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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
