Why I Left The Rag Company

[@theragcompany]

You can now find Levi with our friends at Autowash in Colorado! Check out their channel @autowashco to see what he'll be doing there!

[@adhisanjaya235]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE, ITS VERY VERY USEFUL. THANKS FROM BALI ISLAND 🙏

[@bradgates1495]

I remember your first car wash using a rag, bucket and Dawn dishwashing soap. You were 6 years old and dried the car using Mom's good bath towel. You've come a long way since then! I admit I was worried when you decided not to go to college. But everything always works out perfect, you're a Gates! Thank you to Jeff and Carolyn for their support, kindness and giving you the opportunity to grow. I'm proud of you and looking forward to your next adventure. Love you, Dad

*TRC not RGC

[@hjholmes]

the video did not get me all teary, but this reply did.😢

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

We could probably write a novel of all of our adventures! But long story short, the best years of my life have been spent with this man. Beyond proud, and can’t wait to see what comes next! Time to write a new book with new lore! ❤ Love you man

[@DiamondDetailingBuzz]

Oh damn how did I not know you were a part of the rag company lol I’ve been subscribed to your channel because of your civic lol

[@scottmattern482]

​@@DiamondDetailingBuzz Nobody knows what you're talking about, you must be confused about something 😉

[@VermijlCarDetail]

Dang, gonna miss you! It’s been a pleasure meeting you through The Rag Company! I wish you all the luck in the world as you begin this new chapter, brother!

[@GDavis49]

I’ll admit this was tough to watch. Levi is one of the most genuinely decent human beings I’ve ever met. I’m sad he’s leaving but he deserves all the success he’s certain to experience in the future. Every wonderful personal experience I’ve had with TRC was because of Levi and I wish him and his family all the best as they begin this exciting new chapter. He earned my trust as just a TRC customer but I’m happy and proud to call him my friend.

[@theragcompany]

Beautifully said G thank you!

[@vegeta420z]

Definitely thought to watch i was like man who the hell drones on and on about rags? Ugggh.

[@armourdetailsupply]

Levi, I think it's safe to say you'll be deeply missed around here. You've truly left your mark, and that impact will never fade. Wishing you all the best as you start this exciting new chapter-I have no doubt you'll continue spreading your positivity and making waves wherever you go. It's hard to believe we first crossed paths just months after you joined TRC. What a wild ride it’s been watching everything unfold. Best of luck, and can’t wait to see what comes next for you

[@KelvynGoveo]

Levi, you have created a community and a culture though your videos, that has inspired all of us to push our boundaries and become better at what we do. you made a huge impact in the world of detailing that can never be erased.The best Is yet to come!

[@ChromaticGarage]

I wasn't actually aware of the origin story, i love that. It has been very inspiring watching you guys all build this thing together. Relationships, innovation and success that no one will be able to replicate no matter how much they try (yeah you guys). Best of luck with the future. I would be fine with Bucky replacing you on the podcast.

[@MariaDelgadomom]

I'm so proud of you Levito, you are putting you familia first. So many wonderful comments from people you have helped. Thank you for suggesting I work at TRC during the pandemic, it filled my heart to see you daily. Thank you to all the employees at TRC for being so friendly and respectful. God blessed you with the knowledge on detailing cars. Your dad and I detailed cars for extra $ and you watched and learned at a very young age. I love you, mom💞

[@stevewillloseit7974]

Levi, the last five years or so I can’t thank you enough for. Right before Covid hit. I started playing around with detailing to try for a hobby and get some exercise due to health issues. Watching your very educating videos on TRC brought me joy and hope. While I have had other health issues arise within the last six months, I still can’t thank you enough for all the hours upon hours of entertainment and education. I wish you the most on your future endeavors.

[@HawkProDetailing]

Levi, you’ve made a huge impact on my life-and on the industry. Proud to know you, even if it’s just from afar. Enjoy the journey as you transition to what’s next 🎉

[@danlc95]

Junkman2000 brought me to TRC, you kept me returning, Levi. I've learned SO much from you in the passing years. I'm thankful ans grateful. To me you are the face of TRC. It is the end of an era for me. Best of luck, M.O.S. See you soon.

