Leave Your Windows Down?

With all the wet weather we have had lately in middle Tennessee, it's no surprise that a few people have accidentally left their windows down.  Sounds like a mess, doesn't it?  If this has happened to you, don't worry.  It is messy, but we are pros at the cleanup.  Anytime a good rain happens overnight, we usually have several cars in this situation.  Here's the rundown on our game plan for rain-soaked interiors:

1) Extract, extract, extract!  We use our powerful Mytee carpet and upholstery extractors with a heated, mild cleaning solution to not only remove water, but to clean as we go.  The heat also starts killing any bacteria that has developed

2) Dry it out.  This step is crucial in the process.  The extraction removes water and debris from the carpet and the padding beneath, but it is important that we use heaters/dryers to completely dry the carpets and padding as well as the floor mats.  This will prevent any mildew from forming later

3) Kill Odors and Bacteria.  Once the carpet, upholster, and leather have been cleaned and dried, we want to make sure there wont be any bacteria forming that will cause that soggy, mildew, damp smell to show itself.  For this, we use an ozone treatment.  An ozone machine converts oxygen (O2) into Ozone (O3), an invisible gas that will literally suffocate out any living organisms. In the fibers of your vehicle's interior.  We use this same process for vehicles with smoke or biological odors such as spilled milk.

And that's it.  Pretty simple right?  And much less expensive than you might think.  If you get caught with your windows down, just give us a call.  We'll do the rest.

Driving In a Winter Wonderland

Have you heard?  It's winter....well, sort of.  The snow may be a little tardy this year, but we are still working like mad to prepare cars all over town for the sleet, snow, slush, ice, and of course, SALT that is to come.  This month's special is called "Driving In A Winter Wonderland," and it will protect your vehicle from the elements this season.

Here's the deal.  Purchase any exterior detail (which of course includes a solid wax and polish to not only add shine and luster, but will also protect from the toll salt and brine can take on your car's finish), and you get the following FREE:

Exterior Plastic Conditioner-  If your car has plastic trim that used to be dark and rich in color, but is not faded, greyish, and dull, then this is your answer.  This treatment which retails for $20-$70 depending on the amount of trim on the vehicle, will revitalize that plastic trim and will actually last for a long time to come.  This is especially nice on Jeeps and trucks that have a lot of plastic trim.


Window Polish- This product works as a water repellent to enhance your wet weather visibility.  Water, sleet, and snow will tend to slide right off the windshield clearing your view.  A $20 retail value, this treatment will last several months.  Caution, you may like this one a lot and want it every time you bring your car in!

Happy Driving, and be safe as the winter weather arrives!

Dream Garage

Wow.  It's not every day we get to care for cars like these.  Today, we had the pleasure of venturing to a very special "man cave" at the Nashville home of Mr. George Shinn.  We know him as the guy with some awesome classic cars, but you may be more familiar with him as the founder of the Charlotte (now New Orleans) Hornets basketball franchise.  Since he left the Hornets, Mr. Shinn has dedicated his time to his philanthropy, the Trulight Foundation.  George and his professional staff members Luis and Rich were kind enough to let us share some photos from today.

Today we prepared two stunning Chevy Bel Aire's -a two-tone silver and metallic grey flake '56, and a fire-engine red '55- for the Nashville Auto Fest.  The auto fest is a huge car show, swap meet, and otherwise gearhead event to take place this weekend at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds.  The other two vehicles we worked on today were a '37 Chevrolet Panel Wagon in a unique pale yellow, and a red '33 Ford Coupe, complete with electric hood and trunk as well as suicide doors.

We truly love our jobs at DTG, but days like today are special to us.  There is just something about cars from this vintage that remind us of a time when everything seemed right with the world.  They are conversation pieces.  People relate to the cars, like they might a favorite beer or a glass of wine.  They are immaculate sculpture inside and out, and a full sensory experience of color, texture, and of course, SOUND.




We hope you will take a few hours this weekend and go visit Luis and Rich at the Auto Fest.  Make sure to see all the tricks on that red Bel Aire, too.  It's truly incredible.  As a side note, it is our understanding that the silver and grey Bel Aire (our personal favorite) will be for sale.  This car has the mystique of a classic, but the suspension, engine, and creature comforts of a modern sports car.  If you need an excpetional toy like this, email Luis.

Thanks again to George, Luis, and Rich for having us out!

DTG Kicks Off 2012!

Wow, what a difference one year can make!  2011 has been an epic year for us here at Details To Go.  We moved our Franklin location, and opened up two more in Rivergate and Hickory Hollow.  Our staff tripled in size, and we have developed an incredible partnership with our dealership friends at Carnival Kia.  A special thanks goes to Chris Bostick for the opportunity to work with his "Kia Family."

As we move forward, we thought it of utmost importance to stop and thank our remarkable staff for the hard work they give to our organization and to our customers every single day.  At this point, our staff touches over 1,000 cars per month company wide.  That is a TON of cars.  Each one is treated with care and dedication.  So to celebrate our accomplishments, the crew at Jim N Nick's Barbecue in Nashville was kind enough to host our entire staff in one room!  We had great food, drinks, and of course, their fantastic service.  Tim and Terry took excellent care of our every need, and allowed us to just enjoy ourselves for an evening of reflection, thanks, and celebration.

There is already much excitement building about the growth we expect throughout 2012, and we hope that we have started a great tradition by kicking off the year with a party and a "Thank You."
