We recently sat down with longtime friend, detailing expert and self-proclaimed "Unicorn" ⁠Dylan von Kleist⁠ to revisit some of his lessons learned detailing during the early days of internet forums, swap meets and discovering detail products you couldn't just buy at the auto parts store. Dylan von Kleist⁠⁠ has explored the depths of detailing and the industry that surrounds it since the 90's. Starting with his own operation, which eventually led to the formative years of ⁠@AdamsPolishes, ⁠@SurfCityGarageUSA, @RUPES USA and now @autowashco-- Dylan is thoughtful, well-rounded and full of stories, which is why we knew he HAD to be the first guest to experience our new TRC Podcast show format!
