Bill Phillips founded P&S Sales, Inc. in 1961, becoming one of the original pioneers of chemical solutions in the professional detailing industry. His journey began even earlier—in 1956—when he sold auto reconditioning chemicals out of the back of his station wagon to help pay for college. What started as a passion quickly became a purpose.
Over the years, Bill and his business partners transformed P&S into a respected chemical distribution and consulting company, driven by a commitment to service, innovation, and elevating the detailing industry. Bill led by example, guided by strong values, integrity, and an unwavering work ethic.
As the business evolved, Bill welcomed his sons into the company, expanding P&S into the chemical manufacturing and distribution leader it is today. Inspired by Bill’s vision and principles, P&S Sales continues to grow and adapt—consistently striving to meet and exceed the needs of professional detailers.
Although Bill passed away in 2014, his impact on the industry endures. His legacy lives on through his sons, Bob and Dave, whose leadership reflects the same style, spirit, and dedication that defined Bill’s approach to business.
In recognition of his lasting contributions, Bill Phillips received the IDA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015 and was inducted into the IDA Hall of Fame in February 2021.
Bob Phillips serves as Vice President of Pro Detail Sales for ATG while also acting as the brand champion for P&S Detail Products. In addition, Bob provides strategic leadership and vision for both P&S Detail Products and TEAM Double Black.
With a lifelong connection to the detailing industry, Bob’s career began on the streets of San Francisco, where he built relationships firsthand through route sales. This early experience laid the foundation for his deep understanding of customers, products, and the evolving needs of professional detailers.
Known for his enthusiasm, drive, and natural leadership, Bob brings passion and purpose to everything he does. He consistently strives for excellence, both in business and in life, leading with energy, integrity, and a commitment to pushing the industry forward.
Renny Doyle is widely recognized as one of the most influential advocates and visionaries in the professional detailing industry. With over three decades of experience, Renny has helped shape and elevate the craft and business of detailing through his work, mentorship, and leadership.
Renny’s passion for innovation and his forward-thinking played a pivotal role in the creation and growth of the P&S Double Black Detail line. Built on real-world experience, professional testing, and a deep understanding of what detailers truly need, Double Black reflects Renny’s commitment to raising industry standards. His influence helped shape a product line designed not just to perform, but to educate, inspire, and empower detailers to operate at the highest professional level—setting a new benchmark for excellence in the detailing industry.
Dave Phillips began his career at P&S in 1979 as a sales route driver serving Davis, Woodland, and Yuba City while attending UC Davis. Immersed in the business from an early age, Dave gained firsthand experience in customer needs and operations. By 1986, he was formulating products to drive innovation and advance the P&S product line.
Dave is involved in product development for P&S and associated brands within Appearance Technology Group. His wide-ranging expertise spans physical chemistry, process development, auto detailing and hands-on problem solving, making him a leading formulator in the detail industry.
Outside of work, Dave is deeply committed to an active lifestyle. He enjoys open water and masters swimming, cycling, water skiing, snow skiing, snowshoeing, backpacking, trail running, and whitewater rafting. His diverse interests also include astronomy, birding, puzzles, saltwater aquariums, cabinetry, and light home remodeling—reflecting the same curiosity and craftsmanship he brings to his work at P&S.
