Welcome back to another episode of the Detailed Car Collection where we discuss car covers. Nick arrived at a customers house to see a brand new Ferrari under a car cover! Let's discuss the type of damage we can see because of car covers and the reality around them. It is really hard to believe that we see detailing companies pushing car covers on their instagram, YouTube or Facebook pages. 

We also discuss hyperCLEAN UNO install on a Ford Raptor and a Mercedes Camper Van that gets windshield film coated in GLASS as well. This is a fun episode that may open some eyes but will probably hurt some feelings in the car cover community.

Thank you for listening to this episode and as always being a part of our auto detailing community.

Welcome to the Community 🍻 Pub and in this episode car care specialist join in on a fun discussion about what changes they have seen.  Is the LS swap on a Miata the most reliable v8 ever made? Is a simple one step the most reliable service to offer customers? The answer to these questions and more as we continue into part two of last weeks recording....so grab a Pint and Enjoy 🍻

The most important thing in car care is the processes that we develop to complete a detail. Marshall and Nick discuss how they detail a car but specifically how they apply a ceramic coating. If you have great ceramic technology the process should be easy and straightforward but unfortunately many installers choose a finicky system which is causing them headaches. 

A company can only grow if their processes are repeatable and so we tackle where ceramic coatings fall into that system. We also discuss what should you charge for services since it seems everyone has an opinion on the internet about what other detailers should charge.

There is nothing quite like a crazy auto auction story. We were involved in shifting the market on E90 BMW M3's this past week and we want to explain how it happens. When you read or watch content around auctions many times what is said is theory and not coming from someone who actually deals in the car market. Things in this world are often times not what they seem. So you need to be very detailed and understand exactly what is happening in real time if you want to find any amount of success.

The auto auction market has changed significantly and online auctions have driven that change very quickly. So, when discussing this auction we will lay out exactly what went on and how I identified a fishy situation. Also, the importance of me keeping a cool head lead to a great ending to this story. There is nothing more thrilling to me than buying and selling cars at auction and it has lead me to more business in my auto detailing life as well. 

Thank you for listening to todays podcast and as always thank you for being a part of our auto detailing community!

Welcome to the Community 🍻 Pub and in this episode we dive into all the changes that are happening inside of our businesses.  Everyone of us experience changes but Entrepreneurs know that we must evolve with the changes. What changes do you see that you need to make because of shipping charges, gas increases, people's expectations, friends or family members comments? Maybe you need to make changes and need help but don't know how to talk through it with others....so join the hyperCLEAN Specialist group on Facebook to talk though your changes.  

We have a fun episode today where we discuss many different topics in the auto detailing world. Marshall shares a story from a detailer in a Facebook group complaining about his ceramic coating territory. It seems it is all too common to hear these kinds of stories from auto detailers but, how can we look at these and learn from them? Marshall and Nick talk about the reality around there being no territories in the coating business. We have all been learning over the past 5-7 years that there is just no way to have a territory in coatings but why do companies and detailers keep fighting over it? 

That topic of territories lead to a discussion on tough conversations and the importance of having them when it come to our life and business. We have all struggled to look in the mirror and have a tough conversation and we are just here to discuss that today. We all struggle with those conversations but if you want to advance in life and business we better start having them! 

Thank you for listening to todays episode and as always for being a part of our auto detailing community.

The number one question I get asked is about hiring team members. But the close second is about opening up a shop. Auto Detailing is a business that can exist on a mobile scale only, but it seems that most of us want to open a shop as well. On todays episode I want to dive into how I picked out my shop and the model of shop I wanted to have. 

This is not a perfect blueprint for anyone to follow it is meant as some ideas I took into account when I decided on my shop. What did I think about and what did I find important in the process? I try my best to share with each one of you mindset and what I think set me up for success. 

We want to thank you for listening and as always for being a part of out auto detailing community.

Have you ever wondered how we can gain more respect for our industry? Would certifications solve the problem? In this episode of the Community 🍻 Pub, Detailers chime in on their thoughts of legitimizing our industry as well as some tips for cleaning interiors.  During this discussion a really interesting question is raised...do dealership detailers clean interiors better? Weigh in on your answer inside the hyperCLEAN Specialist page on Facebook.  

Welcome to another episode of the Pints and Polishing Podcast. Today we talk about hiring and Marshall shares a story about someone he knows in the medical field. They are having to shut locations because they are having such a hard time hiring staff members. It is really easy for all of us to fall into the trap of saying it’s really hard to hire auto detailing professionals but the truth is the entire world is struggling to hire. 

We talk about chemical distribution and how auto detailers can use chemicals to expand their business without having to hire team members. There are plenty of our distributors adding to their revenue without having to take on massive amounts of team members.

We also discuss know your worth and what it really means. Marshall shares a story he saw on TikTok about this subject. Auto detailers are told to know their worth, but what are the rules? A detailer charges $4000 to coat a vehicle without correction and he is charging too much but another detailer down the street isn't charging enough? WHAT ARE THE RULES? 

We have fun discussing these topics today on this episode. Thank you for listening and being a part of our auto detailing community.

Welcome to this weeks Detailed Car Collection episode on the Pints and Polishing Podcast. We talk about Correcting a Lamborghini hood that was damaged and arrived straight from the body shop. How should we treat paint correction when it comes to PPF installation? If you read auto detailing Facebook you would believe we have to do at least a 2 step correction before we ever think about installing PPF. 

Are we doing the right thing by just having a hard and fast rule when it comes to these types of things in auto detailing? Also, where does our customer fit into this picture? What about the car, where does that fit in as well?

When auto detailers post on Facebook we seem to see a hard line being drawn at every corner but it always seems to cost the customer more money. We also talk very little about the paint system and keeping it healthy in these conversations. Today we tackle a few of these issues on the podcast.
