Ep22: Cleaning a 2018 BMW X5

Alex Draghicescu

October 23, 2021

Today on the Confessions Of A Car Cleaner podcast, we’re talking about Cleaning a 2018 BMW X5 with a bad case of “bird bombing” (or so I thought…).

The car belongs to an older client of mine, whom I hadn’t seen in over a year. He responded to a “reactivation offer” I sent him, and wanted to schedule his car for cleaning.

Because business was a bit slow at the time, I booked him in right away, skipping the crucial steps of inspecting the car first and asking him a few qualifying questions.

As it turns out, that came back to bite me in the butt…

This is a great episode to listen to, especially if you find yourself in the above situation.

August 27, 2021

Today on the Confessions Of A Car Cleaner podcast, we’re talking about The Most Considerate Gift.

It all started with a phone call I got from one of my longtime clients.

He said, “Alex, I’m in big trouble right now. I messed up, and I need your help. Can you help me?”

And after listening to the whole story, not only did I help him, but I also felt grateful to be able to do so…

This is a great episode to listen to, especially if you find yourself in the above situation.

Ep20: 8 Ways You Could Get Injured While Cleaning Your Own Car

Alex Draghicescu

August 6, 2021

Today on the Confessions Of A Car Cleaner podcast, we’re talking about 8 Ways You Could Get Injured While Cleaning Your Own Car.

Do you enjoy washing and cleaning your own car?

If so, you might find what you’re about to listen to quite interesting, and perhaps even a bit startling, especially if you’re a surgeon, financial or real-estate advisor, lawyer, or some type of professional whose income-producing activity is dependent on you being physically present at certain times in a specific location.

Washing and cleaning their own car is usually a pleasant activity that many people enjoy doing, especially on the weekends.

Some say that it might even have therapeutic effects as it seems to relieve stress, and it also counts as beneficial physical exercise.

But all these upsides do not come without potential downsides.

In fact, the source of inspiration for this topic was one of my clients, who happens to be a surgeon (and a very good one).

This is a great episode to listen to, especially if you find yourself in the above situation.

July 6, 2021

Today on the Confessions Of A Car Cleaner podcast, we’re talking about How I Broke My #1 Rule, and what happened because of that.

To put this into context, it all started with a phone call I received in early June this year.

On the phone, it was a lady who lives in a certain neighbourhood where I have been marketing my services for a while. With Father’s Day coming up, she was interested in potentially buying a gift card from me, to give to her husband.

I’ll share what I did, and also what I should’ve done to avoid what happened next.

Today on the Confessions Of A Car Cleaner podcast, we’re talking about Are You Paying Enough For Car Cleaning Services?

We’re talking about this in the context of car cleaning, but it really applies to many areas of life.

And it’s because a precondition we all humans have — it’s called the “fear of loss”.

We’re naturally averse to losing any possession that we have, and money is one of these possessions.

But when you’re shopping price instead of value, you’re opening yourself to all kinds of potential trouble.

This is a great episode to listen to, especially if you’re about to make a major purchase — or even smaller ones.

Today on the Confessions Of A Car Cleaner podcast, we’re talking about You Want My Business? Make Me Feel Important.

In this episode, we’re changing gears a little bit, and I tell you a personal story, which came with a lesson for me.

Old story. About 10 years old. We had just moved into our current house, and the floors needed to be replaced.

The carpet was old and worn out, and because the previous owner had cats, and hadn’t stayed quite in top of the cleaning, there was a funny odour lingering around. In fact, it smelled like cat pee.

This is a great episode to listen to, especially if you’ve ever gone through a similar experience — or you’re about to.

And the best way to avoid any mistake in general is by learning that the mistake actually exists in the first place, and it can be made.

And not just you. That’s goes for me, and anybody else.

Take for example “low price”.

“Low price” can be the bait that’s attracts your first phone call. But it can lead to a much more expensive mistake, later down the road.

Alex Draghicescu

December 26, 2020

Today on the Confessions Of A Car Cleaner podcast, we’re talking about 6 Car Cleaning Rip-Offs To Watch Out For.

There are so many options when it comes to car cleaning, and so many car cleaning companies out there — how can you tell which one is the right choice for you?

On the surface they all look the same — nice looking website, lots of pictures of customers’ cars, and a big promise to treat your car as if it were their own.

But there are usually some warning signs, which light up as soon as you enter a conversation with some of these companies, and tell you it’s probably better to look elsewhere.

I call them “warning signs”, but a more appropriate term would be “rip-offs”…

This is a great episode to listen to, especially if you’re in the market for getting your car cleaned.
