In this podcast, we go over a number of terms and products in the industry -- did we miss any? If so, mention them in the comments.

It's a question you might not ask yourself very often, but it's worth exploring: why, exactly, do we detail? Is it in pursuit of perfection? Is the goal to preserve the original finish -- whether it be on the paint, or the interior? Or, is the goal ... profits? Lots of you turn detailing into a business, after all. That's what Nick and Yvan discuss in this episode. What say you?
