Hello, Kansas City! We are back again with the Bespoke Automotive Refinement Podcast. Today we have with us the founder of Bespoke Automotive Refinement here in the Kansas City area, Thomas Till. Thank you so much for joining us and for sharing your incredible wisdom about cars today.
Oh, thank you so much for having me on. Yeah, you know, we are the one-stop shop for all Kansas City auto detailing services, so we’re here to just talk about any questions that anyone may have and inform everyone in the area about our Kansas City auto detailing services. Well, to start with, can you tell us a little bit about these Kansas City auto detailing services that you offer? Yes, so we detail cars, but more specifically, we have many different packages tailored to many different needs, wants.
You know, we have people that have a minivan that has three or four kids, and the car is disgusting, and they want it periodically cleaned to keep it from getting really disgusting. And then I have clients who purchase, you know, a new Ferrari every month, and they want the car paint corrected and ceramic coated, and then they never touch it again. And then I have clients who I’ve done exotic cars for that they want them periodically washed.
They get on our maintenance program to get the cars periodically detailed and cleaned. How often can somebody come to you to get their car detailed? Every day. You would go to somebody’s house every day? If they paid me enough.
Wow. If they paid me enough, I would go to their house five times a day. If somebody does have, like, a subscription service with bespoke automotive refinement, how much of a discount do you give off? I give a $50 discount on all of the monthly subscription plans.
How would somebody go about getting regular washes? If you are interested in getting on our monthly subscription plan, go ahead and give me a call at 620-282-0402. If you’re looking at getting on our monthly subscription program for our Kansas City Auto Detailing Services. Perfect.
All right, so I have a question for you. You are a bit of a car guy, from my understanding. You really enjoy cars with great passion.
Yes. What is your all-time favorite car? Let me qualify. What is a car that you would like to own, and then what is your all-time, just in general, favorite car? Well, there are a lot of cars I’d like to own.
So, I don’t even think I have enough time to talk about every car that I want to own. The car on my mind right now is a C6 Z06. That’s going to be my next car.
I’ve already owned one once before. It’s the best, in my opinion, the best sports car under $100,000. If somebody was to get a new car, and they want it looking really good, like let’s say you get your C6 Z06, what would you do? What is your day one, this is what I would do to make the car look just spiffy? I would do our gold glamor detail package.
That’s gonna, that’s gonna allow us to go through the entire interior and get any little speck of dirt, speck of dust that was missed when they cleaned the car at the dealership, and then I’m gonna go through and re-clean and recondition the entire interior with all of the interior plastics, leathers, trims, all of that. I’m gonna make sure that’s properly cleaned, properly protected, and then I would add on to that a two-stage paint correction. The reason why, even on a brand new car, you still could benefit from a paint, your brand new car can still benefit from a paint correction.
So, like what would somebody be looking for to know if they need a paint correction? Well, if they have paint, they need a paint correction, and that sounds so silly, but there are cars that I’ve worked on in the past that may not have scratches and swirls in the paint, but after I begin paint correcting them, I start cutting through a thin layer of orange peel, and I begin cutting through sanding scuffs. And so, even though there aren’t a ton of scratches in the paint, I’m still cutting through a layer of imperfections on the top of the clear coat that are really hiding that car’s true depth and true finish. So, you would do the stage two, and then what would you do to maintain the look and feel of the car? Like, is there anything you would add? Yes.
So, after I was done paint correcting the car, I would install a G-Technic Crystal Serum ceramic coating. That’s a five-year ceramic coating. That coating is going to make the paint extremely hard.
It’s going to make it repel about anything, and it’s going to make it harder to scratch. It’s going to make it resist UV rays. It’s going to make it resist chemical etchings, harmful fallout in the rain, everything.
And that’s going to make it to where once we perfect the car for you, you can then use the car for daily use and not have to worry about something happening to the paint because it’s perfected and then protected. Okay, so then you would perfect it. What would you do to the engine and things like that to make, let’s say somebody wants their car to go faster.
What is something they can do to make their car go faster? What would you recommend? Well, the first thing that anyone can do to any car, whether it’s a naturally aspirated car, supercharged, turbo, compound system, the first thing that you do if it’s stock is you change the intake. So, you put a different intake filter, different intake bridge, and then I would do long tube headers on any car and then tune it. If you have a supercharged car, get a smaller pulley.
So, you want to pull the car down because a smaller pulley, the supercharger can spin faster, meaning that the engine can spin faster, meaning you make more boost. If you have a turbocharged car, get a downpipe, retune it, add more boost. And then if you have a naturally aspirated car and you’re wanting to add a lot of power, pull the heads, resurface the heads, have them ported and polished, put a bigger cam in it, and let her rip, tater chip.
So, if somebody wanted to get some services done, how do they get a hold of you or to get something scheduled? If you are looking to have one of our Kansas City auto detailing services performed, you can give me a call at 620-282-0402 or if you’re just wanting to talk about cars, I’ll do it. I mean, I’ll talk cars with a total stranger for hours. It’s one of my favorite hobbies.
Let’s say somebody doesn’t know exactly what they want. They don’t know if they want to have paint correction or detail or even what kind of detail. Will you walk them through the process to figure out what they need? Absolutely.
So, like I stated before, we have so many different Kansas City auto detailing services that we offer. The best way for me to know what you’re wanting done, what goals you’re looking to achieve with your vehicle, is to just go ahead and give me a call at 620-282- 0402 and we can walk through what you’re looking at having done, what your goals are that you’re wanting to achieve, and see which one of our Kansas City auto detailing packages will suit you best.
