Are you more of a DIY detailer?
Here are some products to use and the ones to run from at Walmart.

Walmart has plenty of good detailing products to use.

The good

#1. I’d recommend grabbing anything from Suds Labs. I’ve used them in a pinch when my local
Supplier is out of my normal chemicals. Fairly priced and good quality.

#2. Adams Polish. This is a major detailing brand and many professional shops use them. But tend to be a bit pricey and not any better than suds labs.

#3. Meguiars. They have been around for a long time, good quality, love the tire cleaner. Can get a little gimmicky like the wipes, but over all a good diy products.

#4. The bulk commercial grade yellow microfiber towels. These are my go to interior towels. Can be used on anything interior. Not great for exterior.

#5. Auto fiber products. They are ok exterior products. Good for your every day grocery getter. But I would avoid on more high end vehicles.

#6. Most of the diy head light restoration kits work well. Longevity can vary, but follow directions and you’ll be ok. (Expect chemical guys)

The bad.

#1. Stay away from anything chemical guys. It is over priced, watered down and gimmicky! Run away from anything with that logo.

#1.1. Run from anything armorall. These are terrible products and will probably leave your car covered in an oily mess. run away!

#2 jay Leno, Red Bull, turtle wax and black magic are all over priced or just not good chemicals to use.

#3. Did I mention chemical guys are armorall are terrible and over priced?! 

(This is all my own opinion from years in the business. Be sure to read directions and use products at your own risk)

If you are looking for higher quality products and advice, feel free to message me or stay tuned for the next post, where I explain where to get professional grade products and how to use them.

Good morning Shepherd!
As a local, our family understands the impact of these storms. Last year we lost our shop access for a period of time, and lost a lot of income due to repairs and recovery on our home.
We know a lot of this community is cleaning up. We’d be happy to help with glass clean up in your vehicle if it was impacted by the storm. Water damages may also leave stinky residue. Shoot me a message if you’re needing help with these services, and I’ll gladly come and see what we can do to get your rig back in service.
Our hearts are with this small community! It’s always a reminder of the importance of coming together as neighbors when these situations impact us all.

🚨We have a news about our business! (Adjustment of availability):

I am constantly in awe of how my community has shown up to support my family's small business. I have had so many wonderful customers, who sometimes got my family through some difficult times. Between the little snacks and waters left out, to patience for rescheduling, and ALL of the wonderful reviews - I truly have the best!

The economy has not been friendly to small owners. Finding healthcare packages has been hard to navigate, sustainable and reliable income, or just overall Murphy’s Law… it is tiring, it is inconsistent, and you never really clock out.

So I’ve accepted a full time position to provide all of the things that can be harder to develop as a small business owner. My back is sore, the hours have been long, and it’s time for something calmer for my family.

Because of that, detailing appointments will be limited for the time being. We’ll be focusing on existing maintenance clients and taking on additional appointments as availability allows.

We’re not closing our detailing business—just adjusting our schedule while we balance this new chapter. We truly appreciate everyone who has supported us over the years, and we look forward to continuing to serve our amazing clients whenever our schedule permits.

If you’re one of our maintenance clients and need to get on the schedule, send us a message! Same with any gift cards, long term supporters, or return cars…my schedule is just more limited now especially over the next month as I start a new schedule.
Need a referral? I’m happy to give you some other great names in our community. As always, I implore my customers to look for someone who is insured!
Need advice or tips? Send them my way - I’m happy to help. Same with new detailers who want to develop skills. I’m always open to helping others learn!

As always, thank you for your continued support. ❤️