[@hankg6891]

I was also brought here by the Junkman. He deserves some props. 👍

[@marconunez174]

I live halfway accross the world and you Levi have taught me so much and it truly elevated my business ten fold and I cannot thank you enough. This got me emotional and Im just 1 in a million of the fans out there. As the saying goes “When One Door Closes, Another One Opens” see you soon brother

[@jbalinski]

Wishing you the absolute best my friend. I have learned an endless amount watching you over the years. Thanks for letting us hang out with you every week on the Main Show and Q&A. That outro absolutely killed me 😢

[@edmundiverson6377]

Levi, this completes an era of such sublime joy and enrichment that we have all been so blessed to experience along with you, thanks to your podcasts and videos. I've said it before, and it bears repeating; if it weren't for your early videos with Yvan, and the podcasts with Dane and Anthony, I would not have ventured into the arena of starting my own detailing business! You and the guys have been the brothers I never had, and I shall miss greatly your presence in the upcoming media offerings from TRC; however, I shall also look forward with eager anticipation to find out what new horizons you are endeavoring to conquer! Thanks for the precious memories, my friend, and may God Bless you and your dear family! Respectfully, Ed

[@ltakallen]

Thanks 🙏🏾👍🏾. I appreciated hearing your Story. Good luck to you. Stay true, be fair, play nice. You’ll succeed👍🏾✌🏾

[@erik9108]

The only towels I'll use. Thank you for creating all that you have and I wish you the best of luck in this new chapter of your life!

[@Buckyvw]

I am still trying to come to terms with Levi, no longer being at TRC. He has taught myself and many others, not only how to be amazing detailers, but be an amazing person. I've been listening to the TRC podcast since episode 1 in 2017. The LAD's (Levi, Anthony, Dane) really made the viewer welcome , as if you were in the room with them. Being along for the ride through speakers and a screen, seeing the individual and business growth of the LAD's over seven years is something i'll forever hold dear. Through the progression of Levi's time at TRC, he was incredibly open with sharing so much about his family life, trials and tribulations in business and speaking on the good and the bad in the detailing world. Being fortunante enough to have met him in person, get an infamous Levi hug, rides in Ragnarok and experiencing his candid self is unforgetable. Leaving the treasure valley after a long 900+ years can't be easy, I can only imagine the departure was not an rash decision. You need to do what's best for you and your family. Levi, I wish you and your family nothing but success . TRC will not be the same without you, but I can't wait to see your next chapter. 
 Love you lots buddy

[@jeffc6832]

Well said Alex...and just think about what else has sprung from the culture these guys helped to create out of thin air. I count myself lucky to be along for the ride and to have a productive and fun outlet for some of my spare time.

[@timwojtowicz5924]

Congratulations on your new venture hope to hear from you soon good luck in your new job

[@esoteridactyl]

I haven't really followed ya'll as deeply as some of these other people. I didn't even know there was a podcast. But about a year or two ago, I made the decision to start taking care off my car a lot better than I used to. I was always afraid and intimidated by it tbh because I knew there was lots of stuff to know to properly take care of the paint, etc. Not only have your videos really helped make it easy to understand, but I only buy my supplies from you guys because you have everything I'd ever need and are somewhat local to me. I like supporting a small (not so small anymore) business! Thanks Levi, I'll be buying some microfibers in honor of you this weekend haha. I need some more soap!

[@Spirited282]

I recall some earlier videos and you are the reason i gave the Rag Company a try (and mostly use mostly) Best of luck on your new journey.

[@FineDetailingAZ]

Levi, thank you for sharing so much knowledge and realness over the years. Very sad to see you go, but I'm very excited for you and your new adventure. Best of luck brother.

[@StonerCarCare]

Glad to hear you’ll be staying in the industry. We can’t wait to see what your next adventure holds! Thank you for all your expertise over the years Levi!

[@violetandi]

We will miss you Levi. I will never forget how hospitable you were to my wife and I, along with our baby girl when we came to visit the hq about 5 years ago. My family and I wish you all the best in your new adventure.

[@FuturePrison]

Oh man, this is a lot of emotions. All you guys got me into really loving my car, and Levi your wealth of knowledge is incredible. Good luck with your future endevours, and look forward to hopefully seeing your future creations ♥

[@aaron1984a]

Best of luck on the new chapter Levi!!!

[@NipkowDisk]

I've always enjoyed listening to your detailing tips & tricks! Wishing you the very best in your next chapter! We're gonna miss you, Levi.

