Why I Embrace the Toughest Detailing Jobs

Zeb Alford • June 2, 2025

We Enjoy a Challenge

One of the things I enjoy most about running my detailing business is taking on challenging and unique projects. Whether it’s a car that hasn’t been cleaned in years, a vehicle with heavy pet hair, or someone preparing their classic ride for a car show—I love the variety. These types of jobs push me to think differently, improve my skills, and stay sharp. Every car tells a story, and the tough ones often have the most rewarding transformations.



Tackling the hard jobs helps me grow not just as a detailer, but as a business owner. I learn new techniques, try out better tools, and refine the process each time. More importantly, it allows me to help more people—people who may have been turned away elsewhere or told their car is "too far gone." I believe that every vehicle deserves to look its best, no matter its current condition.


Working on these kinds of projects also keeps things exciting. No two jobs are ever the same, and that keeps me motivated. I don’t want to be a cookie-cutter business doing the same thing every day. I want to be the company people call when they need someone who’s not afraid of a challenge. It’s those experiences that really set us apart.


At the end of the day, helping someone fall back in love with their car is what makes all the effort worth it. And that’s exactly the kind of reputation I want to build—one car at a time.
