Most Expensive Tool?

Aside from our trailer, our most expensive tool is the Chief Steamer 100! This thing totaled out at $1400. We use it to super clean cracks and crevices, panels, carpets, seats, etc It's worth every penny and it still works perfectly to this day! 

Longest Detail, 1 Car?

Our longest detail was a 3 stage paint correction and ceramic coating on a black 2010 Camaro SS that took

3-1/2  days. It turned out amazing and the customer was blown away!

Craziest Item Found?

The craziest item we have found in a vehicle was under the seat. It was a 14k gold ring with large diamonds embedded in it. We showed the customer, he said oh idk who's ring that is, you can have it! I still have that ring today!

Highest Paid Skill?

Our highest paid skill is easily paint correction. With so many different buffers, pads, compounds, vehicle paints, vehicle conditions, and different vehicle shapes and sizes, no vehicle is the same. Becoming a professional paint correction specialist hasn't happened overnight. It comes over time and with experience.

Why Detailing?

"Tommy" I chose detailing because for me it just feels natural. Not just the detailing side of things but the actual building/growing of this business. After researching detailing businesses in my area I realized there is a wide-open market for professional high-quality detailing, paint correction, and ceramic coatings. I'm not just building a business, I'm building a brand and a lifestyle.

 

I'm also actively growing my skills in web design & development, photography, branding, marketing, business management, customer relations, customer service, and so much more. Some would call it hard work but I enjoy it so it hardly feels like work. Although I do work hard ; ) I enjoy being in control of every move NitPickin makes.

 

The bottom line is I chose Detailing because everything I know how to do ties itself up around the idea of owning and growing a professional auto detailing business. Plus I like detailing! 

Are you friendly with other detailers?

We are most certainly friendly with other detailers. We don't consider other detailing businesses in our area as competitors more than we consider them as our colleagues. We have no problem sharing information, ideas, strategies, tips, or anything else. Whatever it may be, our main goal is to play our part in helping to build a thriving professional detailing industry. Detailers are welcome to contact us for any reason!

Yes we do! We attend at least one car show a month and are open to participate in other events as well. 

Tommy's favorite thing to do in Detailing?

By far, Paint Correction & Ceramic Coatings. There is nothing more satisfying than making a vehicle's paint gleam like never before while knowing it will be protected for many years with the best vehicle paint protection in the Polk City and surrounding areas!
