What We Offer

Our Specialties include:

Let It Shine Detailing specializes in mobile detailing, professional cleaning, coating, and polishing services, bringing high-quality care directly to you. No vehicle is too big or too small—from everyday cars and motorcycles to boats, aircraft, farm equipment, and commercial fleets. Every job is handled with precision, premium products, and attention to detail to ensure anything you trust us with looks its absolute best.

Our Services include:

Interior & Exterior Vehicle Detailing: Our interior and exterior detailing services are designed to restore your vehicle inside and out. From thorough hand washing and waxing to deep interior cleaning, carpet shampooing, and surface conditioning, we focus on every detail to leave your vehicle looking refreshed, protected, and road-ready.
Automotive, Truck & Motorcycle Detailing: Whether you drive a daily commuter, a lifted truck, or a weekend motorcycle, our detailing services are tailored to each vehicle type. We carefully clean, protect, and enhance paint, trim, wheels, and interiors to ensure a polished finish that turns heads and extends vehicle life.
Marine & Aviation Detailing: We specialize in detailing for boats and aircraft, addressing the unique challenges caused by sun exposure, water, and oxidation. Our services help protect surfaces, restore shine, and maintain the appearance and integrity of your marine or aviation investment.
Commercial Fleet & Farm Equipment Detailing: From work trucks to farm equipment, we offer professional detailing and coating services that keep your equipment clean, protected, and presentable. Our coatings help reduce wear from harsh conditions while improving durability, appearance, and ease of maintenance.
Paint Enhancement & Scratch Correction: Light scratches, swirl marks, oxidation, and dull paint can all be corrected through professional buffing and paint enhancement. Our process safely restores gloss and clarity, bringing life back to tired or weathered finishes.
Ceramic & Advanced Protective Coatings: We offer high-performance coatings for paint, leather, plastic, and glass that deliver superior protection and long-lasting shine. Options include Flight Shield Ceramic Coating and Duraslic Coating, designed to repel dirt, resist UV damage, and make routine cleaning easier.
Liquid Paint Protection Film (PPF): Our liquid paint protection film adds an invisible layer of defense against rock chips, road debris, and environmental damage. This seamless coating helps preserve your vehicle’s finish while maintaining a clean, factory appearance.
Engine & Under-Hood Detailing: A clean engine bay improves appearance and makes maintenance easier. Our under-the-hood cleaning removes grease, dirt, and buildup while carefully protecting sensitive components for a clean, professional look.
Headlight Restoration: Cloudy or yellowed headlights reduce visibility and safety. Our headlight restoration process clears oxidation, restores brightness, and improves nighttime driving clarity—all while enhancing your vehicle’s overall appearance.
Convenience Services: We offer pickup and delivery options to make detailing easy and stress-free. Free estimates and consultations are always available so you know exactly what to expect. Saturday appointments are offered by request to accommodate busy schedules.

I cannot recommend John enough. I was convinced no one could clean my husband’s car—it was in rough shape—but John completely proved me wrong. The car looks brand new, inside and out. His attention to detail, professionalism, and pride in his work truly show. He exceeded every expectation, and we will absolutely be using him again and recommending him to everyone we know.
