Jerry Grant was a Master Plumber when he started detailing parttime for some extra Christmas cash. After a few months of booking his nights and weekends, he decided to make the jump to fulltime. With the support of his family and friends Jerry dove headfirst into detailing and learning wherever he could. He attended a Detailing Success 1 day extreme training and saw what the could do for his business. Jerry made the decision to do Renny Doyle's 5 day training and he hasn't looked back since. Jerry would love to get into the social media ambassador role with a detail company, but surprisingly landed one with a clothing company he likes.

Jonathan Michael Monson may seem like he's come out of nowhere, but the truth is he worked hard to grow his business. After a nagging back injury Jonathan had to start scaling his business adding help to get jobs done. With adding help meant he needed more jobs to cover an employee. So, he dove back into his old marketing habits from when he was a GM for a tire chain. Placing the right ads on social media, Jonathan saw new way to market his business. Making "How to" videos and showing what exactly they did in the shop his social media has grown exponentially, and has even added some extra income to the bottom line. Jonathan is a giving person at heart and what he does with that money is give back to the community. For the last few years Jonathan has raised large sums of donations for the local food banks in his town. He even goes so far as to dress up like Santa Claus to help at the food banks. Check out his social media channels to see some of the fun content he is creating. @dirty2dreamyllc on tiktok @dirty2dreamy on instagram dirty2dreamy.com Support this show and follow us on Facebook: @thedetailsolutionspodcast and @thedetailsolutionspodcastdiscussiongroup or on instagram: @detailsolutionspodcast and YouTube: The Detail Solutions Podcast www.aquatekcoatings.com new installers save 20% on their first order www.autobahnwindowfilms.com mention the podcast when inquiring about ppf and window tint. www.autofiber.com use code DSP for 10% off your purchase.

I see a lot of people in the detail industry talking about being "Mentors" or offering their services to mentor new or up and coming detailers. The problem I have with this is what makes them qualified to mentor someone who's starting out or looking for advice? I've had people before ask me to help them and my reply is usually "No" not because I don't want to, but because I'm a trainwreck too. That's why building a mentorship network is important to me. Not only do I surround myself with other detailers but I also seek advice from other business professionals. On this episode I/m joined by Darren Darvill, Angela-Inez Gilham and Brandon Johnson to talk about how they choose their mentors and also how they return the favor and mentor people looking for help.

I've a few ideas for episode topics revolving around ceramic coatings for a while now, so I decided to lump them into one episode. Mike Cardenas co-founder of Aquatek Coatings and Rain Albertson lead trainer with Angelwax helps us through the weird musings of ceramic coatings. I've always been curious about the coating cults and how some detailers will just blindly follow and do whatever a coating company will say. Some detailers will just regurgitate any and all info feed to them without actually knowing the info. Carfax. Why is a coating being listed on Carfax an important thing to some detailers. A few brands have made their coatings available to Carfax and act like that makes it some how a better coating. Shiny new object syndrome. A lot of detailers treat ceramic coating like a shiny new object and the minute a one bursts on the scene, it's out with the old and in with the new. Even if the old coating was fine they seem to not want to be left out on the new "IT" thing. Technology. With technology making coatings easier to use why are some manufacturers still making it difficult with multiple layering, quick flash times and hard to level off? I don't know if we'll answer any of these but hopefully just talking about them will have people thinking.

Jeff Davis was our guest this week and boy did he have story to tell. Jeff told us about growing up poor and bouncing around from hotel to hotel and family member to family member's houses. Eventually his father moved the family to North Carolina, but that's where Jeff found trouble in the form of the streets. At 17 he got involved with the drug trade and while it might not have been the right move, that's where Jeff's entrepreneur mind blossomed. Jeff realized they needed to be more organized and quickly moved up the ranks to a leader. At 20 he made the decision to leave that life and try to become a better person. Jeff moved to Wisconsin and started a career in the music business with a record store. He regularly promoted clubs and rap battles, until one night his old lifestyle caught up to him. See one of his friends gunned down in front of him made him rethink his life choices. He moved back to Virginia Beach with his sister and became saved and started working with foster kids and at risk youth. This is where his entrepreneur mind put him the detailing industry and the rest is history as they say.