[@frankopice3906]

Thank you for all the advice and techniques you have taught us. Good luck and can't wait to see you again.

[@OGDetailer]

Amazing video my man, I personally wish you all the best, continued blessings my good brother, thank you for all you have done and continue to do for this industry.

[@PA_3]

I'm not crying! You're crying! That was beautiful honestly. You guys have come so very far - and without a doubt have created a beautiful thing. What I've always loved about The Rag Company is it genuinely feels like a family - like what you said a bunch of goofy normal people doing something special that they love. It clearly is special. That you all have created this thing where you educate people about the wonders of towels - like literally towels - and it's truly interesting and special, is amazing. There are no other microfiber towels in my house or garage and it's not because they're trendy or some brand ambassador says I have to use them. It's because even at your size it is like I'm buying from family. And on top of that it's family creating the BEST product in it's class in multiple forms, and still keeping prices incredibly reasonable. But it's the soul represented so fully in this video that truly describes this company. You will surely be missed.

[@DetailEnthusiast007]

Thank you, I’ve learned so much from you and I wish you all the best in your next adventure.

[@adhisanjaya235]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE, ITS VERY VERY USEFUL. THANKS FROM BALI ISLAND 🙏

[@wildrides4354]

Gonna miss you buddy! Best of luck in the new endeavor, you're an OG and one of the best!

[@DavidRuiz-nb9fh]

Levi, wishing you all the best and much success on your next adventure.

[@giovannimarquez4486]

Damn Levi was awesome and the whole team is not just a team but a family. I can only imagine how the Rag Company family is feeling. Wishing u all the best success for your next chapter Levi.

[@thelastdetail5044]

Dang, end of an era!! Good luck Levi

[@briancal77]

This is such sad news. But good luck on your next journey and hope you continue having success. You have left the company in a wonderful position. We will continue supporting The Rag Company. Thank you to Dane, Anthony, and yourself for all the good times and getting me through the bad times through your videos.

[@ZieXimeme]

It's heartwarming when Levi, THE Master of a big and shiny heart, is talking about 3 amigos and the last 30 seconds DAMN ❤! Wish you all the best on your new journey 🤞

[@PerfectDetailUSA]

Best of luck with all the new adventures Levi, thanks for everything! It was a pleasure meeting / learning from you over the years. Much love always! ✌️

[@paulrhodes482]

Man I got choked up watching this! We will miss you sonmuch Levi. You have inspired me more than you will ever know. I was in a car accident several years ago and was wheelchair bound not knowing if I would ever walk again much less detail. Your videos helped get me through the tougheat time in my life not able to detail but able to watch you. I now detail again it hasnt been easy getting back with a forever disability. Thank you for inspiring me and for helping make a difference in my life. I will follow you whereever you go I am a fan forever and hope one day I can thank you in person. I wish you all the best in the future buddy I appreciate you so much.

[@b8addict]

Thanks for all the laughs, insight, and just being a good all around guy Levi. While I may have been MIA for quite some time due to life, I still pop by to check how things are here at TRC. You’re going to do great in your new role. You’ll be missed.

[@GDavis49]

👍

[@johnfontaine1257]

Keep chasing your dreams! It was great watching you and look forward to seeing you again 😊

[@shineobsessed4221]

Levi's glowing words about the company ring true in the fact that they allowed he and the crew to do a farewell video, I'm sure many of us have left a job/company/corp that would rather get you out the door and find your replacement faster than you could pack your things. They gave you the runway to address the community and some closure, so to speak, to this chapter of your career. Therapeutic for you to some degree and information for the fans Thanks for the memories Levi and TRC!!!

[@PristineAutoLab]

You will always be an icon for the auto detailing industry regardless of where you go or what you do! Wishing you the best of luck in your new endeavors. Please keep us posted!

[@jayfoster4146]

I’ve always wanted road trip out to Boise Idaho to visit TRC and meet the fellas. I’m sad I missed the opportunity to meet you Levi, but congrats on your new adventure. Your passion for detailing is the reason I own too many microfibers and other detailing products. Thank you.

[@mattheviewer]

I learned a lot from, and got great products from, you and The Rag Company. You folks were gracious answering questions I posted on your live shows. Best wishes, Levi and I hope to see your future posts from you, your new coworkers and joined company!

