Detailing is a passion. I’ve been doing it for over 20 years now; and I have learned so much. From humble beginnings to being able to work on some of the coolest cars ever made, it has been quite the journey. Pictured above from left is a 2018 Ferrari 488 Spider, 2017 Ferrari F12 TDF, 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale and 2019 Ferrari Portofino.

Every single vehicle is different; some are brand new, some carry around kids 7 days a week, and some are only brought out for special occasions. Some are completely wrapped with paint protection film, some have parts and pieces done, and some older vehicles have a single stage of paint. Some cars have had individual panels repainted; while others have had the whole vehicle resprayed. Whether they live in a climate controlled garage or are on the street 24 hours a day every vehicle has different needs. With my experience I am able to handle any detailing job; I have the knowledge of the products that can help (or harm!) both the interior and exterior. Pictured above is a 2015 Rolls Royce Ghost Series II.

From waxes to ceramic coatings and everything in between I’ve found ways to make your ride shine brighter and better than ever before. Whether you’re looking for recondition detail; trying to get a scratch or door ding less noticeable or wanting to protect your ride for all seasons I can help. I have lots of customers who call me when they sell or are trading in their current vehicle; and they usually get a better trade in price or quicker private sale with a clean vehicle. Pictured above is a 2019 Rolls Royce Cullinan.

Every single vehicle on this page has a story; especially when it comes to detailing them. Some I have polished and brought back to life; others have full paint protection film and are basically new cars that require a wash and wipe. But even something as simple sounding as a wash can take up to a couple of hours depending on several factors. Between carpeted wheel wells, paint contamination and even the vehicle designs; the front of this 1969 Camaro that I did a full 3 stage polish on has some intricate parts; but it came out flawlessly and the owner was super happy.

Doing the proper prep work is absolutely vital in every aspect of detailing; here polishing the decklid on a low mileage 1998 Ferrari F355 Spider took about 30 minutes of taping to ensure that the top and engine bay mesh pieces were carefully protected. It is much easier to concentrate on making the paint perfect when you’re not worried about damaging the surrounding materials. Having the experience is of the highest importance when dealing with paint.

Pictured above is a 2014 Ferrari FF; the owner of this car was not afraid to use it; it had a full set of winter tires that allowed it to be used all year. Amazingly practical for being a Ferrari, the trunk is bigger than you’d expect.

Engine bays are usually one of the most forgotten about parts of a vehicle; because they have become so advanced we rarely ever check under the hood. This client was getting ready to sell their Audi Q5; and wanted the engine to match the rest of the car (which I have taken care of since it was new). Knowing what to cover and where to keep water away from is getting harder and harder with the new advances in technology; but thankfully I am always adapting and learning to ensure every car gets the care it deserves.

Wheels take so much abuse; from brake dust to dirt and rocks it all hurts. And let’s be honest we’ve all curbed a rim at some point lol. Keeping wheels looking great has gotten a lot easier; I coat all my wheels for a couple of reasons. Not only do they stay looking good for longer; cleaning them is also a lot easier. Nothing can stick to them like before and so just a simple degreaser gets them looking good. Add the fact that drying them is so much easier and it’s an easy decision. Pictured is a 2024 Bentley Continental GTC Azure Wheel.

Interiors are another area that can have many different materials; one of the most common being leather. Because leather is porous and loses moisture over time, leather conditioning is one of the biggest things you can do for your vehicle. It brings back color, shine, and keeps it from cracking and getting brittle. The Ferrari 488 Spider interior pictured above didn’t have a lot of mileage, but between being black and getting used during the summer with the top down it had faded to a dark grey. The interior color came back and the leather was as soft and supple as the day it left the factory.

No matter what kind of car you have I can help keep it looking great; whether it’s just some inside windows that need cleaned or a whole fleet of vehicles I can help with anything automotive related.

From motorbikes to cars to semi trucks there is nothing I can’t make shine; watching the transformation from dirty to clean is one of the best feelings. It is a great way to make you want to drive and enjoy your vehicle for as long as possible.
