The Rag Company Podcast is all about car care, community-building and an unusual look behind the scenes of one of the world’s largest suppliers of premium detailing products. While companies often come across as overly self-important and unapproachable, The Rag Company Podcast trio of Dane Hennen, Levi Gates & Anthony Fisher buck that trend completely with their irreverent humor, extremely supportive community and a unifying goal of never taking oneself *too* seriously. (After all, we’re making cars shiny, not solving world peace)

Dylan von Kleist is a name well-known in detailing circles. He's been a part of several notable detailing supply companies, including Adam's Polishes, Surf City Garage and now Rupes. Dylan has roughly 20 years of experience in the detailing industry and has made countless friends from his work. Being able to grow in the detailing industry and move to a corporate position take time and dedication. But it goes to show, that you don't have to be stuck behind a polisher for the rest of your life. Hands-on experience is something that corporate detailing industries need for just about every position involved. With Dylan working for Rupes USA as a marketing manager, his skills are always needed for Demos and classes. Want to see more Rupes products? Check out their site!

Rupes has just released their new line of microfiber cutting and polishing pads and DETALKS is here to give you the first look! Rupes Marketing Manager Dylan Von Kleist joins Levi Gates to explain the new improvements! For anyone that has used microfiber cutting and polishing pads (especially with a powerful Rupes Bigfoot) then you know that things get HOT. What happens when things get hot? Nothing. Paint correction happens the fastest and safest when the surface is cool. A hot hood isn't going to correct properly and your microfiber pads are going to get gunked up. The NEW Rupes pads have a new manufacturing process with added vents to keep them cool while in use. The pads are now available for you LHR15, LHR21, and LHR75.

Imagine buying a brand new exotic car and wrecking in within hours of leaving the showroom. We've all seen these type of videos on the internet, but it happens more often than you would think! Drake Beaudry of Lupo Motors joins the DETALKS session to discuss the tales of being an exotic dealer. While most stories end on a good note, there are always a few where things didn't go as planned. Getting hit in a brand new Ferrari is one prime example! Unlike a common dealership, when an exotic car or classic car gets damaged or wrecked, the outcome is a pretty big deal. As you can imagine, once a part is damaged on a classic car, it's no longer original to the car (and that's VERY important). Have any crazy stories involving exotic cars? We want to hear about them in the comments! Let us know what you got! Want to see some exotic cars? Check out his awesome inventory HERE.
