Interview with Nick McGurk of @HawkProDetailing

[AMP]

Yvan, we love you man, please make as many videos as humanly possibly without burning yourself out. You're a gem to this community and seem so genuine. Much love.

Thanks Nick and Yvan for the conversation. It was enlightening. Nick thanks for your transparency and hope you do well on your next journey. Remember to always be a good if not great Dad.

Great interview! Looking forward to the future of the Hawk Pro Detailing Channel!

I’m a new business owner (less than a year), with a significant other working towards marriage. These talks are blunt, yet helpful to the reality of getting caught up into your own world. I’m thankful to be able to learn from others so that I can move in ways to avoid such tragedies.
Yvan, you and your wife are a golden example of making your life your life and your business your business and i applaud that. Really setting an expectation for us men who spend a few too many hours outside while our significant others are on the inside waiting away for us.

Thank you both for candid, open conversation.

What an enjoyable interview to watch and listen to and keep up the good work everyone. Most of us have all struggled with work life balance and I am still trying to figure it out too. I’m looking forward to watching more educational videos and learning something everyday. Keep teaching about carpet cleaning because there are a lot of differences out there no one is talking about. Is the yarn nylon 6, nylon 6, 6, or polyester? They all act differently to oil and water based stains but YouTube treats them all the same by applying apc cleaner where the backing gets wet.
Thank you for the video.

Great interview. You two have a great chemistry and it shows. Appreciate the work that went into this from you both.

Great interview guys! Nick, thanks for sharing about the divorce. Got that t-shirt 15 years ago. Still have the scars but without that experience I would not have the amazing relationship that I have now. It gets better. Hang in there man!

[madwax]

Yvan and the Hawk! It doesn't get any better than this!

[JimmyMusignac]

Nick is really good Yvan, excellent business partner you got.

[weaverdetails]

Great interview! Too short though. Should have been 2 hours minimum. I started following nick for his knowledge of carpet cleaning like he said. I’m a big fan of both of you guys.

I'm pretty sure Nick is a local Weatherman :)

Hey Yvan, can you use diluted ONR Wash and Shine from a spray bottle as a drying aid on a traditional wash? I don't need it to add protection; I just want it for the aid in drying the vehicle and want to save money over buying a dedicated drying aid with wax/sealants that I don't need every time I wash. Thanks! (By the way, I do rinseless washes sometimes, but I just have more fun with a soap-based wash).

[kevincampbell]

The reality sometimes is that we get so involved in things we like for example detailing. And we want to be able to provide for our family. But we dedicate too much time on one side if it. Divorce sucks. Thankfully my wife knows I get distracted and super focused on things. She has put up with me for over three decades.

Nick, love your videos but those kids come first. We can’t have an off balance life and our kids help us to know that! Cheers! 🙏👊👍🏻✌🏼

[Bernhardtautodetailing]

Hi Yvan, Im curious when choosing a name for my detailing business, is it ideal to use my own name? For example “Bernhardt Auto Detailing” or is it best to choose a different kind of name? Thank you!

[Ichabod_Jericho]

Damn, divorce sucks. Sorry you had to to go through it man. Remember; it’s just a phase. Just another season of life and in 3 years you’ll look back and wonder why you ever worried.

Burning paint. Yikes. The worst sensation possible haha. Tough to admit to the customers face, has to be done. That’s what insurance is for, they’re always relieved hearing the insurance will cover it.

We all want you back Nick. Please revive the channel to a video a week!! Tired of the blowhards out there with mountains of affiliate marketing and arm-chair hobbyist advice. I’m installing (2) 6 year titanium oxide coatings from DPC on a Tesla and an Audi RS3 tomorrow 😁😁😁
