Ralda's Details is a detailing shop offering both mobile detailing and shop services. They have 387 five star reviews, 3 vans, over 4 employees, and offer training. Perhaps most interesting, Tony also builds and sells mobile detailing vans to other detailers throughout the country. 

On the podcast, Tony talks about how he got started detailing in his home country of Guatemala and how he has since scaled Ralda's to a premium detail shop offering ceramic coatings, window tint, and paint protection film (PPF). We talk about introducing new services to your existing detailing business without sacrificing your five star rating, mobile vs shop detailing, Tony's experience training others, and much more.
