Becoming a Detail Industry Rep | DETALKS
Tuesday Mar 20, 2018
Tuesday Mar 20, 2018
How does one go from being a full time detailer to a corporate industry rep? Levi and Dylan talk about their transition from detailing cars to representing a company. While some jobs require fancy degrees, there are others that require hands on experience and years in an industry. The detailing industry is a perfect example of that. These two men have thousands of hours behind a polisher and know the ins and outs of the industry. They know what products work and what don't. So what makes them different? They have a shining personality of course! As Dylan mentions, not everyone is fit for being in front of a camera or teaching an audience. It takes a certain type of person to successfully represent a company.
If you could choose a corporate detailing company to join, who would it be? Let us know in the comments!

Lake Country Microfiber Pads | DETALKS
Friday Mar 16, 2018
Friday Mar 16, 2018
Why would someone use microfiber polishing pads over traditional foam? David Patterson explains the difference between the Lake Country Machine pad lineup and how microfiber fits into the paint correction equation! Microfiber isn't only for removing compound, but can also be used for applying it! Microfiber cutting pads are known to have a rather aggressive cut for deep imperfections. Whereas the Microfiber polishing pad can lightly cut but still provide a smooth final finish. David spent a few days in Idaho at The Rag Company headquarters and filmed a handful of DETALKS and demonstration videos. So Stay tuned for future uploads! Want to see more Lake Country products?

Forced Rotation Machine Pads | DETALKS
Thursday Mar 15, 2018
Thursday Mar 15, 2018
What makes forced rotation foam pads different from the rest? David Patterson from Lake Country explains the science behind the foam and why the design is specifically for Forced machines! If you've used a Flex 3401. Makita, or new Rupes Mille, then you know these machines pack some serious power. Mainly because of the gear driven rotation that keeps moving no matter what you do! Hence why an extra cushion on the pad is necessary for pressure and heat. The foam design is different than most flat pads or even the long throw HDO pads. These Forced pads produce less vibration and give the user a better feel of the machine. David spent a few days in Idaho at The Rag Company headquarters and filmed a handful of DETALKS and demonstration videos. So Stay tuned for future uploads! Want to see more Lake Country products?

HDO Long Throw Foam Pads | DETALKS
Wednesday Mar 14, 2018
Wednesday Mar 14, 2018
What's the difference between long throw polisher pads and short throw polisher pads? David Patterson talks about the gritty difference in how the foam is made for detailing purposes. HDO pads were made specifically for long throw polishers such as a RUPES, Meguiers, FLEX, and more. These polishers put the foam through the ringer with a TON of heat and abrasion. Therefore, the foam needs to be constructed to take the beating and still correct paint! David spent a few days in Idaho at The Rag Company headquarters and filmed a handful of DETALKS and demonstration videos. So Stay tuned for future uploads! Want to see more Lake Country products?

The $50 Detail (feat. Dylan von Kleist) | DETALKS
Friday Mar 09, 2018
Friday Mar 09, 2018
On this special edition of "Between Two Detailers," Levi and Dylan talk about the infamous $50 detail job.
To read Dylan's article, go HERE.
As everyone knows, you get what you pay for. But how does that translate into the detail world? Most people would consider a $10 automated car wash to be average, so why wouldn't a $50 full detail be in the same ballpark? Levi and Dylan talk about the quality of work involved in cheap detail jobs and why this still exist. Because let's face it, some people like cheap things and will continue to like cheap things for the rest of time. A high quality detail should never seem "cheap," and if it does you may want to steer clear. However, there are also people that do not charge people accordingly for their quality of work. If they are spending days on a car, they should be making more than $100 for example. What are your thoughts about the $50 detail? Let us know in the comments!
