The Auto Detailing Podcast

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.
If you want to move the needle on your results, start here:

Is your ceramic coating failing? The #1 reason isn't the product—it's the maintenance. Today I'm exposing the biggest ceramic coating lies and showing you how to fix a clogged coating using Tough as Shell.
The industry wants you to believe coatings are "set it and forget it," but that's the fastest way to ruin your paint. We're breaking down the system I use to keep my cars looking brand new without the 8-hour weekend struggle.

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.

Are you still doing detailing steps that don't actually make your car cleaner, shinier, or safer? In this episode, I break down the MOST overrated detailing steps that modern chemistry has made totally unnecessary.

The number one complaint I get about my detailing products has nothing to do with performance or durability. It's that they are too easy to use and they actually do what the label says.
In this video, I break down why simple, effective products often get criticized, why the detailing world is conditioned to expect complicated systems, and why I intentionally design products that save time and deliver real results.
