When you hire the cheap guy, you might be getting the E. Honda special. 😅

Look at this hood and door, but know the entire truck looks like this. Those streaks aren't swirl marks. That's ceramic coating that was applied unevenly, high spots left behind where the product wasn't leveled out before it cured. Once that happens, it's locked in. No amount of washing fixes it, because it's not dirt on the surface, it's the coating itself sitting wrong.

That's what happens when a coating gets applied without the patience to level it, buff it out, and check the work before it flashes.

Real installation is slow and deliberate. Panel by panel, leveled and inspected before moving on, because a coating only performs the way it's supposed to when the application matches the standard the product was built for. This could even potentially be the result of applying the ceramic coating in direct sunlight, in a mobile environment.

If your last coating job left streaks like this behind, it wasn't installed. It was rushed. There's a difference, and the paint underneath is stuck wearing it for years.

I'd give two left lug nuts to have the kind of free time this person clearly has.

Got another piece of fan mail through my website this a couple weeks ago. Some guy filling out my contact form specifically to tell me how awful of a detailer I am, how nobody's happy with my work, and while he's at it.. to critique my marketing too.

Six years in and the bitterness out there is at an all time high.

I wasn’t going to post about it but seriously..

Think about how weird that actually is. A grown adult sat down (again), fake name (again), fake email (again), went to my website (again), used the contact form (again), and typed out a whole message about a business that isn't his (again). Not to book anything (again). Just to talk s**t anonymously behind a keyboard. (Again)

Meanwhile I’m over here booked, building, and living my life with money in the bank allowing me to close the shop for 8 days because the business is financially, great.

If my work was as bad as this guy claims, he wouldn't need to seek me out to say so. The market would handle it. But six years later I'm still here, still growing, still getting under somebody's skin apparently.

And that’s still not a me problem. That's a them problem.

Imagine being this obsessed with another man's business instead of your own. 😬

This past weekend I spent three days at RUPES BigFoot Academy in Louisville, Colorado, cross-training in paint correction, PPF, and film installation. I went out there to master what I already do paint correction wise and pick up what I didn’t have yet. What I came back with is bigger than that.

Somewhere in the middle of the week I stopped being the student and stepped into a trainer role, working alongside others on both correction and film. That confirmed something I’ve been circling for a while.

Now let’s talk about what’s coming to Stick to the Details..

Paint protection film. After six years, the training, and the certifications, I’m bringing PPF services into shop. Full stop.

I also had some conversations and was given the green light to host Owner’s Pride paint correction and ceramic coating trainings out of our facility. That means this shop becomes a training destination, not just a service studio.

We’re also adding two DIY courses. A wash and ceramic coating maintenance class for people who want to protect their investment properly at home. And a full DIY paint correction and ceramic coating course for those who want to learn the craft themselves.

And starting soon, we’re hosting a monthly Sunday morning car show. Rides and Coffee.

If any of this sounds familiar, it should. A lot of you found me because of what I built in a previous chapter.. the trainings, the community, the Sunday mornings. And nearly every one of you has told me the same thing over the years: “I miss that stuff.”

I’ve spent six years earning every certification I wanted and needed to convince myself I could do this the right way. I’ve got them now.

Let’s build it.

If your paint looks like the picture on the left - we can make it right again.

Paint correction restores a finish that time and the environment have worn down.

Look closely at older paint and you'll find the damage. Swirl marks from improper washing. Fine scratches. Etching from bird droppings and acid rain that's eaten into the clear coat. Individually they're easy to miss. Together they're why paint looks dull, hazy, and flat instead of deep and sharp.

Correction is the process of leveling those defects out of the clear coat to bring back clarity and depth. Done right, it's not a buff-and-pray. It's a documented, measured process. Every correction here starts with a NexPTG gauge reading so I know exactly how much clear coat I'm working with before a pad ever touches the panel. That's how you remove defects safely instead of guessing your way into a repaint.

In Florida, the finish takes a beating year-round. UV, heat cycles, love bugs, road film, industrial fallout. Correction addresses what's already there, and a proper coating on top preserves the result going forward.

If your paint needs attention and you'd rather it be handled right, reach out and set up a free in-person inspection. Sight-unseen quotes aren't something I do, because your paint tells me what it needs when I can actually see it.

