After an extended pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was able to take on limited work (by special request) to finish out 2020 on a high note.

While I am still severely limiting the jobs I accept for the time being, I am available by request (weather permitting), and following a strict set of guidelines to protect against the virus. You can view those policies and procedures here:

Here’s to a happier, healthier 2021! I look forward to serving all of my clients, both existing and new, throughout the new year. Thank you all for your patience and understanding, and for your business.

A note to my clients and potential clients:

Some detail businesses are remaining open under the belief that we are an “essential” service. I do not agree with this assessment.

Although I am able to clean and sanitize vehicles, there are associated risks that must be mitigated.

It is vital during this time that you ensure anyone who is detailing your vehicle has sanitized and/or discarded equipment and consumables between every vehicle they touch to ensure they are not serving as a transmission vector.

Know that this can be a costly and time consuming measure to take.

As a low volume, higher-end service provider, I do not feel it is in my nor the public’s best interest to provide services when the guidelines and directives are changing daily, and PPE/other resources are already scarce.

It is for those reasons that I will not be accepting any clients for the time being, at least until we are given the all-clear by relevant authorities.

Please, everyone, be vigilant, stay safe, and stay home. Thank you all for understanding.

This beautiful "modern classic" car was recently brought in for paint correction and general detailing in an effort to make it presentable for cruising to local shows, as well as for the owner's enjoyment. Despite 21 years of aging and use, a massive improvement was achieved.

Following the detail, we took the car to a few locations around Lansing for a photo shoot. This was a fun project; thanks again for your business Steve!

If you're interested in a photoshoot of your own car after it's detailed, be sure to check out Steve Mack Photography with your ideas; we can coordinate to make it happen!

I recently had the opportunity to work with a new client on his '98 Pontiac Trans Am, and followed up with a photo shoot where I provided on-site assistance to ensure the car was ready for her close-up! Thanks again for your business, Steve, and the photos came out great!

Stay tuned for some of my shots during the paint correction along with a few more from the location shoot; in the meantime check out Steve Mack Photography if you'd like a similar shoot for your own car post-detail!

Friends don’t let friends have the body shop “buff” their paint!

This 2015 Corvette Stingray recently had some paintwork done at a body shop, and in the process a large portion of the car was detailed/buffed by their finishing crew. Unfortunately, as is the case with many higher volume body shops and dealerships, the paint was not refined and finished down properly, leaving buffer trails, swirls, and holograms that were readily visible in the sun and under intense direct lighting in the shop. Proper paint correction was performed to give the finish a deep, clear, and glossy appearance again.

Next time your car visits a body shop, make sure a proper correction performed by a specialist is your next stop!

The first two jobs of "toy season" are in the books! This pair of Torch Red Corvettes each received extensive and complete paint correction and CQuartz Professional ceramic coating.

Which would you choose? C6, or C7?

This stunning new GT350 recently came by for a few days worth of work. It received a thorough wash and decontamination, followed by a single polishing step with CarPro Essence. This left the paint primed and ready for the all-new CQuartz Professional ceramic coating.

The wheels were also removed in order to fully coat them along with the Brembo brake calipers with CQuartz Finest.

Introducing the latest addition to the shop!

In an effort to continually improve quality and efficiency, I have purchased a portable lift to allow easier access to lower panels and facilitate safer and easier removal of wheels in order to fully detail and coat them along with brake and suspension components.

The first CQuartz Finest application of 2017 is in the books! This brand new Subaru arrived in untouched, factory fresh condition, complete with all shipping wrap still in place inside and out.

Because it had not been washed or prepped by the dealer, the paint was already in near-flawless condition, requiring only a quick polishing step to maximize gloss and prime the surface for coating. This saved the customer considerable cost as additional paint correction was not needed.

The interior was also treated to CQuartz Fabric protection on the carpets, and CQuartz Leather on all seating surfaces. It's now well protected for years of easy maintenance!

Extremely proud to be Mid-Michigan's ONLY source for CQuartz Finest, the industry's most exclusive premium paint protective coating!
