The Complete Story of Jimbo’s Detailing – How the Brand Was Built
Ever wondered how Jimbo’s Detailing started? Here’s the complete story — in my own words — of how this brand was built from scratch and why we do things differently.
Where It All Began
I didn’t start as a car care product company — I started as a mobile detailer.
Years ago, I was running Jimbo’s Auto Detailing — a small mobile detailing business in Southern California. I built my reputation detailing cars for everyday drivers, high-end clients, and even a few local celebrities.
During those years, I learned first-hand what works and what doesn’t. I tested hundreds of products. I saw how many detailing brands were more about marketing hype than results. And I experienced how frustrating it was to find products that actually performed in real-world conditions.
The Shift Toward Education
Along the way, I launched the Auto Detailing Podcast — the first podcast in the world dedicated to professional detailing.
The podcast quickly grew. I interviewed top detailers, chemists, and industry leaders. Through those conversations, one thing became clear:
There was a huge gap in the market for products built by detailers, for detailers — with real-world testing and no gimmicks.
Building Jimbo’s Detailing Product Line
After years of testing and refining, I partnered with an experienced chemist to develop my first product: The Super Soaper.
It wasn’t about creating a flashy bottle or hyped marketing — it was about creating the best possible product for foam washing, period.
Since then, we’ve built a complete line of products:
- The Super Soaper
- Pure Magic Cleaner
- Complete Cabin Cleaner
- Tough As Shell
- Picture Perfect Polish
- ... and a full range of towels, applicators, and accessories.
Our Mission Today
Today, Jimbo’s Detailing is a trusted car care brand used by both professional detailers and enthusiasts around the world.
Our mission is simple:
- ✅ Build products that perform in the real world
- ✅ Cut through the marketing hype
- ✅ Provide clear education and simple systems that anyone can use
- ✅ Stay transparent about our products and our process
We don’t believe in fancy marketing claims. We believe in building trust by delivering products that work — consistently.
Where We’re Headed
Jimbo’s Detailing is still 100% independently owned. I personally oversee product development, testing, and content.
We’re continuing to grow — not through ads or gimmicks, but through real results and word of mouth. Our goal is to become the most trusted independent detailing brand in the world.
