STOP wasting money on detailing gear that gathers dust. In today's episode, I'm stripping away the "ego buys" and showing you the 6 expensive tools you should NEVER buy—and the things you should invest in immediately to get pro results. Most detailers go broke before they even get their first client because they buy gear they only use twice a year. If you want to run a profitable business (or just have the cleanest car on the block), you need to invest in Chemistry and Technique, not just expensive machinery.

This week the world watched the murder of an American mother before she was rapidly slandered by the highest offices while her killer was sheltered and protected. Then, the Vice President declared the masked men of ICE, an agency with a long history of abuses, to have "absolute immunity". Despite that, and the FBI taking full control of the "investigation" into Renee Good's murder, the local District Attorney has decided to pursue charges against seasoned ICE agent Jonathan Ross. Detailing recent murders and deaths in detainment, summarizing video showing myriad abuses of power, including current abuses against women and members of the LGBTQ+ community, plus the history of Border Patrol's tactics, all help to illustrate the severity of the situation and why "comply or die" is the opposite of living in the land of the free. Amidst a time of chaos and intimidation, knowing your rights, protecting yourself, contributing however you can, staying engaged, and discerning between fact and propaganda is more important than ever.Find your representatives at USA.GOV and/or the "5 Calls" app and contact them, often. “I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” - James BaldwinWanna support this independent pod?

CONQUEST, THE DANELAW, AND THE EASTERN RUS Colleague Eleanor Barraclough. The conversation shifts from raiding to conquest, detailing the arrival of the "Great Heathen Army" in England around 865. Barracloughexplains that this force was likely comprised of smaller mobile warbands that eventually reached a stalemate with King Alfred, leading to the creation of the Danelaw and lasting linguistic influences on English place names. The discussion then moves east to the "Rus" (rowers) who navigated the waterways of Eurasia. Led by figures like Rurik, these Scandinavians settled in Novgorod and later Kiev, establishing a political foundation in what is now Russia and Ukraine. NUMBER 2

You don't always need more products — sometimes you just need a better approach. In this episode, I walk through three detailing habits I use that might seem a little unconventional, but have helped me save time and still get great results. We'll talk about: Why I don't use wash buckets anymore How I clean wheels with minimal scrubbing using wheel acid Why I use a ceramic spray on leather seats as part of my regular maintenance Everything I share is focused on working efficiently, not cutting corners. I'm big on making each product do more than one job and finding methods that simplify the process without sacrificing results. This isn't theory — it's what I use every day on real cars. If detailing ever feels more complicated or time-consuming than it needs to be, I think you'll get a lot out of this one.

Volodymyr Ishchenko, currently at the Institute for East European Studies, Freie Universität Berlin, discusses his latest book, Towards the Abyss: Ukraine from Maidan to War (Verso, 2024) and forthcoming paper “Post-Soviet vicious circle: revolution as a reproduction of a crisis of hegemony” (co-authored with Oleg Zhuravlev). Historicising how post-Soviet revolutions in Ukraine have functioned, Ishchenko considers how the 2014 Euromaidan revolution produced a weaker state whose fate, instead of being decided by Moscow, has been directed by Washington or Brussels. Delineating how the 2022 war is, in part, the culmination of Ukraine's history in relationship to Russia, where cross-national capital allied itself with the local professional middle classes and where anti-nationalist arguments clashed with the tendency to understand the war within the context of Ukraine's perceived colonial struggle, Ishchenko observes how these primordial, ethno-nationalist readings lend themselves to a larger teleology. Detailing how the war in 2022 becomes the culmination of this story, a sort of parable of the struggling, emerging nation, Ishchenko explores how the narrative construction of Ukrainian nationhood mirrors the creation of the nation-state, like many countries from the 19th century onward. He also interrogates the various theories that proffer origins of the war as being rooted in the Russia-NATO conflict, as maintained by Jeffrey Sachs and John Mearsheimer. Instead, Ishchenko considers an alternative reading of this history, positing that the war in Ukraine has little to do with the inclusion of Ukraine within NATO, nor is it about NATO's inclusion of neighbouring countries. Instead, Ishchenko contends that the 2022 war is a culmination of Russia's exclusion from the process and dialogues by and around NATO.

The poem concludes with a fierce war in Italy, ending abruptly as Aeneas kills his rival Turnus, securing the legacy where Trojansultimately become Romans.

How to Run a Successful Family-Run Mobile Detailing Business & Get Customers Only on Facebook and No Website! In this inspiring discussion, Anthony Henderson of Better Than New Mobile Detailing in Louisville, KY, shares his unique, simplified approach to running a successful and profitable mobile detailing business—with his family by his side! Anthony is a rare example of an owner who has intentionally kept his business small and family-run to prioritize quality of life, including homeschooling his children, and he shares how his family is part of the detailing work. Key Takeaways for Detailers: Low Barrier to Entry: You can start a mobile detailing business with just $500 to $600 and a minivan. Facebook is Your Main Tool: Anthony gets consistent, daily work by running simple, targeted Facebook ads and manages all his bookings through Facebook Messenger, without needing a dedicated website or an email marketing list. He can book a customer in about a minute using a simple script. His first ads ran for just $5 a day and filled his calendar two weeks out with 3 or 4 appointments daily. Keep Your Eyes on Your Own Business: Anthony recommends focusing on what makes sense for your business and avoiding distraction by what other detailers are charging or doing, even blocking other detailers on his Facebook page to maintain focus. Keep Reviews On: He's one of the few detailers who keeps his Facebook reviews turned on, having over 500 reviews, which builds immediate trust with new customers.

Most car care brands do not want you watching this. Today I'm breaking down the real truth about how detailing products are made, how private labeling works, and why so many brands rely on marketing instead of real chemistry. I've been behind the scenes for years—fulfilling products, private labeling, working with manufacturers, and now developing my own formulas with a chemist. I've seen how this industry really operates, and very few people talk about it honestly. In this episode, I cover: • The truth about private label products • Why most brands don't make their own formulas • How easy it is to white-label average or poor products • Why packaging often sells more than actual chemistry • The real margins and how they drive decisions • Why many influencers recommend certain products • How detailing products are actually made behind the scenes • What cheap formulas skip and why performance suffers • How my own development process works • Why I'm trying to build Jimbo's Detailing differently I also share what goes into products like Picture Perfect Polish, The Super Soaper, Gloss Boss, and more—how they're tested, developed, and refined. Building products the right way is slower and harder, and it takes time to show people the difference. But this episode explains exactly why I'm doing it this way. If you want honest, transparent insight into the detailing world, this podcast will be valuable.
