In this powerful and hilarious episode of the RoadFS Podcast, hosts Jody and Rod sit down with detailing pros Rain Albertson and Rasheed Baker to talk about preparing detailing businesses for the winter slowdown—and end up diving deep into ego, collaboration, and community in the detailing industry.
The crew shares laughs and lessons from the field—from sweating through 100° days in Jacksonville to the art of boat and RV winterization. They unpack strategies for staying busy in slow months through marketing, skill diversification, and collaboration.
Rain emphasizes the value of expanding service offerings—wheel coatings, interior details, fiberglass repair—while Rasheed reminds listeners that versatility and networking are survival skills every detailer should master. Together, they highlight how relationships, referrals, and mutual respect keep business steady even when the temperature drops.
The conversation evolves into a deeper reflection on ego versus humility—how learning from others, embracing feedback, and leaving pride at the door leads to innovation, growth, and unity in the industry. From the Angel Wax and Detailers Round Table collaborations to personal stories of mentorship and friendship, the episode captures what makes this community special: people over products, and teamwork over competition.
The group closes by celebrating the next generation of detailers, the power of open-mindedness, and the simple truth that when egos fade, everyone wins.
