Personal by nature.
One familiar person who knows your vehicle and respects your schedule, driveway, and trust.
Private automotive detailing for owners who appreciate thoughtful service, lasting relationships, and the beauty of a meticulously cared-for vehicle.
THE NIGHTSHADE · BRAND INSPIRATION RENDERINGKnowing the person who cares for your vehicle matters. So does knowing they remember every curve, every finish, and every expectation.
Your Private Detailer is built for a deliberately small circle of owners who want a more personal standard of maintenance. I get to know your vehicle first, then recommend care that makes sense for the way you drive and live.
One point of contact. Thoughtful scheduling. Attention that never feels rushed.
DISCOVER THE FIRST VISIT
A thorough introduction to your vehicle, your priorities, and the care it deserves.
More than a quick cleaning, this first appointment allows me to thoughtfully address the vehicle's presentation, get to know its condition, and discuss the best path toward preserving it.
Considered exterior care and presentation
Attentive interior refresh
Personal walkaround and future-care conversation
Service scope and vehicle condition are discussed before booking. Paint correction, ceramic coating, and specialty work are assessed and quoted separately.
BEGIN WITH YOUR VEHICLE ↗One familiar person who knows your vehicle and respects your schedule, driveway, and trust.
Recommendations that begin with the condition of your car, not a menu of unnecessary add-ons.
Individual visits that build on one another, helping the vehicle stay cared for through every season.
THE REAL NIGHTSHADE · A PERSONAL STANDARD“Owning a black vehicle in and of itself will force you to become a detailer.”
Black paint tells the truth. Every reflection, every touch, every overlooked detail. Living with it taught me patience, restraint, and a deeper respect for finish care.
THE STANDARD BEHIND YOUR PRIVATE DETAILERMy own vehicles, behind-the-scenes moments, and the marques I admire. As private client work is completed and approved for sharing, this collection will continue to grow.



Images in this opening gallery feature personal vehicles and enthusiast photography; they are not presented as paid client results. More original detailing projects are on the way.
Not a membership. Not a revolving door of appointments. A thoughtfully selected roster of up to 14 vehicles whose owners value familiar, attentive care.
Ideally, clients plan for $1,000 or more across four individually scheduled visits, beginning with the $350 Signature Discovery Wash. Each subsequent service is recommended and priced for that particular vehicle. No subscription or automatic charges.
INQUIRE ABOUT PRIVATE CARE ↗Fewer vehicles.
More familiarity.
Better attention.
For me, caring for cars was personal long before it was a business.
I have always loved the design, feel, and character of a well-kept automobile — from the Toyotas I have driven for years to my enduring admiration for Porsche.
When my daughters were young, washing the family 4Runner was something we did together. It was a little lesson in pride of ownership, patience, and taking care of the things that matter.
These days Murphy occasionally rides along as a reminder that even the most carefully kept vehicle is meant to be enjoyed.
Your Private Detailer grew out of those years of genuine enthusiasm. I hope to bring that same care, consistency, and good-natured attention to yours.
Because to me, detailing has always been personal.

Tell me what you drive, where you're located, and what great care would look like to you. I'll respond personally about the right next step.
