ShoreShine Detail Co.

Born Into Cars.
Built for This.

I didn't get into detailing from a YouTube tutorial. I grew up in it. My family was the automotive business — my sister ran a dealership with a body shop and paint booth, my brother owned a repair shop, my dad drove for a living. I spent my childhood between the service bay and the showroom floor.

My first job — if you can call it that at middle school age — was prepping cars for delivery at the dealership. Cleaning, polishing, making them look like they just rolled off the line. That moment of transformation hooked me early. Over the years I helped with post-paint polishing, paint correction, and full details on trade-ins before they hit the showroom.

I went on to study urban planning, built a career as a city planner here in Slidell, and cars took a back seat for a while. But the itch never left. ShoreShine is me bringing it back — not as a side hustle, but as something I care about deeply and want to do right.

I work alone. I'm slower than a production shop. I'm a perfectionist — I won't wrap up a job unless I'm proud of it. Every car I detail, I treat like my own. That's not a marketing line. It's just how I'm wired.

I use Koch-Chemie exclusively — the same German professional-grade products used by high-end studios. I include steps that most detailers skip or charge extra for, because I know from experience that they matter.
