What’s the “goal” of detailing: preservation, perfection or profits?
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?

Customer Reviews
Efficient and helpful
Yvan and Nick teach a detailing method that is efficient and fun. Their podcast is the same. As a minivan dad with 3 under 3, I appreciate how much practical information you pack into your episodes.
I also appreciate that you make detailing accessible to someone who has numerous other obligations. Your focus on efficiency means I can fit it into my schedule and into my budget. Your focus on making it enjoyable means it doesn’t feel like just another job. Thanks for making a higher standard of car care attainable and enjoyable!
Informative
Certainly worth every minute of your attention.
Genius!
Whether you’re a driveway detailer or a pro you will learn something new in every episode! I’ve been sucked in since I found this podcast and have been “binge listening” while at work! Keep up the great work guys!!
