Harley-Davidson CVO 121 cleaned up and looking right.

That deep blue and black paint with the red accents hits different when it’s dialed in properly. Chrome shining, paint popping, and every detail standing out the way it should.

When a bike is built like this, the finish matters just as much as the performance.

From gloss to satin aggression.

This Audi RS3 came in factory gloss green and left wrapped in full matte PPF — completely transforming the look while protecting the original paint underneath.

To take it even further, we added a Level 2 ceramic coating, enhancing durability, deepening the finish, and adding hydrophobic protection that repels water, dirt, and grime.

Matte protection. Long-term defense. Elevated finish.

Done right at The Shop Automotive Detailing.

Timeless lines, flawless finish. This classic came through The Shop Automotive Detailing and left looking better than the day it rolled off the line. From the deep gloss on that turquoise paint to the chrome shining like a mirror, every detail was treated with precision and respect. Old school style, restored with modern care — because classics deserve nothing less.

Audi RS3 protected the right way — wrapped in matte PPF for a bold satin finish and sealed with a Level 2 professional CQuartz coating for added depth and long-term protection. Performance meets precision, inside the shop and on the road.

Ram TRX in the shop for a full Level Three ceramic coating, taken all the way with wheels off for complete coverage. Built to be driven hard, protected the right way, and finished with attention where it actually matters.

So Fresh and So Clean

My name is Derek Marks and I am The Shop Automotive Detailing. I’ve been detailing cars since gas was $1.10 a gallon, Jerry Maguire said “show me the money!” for the first time and Tickle Me Elmo was the most sought after children's gift of the year. You guessed it, I’ve been making cars shine since 1996! In my 20 plus years in the detailing business I have had the opportunity to work with various chemicals, equipment, and mentors to perfect my craft. Along the way I expanded my expertise beyond just cars. I began to work on motorcycles, boats, and even commercial vehicles. I realized I have a natural talent when it comes to detailing.

In 2008 amidst the global financial crisis I decided to risk everything and start my own business. The Shop Automotive Detailing was the name and in September 2008 I had my very own 2 bay garage to detail in! Word got out and my business grew fast. So fast that after 6 months it was already time to expand and find a larger facility. As my business grew I began to assemble a team of passionate workers and make a name for ourselves.

After 5 years of hard work we were able to expand again. We moved to our current location. Now we’ve got 6000 sq/ft of work space. We have the only clean room for curing ceramic coat and showcasing our high quality product in the area! The past decade in business has taught me a great deal about the industry and allowed me to fine tune every aspect of my business. When you bring your vehicle to The Shop you get the best product, the best equipment and the best methods in the business leaving your vehicle looking better than brand new! So don’t bring your vehicle to just any detail shop. Bring it to The Shop Automotive detailing and experience the difference today!
