Tell Us Your Story. What motivated you to start your business? Why are you passionate about what you do?

I left home rather young & raised myself, put myself thru school. I also worked for myself, as nobody would hire me at 13. In the beginning, I more washed cars & basic detailing. Self taught. Over time, I learned more & got better & better for detailing vehicles & trucks & more. During that same time, I also taught myself how to restore & polish metals of all kinds. Aluminum stainless brass copper steel. As years went by, I found my best niche & what I exactly wanted to do. Fast track a few decades, I became a foster parent to 3 boys & also full time single parent to my own son. The oldest foster boy took quite an interest in the polishing & so I've taught him the trade over the past decade. A few years ago his younger brother joined us & even my youngest works thru summer months. We are much more than just a polishing shop though. We treat everyone of our clients like they are family. A bday card or msg, Christmas etc. Lots of contests & different interactive things. Then, we do alot of volunteering from neighborhood cleanups to Christmas toy drives to various fundraisers. We've heard thru the years that why haven't we signed up for this as we deserve to be recognized. Saw the link in the email & here we are.

Why do you deserve to win the Business Impact award?
