Detail Mafia Big Bear Weekend 2021 Main Event

Detail Mafia Big Bear Weekend 2021

This past weekend nearly 90 members of The Detail Mafia gathered in Big Bear, California for a 2-day networking and education event at Renny Doyle’s Detailing Success and it was AWESOME!


Traditionally, The Detail Mafia hosts their “Main Event” the day after SEMA in Las Vegas, Nevada. Unfortunately, many attendees and exhibitors decided to sit out this year’s SEMA, so the decision was made to host our Main Event at Detailing Success, the home of The Detail Mafia. Members came from as far away as The Netherlands to continue their detailing and business education, network and see old friends. Renny Doyle delivered a number of educational seminars…


  • Entry level ceramic coatings for non-corrected cars
  • Rock chip and scratch repair using Dr. ColorChip
  • Simple interior detailing tips that make a huge difference
  • New and innovative products and their uses
  • Killing it with your detailing menu
  • Busines planning or planning to fail?
  • Add-on services panel discussion
  • Managing and hiring staff
  • Challenge yourself and supercharge your efforts


Each day we enjoyed great food including tacos, burritos and more from Mario Alfonzo’s Taco Bus. Uber Detail in Corona, California provided a fabulous desert bar and P&S Detail Products hosted an open bar during Saturday night’s pajama party. Yup, you read that right! We wrapped up the weekend with a pajama party and it was a lot of fun!


We also recognized some well-deserving members with some fun awards…


  • Detail Mafia Hall of Fame – Jim Goguen
  • Detail Mafia Master Detailer – Joab Flores
  • Detail Mafia Master Detailer – Shane Mayfield
  • Detail Mafia Detailer of the Year – Rick Walling

  • Adam Garvin
  • Renzo Gazzo
  • Sydni Brae Gwinn
