Parker's Project Spotlight: Detailing Stories

We often get asked while washing or prepping vehicles for coatings if we clay bar vehicles. The short answer is no, we do not. We have used them occasionally for extreme examples of vehicles that have artillery fungus, tree sap, or heavy road tar and paint, but this is not a phase of prep that we use for regular maintenance washes...

We've had an incredible summer and are still riding that wave of work as we go into cooler weather, so thank you everyone for the work! We have a couple of services we have been getting a lot of questions about that would be beneficial to cover.

Mold

We've been getting a lot of calls regarding mold in vehicles due to all of the rain over the past few weeks, and it is taking some time to get to everyone. If you're on the waiting list, PLEASE try to dry out the interior using a drying aid such as a fan. We've seen cars go from zero mold to completely covered in white mold in less that 72 hours, so please do what you can to keep it dry until it can be professionally cleaned. Keeping the vehicle in your garage with the doors open can help ventilate the interior as well.

We've been cruising along and staying busy thanks to all of you guys! We are currently in the works with a few new products that we will be offering in the coming weeks. We recently upgraded our carpet machine with a new more powerful heated unit and are experimenting with a new ceramic coating that is getting durability tested.

This is also an ideal time of year to get a your vehicle polished and ceramic coated for those folks who have been holding off with the pollen season! Also keep in mind this is the time of year where everyone's cars get dirty from trips to the beach and interiors take the brunt of the little ones goldfish, so please keep in mind that we will get you on the schedule as soon as humanly possible!

It's spring time folks! And pollen season is officially here!

With cars starting to turn yellow over the next few weeks, we get a lot of questions regarding keeping vehicles clean for longer. We definitely encourage getting a sealant or ceramic coating applied. While your paint will still get dirty, hydrophobic coatings help with both keeping the pollen off longer, and make the pollen easier to rinse off when the accumulation is high.

WOW what an awesome winter detailing season we've had!

Y'all have kept us SO BUSY, and we could not be more grateful. January was our best month on record, which is unheard of in the detailing industry. Thanks to you all, we've been able to upgrade supplies, equipment, and invest in training to help better serve our clients!

Another year down!

2023 was so kind to our company. With our first fiscal year on the books, we had some HUGE milestones. None of this would have been possible without the support of from our incredible clients, and we look forward to another year of growth at Parker's Diamond Detailing! Below are a few of the challenges and accomplishments we've had over the past 365 days, as well as some of our favorite photos from the year. Here's to 2024!

This was one of those landmark details!

We had the pleasure of working with both an incredible owner and a very unique car. This is a 1966 Ford Galaxie 7 Litre that has spent most of its recent life being shuttled on a trailer from car show to car show, and had never had a proper polish and correction procedure in 20 years. This paint was in wonderful shape from being kept inside, but did not have that "wow" factor that is needed to win shows. We spent 12 hours cutting and polishing the paint, and got the paint looking better than it ever has. It was very hard to pick just a few photos to share with you all, so we will for sure be posting a few more over the next few days.

Here's to another fantastic month of detailing!

October treated us very well and we were able to take full advantage of some of the new tools and products we've recently acquired, like our new foam cannon system and our new exterior sealant products! Both really improve the quality of our exterior wash and increase the shine and protection compared to our outgoing sealants. We also had dozens of beautiful interior details that came out flawless, and our very first Rivian R1 detail!

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for all the kind words and support regarding our Anniversary. Y'all are the reason we've been successful, and we have only our clients to thank.

We've been getting a lot of questions regarding a complete breakdown of all of the services we offer. We are currently working on updating our website to include this comprehensive list:

1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!

Posting just a few days early of our actual anniversary, but we were just too excited to wait! After a full year of detailing, we can say that we are fortunate enough to still be in business. Our business literally started with just two buckets, a hose, an extension cord, and a house vacuum. We now offer 15 different services!
