It is recommended to get your car detailed every 3-6 months to maintain its appearance and protect its surfaces. However, the frequency can vary based on your driving habits and environmental conditions.
A full detail includes thorough cleaning of both the interior and exterior of the vehicle, addressing every surface with specialized products and techniques, and making sure that every surface is coated with a long-lasting protectant. A basic wash typically focuses on the exterior of the vehicle and does not include detailed cleaning of the interior or any specialized treatments.
To prepare your car for detailing: Remove all personal items from the vehicle. Ensure the vehicle is accessible and in an area where we can work comfortably, and inform us of any specific concerns or areas you want us to focus on.
We can remove most light to moderate stains from upholstery and carpets. For unusually bad odors, our specific odor removal services are available as an additional add-on service.

To maintain the results of your car detailing: Avoid washing your car for at least 24 hours to allow any sealants or coatings to fully cure. Use pH-neutral car wash soap for future washes.

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.
