They explore the risks associated with using concentrated products and the shift away from traditional all-purpose cleaners (APCs) towards newer, safer alternatives like Revive.

Takeaways Ice skating in Vegas is a new experience. Winter detailing requires creative problem-solving. Focus on interior detailing during cold months. Quality control in car manufacturing is declining. APCs can be harmful to modern plastics. New cleaning products are emerging in the market. Detailers need to adapt to changing materials. Revive offers a safer alternative to traditional cleaners. Understanding product ingredients is crucial for detailers. Dealerships heavily rely on APCs for cleaning.

Time spent on diluting products can add up, affecting overall efficiency. Quality products can save time and provide peace of mind. The cost of saving on cheaper products can lead to significant losses in business. Proper panel prep is crucial for the effectiveness of ceramic coatings.

In this episode of the Pints and Polishing podcast, Marshall and Nick delve into various aspects of car detailing, including the significance of pad residue, the cost of detailing services, and the importance of maintaining vehicle cleanliness. They discuss the evolution of paint systems, the challenges of customer expectations, and the embarrassment often felt by customers regarding their vehicle's condition. The conversation emphasizes the need for regular maintenance and clear communication between detailers and clients. In this conversation, Nick and Marshall discuss various aspects of car detailing, focusing on product versatility, the importance of lubrication in washing, and the benefits of using TRX and Eco One products. They explore the challenges of maintaining cleanliness during winter and the effectiveness of rinseless and waterless washing techniques. The discussion also touches on holiday movie trends and the nostalgia associated with them, providing a light-hearted contrast to the technical details of car care. Takeaways Understanding paint systems is crucial for effective detailing. The transition from single-stage to clear-coated paint occurred around 1990. Regular maintenance prevents costly detailing services. Detailing should focus on maintaining cleanliness, not just restoration. Customers often feel embarrassed about their vehicle's condition. Clear communication is key in managing customer expectations. Detailing services can vary greatly in cost depending on location and service level. Maintaining a vehicle's interior is as important as the exterior. Avoiding food in the car can significantly reduce interior wear.

TRX products are versatile and dominate the market. Understanding product dilution is crucial for effective use. Rinseless and waterless washing can be effective in winter.

In this episode of the Pints and Polishing Podcast, hosts Marshall and Nick delve into various topics related to car care, including how to make tire shine last longer, the importance of understanding paint hardness, and tips for choosing the right car. They also discuss common issues with ceramic coatings and provide cleaning techniques for glass and paint. The conversation is filled with practical advice and insights for car enthusiasts and detailers alike. In this conversation, Marshall Hill and Nick discuss various aspects of automotive detailing, focusing on ceramic coating, paint correction, and the intricacies of pricing strategies in the detailing business. They also touch on the dynamics of the boxing world, reflecting on recent fights and the promotional aspects that drive viewership. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding product application, market efficiency, and the nuances of customer service in the detailing industry. Takeaways Tire shine longevity depends on whether it's water-based or solvent-based. Proper preparation of the tire is crucial for effective dressing. Water-based dressings may last 3-7 days depending on conditions. Silicone is a common ingredient in most tire dressings. Ceramic coatings should not be applied in freezing temperatures. Look for even distribution of sweat beads when leveling coatings. Buy cars that fit your needs and budget, regardless of others' opinions. Always lubricate when cleaning glass to avoid scratches. Using a stainless steel razor blade can help remove stubborn residues. Dawn dish soap can be used as a slip solution for cleaning. Stay away from coating cameras to avoid costly repairs. Taping off sensitive areas during detailing can prevent mess. Understanding paint hardness is crucial for effective correction. Efficiency in pricing can lead to better business outcomes. Market dynamics can influence pricing strategies in detailing. Volume can compensate for lower pricing in detailing services. Detailing is about framing the overall appearance of the vehicle. Not all paint types require different products; technique matters more. Business success often comes from understanding local market conditions. Promotions in boxing can significantly impact viewer engagement.

