Attention To Detail

10/27/2026

Good evening!

I hope everyone’s week is off to great start!

I just wanted to take a moment and show you this beautiful 2007 Harley Davidson “soft tail” we recently had in the shop for paint correction, metal polishing, and Modesta ceramic coating!

After washing and decontaminating the paint (clay bar, iron and tar removal), I compounded all of the painted surfaces on the bike to remove the scratches and imperfections from the clear coat, and then machine polished everything to add gloss and clarity to the finish.

All of the chrome was polished by hand with a combination of “Never-Dull” (old school like my Dad taught me), and then a metal polish from Car Pro.

Alcohol prepped and coated with a wheel and caliper coating.

Modesta BX08 was then applied to all of the painted surfaces on the bike, adding gloss, and years of easy maintenance for our good friend Ronnie!

Ronnie I just wanted to thank you again for the opportunity to help you protect your beautiful Harley!

Good evening!!!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend so far.

Over the years I have had the honor and privilege of helping so many members of our military protect their vehicles, and often times they are some of my favorite people to work for, and interact with.

A few weeks ago a gentleman by the name of Jason emailed our website looking for help with the different packages and Modesta coatings.

He was very specific and detailed in his email, and I could tell that he was a “detail nerd” like me, so I went all in and delivered a lengthy-detailed response.

I’m also a habitual overthinker and after a few minutes I sent an email apologizing for being so “wordy”.

Jason called and said I knew if this wasn’t some automated AI chat bot responding that you were my guy!

He and his wife had just came in from Germany, and they purchased two new BMW’s there, and had both shipped back stateside.

When I met him in person I was blown away at how much of the information he actually retained, all the way down to the details of my daughters name, and what we were doing the day I called.

I was impressed to say the least!

Jason said he was born in 1981 but he must be sleeping in cryogenic chamber of some sort because he really looked much closer to 30, and was clearly pretty shredded. 💪🏻

Jason picked up his beautiful 2026 BMW X1 today and the interaction at pickup will forever be an all time favorite.

We talked about things that mattered more than money while I had his X1, things like integrity, honor, and honesty.

He gave me this card today and remembered my daughter Grace loved milkshakes even.

I’ve said it before and I’ve got to say it again God continues to put the most amazing people in my path!

(There was a gift card to Starbucks in here as well)

As far as his BMW X1 goes after washing and decontaminating the paint we were left with a terrible case of salt water spots from being shipped overseas.

I tried two different acidic based chemicals to strip them but they hardly made a dent in the mineral and salt stains.

An extensive multistage compounding and multiple steps of machine polishing ensued and roughly 34 hours later we had reached the original goal:

A beautiful new BMW coated with one of the worlds finest ceramic coatings:

MODESTA BC04

We coated the wheels with Modesta BC06 and a glass coating was installed on the front windshield and sunroofs.

Meeting Jason was certainly a highlight of my 2025 and I’m grateful for each and every person that has put their trust in Attention to Detail to help them protect their vehicles!

Thank You!!!

Good evening!!!


I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

I just wanted to take a moment and show you one of the recent projects we were blessed to have in the shop for Suntek paint protection film, and Modesta ceramic coating!

This beautiful 2026 Genesis GV80 made it’s way to the shop courtesy of our new friend Colin.

Our goals for the project were to protect the most vulnerable areas of the vehicle from stone chips, and damage from road debris with SunTek Films paint protection film, and to get the paint and exterior dialed in, and help Colin keep it that way for years to come with a Modesta ceramic coating!

The owner of this Genesis (truly a gentleman) does the vehicle maintenance and detailing himself so I knew exactly how to make his life easier, and the weekend washing much more enjoyable.

Modesta BC04 was applied to all of the painted surfaces on the vehicle, and Suntek ultra PPF was applied to the upper and lower portions of the front bumper.

The paint has a beautiful metallic to it with a deep green base and it really looked incredible when we completed the project.

Colin I just wanted to thank you again for the opportunity to help you protect your beautiful new Genesis!

Thank you to everyone for continuing to follow along and thank you for your support! God Bless!

Good evening!

Our very own Princess Grace Amanda is doing a fundraiser for her school Rivers Of Life Christian School and it’s a “Walk-athon”.

This is the only fundraiser for the school year (I believe that’s right forgive me if I’m wrong), and it will help for new additions to the playground, classroom updates and improvements, and a field trip at the end of the year.

