Car detailing studios · Social media
Post the correction video that gets shared, not just another shiny photo.
Social media for a car detailing studio means Instagram and short video content showing real correction work and before-and-after transformations, which is naturally shareable content in this industry. GullySales plans, shoots and posts this on a schedule.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What social media means
Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For car detailing studios
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A paint correction video is inherently shareable content”
Watching a swirled, dull paint surface transformed into a mirror finish holds attention and gets shared in a way a simple photo often does not.
“Tag the car model and colour to reach owners of similar cars”
A post correctly tagged with the specific car model and colour reaches other owners of that exact car who are more likely to book the same service.
“Client permission and privacy need consistent handling”
Posting a customer's car and number plate needs a clear, consistent approach to permission and blurring, which protects both the customer and the studio's reputation.
What we do
What we deliver for car detailing studios.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Correction video content plan
A shooting and posting plan built around paint correction transformations, the most naturally shareable content in this trade.
Result: A transformation video gets shared further than a simple photo.
Model and colour tagging
Every relevant post tagged with the specific car model and colour shown.
Result: Owners of that exact car see the post and consider booking.
Customer privacy and permission guide
A clear, consistent rule for permission and blurring number plates before posting a customer's car.
Result: Every post protects the customer without a case-by-case guess.
Fixed posting schedule
A fixed schedule mixing correction, coating and quicker before-and-after content, matched to what the studio can realistically sustain.
Result: The page stays active without relying on someone remembering to post.
How the result is measured
- Posts published
- Engagement rate
- Enquiries from social profiles
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Platform for this buyer
Where a car owner looks before leaving a car for two days, and what to post.
- Instagram reels of one stage of the job
- Film one stage per reel, such as a polish pass under a torch or a coat being wiped off. Caption it with the car model, colour and service name. The action is to send photos of their car on WhatsApp for an estimate.
- YouTube, for the full coating day
- Put one long film here from decontamination to polish and cure, with the owner's usual question about the first wash answered. A buyer deciding on a coating watches this. End with the booking number.
- WhatsApp status and broadcast to past customers
- Post a clip of water beading on a coated car, with a reminder that a maintenance wash is due. The action is a reply to book the slot. Send only to customers who have agreed to hear from you.
- Owner clubs and model groups on Facebook
- Answer questions about swirl marks, bird dropping and care in the groups for the models you handle. Read each group's rules first. Offer an estimate only when somebody asks.
- What not to post
- Number plates, a customer's name, where a car is parked at home, or a car that came to you already damaged. Never name a rival studio's failed job, and do not claim a coating is permanent.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- No one can photograph a finished car in good light, so a feed would show the work badly and invite a comparison with rivals.
- Customers have not agreed to their car appearing online, so posting would expose their registration plates and their cars.

Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