This podcast is a summary (of sorts) after Nick and Yvan's “detailing showdown” on the KIA (detailing, decontaminating and polishing using different techniques). Nick approached the competition as his old self at Hawk Pro Detailing, while Yvan used the DIY Detail methods/system. The big question: is the extra work, strain and stress worth it?Products mentioned:INCREDIBLE SUDS: https://bit.ly/IncredibleSudsDECON TOWEL: https://bit.ly/FineGradeClayTowelIRON REMOVER: https://bit.ly/3GfY4iMWATER SPOT REMOVER: https://bit.ly/WaterSpotRemoverDIYGOLD STANDARD POLISH: https://bit.ly/GoldStandardPolishWOOL CUTTING PAD: https://bit.ly/GoldStandardWoolPadGOLD STANDARD YELLOW FOAM PAD: https://bit.ly/GoldStandardWafflePadCERAMIC GLOSS: https://bit.ly/CeramicGlossHere are the videos in the 3-part series:Wash/decontaminate:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RclIvlYkaH0Polish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQbVpD6pRmEJudging the results (Pan, Keav, FAB, RAD): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C93iTp0qDIQAnd here's the clay towel podcast we mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgLw9Gh4PFIWebsite: https://diydetail.com/Podcast:https://bit.ly/DIYDetailPodcastJoin the DIY Detail Facebook Group!: https://bit.ly/DIYDetailFacebookGroupFind DIY Detail products worldwide: https://diydetail.com/pages/distributors#autodetailing  #diydetail #yvanlacroix #carwash #claytowel #detailing #detalingtip #howtodetailacar #detailing101

Welcome to Another Ask Me Anything!!! The conversation covers various topics related to coatings, mobile setups, personal experiences, and the quality of products in the detailing industry. The hosts discuss the possibility of coatings with filling qualities, the importance of shaking liquid chemicals, setting up a mobile detailing business, favorite grand tour cars, surrounding oneself with like-minded people, and personal growth as a boss. They also touch on the responsibility of detailers to use high-quality products and the role of distributors in educating customers about inferior products. In this conversation, Marshall and Nick discuss various topics related to business operations and detailing products. They address the use of wrong info in business discussions, the quality of ingredients in cleaning products, the differences between surfactants in different applications, the effectiveness of touchless car wash products, the challenges of hiring and maintaining a team, the shelf life of coatings, and their favorite flavors of High Noon drinks. Takeaways Coatings with filling qualities are not currently available, but it is a possibility for the future. Shaking liquid chemicals is a habit that can be hard to break, even when it comes to carbonated drinks. Simplicity is key when setting up a mobile detailing business, and it's important to find a setup that works for your specific needs. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people is important for personal and professional growth. Detailers should take personal responsibility for the quality of products they use on customers' cars and not settle for inferior options. Distributors should educate customers about the differences in product quality and recommend superior options. Using 'we' in business discussions can create a more professional image, even for solo operators Dish soaps and car wash soaps have different surfactants and are designed for different purposes Touchless car wash products can be effective, but they may require harsher chemicals and careful application Hiring can be a challenging process, and it's important to be open to hiring multiple candidates to find the right fit Coatings have a shelf life of around 6-12 months after opening, depending on storage conditions High Noon drinks are refreshing, and everyone has their favorite flavor Chapters 00:00 Coatings and Filling Qualities 02:21 Shaking Liquid Chemicals 06:05 Favorite Grand Tour Cars 09:41 Taking Responsibility for Product Quality 21:46 Personal Growth and Apologies 23:29 Comparing Detailing Career to Boxing/MMA 30:33 The Use of Pronouns in Business Discussions 33:47 The Quality of Ingredients in Cleaning Products 39:46 The Differences Between Surfactants in Different Applications 45:33 The Effectiveness of Touchless Car Wash Products 55:14 The Shelf Life of Coatings 57:11 Favorite Flavors of High Noon Drinks

We recently sat down with longtime friend, detailing expert and storyteller extraordinaire Dylan von Kleist to revisit some of his lessons learned detailing during the early days of internet forums, swap meets and discovering detail products you couldn't just buy at the auto parts store. ⁠Dylan von Kleist⁠ has explored the depths of detailing and the industry that surrounds it since the 90's. Starting with his own operation, which eventually led to the formative years of Adam's Polishes, Surf City Garage, RUPES USA and now Autowash-- Dylan is thoughtful, well-rounded and full of stories, which is why we knew he had to be the first guest to experience our new show format!
