CME Shine

CME Shine International Detailing Association (IDA) Certified Detailer with Skills Validated (CD-SV) & Recognized Industry Trainer (RIT). What Does Being Certified Mean?

We specialize in automotive Paint Correction and Coatings. We are also Distributor for CarCandy Detailing Products. Hi, I’m Chad – founder and co-owner of CME Shine Auto Detailing. My passion for automotive care started early. At 16, my dad taught me the value of maintaining a vehicle, and what began as a simple routine quickly became a personal obsession. Over the years, detailing became more tha

n just a hobby—it became a craft. While I’ve been professionally detailing for the past three years, my experience with discipline, leadership, and attention to detail runs much deeper. I spent 14 years in the fire service, proudly serving between two departments. During that time, I held the roles of Training Officer for four years and Captain for another four, helping shape and lead teams in high-stakes situations. That experience taught me how to stay sharp under pressure, hold myself to high standards, and always take pride in my work—principles I carry into every detail job I take on. To further hone my skills, I’ve trained with some of the best in the industry, including Mel Craig, Dan Tyger of Adam’s Polishes, and Josh Pierce. Their mentorship helped push my work to the next level and set a foundation for excellence at CME Shine. I’m also incredibly grateful for the support of my family. Their encouragement has fueled every step of this journey, and their belief in me is at the heart of this business. Whether you're interested in a premium ceramic coating or a high-end detail, I’d be honored to earn your trust. At CME Shine, it’s not just about making your vehicle look great—it’s about doing the job right, with the same pride and precision I’ve brought to every role I’ve ever held. Being an IDA Certified Detailer means we have successfully completed ten rigorous tests that assessed our expertise in various areas, including Equipment, Chemicals, Glass, Interior Detailing, Leather, Paint Correction and Protection, Wheels and Tires, Prep Wash and Wash Bay, Detailing Terminology, and Safety and Compliance. We earned our Skills Validated Certification by demonstrating our practical abilities to a Certified IDA Trainer through hands-on testing to validate our knowledge. Additionally, we have traveled to California for specialized training with The Detailing Pro’s and Revivify America’s President Mel Craig, earning our Advanced Paint Correction and Revivify Certified Self Healing Installer certifications. Our hands-on training also includes completion of Adam’s Polishes Shine Academy in Thornton, CO, and other in-person training from IDA Certified Trainers across the United States. We are committed to more than just submitting a picture for certification; we invest the time, effort, and resources into hands-on training to continually refine our skills and enhance the service we provide to our clients. We offer tailored detailing packages designed to meet your specific needs. From classic cars to modern vehicles, our skilled team is equipped to handle it all.

At CME Shine we are here to help determine whats best for your lifestyle and vehicle. Sure I could only try to sell ceramic coatings, but they aren't for everyone. And that's ok! We can come up with plenty of ways to make your ride shine and still protect it with a coating. This beautiful Escalade V is living proof! The customer likes having a clean ride, but uses automatic car washes to keep it looking clean. We can't stand behind our work if high ph chemicals are used on a regular basis. So we went through and removed heavy waterspoting on the glass, and other areas on painted surfaces. Than we did a polish followed by a 6 month sealant.

So Thank You Carl for the opportunity to earn your business, you have a beautiful V!

Today I administered a SV (skill validation) for the IDA. Being an RIT allows me to ensure they have the knowledge and skill set to be CD (certified detailer). Tara Kahler wanted to show as a detailing business owner and product distributor that she has the knowledge to back up what we do. If you are looking to obtain CD or SV from The International Detailing Association contact an RIT near you!

Another great experience! Brian and Patty brought us this convertible for a make over. It sees some gravel roads and boy was it dusty. We did an interior including trunk and under the spare tire, we did an exterior wash and clay to remove heavy overspray. They were so happy they booked Brian's truck for us to do as well. Thanks Shelly Kraus for the referral! I will be sending you a gift! Thanks Brian and Patty for the opportunity to show you what we can do! Looking forward to a long relationship.

Today isn’t just about cookouts, sunshine, and a day off work.

It’s about remembering the heroes who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy every single day. 🇺🇸

At CME Shine, we proudly stand behind the men and women who served this country — and especially those who never made it home.

Freedom isn’t free. Never forget the cost.

Please take a moment today to honor our fallen heroes and keep their families in your thoughts.

Have a safe Memorial Day from all of us at CME Shine. 🇺🇸
