Preservation Detailing with Collectible Cars and One Step Correction Technology.
Why are you a detailer? It is a question that we probably rarely ask ourselves but if you work on collections its something you'll need to ask yourself.

Jason Rose and Rupes Adapting To One Step Corrections
Should you be adapting to one step corrections? Isn't that an interesting question to bring up considering just a couple of years ago the industry was dominated by full corrections. So many shops boasted about being full correction only and didn't waste their time doing one steps. However many of them are wondering if they chose the wrong path for their business. So in this episode, Marshall sits down with Jason Rose live at MTE as they reflect on trainings they lead together in 2019 and discuss the need for one step corrections. Weigh in you opinion, should you be adapting to one step corrections? Voice your opinion on the hyperCLEAN Specialist Facebook Group.
Are Ceramic Coatings in Trouble? Lighting a Car on Fire and Are Coatings Going Away Because of That Stuff?
Lighting a car on fire is always used to talk about the biggest issue in the ceramic coating part of our industry. Is that really fair when someone is selling a "lifetime coating" or advising detailers to put a boat coating on a car? Maybe its the combination of a lot of different things but there is a big fear that the coating part of our industry is heading in a downward direction. Renny Doyle made some claims on our podcast at MTE that it was time to start holding companies and people accountable. What do you think? Will companies start to be held accountable? He brings up an interesting thought but will he and others start having the conversation. Thank you for being a part of the community and listening to our episode!
