Here’s a breakdown of our Exterior Detailing Process:
We start by stripping away any existing wax or sealants using a safe citrus cleaner. This is followed by a foam cannon soak to lift contaminants, protecting your paint from scratches during the hand wash. Once the vehicle is hand washed and dried, we apply a 6-month ceramic wax to seal in the shine and protect your paint from the elements.
We use an alkaline cleaner to remove heavy dirt and brake dust from your wheels and tires. Special brushes are used to clean tight spaces like lug nuts and deep into the wheel barrels. Afterward, your wheels are coated with a ceramic sealant to prevent future brake dust buildup, while your tires are dressed with a long-lasting shine.
Exterior trim can fade due to sun exposure and wear. After cleaning the trim, we apply a trim restoration product that brings back the original color and protects it with a durable, hydrophobic coating that repels water and dirt. The UV inhibitors in the product prevent future fading, keeping the trim looking fresh for months.
After cleaning your glass to a streak-free shine, we apply a ceramic sealant to create a hydrophobic layer that repels rain, bird droppings, and dirt. This improves visibility and makes future cleanings much easier.
Our Exterior Only Detailing service is designed to bring out the best in your vehicle’s exterior. Every step is intentional, using professional-grade products to clean, protect, and restore your paint, wheels, trim, and glass for lasting results.

I didn’t grow up dreaming about detailing. My pops had real deal OCD when it came to cars — spotless, perfect, everything done a certain way. And me? I used to run from that. If he called me to help wipe down a car, I was gone, already halfway down the street with my friends.
Life got funny though… because everything I ran from ended up becoming the thing that saved me.
When COVID hit, I caught it. It knocked me off my feet and made me rethink everything. I was working security making $10 an hour, barely surviving, and after getting sick I realized that wasn’t the life I wanted to go back to. So I quit — no safety net, no idea where my next dollar was coming from.
That’s when detailing came back into my life. The same skill I avoided as a kid became my lifeline. I picked up a bucket and a vacuum, and somehow that turned into my first clients. Then more. Then more. Detailing literally kept me alive when I had nothing else.
Now it’s my passion. I love seeing a car transform, watching a customer smile, and knowing I brought something back to life. I’m constantly learning new skills — paint correction, interiors, coatings — because I want to take this as far as it can go. Long-term, I’m building myself into one of the top detailers in my city, skill-wise and service-wise.
Funny how God works… He took the thing I ran from and made it the thing that’s building my future.
I’ve always had an eye for the small details, which naturally led me into the world of detailing. Over the past 6 years, I’ve turned that passion into a craft—focused on restoring, protecting, and elevating every vehicle I work on. My long-term goal is to build a strong reputation for quality and care. What I enjoy most is seeing customers light up when they see the transformation. My philosophy is simple: treat every car like my own, work with precision, and never cut corners.
