Detailing Shop Tour!

Last year we completely gutted and renovated our garage to turn it into an auto detailing "studio." Check out the final result and see how we organize everything to keep it clean and efficient!

What size is this shop , thanks

[@high-defdetailing1485]

It's 18' by 22'

[@pleasemanpoo]

what kind of led lights do you use. Im looking for something similar for my garage

[@high-defdetailing1485]

These are the Barina ones from amazon. They're pretty cheap but have held up well! I really like how easy they are to link together and don't require any fancy wiring. Just plug and play.

[@pleasemanpoo]

@@high-defdetailing1485 Thank you!

Where do we the water drain

[@jerryguillaume6435]

I like your setup not only because it's a combination of my favorite colors it also the color of my detailing brand. I will rewatch this video when I'm ready to build my garage.

[@high-defdetailing1485]

Thanks! It worked well and I always go compliments from customers on the flooring and color scheme. Good luck on your garage build!

[@tiendang4916]

Looks awesome! Do you have to do paperwork or anything about permits from town to build the detailing shop on your own garage?

[@high-defdetailing1485]

Thank you! I didn't have to do any sort of permits or paperwork in my area as far as the remodeling was concerned. You may have different property tax requirements for having your business at home though. If I put a drain in the garage I'd have to get permits etc.

What is your GO to for black trim

[@high-defdetailing1485]

Solution finish is fantastic for restoring faded trim. I like Gtechniq C4 coating for protection and looks!

[@Narcissist_Police]

Links to the lights would have been nice

How large is your garage?

It's pretty small actually at around 18' W x 22' D if I recall. All about maximizing space!

What paint did you use for your walls?

[@high-defdetailing1485]

I believe it was just an interior eggshell white from Menards. I’m going to redo it with a grey next year with Behr or Sherwin Williams paint. It’s much better quality.

[@macdetails5303]

@@high-defdetailing1485 yea I’m debating between white and grey as I’m planning on doing my garage over the winter. I have a Sherman Williams around the corner from me too. I do wash with my pressure washer in the garage though so trying to find the best paint to repel moisture

[@high-defdetailing1485]

@@macdetails5303 I would recommend a semi-gloss paint in that case and 2 to 3 coats. Some people use exterior paint but I stick with interior. Best of luck!

How did you get accredited from your home?

[@high-defdetailing1485]

As long as your workspace is climate controlled and looks professional you should have no issues getting accredited by any major ceramic coating company. I've had many people say my home space is much nicer then the majority of retail shop locations around here.

[@agrmagiccardetailing3176]

Woow. I like your detailing shop😘😘 My deam also ..

What’s up man nice shop. any links to the things in the shop? Thanks

[@high-defdetailing1485]

Thanks! That would be quite the long list of links 😂 I will say that most of my lighting is from Amazon, all the craftsman cabinets are from Lowe’s, floor was special/custom ordered, and all of my detailing supplies are from multiple companies and vendors.

[@DavidM-qx9bt]

Looks awesome! Where do you wash in the wintertime?

[@high-defdetailing1485]

Thank you! I still wash in the garage but use a rinseless wash technique since I don’t have a drain.

[@waxmanvids5015]

@@high-defdetailing1485 I do not have a drain in my 20x20 garage either.. I still wash vehicles in there all the time using conventional and rinseless methods also. that is why I am so excited to get swisstrax soon so that I don't ddrag hoses and cords etc. across across small water puddles and eliminate the need for squeegee out the pad as most of the water drains out into the driveway pretty well

Nice job on your shop. I’m looking to get a home detailing biz started, definitely need to organize the garage. You made good use of your space. Btw, what’s your ceiling height?

[@high-defdetailing1485]

Thank you! This update was probably done around my 3rd or 4th year in business. You can definitely make it happen with a basic space to start! Ceiling height is just above 8ft. Next space will hopefully be 10 or 12!

[@aio_hrndz1164]

Where did you get the flooring at and also the little vacuum that’s on the wall

[@BRunkel07]

The flooring is Swisstrax Ribtrax flooring. I love it! The 'vacuum' on the wall is actually a car dryer. It's by metrovac. It's great and really powerful...and really loud too haha

The dryer is awesome!