[@Gallitos99]

I just wanted to express my gratitude for all the amazing things you create and illustrate in your videos. Thanks to you, I discovered the Rag Company and ended up buying a few different types of rags that work perfectly for my needs. I really appreciate your humble and thoughtful video. May God bless you! Darwin Pérez from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@dannyi9734]

You will be missed, I learned so much through the years. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion with us.

[@DetailsMatterMobileDetailing]

You have impacted so many lives, more than you can imagine. Can’t wait to see what you will be doing next. Wish you all the best!!!!

[@atpgarageatl]

Best of luck on your future endeavors Levi! I Appreciate all the helpful and entertaining content you provided over the years. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do in the future!

[@detailersroadmap]

Hopefully this comment board you can look back on, years and years later to always remind yourself of how great of a person you are and touched many people's and businesses lives. Maybe in future we will get better at saying that and writing it down or often. It's always been a pleasure talking with you and super excited for your next chapter! Super happy for you and what a great send-off from the rag company as well 🎉

[@tugbankert6581]

I started following T Rag Company during the Junkman 2000 days, lol. I miss those Detalks. I don't really watch or follow any detailing companies or Guru's anymore, but i enjoyed those early days.

[@mikereyes1769]

So many mixed emotions as i watched this. First off Congratulations and i wish you nothing but the best on your new endeavor! I have been following your videos and catching the live streams for over 5 years now and you and the team truly make things easy to learn while keeping it fun. Gonna miss all the inside jokes and hilarious moments from the three of you on q&a. I am excited for you and i am looking forward to following you along your next journey.

[@RADGarage]

The comments people have left here are testament to the respect and relationships you have built in your time at TRC. It reminds me of a quote "“Success is not how high you have climbed, but how you make a positive difference to the world.” ― Roy T.

[@Pop_master778]

Good luck on your new journey. Thank you for your dedication to the industry. Your one of the first I started to watch that made me get into detailing

[@Sheldon_Classen]

😭😭 when I found TRC back in 2019 Levi was the reason I kept coming back such a nice guy made you feel like family even though I never met him. Q&A s won’t be the same without him. We are gonna miss you , but Gods speed in your next adventure. 👊🏼👊🏼

[@millerdetailing4176]

This hit hard, wish you and your family the absolute best in your endeavors Levi. I’ve enjoyed watching you guys for years and you will absolutely be missed. Thank you for all the great videos and we will all see you for sure in your next journey.

[@ChingyBlingy]

Wow, what an awesome video. I appreciate Levi sharing his collection of personal experiences and core memories. Wish him nothing but success in his future endeavors and hope he shares more with us on the flip side!

[@indelibledotink]

There is so much heart here; Anthony is right, you have the potential of a killer book. This played my emotions like a beautiful solo in the middle of a wonderful symphony. Got choked up for a sec, got some laughs too.

[@thomasjfarver2101]

Great video Levi, best of luck on your new journey!! TRC won’t be the same, it’s crazy to think.

[@72mstoney]

Congratulations Levi, and best of luck with your future endeavors, definitely going to miss you! I wish you and The Rag Company and your next company the best!

[@brad_owen]

Just cleared the lump in my throat lol watched many a video while detailing in my garage all the way over here in Australia, all the best mate.

[@randals4006]

I have watched probably every q&a Thursday for 3 years since I found TRC. We never met, but I feel like I knew you. Congratulations on your new chapter. Hopefully, there is a plan try to fill the void. Truly classy that they let Levi say goodbye and what a great story it was. Good luck!

[@AdamosGarage]

Thank you for taking us on your journey. Wishing you nothing but success in your next adventure!! God Speed Levi…🤘🏼👊🏼

[@tomchinigo5014]

This is sad news but I am truly happy for you and your new venture. It was a pleasure meeting you in NJ and appreciate all the sound advice over the years. All the best my friend and may God Bless you and your family.

[@xmichellemaryx]

Levi, you and the Rag Company have made such an impact on me! Being a grambassador years ago and getting to know y’all, was so memorable. As a company, such all around excellence. As people, even more stellar. I know this video was probably really hard, so thank you for sharing. Can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@sadie63]

Good luck in you new venture Levi, thanks for all the help.

