The process

Six steps. No shortcuts.

This is how a Mike's detail goes from dirty to dripping — and why it lasts.

Step 01 / 06

Detailed Wash

  1. 1

    Detailed Wash

    Foam, contact wash, wheels, tires, jambs. Every panel, by hand.

  2. 2

    Mechanical Decontamination

    Clay pulls bonded contamination out of the paint so it feels like glass.

  3. 3

    Chemical Decontamination

    Iron and fallout remover dissolves what clay can't reach.

  4. 4

    Compound (if needed)

    Only when the paint needs it — and only when the clear coat can afford it.

  5. 5

    Polish

    Refine to a deep, wet, mirror finish.

  6. 6

    Ceramic Coating

    Lock it in with IGL protection that lasts.

  • “Mike is the best, great personality, great customer service, very professional, and very knowledgeable! He ceramic coated my 86 monte carlo SS and made it look like it came straight off the show room floor… He kept his word on the time limit and kept me informed every step of the way via text, calls, and video. He is the one and only person I will trust with detailing…”

Meet Mike

Hey, I'm Mike. Come holla.

I started Mike's Automotive Detailing in 2020 and I run it full time. A thousand-plus details later, we just opened our own shop on Point Lookout Rd in Leonardtown — hex lights, the whole thing.

I'm an IGL Coatings Certified Installer and a LowGlow Certified Dealer & Installer, and I know electrical. Every install looks factory: clean connections, no exposed components anywhere.

And I'll give it to you straight. On a 2025 Z06 with GM's thin factory clear coat, I recommended a polish instead of a heavy cut — so the owner keeps that clear for UV protection down the road. I won't upsell you into damage.

We love when customers come in and chat. Stop by for questions, quotes, products — or just to talk cars.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Don't see yours? Text Mike — he answers.

What's the difference between a sealant and a ceramic coating?

Think of it as a ladder. Our 3-month paint & exterior sealant adds gloss, water repellency and winter protection. The 6–9 month ceramic sealant lasts longer. The IGL Professional 4-year ceramic coating is the top tier — the longest-lasting protection, and it can go on everything.

Are you IGL certified?

Yes. We're an IGL Coatings Dealer & Certified Installer.

Can you coat wheels, glass, PPF and the engine bay?

Yes — everything: paint, glass, PPF, wheels, door jambs, engine bay, carbon fiber, trim and plastics.

Do you do paint correction on thin factory clear coat?

Yes — carefully. On a 2025 Z06 with GM's thin factory clear, Mike recommended a polish instead of a heavy cut so the owner keeps clear coat for future UV protection. We'll always recommend the safest option that gets the result.

Will your lighting install look factory?

That's the whole point. Clean connections and no exposed components anywhere — we go the extra mile so installs don't cause long-term issues.

Can I just buy a LowGlow kit?

Yes. Buy a kit, get a kit installed, or both. We're a LowGlow Certified Dealer & Installer.

Can I hear the audio before I buy?

Yes! Come in and play whatever song you'd like.

Do you remove tint?

Yes, tint removal starts at $20 per window.

Can I drop my car off before work?

Yes. Plenty of customers drop off in the morning and pick up after work — the shop opens at 7:00 AM on weekdays.

Do you detail fleets and work trucks?

Yes. We've kept a local fleet spotless since 2022. Call or text to set up a schedule.
