About CL Detailz

I got my start buying and selling cars at the auction. Every car I sold, without fail, people always commented on the same thing — how clean it was. How the paint shined. How the rims looked. Never the engine, never the transmission. Always the detail.

That's when it hit me. Nobody around here was doing this the right way — and it was obvious to every single person who bought a car from me. CL Detailz was built on that moment. If people noticed that much on a car I was just selling, imagine what a dedicated detail could do for yours.

Built From Experience. Driven By Detail.

It Started With Auction Cars

I got my start buying and selling cars at local auctions around New Orleans. Every single time I sold a vehicle, people noticed the same thing first — not the engine, not the transmission, not the mileage.

They noticed how clean it was.

How glossy the paint looked.
How the rims shined.
How fresh the interior smelled.
How the entire vehicle stood out from everything around it.

That’s when I realized something important:

Detailing changes the way people see a vehicle.

And honestly, I also realized that most people around here weren’t doing it the right way.


From Childhood Car Washes To Building A Brand

Long before CL Detailz became a business, I was already around this type of work. I worked at a car wash when I was around 9 or 10 years old and never thought much of it at the time.

I would’ve never guessed that years later this would become my career and passion.

Growing up, I moved around all throughout the New Orleans area, which helped me connect with different people, neighborhoods, and communities across the city.

Born in Metairie

Lived in the 6th Ward and attended Phillis Wheatley

Stayed Uptown in the 3rd Ward and attended Wilson Elementary

Moved to the 5th Ward and attended Morris Jeff and McDonogh 28

After Katrina, attended Bunch Middle School and Bonnabel High School in Kenner

Because of those experiences, CL Detailz was built with roots all across New Orleans — not just one neighborhood.


Trusted By Major Businesses & Dealerships

Over the years, CL Detailz has grown into more than just a local detailing company.

We’ve become trusted vendors for businesses, dealerships, and commercial properties that rely on us when quality matters and the job needs to get done right.

We’ve worked with:

CarMax

Sam’s Club

Ford Dealerships

Chevy Dealerships

Trader Joe’s

Barnes & Noble

Commercial properties throughout the New Orleans area

Some of these projects involved pressure washing and property maintenance, while others involved high-volume vehicle detailing operations.


Over 5,000 Vehicles Detailed With CarMax

One of the biggest parts of our journey has been working with CarMax.

Over the years, we’ve detailed and lot-washed thousands of vehicles — easily over 5,000 cars.

That meant:

Rinsing down inventory

Hand drying vehicles

Cleaning interiors

Preparing vehicles for sale

Keeping entire lots presentation-ready for customers

That experience helped us build the systems, consistency, and attention to detail we still bring into every single job today.


More Than Just A Car Wash

At CL Detailz, we believe detailing is more than just making a vehicle look clean for a few days.

It’s about:

Restoring pride in your vehicle

Protecting your investment

Maintaining long-term value

Delivering results people immediately notice

Whether it’s:

Interior detailing

Paint correction

Ceramic coating

Scratch removal

Pressure washing

Commercial cleaning

We approach every project with the same mindset that started this company years ago:

The Details Matter.

frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Relock Express, Beadlock Pro, and Beadlock Black?

These are three different ceramic coating formulas at different protection levels. Relock Express is our entry level 12-month coating — great for drivers who want real ceramic protection at an accessible price. Beadlock Pro is our most popular formula, delivering 2 to 4 years of deep gloss and strong hydrophobic protection. Beadlock Black is our top tier coating — a high solids ultra durable formula that protects for up to 7 years. The longer the protection, the more durable the coating.

Do I need paint correction before ceramic coating?

Ceramic coating bonds directly to whatever surface is underneath it — which means it permanently locks in any swirls, scratches, or oxidation that are already there. If your paint has visible defects, correction before coating will give you dramatically better results. That's exactly why our Signature and Elite Black packages include paint correction as part of the bundle.

How do I maintain my ceramic coating after it's applied?

Avoid automatic car washes with brushes — they will scratch your coating over time. Stick to a two bucket hand wash method using a pH neutral shampoo. Avoid harsh chemicals on the paint. Come back to us once a year for an Annual Coating Refresh service to keep your coating performing at its best and extend its life.

Is ceramic coating worth it in New Orleans?

Absolutely. Between the UV index, the humidity, the acid rain, and the salt air near the lake and river, New Orleans is one of the hardest environments for automotive paint in the country. Ceramic coating is one of the best long term investments you can make in your vehicle's appearance and resale value. Drivers who coat their cars here see a dramatic difference compared to those relying on wax alone.

Do you bring your own water and power?

Yes — our van is fully self-contained. We carry fresh water, a power generator, and all professional equipment on board. You don't need to provide a hose, an outlet, or anything else. Just tell us where your car is and we'll handle everything from there.

Do you offer drop-off service?

Yes — if you prefer to drop your vehicle off, we accept drop-offs at 1 Galleria Blvd, Metairie, 6th floor parking garage. Just schedule in advance.

How long does the ceramic coating process take?

It depends on the service. A basic wash can take under an hour. A full ceramic coating with paint correction can take a full day. We'll give you an honest time estimate when you book.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Zelle, and cash.

Do you do pet hair removal?

Yes — pet hair removal is available as an add-on service for $29 to $75 depending on the severity. Heavily embedded pet hair takes significant time and is priced accordingly. We assess before we quote so there are no surprises.
