What an odd thread--with out of date info. David Bynon divested himself of his Autopia Car Care interest a year or more ago, as Aaron Krause did from Dedication to Detail.
 
Take it for what it's worth - It's more or less some people behind the company names :nixweiss



I also thought Aaron Krause was still involved with EDGE even though it was purchased by 3M?

As I understand it 3M purchased Dedication to Detail and the Edge trademark. Aaron's new company is Innovative Accessory Products, where he produces those former Edge products that 3M didn't purchase, as well as anything new he might come up with. There is also some continuing relationship with 3M which may be temporary.
 
Werkstat is not Jeff's last name, it is a german word that translates to garage or studio. Jeff's last name is Brandt. For the longest time I assumed his last name was Werkstat also.
 
I've personally had conversations with Ron Ketcham, Mike Phillips, Mike Pennington and Dave Ghodoussi, plus via e-mail with Aaron Krause and Jeff Brandt. All of them are excellent representatives of the detailing industry. :)
 
I'm kind of miffed how the people from Clearkote, Four Star and CMA escaped this rogue's gallery. Or Excel...or many others. What did it take to be selected by the Academy for this honor?



Setec...why are you getting miffed?? If you want to add a name do the list do it. I don't think it was David's intention to post the "only' names in detailing.

Please add accordingly….

If you want to add people you feel are inspirational then have at it.
 
It would be great for people to post as many company names with people who represent them. That's why I wrote "please add accordingly"

I'd say Everett Glass of Clearkote and Brian from Excel deserve to be mentioned. Raney from Pakshak too.

I think Steve from Poorboy's should get added. i attended his detailing weekend and he really taught me some great stuff. His products worked for me.
 
I nominate José Fernandez of Superior Shine, a detailer with over 20 years in business, a passion for perfection, a simplicity and willingness to share. and a business man who has evolved and even pushed the envelope with his business, and the industry.
