Nick From DIY Detail & Nick at Night Tells ALL....

[@IamDetailedAF]

Nick at Night!!!! Good to see people having a good time.

[@jbalinski]

What a nice surprise! Only halfway through but this is an excellent episode. Nick is a really good human.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

💯

[@middlegaautomotivedetailin1350]

Best podcast ive seen in a LONG TIME

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Thank you. Means a lot.

[@jeffc6832]

Nick is awesome, never knew he was a Minnesotan until recently. I live just a couple cities over from where he grew up. Can't wait for part 2. I'd love to see more interviews like this going forward too, maybe get Matt Moreman on, or Levi Gates to talk about his new gig.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Great ideas! More to come for sure.

[@debtennis1301]

Nick is awesome! One of the best - we know he knows the answer (since he is a fantastic detailer), but he still asks it so we who don't know can hear it!

[@dfd4688]

You two have been on quite a journey… it’s great to see persistence paying off… thanks for sharing 🙏🏾 Cheers 🎉

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Thanks for the support, appreciate it!

[@frankd3460]

Def enjoyed this one. Down to earth unlike some others out there.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Thank you!

[@BorndetailersTv]

Nick is a a true professional.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

all those years in TV have paid off for him.

[@TimothyJohnsonBey]

Accurate

[@KingDreFTW]

Great podcast .. I was in the same boat as Nick with having a family and trying to start a detailing career/business.. Its very frustrating cause i was learning so much, ordering new products, not wanting to turn down any detailing jobs but then having to make time for the family.. Like he said detailing is very labor intensive .. But I guess since me and wife been together so long we had no choice but to figure it out.. I love the DIY Detail brand because its very informative and Jimbo keep doing ya thing...

[@kevkav5680]

Brilliant listen , great to hear real honesty in the detailing world , Pam the advertiser, and his puppets Eddie colon and Jamie the cleaner should watch and learn!

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Thanks for listening!

[@melansonstevenandrew]

Amazing podcast! Absolutely loved how raw and honest it was.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ds-il7ik]

LOVE this, putting the podcast back in ADP! Thank you.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Let’s go!!!

[@Bryans_Garage]

This was a good listen. Will definitely listen to part 2

[@autodetailingpodcast]

It might be a few months but we will def do it again!

[@danlc95]

Great presentation! I have one question. Where does ine procure bulk foam bales for the purposes of makinf pads?

[@contemplativerooster]

Great podcast, Nick is an awesome dude. I haven't been able to find it now, but Yvan mention several times that he was approached by a company/investors that wanted to create a new detailing product line and have him as a consultant and face of the brand. Somehwere along the way I think some sort of ownership stake was offered too. Clean. by Pan, THOR, Detail Co seem like a similar setup. Instead of building a brand and trying to get KZbinrs to showcase it and companies like Rag Co and others to carry it...build brands with KZbin detailers as the "owners" and then bring on other brands to generate buzz, diversify the business and separate themselves from the established detail suppliers who are more discerning about what they carry. thats not to say that DIY, Pan and Detail co all have the same white labeled stuff, they are very different products and I believe they all had their own individual input on the chemicals, but i think there is a backend investor/business and blender connection. back when THOR launched, the promotional emails had the same Omaha address as DIY Detail for christ's sake! Just own it and tell the full story instead of making it seem like the two circle jerks (Jamie and Eddie) are spending their life savings and maxing out their credit cards to buy towels and build a business. Eddie has been whoring himself out to get to 8K subscribers and buying views/engagement by giving a bunch of stuff away on livestreams to become the Mr Beast of detailing...there's no way he started this whole thing in the way they have been portraying it. they are employees trying to provide for their families and there is nothing wrong with that. just own it and stop with the facade,

[@BXGreen_DrivewayDetails]

They ve never hide the fact there s an investor. Of course there’s a money man backing them.

[@contemplativerooster]

​@@BXGreen_DrivewayDetailsonly after they got called out on it. The initial launch videos and livestream remarks from Eddie made it seem otherwise. They're still just employees (not sole proprietors), just like Yvan and Nick are. Nothing wrong with that, just facts.

