How It Started

Lifestyle Detailing began the simple way—at home, with a bucket, a shop vac, and a conviction that there’s a right way to care for a car. Early on, every job was a chance to learn, test, and refine. I studied modern wash techniques, safe chemicals, and paint systems because I hated the idea of “quick and harsh.” The mission was different: be precise, be respectful of the materials, and leave every vehicle better than we found it.

That mindset followed me through a season working under palm trees in Florida. The pace was fast, the standards were high, and the sunshine made the work feel like art. But home called. Back in West Michigan, I wanted to build something that combined big-city professionalism with Midwest character: show up on time, communicate clearly, and deliver elite results without the hassle of a car-wash line. The palm tree stuck as our symbol—a reminder to bring warmth, hospitality, and pride to everything we do.

Today, Lifestyle Detailing is a fully equipped mobile service trusted by drivers across Grand Rapids. We carry our own water and power, protect interiors and paint with the right products, and offer ceramic coatings that keep vehicles cleaner, longer. What started in a driveway has become a dependable, on-site experience built on prayer, persistence, and a real love for the craft. If you value clean work, honest guidance, and finishes that hold up, you’ll feel right at home with us.