Pastor Travis and his family have really gone out of their way to make sure the kids are in a safe, kind, loving environment while at school, and without them I’m not sure what me and my family would do.

I personally am very glad that I do not have to find out!

Below is me just copying and pasting what my wife sent me to post, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has already donated, and to everyone who donated last year.

Grace had an amazing time on the field trip at the end of the year, and of course in the spirit of competition I would like her to raise the most money lol!

I hope everyone has an awesome weekend and thank you for all of your continued support here at “ATD”.

We’re nothing without a ton of help from God and all of you!

Huge shout out to one of my best friends Jake Dellinger for spending his Saturday evening helping me get my pressure washer dialed in!

(Not to mention the air lines, lights, insulation in the attic etc., one of these days when everything is dialed in at the same time we’ll get some legit shop update photos)

For those of you at home wondering is the difference from 2 gallons a minute to 3.25 gallons a minute really that noticeable?

The answer is YES!

It’s magical.

It’s everything I hoped it would be. 💪🏻

AR Blue Clean you did an amazing job with the pump.

The AR635 makes washing cars fun again that’s for darn sure.

Thank you to Obsessed Garage Support Team for always having my back.

You guys are great.

Good evening and Happy Friday!

I often talk about just how many incredible people God has put into my path since starting Attention to Detail, and trust me I know how that may sound sometimes, but I promise it’s an understatement.

This past week I was blessed with a surprise lunch visit from one of my favorite people on the planet who just so happens to live in Canada- Eric Sawatzky!!!

For those of you who don’t know the backstory to how Eric and I first met it’s like something out of a movie, well at least to me it was, I was the damsel in the distress character, while Eric was absolutely the hero.

I had been reverse engineering every Drive Protected long form video on YouTube I could find.

The PPF training class that I took in Indiana had me questioning my decision making to say the least.

I was overwhelmed and really stressed out.

I had invested the majority of our small savings account at the time into buying a Graphtec plotter, 2 rolls of film, and the training.

I asked the instructor if he thought I’d be good to go to schedule PPF work when I got home from class and he said absolutely.

To say I underestimated the skill, patience, and talent it would take to actually do a presentable job for a customer would be the understatement of the decade.

I was lost. Frustrated. Freaking out.

I commented on a Silverado video Eric had made, and he commented back asking for my email address. Then we exchanged phone numbers, and the next thing I know I’m getting a video call from a guy that was YouTube famous to me, asking to see the truck I was struggling with.

More importantly he told me to calm down, and he said brother I was exactly where you are when I left the XPEL training in Texas a few years ago.

Eric is hands down the greatest installer I’ve seen or met so to hear he struggled too eased my mind.

He said do you ever work weekends in your shop?

Me: Every weekend. Why?

Eric: would you be ok with me coming down and showing you a few things over the course of a couple days?

Me: brother I would love that but I’m broke from the class, plotter, and film and I don’t want to waste your time.

Eric: No big deal I have enough miles on the AMEX to fly down for free. Just pay for the hotel and we’re good.

Me: you would seriously be willing to do that for me?

Keep in mind we didn’t know each other outside of messages and me telling him how awesome of a job he did on a hundred or so videos on YouTube.

He said absolutely, and ask your customer if he would be willing to wait two weeks for me to come down and we’ll do the front clip with PPF and then you can coat it.

I’m very fortunate with the customers I have.

The majority of which are much more like friends than customers.

He said no problem at all.

Not only did Eric fly down and train me, he did the work for me so I could recover a little cash, and not lose the project.

He wanted nothing in return.

How often does something like that happen in life or in business?

I am extremely blessed and Eric and I became the best of friends over the last few years, and I’m fortunate to be trained by a gentleman that is truly world class both when it comes to PPF and also as a man.

Eric laid the ground work and showed me things the industry does and accept that are absolutely not ok, and the things that guys like he and I need to change.

Don’t over promise.

It’s not invisible but when done right it looks great.

Stand behind your installs.

Never use pro bond.

I’m proud to say I’ve stuck to exactly what Eric told me to do and I’m so grateful that I had someone as talented as him show me the ropes.