[@jeffc6832]

LOL I just got shipping update emails from both companies about holiday shipping delays, within 9 minutes of each other. Must be a coincidence.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

I think this is the best summary of it. Nick and Yvan have been fairly open about it, but Eddie and Jamie def tried to act like this wasnt the case which is weird.

[@danlc95]

I remember hearing that too. It it also true that B&B bought Adam's, and owns DIY? That's the rumbling I've heard. Not sure if there is any truth to it though. The shop I do side work for had their own lime made by B&B. Should be ready to launch soon, but I have to wonder how much saturation the market can bear.

[@Trdobbins]

Enjoyed listening and getting to know yall better! Thank you!

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@TimothyJohnsonBey]

I like people who know what they are talking about and talk about it knowing that they are talking about what they know they are talking about.m to an audience who just wants to listen to someone who knows what they are talking about. Lol. Facts

[@arov235]

Great podcast! Sounds like Yvan and Nick are the faces of DIY but someone else is behind the scenes funding it. Good deal!

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Yup - can definitely be a good deal.

[@TheMobileDetailShop1296]

Bet I can guess who is funding it and the rest of them . I think it is someone that builds business and just keeps building and building until failure because he spends all his time building and not managing them.

[@gtileo]

Yvan has talked about this before, i remember him mentioning it in the video he did on Pans channel talking about the DIY Detail Line up of products. don't think its any different with Clean by Scam or with THOR and Detail Co. someone else is funding them they're just the faces advertising the company. i mentioned this on Pan's brand unveiling and he jumped down my throat about it. i wouldn't be surprised if THOR was forced to be Pan's exclusive dealer, Jamie and Eddie being small useless channels they wouldn't have really had much traction if it wasn't for Pan's recognition

[@autodetailingpodcast]

I think you’re onto something here. I wonder why that pisses pan off so bad?

[@gtileo]

@@autodetailingpodcast probably because of all the naysayers. I didn't respect the cooperation for doing this, but after that and the way Pan has gone around talking about his products. I quickly lost respect for him all together.

[@justcleandetails7189]

Great content, I met both of you guys at Sema 23,Jimbo at the Vonixx booth with Toni Ralda and Nick me you Toni and Andy went out to eat one night before you had to leave.Yall gave me some great ideas.What would it take to get you guys as a guest on a podcast I’m currently starting?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

just send me a message - jimbo @ jimbosdetailing.com

[@NickM1013]

Very entertaining. Two of the good ones in the industry.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Thank you!!

[@DETAILSofficial]

Great podcast guys!

[@slickautostyling]

That intro! im totally sticking through this

[@autodetailingpodcast]

It’s worth it. Nick has a great story.

[@BrillianceAutoSpa]

You guys are talking about Pan. His channel has fallen off. His personality is a bit stale, and his content doesn't quite have the same spark to it. It's almost like that 1 million subs got to his head, and he doesn't have the same hunger to grind out content anymore.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Ya I agree with this. It’s been a long time coming though, most people have either seen through it or been on the backside of things and seen his true colors.

[@gtileo]

@@autodetailingpodcast i found this out a few years ago when asking a few questions regarding detailing. he just rubbed me the wrong way with his responses. i realised he really doesn't know much about the actual industry besides the information that has been fed by the corporations, theres no outside the box knowledge. when i found DIY Detail they really impressed me Yvan's knowledge of tools and products is really just amazing

[@mikeeonfiya]

I remember hearing your podcast with Scott Bley (sp?) and I enjoyed hearing how you built rapport and got a great story with your guest. For Nick...my days, I can relate. Pop 1/2 a addy, work all night and morning from 10:45 PM until 11:00 AM. Nobody sees you. No interaction. Drink Ghost Energy and sugar-free Rockstar throughout. Vape inbetween. I'm sure Nick never took a break either. No labor laws to abide by. Glad I quit. Kratom is a better natural alternative for focus and energy. Highly recommend.

