Lightning Auto, Boat & RV Detail

Specialties

The big, tough jobs that our competitors can’t, or won’t do; RVs, boats, 5^th wheel and travel trailers, big rig trucks and trailers, aircraft, and even construction equipment.

We also specialize in detailing dark colored cars, and we are able to do them virtually swirl free.

Is your boat or RV oxidized/​faded? We’ll bring it back to life. We use chemicals that are designed specifically for fiberglass, and won’t use the same chemicals that we use on your car’s paint. Will the «discount amateurs» say the same thing?

We also clean engines and engine compartments in cars, trucks, boats, and RV’s, and do them as environmentally clean and safe as possible.

History

Established in 1989.

I started detailing for Cosmetic Car Care in 1984 for $ 5.50 an hour. This company had contracts with many major auto manufacturers to get their new cars ready for shows at many major convention centers around the country, and I traveled extensively to help get over 100 cars at a time, show-​ready as fast, and as perfect as possible. This company also detailed privately owned cars and a small number of RVs and boats. I was the person who did most of the engine cleanings, and I learned to love doing it more than any other aspect of detailing.

I briefly worked for a detail shop in Huntington beach, who’s owner/​operator was completely clueless, and in my opinion, an absolute hack. From him, I learned what NOT to do.

My last job before going out on my own was for Garden Grove Nissan. There, I had a free hand to do as I pleased, and made my final plan to go out on my own in November of 1989. I’ve never looked back.