Over the years I’ve got to witness things happen in Eric’s life that are so much more important than PPF or business (Eric is the proud dad of a 1 year old beautiful little girl named Oakley, who was born one day before my daughter Grace!). Due to his wife’s pregnancy and his new born little girl I haven’t got to see him in person in over a year, but this last Tuesday he drove a few hours out of his way to stop and have lunch with me.

I have no clue where I’d be in business without Eric’s help, and I’m blessed to not have to find out!

Thank you for always having my back brother and I’m so proud of the business you’ve built, all the work you’ve done in the gym, and how awesome of a Dad you are (I told everyone if given a chance you would be an amazing Dad, I was right 💪🏻)

I hope this project goes well for you brother and thank you so much for everything you have done for me and my family.

Our lives are better because of you.

Good evening and “Happy Sunday”!!!

Story Time!

If we back the truck up all the way to “2022” I had the privilege of helping a gentleman out on a new Ford King Ranch pickup that only went by and needed one name: “Cowboy”.

You knew upon meeting Cowboy that he was the highest caliber of man, and an all around great human.

Couldn’t ask for a kinder person to work for.

He told me that he had an allocation to purchase a new Z06 Corvette, and that he was building a shop just to put it in.

He painted a picture of how everything was going to look, and told me he would give me a holler once he had it in his possession, and also had everything sorted.

Fast forward to about 7 weeks ago, and I received a call from our friend Ethan over at “Pinto’s Customs”.

He told me had just finished up some custom paintwork on a Z06 for a customer named “Cowboy” and it needed a few panels wrapped with paint protection film, could he give him my number?

Absolutely!

I was honored he threw my name in the mix, and was of course wondering could this be the same Cowboy I knew?

He definitely said he was going to secure a new Z06 and one thing you immediately could tell about Cowboy was that he was a man of his word.

Just as Ethan said he would do Cowboy called later that evening, and I volunteered to make a house call due to the rain that had started to fall.

Sure enough I come down the driveway and leaned up against the side of the building was “Cowboy” Joe Morrison!

Not only did he have the car but he built the building to put it in!

Just as he said it would be too…

I’ve said it before but I have to say it again GOD continues to put amazing people in my life!

Now when it comes to this one of a kind 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 credit goes to Pintos Customs for the air brushed carbon fiber, and paint work. I believe initially the car was black.

Originally the vehicle was wrapped in Chicago and Cowboy had some panels painted, and was also unhappy with a few panels.

My buddy Duke from Dukes Details and Ethan told Cowboy to give me a call I could help with the PPF.

When Cowboy and I first met I could not have, and I told him that, it was above my talent level at the time.

This time however things were different, and 200 hours later I’m very proud to unveil this project to you courtesy of my good buddy “Cowboy”….

Now when I first started the project we went from just a few panels to Cowboy saying “Son I think we just redo the whole car”….and here we are.

I steamed and removed all of the film. ✅

Block sanded the entire car as flat as possible.✅

Cowboy wishes to show the car and he told me he wanted this to be the best it could be.

After 2 weeks of removing film, sanding, machine polishing, and prepping the vehicle we were finally ready for film.✅

I wrapped the entire vehicle with SunTek Films paint protection film. ✅

Modesta ceramic coatings were then applied to all of the film, glass, wheels and calipers, and trim. ✅

I have never claimed to be “elite” at anything if given one shot at it, but Cowboy gave me the ability to run with this project and keep it as long as I needed to deliver the “look” he was after.

I spent 3 days trying to nail the hood, and lower splitter.

This film is the prettiest I’ve seen personally.

In large part due to the surface underneath.

When I first saw this car outside in the sunshine I was relieved because I could see the efforts come to life and I couldn’t wait for Cowboy to see it.

Cowboy shows up 3 deep at the shop and of course I was anxious like I always am when a customer is picking up, but he shook my hand and said thank you. You told me you’d do the best work possible and I believe you have done exactly that.

Absolutely made my day!

A huge thank you goes to my main man Travis Watkins for coming over and walking circles around this car with me for over an hour looking for any imperfections or blemishes so they could be corrected before Cowboys arrival.

You always come through in the clutch my friend!

Thank you to my beautiful wife Nikki Lynn for putting up with me obsessing over every inch of this car for weeks on end, and helping with the PPF.

I love you honey!

Thank you to Ethan and Duke for vouching for me so I could have a shot as delivering on the project. I appreciate you both!

Good afternoon and Happy Saturday!

