Dianna - '19 Navigator

"I expected my vehicle to be clean, but it is beyond clean! Seriously, my Navigator looks like it is new, straight off the dealer's lot!
The inside is immaculate (not greased over with auto cleaner). He used a ceramic coating on the exterior after cleaning and polishing it and it looks gorgeous!
Jake is gifted at what he does and communicates well with reminders and regarding his detailing strategy! I am so happy with my detailing investment! I highly recommend Jake for your detailing needs!"

Verlyn - '69 GTX

"I talked to Jake about doing a ceramic coating on my 69 GTX. He came over the same day to inspect the finish and then went back to checked with his product distributor to see which one would work the best for my car. He called back promptly with a recommendation and we setup a time for me to drop off the car. The whole experience was very professional and he got my car done in record time. It looks amazing and I can hardly wait for my next indoor show to display the new finish. I would highly recommend his business to anyone!"

Alicha - '23 Genesis

"Amazing experience! He earned bonus points to take the time, before I was even a customer, to respond quickly to and answer all of my questions!

My car looked meticulous! The attention to detail was unmatched! I couldn’t believe my new car could be look even more beautiful than the day I bought it, but it did!

Highly recommend Shining Armour out of Detroit Lakes!!!!!"

Mike - '66 Mustang

"I brought my restored 1966 Ford Mustang to Jake and was blown away with what he can do. His attention to detail is way beyond professional. Zero corners are cut in everything he does. Looking at the work he does I had a pretty good idea the Mustang would come back good but I had no idea it would come back this amazing. He definitely has me as a long term customer and I would recommend him to anyone. Your vehicle is in the very best hands at Shining Armour."
