👥 Hosted by the unstoppable duo | Andrew St-Pierre & Ercan Hurmuzlu 🎤

✨ SPECIAL GUEST SPOTLIGHT

Welcome back to the Episode 34 of The Suds To Success Podcast

This week we sit down with Nick McGurk from DIY Detail — a name that’s reshaping how pros and enthusiasts approach detailing. From humble beginnings to building a system that “just works,” Nick shares the highs, lows, and the one risk that changed his journey forever.

🚗 FROM GARAGE GRIT TO GLOBAL REACH

Nick started as a detailer grinding long hours, balancing clients with his Hawk Pro Detailing YouTube channel. What began as a passion for sharing tips caught Yvan’s attention, leading to the creation of DIY Detail—a brand that puts professional detailing knowledge into the hands of enthusiasts everywhere.

📹 DISCIPLINE, CONSISTENCY & CONTENT CREATION

Nick emphasizes that success in detailing or content creation comes down to discipline and consistency.

• Posting daily shorts

• Studying analytics

• Listening to feedback (even the harsh stuff)

His formula? " Educate first, Promote second"

That authentic approach is what helped DIY Detail build trust with the detailing community.

🧽 MOBILE vs. SHOP DETAILING

The Episode digs into the differences between shop detailing and mobile detailing:

✧ Nick prefers the control of a shop

✧ Mobile detailing opens the door to referrals & stronger client connections

Foam Cannons vs. Rinseless Washes → sometimes the show matters as much as the results

This balance shows how detailers can adapt depending on customer expectations and business goals.

⚙️ THE POWER OF SYSTEMS

Nick and Yvan built DIY Detail around simple, repeatable systems:

♠ Wash & clay

♠ Polish & coat

♠ Maintain with easy-to-use products

By streamlining processes, detailers can save time, protect paint, and deliver professional results consistently.

🤝 AUTHENTICITY & TEAM DYNAMICS

One of the most real parts of the conversation? Nick opening up about his partnership with Ivan.

Yvan’s direct, No-nonsense Feedback = Tough at First

Nick learned it was always rooted in what’s best for the business

Their contrasting styles balance each other and fuel DIY Detail’s authenticity
