobber and I’ve noticed there aren’t many car detailing companies on here, so I’m excited to connect with other owners, share ideas, and grow alongside a community that takes their business as seriously as we do.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.
