While passing a construction zone in Montana on a cross-country road trip, our 2017 BMW was covered in a fine spray of asphalt emulsion tar emitted from a construction vehicle laying sealant on a new road. Knowing we had a 24 hour planned stop in Minneapolis to see friends before carrying on with our trip, I quickly contacted Derek at DTailed and he was more than happy to have a look at our vehicle late in the day when we first got into town. After scoping the work, he graciously accommodated our one day turnaround request to remove the tar and polish the exterior. Bottom line, we couldn’t be happier with his work. He restored the car to a better condition than when we bought it a year ago. In addition, he was willing to stay extra late to make sure the work was done, exceeding our standards and ensuring we were able to carry on with our roadtrip with no delays. Derek was professional, gracious, and extremely accommodating. I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing exterior detailing work done on their vehicle.

My car is nearing 30 years old, the paint was rough. I knew it needed someone with passion and care to bring it back. I asked around the BMW community, Derek’s name came up almost every time! I couldn’t be more pleased with his services. My car looks like it did back in the 90’s. The gloss it has, the depth, the sealant is all top shelf quality. When I wash my car now, the dirt just falls off it’s really unbelievable. I’m still smiling ear to ear when I look at my car in the garage 3 weeks later. Take a look at my pictures and the reflection it has. So so good. Thanks Derek!

I cannot recommend bringing your vehicle to D’Tailed enough!!! Derek is very very passionate and thorough, he offered a consultation where he performed a paint measurement while doing a walk around discussing the condition of the paint with me, and he did a couple test spots to show me what the results of different stages of paint correction will look like compared to how the car was in the beginning. (Picture of the test spots attached to show how good he really is) I cannot stress enough how he took such amazing care of my car, the paint was looking really cloudy and sad. He was able to make it look almost new again without going so deep into it that it could cause damage, and then he ceramic coated it for a true protection, and on a Mazda with thin and easily damaged paint that is an incredible achievement! He don’t miss a thing either, I was shocked that he even cleaned up the inside of my car when I opened the door to get into it, and when I got gas a few days later I saw he even made where the gas nozzle goes look like it’s a new car! If you’re looking for someone who’s fairly priced but actually cares about you and your car, this is the one and only spot I would ever want to

Derek has detailed a few of my cars; from a giant Navigator to an old 240sx. He is kind, shows up in a timely fashion, and most importantly does amazing work! The before and after is always impressive. When I need something from my fleet detailed, he's number one on my list

Not only did Derek restore my old BMW from a gray car back to a black one, but he gave me advice on how to maintain the paint’s condition and take full advantage of the ceramic coat he gave it. He was very accommodating of my work schedule, and answered my questions quickly and accurately. My girlfriend and I are now planning on taking her Nissan to him and maybe someday the tired old Land Rover.
