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 / Coatings & Industrial Coatings . 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 than 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.

*We accept Cash, Credit Card & Venmo payments with payment is due at pickup.

UPDATE 10/12

So after meeting with surgeon today, sounds like I am a great candidate for surgery. Need to have a few more scans done to verify a few things to be sure. Sounds like his plan would be to start chemo ASAP, and immunotherapy, 3 to 4 months after that 4 to 6 weeks to recover than preform surgery. The plan would be to remove middle and lower lobes, leaving upper. Worst case once getting in, would remove entire right lung. Best case after chemo is shrinks small enough that could only remove lower lobe, leaving middle and upper. Very small chance. Have a couple scans to measure just how efficient both lungs are preforming currently. I have also quit smoking pretty much cold turkey. The team at St Luke's meets today to discuss everything, once other tests complete middle of next week should know for sure. Either way sounds like Chemo will be starting next week as long as everything lines up.
