Is Auto Detailing Therapeutic For Reliving Stress?

Welcome to the Pints & Polishing Podcast where we are a #community🍻 of Detailers.  In this new series with Jason Bruno @paint_assassins_ we will take a journey together to better understand paint correction. Our special guest for this inaugural episode is Alex Russell @detailsolutionsautospa who learned detailing at a car wash.  Could you be a paint correction specialist who is currently working at a car wash? One unique thing about this interview is that Alex has a true desire for the process of detailing.  We each have our own approach and it was really great learning his. Marshall @totalautosolutions enjoyed a Pecan Porter from Clown Shoes Brewery @clownshoesbeer and he rates it 4 pints. If you can find it and you like porters then its a must try.  Whichever you choose....grab a pint and enjoy!

A great part of this episode is a role play discussion between DJ and Marshall. Discussing, at what point in the sales process do you pitch maintenance programs to your client. The guys are suffering through their last Oktoberfest beer from Marshall Brewing. DJ Rates it 2 Pints and Marshall Rates it 1 Pint. Grab yourself a pint and enjoy.

Real Talk w/ Greg Masterson & Nick Walters

Hello Detailers 👋 Welcome to Real Talk where we have open discussions about our industry with a no holds bar approach to freedom.  All topics are open to discussion and we desire there to be a Real Talk for all us in the #community🍻  In this episode, we are joined by Nick @vegas.rides and Greg  @mastersonswax to have Real Talk discussion on how the DIY Marketing dominating the industry sales at over 13 Billion annually.  With that dominate force from chemical brands then why is under 3% of trade ins at a dealership in good quality? Wow it gets intense!! We transition over to learning from Greg and all he as done over the past years with Chemical Guys and his own brand Masterson Car Care.  As a detailer it is good to learn from other business owners on why the do what they do and then take the information and begin making notes on how you can be active in your local Facebook community.  There are thousands of groups in your town and if you listen to why Greg markets like he does...then I bet you can figure out how to do it for your business.  In case you need help, please send Marshall a text at 918.800.1188 and let's build your detailing brand stronger 💪💪💪
