Most people think a spray bottle is just a spray bottle. In the detailing industry, we know that's not true. A quality sprayer can improve chemical performance, create better foam, increase efficiency, and stand up to the harsh chemicals professionals use every day. That's why so many detailers rely on IK Sprayers.

With more than 60 years of spraying experience, IK has built a reputation for developing professional-grade sprayers designed specifically for demanding industries. Thank you to IK Sprayers for sponsoring the 2026 Air Force One Detailing Team and Detailing Success Auto Detailing Training & Mentoring. We're proud to have IK as part of the team.

In California, we're fortunate to enjoy some of the best top-down driving weather in the country. From coastal cruises to weekend road trips, convertible owners spend a lot of time with the top down. Unfortunately, all that sun, UV exposure, salt air, and environmental fallout can take a toll on convertible tops over time.

A big thank you to Wolfsteins PRO Series - RaggTopp for sponsoring the 2026 Air Force One Detailing Team and Success Auto Detailing Training & Mentoring. For years, RAGGTOPP has helped owners and professionals protect and maintain convertible tops, keeping them looking their best and extending their service life.

We're proud to have companies like RAGGTOPP supporting the detailing industry and helping make preservation projects like this possible. Thank you for being part of the team.

This year’s Air Force One Detailing Team project at the The Museum of Flight would not be possible without the companies supporting the industry behind the scenes.

A big thank you to PDP -PDP Professional Detailing Products for being one of the sponsors helping make this event happen. Their continued support of Detailing Success Auto Detailing Training & Mentoring, the detailing community, education, and preservation efforts plays a major role in projects like this.

I don't always coat with the door shut. But when I do, I protect myself 😷⚠️

When I first received the SLO Tribune Best of SLO award in 2021, it caught me off guard. It was not even on my radar. I never thought people would vote for me, let alone enough to earn local recognition. That moment showed me I was moving in the right direction. I have always put quality and customer satisfaction above everything else. Receiving the award again for the 5th time in 2026 shows me that I have not lost those core values. Another BIG thank you to everyone who has supported me, believed in me, and voted. I share this with you! 🫶🏼

Can you see what I'm pointing at? My fingers are right at it.. The last picture shows it best, and I really had to focus to get that shot. That's the paint protection film line. I just finished installing a partial front end. Which is roughly 40% of the hood with equal coverage across the fenders, and full front bumper.

I bring this up because not too long ago this line was more than obvious. It just plain looked bad. Nowadays, PPF has come a long way and you really have to look for this line of where the paint ends, and the film begins. If you didn't know what you were looking for, you might even look right past it. Gone are the days of bad looking obvious film lines.

Most detail shops clean your car, we document it.

At West Coast Detailing, every service will now be reported to CARFAX. That means your vehicle history shows real care, not just repairs. CARFAX has been around since 1984. It’s one of the most trusted sources people check before buying a car. When your detailing is on that report, it shows the vehicle was looked after the right way.
This matters more than people think.

If you ever sell your car, buyers can see:
Ceramic Coating Protection✅
Paint Protection Film ✅
Window Tinting✅
Regularly Scheduled Detailing✅

It helps your vehicle stand out. It shows pride of ownership. Because clean is one thing.
Proven care is another.

Before I started doing paint protection film, I would always recommend that it was the best protection from rock chips and impact on anything facing forward. And that hasn't changed. A full front end PPF is just that. Anything and everything on the front end that faces forward. Bumper, fenders, hood, & mirrors. Those areas get the most abuse while commuting. While the template cut out is easy to do on the other pieces, it is simpler to bulk a hood. Which means taking a large piece of film, placing it over the hood, and trimming it to fit.

MTE 2026 is a wrap! This was my first time attending this convention and I must say I will be back next year! It's always a pleasure to meet up and talk with like-minded business owners in the detailing industry. Saw some familiar faces and got to meet new ones. That's what it's all about!
