THE JOURNEY

From a 10-year-old kid with a dream to over 25 years of mastering the craft

THE BEGINNING

THE BEGINNING

At just 10 years old, I started helping my brother detail cars. My mother had OCD-level cleaning standards - she'd clean floorboards with Q-tips. That attention to detail became part of my DNA. I couldn't walk past a dirty car without wanting to make it shine.

THE DETAIL GUY

THE DETAIL GUY

Throughout my teen years, I was known as 'the detail guy.' I detailed everything - BMX bikes, classic cars, anything with a surface. While other kids were playing video games, I was perfecting my craft on every car I could get my hands on.

JAYCLEAN IS BORN

JAYCLEAN IS BORN

After 12 years as an auto technician, I founded JayClean Auto Detailing. My vision was simple: take worn-out things and make them look new again. I started treating every car the same, whether it was a Honda or a Ferrari. That philosophy built trust with customers who became family.

"I treat customer cars like they're all Ferraris"

TODAY

MASTER CRAFTSMAN

MASTER CRAFTSMAN

25+ years later, I'm still excited every morning. I intentionally scaled back to give each car the attention it deserves - paint corrections can take 30+ hours. I'm constantly trying new techniques, always improving. The greatest thing? Having customers come in with their kids, then years later, those kids bring their own cars.

"I'm a craftsman... constantly trying to get better"

THE PHILOSOPHY

EVERY CAR IS A FERRARI

UNDERSELL & OVERPERFORM

I'd rather surprise you with results than make promises I can't keep. Your expectations should always be exceeded, never just met.

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

I intentionally scaled back to give each car the attention it deserves. Paint corrections can take 30+ hours. That's the level of care I bring.

ALWAYS IMPROVING

I'm constantly trying new techniques and products. After 25+ years, I'm still learning. That's what being a craftsman means.

CUSTOMERS BECOME FAMILY

The greatest thing is having customers come in with their kids, then years later, those kids bring their own cars. That's trust.

"This community isn't just where I work – it's home. Born and raised in Northeast Ohio, I'm proud to serve the people who've supported me for over two decades."

I don't just detail cars - I live and breathe them. Here are some of the classics I've owned and restored over the years.

When I'm not perfecting paint finishes, you might find me searching for Sasquatch in the Ohio woods or watching Star Wars for the hundredth time. Attention to detail matters everywhere - whether you're spotting Bigfoot or finding every imperfection on a car's surface.
