Apex isn't a franchise. It isn't a fleet. It's a single person who loves cars more than he should, working out of a custom-built mobile rig.
I started detailing at sixteen, washing trade-ins at a used-car lot off McDowell. By twenty I had moved to a Scottsdale European dealer, running their pre-delivery prep bay — eight Porsches, two Bentleys, and the occasional R8 every week, and a laser-thin window to make every one of them feel new again before the customer walked in.
Nine years of that taught me two things. First, that there is a real, specific, repeatable process to getting a car to a level the average wash will never touch. And second, that I would rather work on one car a day really well than ten cars a day badly.
Apex started in 2022 as a side gig on Saturdays — three of my old dealer customers asked if I'd come to them. Three turned into thirty in the first year, and by 2024 I'd built out the rig, gone full-time, and stopped taking dealer work entirely. Today it's just me, a Sprinter van full of equipment, and a calendar that runs about three weeks deep.
If you book me, you get me. Not a subcontractor. Not a "manager." Me, in your driveway, taking my time on your car.
Self-contained: 80-gallon water tank, 3500W generator, on-board power, lighting, twin polishers, two extractors, a heated steam unit, and enough microfiber to start a small fire.
80gal soft-water tank with on-board pressure pump. Dual battery + 3500W inverter generator (whisper quiet). I never need anything from your house.
Rupes 21 Mark III + Mark II for two-stage corrections. Flex PE14 for tight panels. Lake Country, Buff & Shine, and Rupes pads in every cut.
Vapamore commercial steamer (300°F) for the deep interior. Mytee Lite extractor for upholstery + carpet. Dual HEPA shop vacs for everything else.