[@pvolkspvolks]

From Rags to Real Life. Admittedly I occasionally watch vids from The Rag Company but almost always , like many other channels on KZbin I get distracted and cut the video short. This particular video was comparable to water and air, the need to watch Levi expose his wonderful and very human essence was something we can all sure use more of. Be well on your life's quest Levi. Hallelujah.

[@chiapet101]

All the best wishes to you and your family, Levi. Because of you, I bought a bundle of products as well as a multi foam pro 12. I followed your video on how to wash a car using rinseless washing and it's just a golden video. Thank you and thanks to the rag company for providing such amazing products.

[@JWL-UK]

The first time I wish the thumbnail was click bait 😥. Levi taught me so much about microfibre towels that I don't let any other brand touch my cars. And he got me into rinseless wash which I've been doing for years now. The TRC podcast was incredibly helpful during the pandemic and I truly enjoyed following TRC here since 2017. Massive thank you to you and the crew. God bless you in your future endeavours and keep growing, TRC! 🇬🇧

[@gizmosfere]

Congrats on the new opportunity, whatever it may be. I know it must be a great one if you're leaving TRC. Wherever you are going the company is lucky to have you there. You will be greatly missed on the TRC content. I'm just a DIY guy that details my own vehicles in my garage. You have influenced, trained, informed and, educated me on this craft. Thanks for everything you have given us over the years. As sad as it is I'm glad you've gotten an opportunity you most definitely deserve. Best wishes Levi

[@GoingMoble]

Levi, wishing you the best in your new endeavor! I've learned a lot from your videos over the years, from micofibers to rinseless washing. That will always be much appreciated. I too will not let anything but TRC products touch my cars.

[@millyharbinger8897]

Thank you Levi for the inspiration and knowledge you have given us over the time you been with the TRC & it was a pleasure to meet you at MTE in orlando Florida. It’s unfortunate that you left us but I hope your next chapter at your next job will be a great opportunity for you

[@bryancook4553]

Thanks for all the info and entertainment of the years. You helped so many of us newbies to detailing make washing cars FUN! All the best to you!!.

[@trapcracker]

Gonna miss you here, Levi is synonymous with TRC. I know you will be great at whatever your new venture is. Best of luck my friend!

[@siqdetailworx]

I got into detailing a few years ago, I only reached out to Levi once because I was genuinely stuck with something that wasn’t already shared in a TRC video. I was surprised with how quick he answered me even though I’m sure he would get hundreds of emails daily. I listen to the podcast weekly and will definitely miss hearing the stories Levi has to share. Wishing nothing but the best to Levi and his family, and may this new chapter in life be full of blessings.

[@blacklisted_autodetailingc133]

This was hard to watch , starting as a mobile detailer 4 years ago he was what brought me to rag company and its products and I love them so LEVI bro what an amazing job you and your team did . I wish you the best and can’t wait to see more of you . Still sticking to rag company too amazing work guys

[@somedudewithakeyboard]

Thank you for the story and the company you’ve helped to build. I know how hard and outright scary it is to leave your friends and step into the unknown. But the decision is made and future is promising. Good luck on the new journey.

[@ShelbinIdaho]

Levi! You will be greatly missed. It was an honor to learn from you over the years and I appreciate all you've done. Salutations and good luck on your next endeavor.

[@ExoShield]

The outro broke me 😢 proud to have met you during your time at TRC Levi! You’re a real one and we cannot wait to see where you’re headed next 🤘

[@Gary_Rigs]

Ugh. I am so happy for your next adventure. It must be a great opportunity that’s good for you and your family. That being said, you are going to leave a huge void. I mean that as a huge compliment because you did such a phenomenal job teaching, communicating and giving us the honor of letting us in your life. Be well MOS Rigs

[@cwp_sti2080]

This hurts. Honestly. I’m so glad I was able to meet you guys last year when you came to NY for an event. You were so kind and spoke to kindly to me! But sometimes life goes on and it’s time to move on! Wish you nothing but the best.

[@mootyarts]

thanks for sharing, hope the best for both you and The Rag Company

[@Novacane910]

I appreciate everything you've done for us and the industry. I absolutely loved the cheap car challenge! That was one of my favorite series. Good luck on your future endeavor, and I'm sure we'll all still get to see you!

[@ryeguy88]

LEVI!!!! I will miss getting your responses in the Q&A's. You're a wealth of knowledge my friend (as I'm sure you know).
