The Pro Detailer Podcast

Bert and Ian have a bit of news and a catch up in the usual 10 minute short interim podcast that lasts 30 minutes. Theres of a update on the magazine this year, talk about a new book, and discuss what goes on in Ian's shed... We even beeped some expletives about British Airways. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Issue 18 will be relased from the printers shortly, so Bert and Ian take a look back at what's gone into this edition, talking about news, new products, the guides section, interviews, megatest, trader talk, and everything in between. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

With Issue 17 at the printers, we once again hit that interlull timeframe with space to fill before the magazine is returned to us ready to send out. As usual, we've filled part of that time with a bumper special edition podcast for a look under the skirts of what went into making Issue 17 of Pro Detailer Magazine. This includes; impromptu 4am photography sessions on bridges over a motorway, hanging around docks watching men work, building test rigs with zero engineering ability, and being escorted from airport departure lounges by armed police. Listen. Enjoy. Buy the magazine. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

For the final episode of Season 5 we sit down with a bit of a godfather in the UK detailing scene - or maybe that uncle that buys you cherry bombs from the French supermarket. Prepare to be captivated by the remarkable journey of Dom Colbeck, an extraordinary figure in the UK detailing industry. He isn't just known, he's an integral cog, a driving force that has shaped the market and inspired countless other entrants. From launching a kitchen brand as a swipe at the mainstream, which ended up steering the current crop of indie manufacturers, he then went on to develop the OG Detailing show - Waxstock - before co-reviving a brand back from nothing to become one of the best and most sought after scene-detailing labels in the world. We chat through his history, present and future, and how he came into running the original enthusiast brand. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

This week we're running a slightly shorter than normal podcast, but fascinating stuff is packed within. We're joined by Kai Seidel who we met on our tour of (a bit of) Germany earlier this year, and he helps us explore the fascinating world of Menzerna, and dive deep into the creation and refinement of the abrasives used in the blending. Chemistry star Kai is the Lab Manager at the German polishing giant whose job it is to manage, test, and evaluate the abrasives used in everything from 400 to 3-in-1. We talk about the evolution of compounds, Menzerna themselves, and how abrasives are created and refined down to the ingredients of a polish in the first place from raw materials. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