This past week I had the privilege of visiting my friends up at “Xtreme Muscle Carz” in Highland, and assisting on this beautiful 1969 Pontiac GTO!

I really have to start this post by saying what an honor it was being asked to come back a second time (I had the privilege of working on a Nova for them a few months back) to their shop.

If you have ever visited Xtreme muscle carz you already know they have an incredible building, full of beautiful cars all in various stages of extensive builds, and projects.

Xtreme is certainly the right name the building is huge!

The owner Brett Cygan has done the impossible.

As a dad to see them in action I was more than impressed.

Brett has created a business where not only is he able to take care of himself , but his boys work with him everyday.

As a guy that loved and respected my Dad to the fullest (and miss him very much) I was more than impressed.

I would be lying if I didn’t say I day dreamt this past week about my little Grace Amanda still wanting to hangout with me, and hopefully be interested enough in our business to help out.

Thank you to the Xtreme Family for making me feel welcome this past week I really appreciate you guys!

Now back to the task at hand and this beautiful GTO….

The car was painted elsewhere and the owner wanted to remove some of the texture and orange peel, while bringing out as much gloss as possible, and laying down some protection to hopefully preserve the finish, and make maintaining this beautiful beast easier in the future.

I wet sanded the entire vehicle to remove the orange peel, dirt nibs, and texture ✅

Compounded first with a rotary and twisted wool pad, followed by a coarse wool pad on a 21 mm long throw dual action polisher to clear up the marring and haze from the rotary and remove the holograms. ✅

Then 2 steps of machine polishing were performed to restore gloss and clarity to the finish. ✅

A ceramic coating from Modesta was installed over all of the painted surfaces on the vehicle to lock in all of the polishing and prep work, and provide years of easy washing and maintenance! ✅

This was an incredible project and an honor to play a small role in.

Thanks Xtreme!

We won!!!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years, and made this possible!

Thank you to everyone for voting (some of you daily!) it really meant a lot to me, and my family.

Thank you to my beautiful wife Nikki Lynn for being a pretty awesome social media post maker, and marketer for all things “Lloyd Denny”.

I love you honey, and I appreciate you very much.

I couldn’t have survived long in business if I didn’t have the one and only Cindy Denny (my incredible Momma) helping me.

She taught me to detail interiors, and we learned how to install PPF together-one wasted roll of film at a time I might add, and my Dad taught me the art of wet sanding.

A massive thank you goes to a gentleman who at first trained me on PPF, took thousands of phone calls and video calls from me in a state of panic, and along the way became one of my very best friends, and favorite people in life: Eric Sawatzky

Without you brother I’m not sure how long I could have taken the cruel and unusual punishment that learning PPF can be sometimes.

You sir are appreciated!

Detailing has always been a huge part of my life and a comfort zone for me.

In a strange way being behind a polisher has always been therapeutic for me.

This year marks 30 years from my first big “Before and After” Denny the “Snap On” man’s giant delivery truck.

With a rotary I buffed and polished for what seemed like days but when I was finished, and stood back and looked over the work: I was absolutely hooked. Something I could physically see that I did right!

For a kid that lacked confidence it meant a lot.

Attention to Detail started during a pandemic, while my wife and I had a brand new baby girl at home.

I was one of the very last guys to get laid off from the bodyshop I had worked at for years and thought I would retire from, and was honestly in full panic mode.

Grace is my first and only child, and I didn’t want to let her and Nikki down.

Because of all of you, and a ton of help from God that didn’t happen.

The schedule built itself overnight and before you knew it things were going too well to go back to the bodyshop.

My inner circle of people told me to make a run at it, and I’m so grateful I listened.

I prayed for work and it kept coming, and I still do exactly that today.

God has been so incredibly good to me, my family, and our business and I have been blessed to meet and develop friendships with so many of you, and it has been an honor to help you protect your vehicles.

When it comes to finishing work and paint protection you are only as strong as the weakest link in the chain.

I am honored and grateful that I have the world’s best ceramic coating in our arsenal with Modesta and SunTek Films for our PPF!

Thank you both for allowing me to be a part of your installer family.

Thank you for making the life I have today possible.

Where the little things are not only noticed, but appreciated, and in some rare cases like this one:

CELEBRATED


Thank you!!!!

St. Louis Post-Dispatch thank you for putting on the event it was an awesome evening!
