What we do
Detailing services
Every vehicle gets looked at individually. Tell us what is bothering you and we will tell you honestly what it takes to fix it.
Interior Detailing
Full vacuum, carpets and upholstery shampooed, leather cleaned and conditioned, vents and crevices detailed.
Paint Polishing
Machine polishing to cut swirls, oxidation and light scratches, then sealed so the shine actually lasts.
Boat & RV Detailing
Hull cleaning, gelcoat compounding and waxing, interior cleaning — ready for the Saginaw River and the bay.
Headlight Restoration
Cloudy, yellowed lenses sanded, polished and sealed — better night visibility and a fresher-looking front end.
Odor & Stain Removal
Smoke, pets, spills and Michigan salt stains — treated at the source instead of covered up with air freshener.