[@slvrbackslife7122]

is there a link to Nick's podcast?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

here is the first one he did - kzbin.info/www/bejne/opyaY3VpdqeEi8ksi=ztgyXNoSrw7sbq1F

excellen podcast. really enjoyed listening to you both.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Thank you!

[@stephenlouden480]

pretty crazy that I used to clean huge buildings with carpets . hooking up giant extractor and a mile of pressure hose and using different carpet wands and brushes.. and now I'm detailing cars . maybe anyone who worked on carpets are just great auto detailers naturally 😅

[@Equihua77]

Like the videos! I did have a question though. Would I be able to use the DIY clay (decontamination) towel with tough as shell as a one step decon/protection?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Yes you can definitely do that.

[@theBtotheJ23]

Is Nick's new podcast on the DIY channel?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

oddly enough its not on the DIY channel.

[@mikezupancic2182]

Fantastic podcast, but I really had to laugh when he said that they aren't focused on marketing and sales, as they work in front of a huge company banner, wearing company colors and branded shirts, and only use company products, while mentioning the product names every 30 seconds. 😂😂😂 oh and 100% truth on the shiny tires.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

i love me shiny tires.

[@dcurry8147]

What exactly is a white label company? It seems to be a Hot Topic

[@autodetailingpodcast]

A private label company makes products that other businesses can sell under their own brand name. For car detailing products, this means the private label company creates items like car wash soaps, waxes, or cleaners, but they don’t sell them with their own name on the bottle. Instead, they let other companies put their brand name and logo on the products. For example, if you wanted to start selling car wash soap with your own logo on it, you could work with a private label company. They would make the soap for you, and you’d just design the label to make it look like your own product. It’s like having a secret helper who makes products for your business

[@dcurry8147]

@@autodetailingpodcast Thanks

[@gtileo]

did i miss something, did Jimbo make comments about The House of Rags owners in the past? lol mannnn i love drama, fill me in on the cream

[@professorlacy2247]

Did not miss anything. The conversation in the comments progressed naturally to THOR. Nick is associated with DIY, which might be in the same holding company as THOR, Detail Co and CLEAN.

[@gtileo]

@professorlacy2247 that i assumed, what i meant was Nick made a comment about being friends with someone and defending Jimbo to them and saying he's a good guy

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Eddie and Jamie started a hit job on my product brand right after I launched. This was after I did 2 podcast episodes with them and we had really good conversations. They took a some unfair shots at my brand when it was at an early stage for no apparent reason (at the time, now it makes more sense with their THOR brand). I called them out on their lies and they basically gas lit me. That’s the quick story at least. So in this podcast Nick is explaining that he was defending me to them because he was/is good friends with Eddie.

[@gtileo]

@@autodetailingpodcast doesn't really surprise me, they both have big mouths. I really don't know how they even started this endeavor. My personal opinion is they're the wrong face for a brand/ distribution company

[@contemplativerooster]

​@@gtileoyeah I think their market growth could be limited with those two as the face of the company, Eddie especially. He's entertaining to a point, but he got obnoxious with the videos he filmed with Pan in his garage. Pure cringe. Loose lips are going to sink that ship pretty quick I think, he's all over the place and is walking ADHD. They are launching products and brands so fast that they can't properly serve them and their customers. Their warehouse packing/shipping is a disaster too. Sloppy as Eddie's underwear after hot wings on a 100 degree day.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

First!!!!!

[@middlegaautomotivedetailin1350]

PAN IS 🗑. JIMBOS AND DIY IS 🔥

[@jeffc6832]

The Pan products I've tried (the rinseless and the spray polish) are actually very good and have very unique formulations compared to other brands. The tire dressing isn't for me (I don't like solvent dressings), I don't use strong sealants any more, and pH neutral soaps are pretty boring to me. I may try one of his coatings some day, depending on how they do out in the real world, but I'm interested to see what else he comes out with.

[@BorndetailersTv]
