Meet Dave Knox

20 years Navy. 36 years detailing. One standard.

Dave is the owner, the operator, and the only person who will ever touch your vehicle. He's a retired US Navy Watch Commander — 20 years of military discipline — and a Rightlook-certified professional detailer and reconditioning specialist, working Oahu since 1990.

He's also a certified mechanic. While he details, he'll spot the worn brakes, the tired battery, the AC that's about to quit — and tell you straight.

"I take a lot of pride in the work I do and will not sell you a service you don't need. My customers are my reputation. That simple."

His work truck? A 3-time car-show-winning Chevy he rebuilt himself. He confesses to "Obsessive Compulsive Detailing Disorder." Your car is the beneficiary.

— The one-car-a-day guy since 1990

Questions Dave Hears A Lot

Straight answers

Because a 2-door compact garaged its whole life and a sun-baked SUV with red-dirt carpets are not the same job. Dave evaluates your vehicle's size and condition, then quotes you a real number — no surprises, no upsells mid-job. He'll match any Oahu mobile detailer's price for equivalent professional work.
Because a real detail takes 3–6 hours done right, and rushing to the next appointment is how corners get cut. Your car gets 100% of the day. That's the whole point.
Dave is usually elbow-deep in someone's vehicle — he'd rather give your car his full attention than answer the phone with a buffer running. Send the form and he personally calls you back, usually the same day, with real answers and a real quote.
Properly maintained, the wax/sealant protection from a full detail lasts 5 months to a year. Anyone promising a "2–5 year wax" is selling you the same shelf that has color-matched scratch-hiding wax on it. Do the research — Dave will happily talk detail.
Yes, yes, and yes — Dave details motorcycles, boats and small aircraft, and he's been building and modifying his own machines since the early '80s.
