How to price mobile detailing jobs

Package menus, vehicle-size multipliers, condition surcharges and a formula that covers your true cost per job.

Before & after photos that sell

The 60-second photo habit that turns every job into marketing — what to shoot, where to post, what to say.

How to build efficient detailing routes

Zone-based booking, nearest-first ordering, and the water & power logistics that decide your daily capacity.

How to get more detailing customers

Google Business Profile, automatic reviews, referrals, memberships and win-backs — the whole loop.

Run all of it in one place

ShinePilot Pro turns this advice into a workflow: washes that rebook themselves, memberships that invoice themselves, loyalty punch cards, optimized routes, a crew app with before & afters, and review requests on autopilot — flat $20/month, everything included.
