The Rag Company Podcast | A Detailed Look Inside Car Care Culture
The Rag Company
Last episode about 2 months agoThe Rag Company Podcast is all about car care culture through auto detailing, community-building and an unusual look behind the scenes of one of the world’s largest suppliers of premium detailing products. While companies and business-oriented programs often come across as stuffy, self-important and unrelatable, The Rag Company Podcast Crew seek to buck that trend with their irreverent humor, lively community and a unifying goal of never taking oneself *too* seriously. (After all, we’re making cars shiny, not solving world peace)