Yesterday was advanced wet sanding and paint correction at RUPES USA. All the practice I've been putting into my sanding paid off. It came down to technique in the end, and I walked away with a few things that make heavy correction work, the deep defect removal most shops won't touch, cleaner and more controlled back at the studio.

Today and tomorrow shift to OP ShieldFX paint protection film training with Owner's Pride.

For clients, here's what this means. The work that leaves this shop keeps getting sharper because the person doing it refuses to stand still. Certification isn't a finish line. It's a standard you re-earn every year, and every hour spent out here is another edge on the correction and coating work waiting back home.

More on the paint film side soon.

Five Years, One Obsession

It started with a phone call and a little bit of curiosity.

Five years ago, while I was still working for Chemical Guys and Detail Garage, I reached out to Owner's Pride about becoming a certified installer. A couple months later I went through my first training class. That was the beginning of something I couldn't have mapped out if I tried.

A year and a half after that they brought me on in a key role. I spent about a year there before pulling back to pour everything into Stick to the Details.

Back then I just wanted to learn. I had no idea what was coming. The late nights. The raw hands. The brutal trial and error. The quiet moments where you wonder if any of the sacrifice is ever going to pay off.

People saw a guy washing cars. They didn't see the obsession. They didn't see what it actually takes behind the scenes to master a craft.

Fast forward to today. Two National Detailer of the Year awards. A studio built from almost nothing into something I'm genuinely proud of. And right now I'm in Colorado at RUPES with Owner's Pride for more advanced training, because five years in, I'm still learning. Still reinvesting. Still chasing the next level.

Why’s this matter to you?

When you hand over a vehicle, you're not paying for someone who learned this last year off a video. You're paying for half a decade of obsession, certification, and refinement poured into every correction and every coating that leaves this shop. That's the difference between a finish that's been worked on and one that's been mastered.

Still just getting started.

A beginner’s map to polishers.

🔵 The Dual Action - if it isn’t spinning you aren’t winning. Forgiving, safe, and the best place to start.

🔴 The Rotary - the best thing about it is that it spins hot and fast. The worst thing about it is that it spins hot and fast. Powerful in the right hands, dangerous in the wrong ones.

🔵 The Forced Rotation - imagine the dual action and the rotary had a kid. It doesn’t stop spinning like its rotary father, but it’s got a slight w**d habit and moves kind of like a w**d grinder. Best of both worlds if you know what you’re doing.

Detailing has a habit of overcomplicating things. Let’s start simplifying instead.

Pick the tool that fits the job and the skill level. That’s the whole secret. 🧼

(This one’s meant to be equal parts funny and helpful for anyone getting into detailing and trying to figure out which polisher to grab.)

Ceramic coating isn't about chasing shine.

The gloss is real, and it's part of the appeal. But anyone installing a coating purely for looks is missing what actually makes it worth doing.

A properly installed ceramic coating bonds to the clear coat and creates a hydrophobic surface that stands up to UV exposure, bird droppings, sap, brake dust, and the road film that builds on every vehicle in Florida. Contamination has less to hold onto. Water sheets off instead of sitting. And maintenance washes get faster, easier, and less frequent.

That's the real return. Not the reflection in the parking lot.. the years of easier upkeep and preserved finish that follow it.

At Stick to the Details, we don't do fly-by-night coatings. Our packages are built to perform over years, not weeks. That means proper decontamination, correction where the surface needs it, and installation in a controlled environment.. because the coating is only as good as the preparation underneath it.

Daily driver or weekend vehicle, the standard is the same.

When we’re back, we’re back. Appointments are available starting August 7th.

Six years ago, I was working for Chemical Guys and I was flying to Los Angeles for two weeks of training and certifications.

Today I'm driving to Colorado for a few more days of the same.

The dates change. The destinations change. The one thing that hasn't is the belief that the day you decide you've learned enough is the day you start falling behind.

A couple of National Detailer of the Year titles later, and I'm driving in the car to go get better at this. That's not a contradiction. That's the whole reason the titles happened in the first place.

Every technique I bring back goes straight into the work that leaves this studio.

Six years in. Still learning. Still chasing it.
