I sat down with Kirk Evans to discuss what's been going on with the Detailers of the Round Table. Kirk explained they are trying to get detailing recognized as trade in multiple cities and states, but it's a long hard road. We then talked about the Shine Time Luxury Detail Expo that they are putting on with Josh Hernandez from the ADA. Kirk asked me about the paint correction competition at MTE and we discussed the possibilities of that.

I met Erin & John Beatty at SEMA when we coincidently happen to be at the same restaurant. They had been looking for the Aquatek Coatings crew to talk about bringing our products to their detail supply store. I liked their story and wanted to talk more about the hurdles they've jumped through just to open a brick and mortar store front.

I start off 2025 with a special collaboration episode with my good friend matt Arendt from Driven by Details Podcast. Matty and I sit down to take a hard look at the state of the industry - from the impact of private equity buyouts and what they mean for small businesses, to the importance of ongoing training and building the confidence to know your worth when selling a package. This is a conversation packed with insight, perspective, and actionable advice.
