Guy Pratola - The Detail Guy!
I have always been crazy about cars. From before I could even drive, I was simply obsessed over the beauty of an automobile. The lines, the freedom, the horsepower, the SOUND!! Add to that a spectacular shine and it just doesn’t get any better for me.
When I first started detailing for others, it was a side hustle to make some extra $$ doing something that I knew I enjoyed immensely. Soon after, I started seeking out those who were at the top of the game in this industry. Then I began slowly acquiring the appropriate tools to get the best results. Once I had a van full of detailing tools, many trainings and a handful of regular customers, I started to question why I was working for someone else as my full time gig. At that point, it just made sense to make this business my full time job (which doesn’t even feel like work because I enjoy it so much) and start working for myself.
Below you will find several people and products that helped turn me into the passionate detailer I am today. If you want to learn more about the industry from people you can trust with extensive training and on-the-job skillset, you may want to follow some of those mentioned below. The products listed below are some of which I have had great success and results when using to get the best detail possible.
