Americas Top 10 Detailers?

I don't think you can rate who's the "greatest" or who's greater then who. I'm sure there are many outstanding guys out there like Mike Phillips. But, there are 2 many outside factors like what high end car your working on, what products you use, what tools. It's also more about experience and not enough about pure talent to judge that way imo.
 
For me, the test of whether this is a good idea would to ask yourself, " If the consensus was that you were #11, would you still be all for it?"
 
There is A LOT of OUSTANDING detailers, but there are MANY more GOOD detailers, and MANY MANY more who think they're good.

OUTSTANDING of the top of my head..

Mike Phillips and Kevin Brown
 
High end cars are just a showcase, it all comes down to how the car looked before and after for me. This is why Iove seeing saves on "real" cars. Lots of hammered supercars out there and rightly so because they don't care, it's an attention thing for them but guess what, WE notice it.

Excellent! I totally agree. Things like this should help make you the best detailer in the world, although all these favorable personal characteristics won't even get you to first base if you want to be President.
 
Sizzle nailed it!

I think you have to be skilled in more than one area. IE you could be fantastic at paint correction but when it comes to manners with a client you could be rude or obnoxious. Ive met a few of those guys who think they are so great and they have been doing body work for 30 years yet call some of the most skilled detailers at least in the United States hacks? Concerns me but I also see they are rude and egotistical.
 
I smell a new TV show coming like that Fordged in Fire for blacksmiths. “The Pads and Polish Challenge”.
 
Kinda back to the question...

What is the criteria for those looking at a phone, tablet or computer monitor?

There’s so many social media touch points it’s impossible to partake in and monitor all of them on a regular basis (or any schedule), plus the othe points I made... I don’t think there’s anyway to know.

Some of the more we’ll known names don’t actually detail cars. At least I’ve never seen any write-ups from them documenting what they know and what they can do.

Use to see people share their work, now days not much...

No sharing = no documented history.

Just perception and in my book perception don’t amount to a hill of beans.


:dunno:
 
Wish there was a show too called to catch a detailer where they fix schlubs trying to detail ie the hacks
 
Instead of COPS...it's called HACKS🤣
