Problems We Solve
Where the pain usually is
You lose a half day driving for one missing product
We keep compounds, polishes, coatings, pads, towels and dressings on the floor. Call ahead, we'll set it on the counter, and you're back in the bay before your next appointment.
Online orders arrive after the job is booked
Free counter pickup is available in North Austin. Local delivery to our five approved Texas cities arrives in 2–5 business days, Monday–Friday excluding holidays.
You're guessing which polish and pad combo works
We run the products we sell. Tell us the paint and the defect and we'll hand you a combination that works — and you can buy a single bottle to prove it first.
Case pricing only shows up at giant minimums
Our pricing is built around what a working detailer actually moves in a month, not a pallet minimum from a national distributor.
Cheap towels and pads eat your margin
We stock microfiber, buff pads and applicators that survive real production cycles instead of shredding after a week.
Central Texas water leaves spots on every finish
We carry the decon, clay, acid-safe cleaners and drying aids that handle hard-water mineral spotting, plus advice on process.
Gallon-Size Products
Start with what fits your workload
These products note gallon availability in the catalog. Shop the listed products for your garage or business, and call the counter to confirm 5-gallon availability and bulk pricing as your workload grows.
