I'm currently studying cybersecurity at Iowa State (Go Cyclones!), so I'm not doing detail work or taking appointments right now.
I'm currently studying cybersecurity at Iowa State (Go Cyclones!) and am not accepting detailing appointments.
When detailing resumes, I can come to your home. All I need on site is access to water and electricity.
The goal is a car that's genuinely clean, carefully finished, and ready to enjoy.
Every detail is done by hand, by one person, using the same careful process on a daily driver or a weekend car you actually care about. Straightforward packages, honest pricing, no upsells.
Serving Ankeny, Johnston, Waukee, West Des Moines, and surrounding areas.
Our signature package, and the one I'd book for my own car. A careful exterior wash and seal paired with a full interior clean, so the whole vehicle gets looked after in a single appointment.
Adds a deep shine and protective layer to your paint, helping repel water, dirt, and UV damage. The result: a mirror-like finish with water beading off the surface and short-term protection against the elements.
A full exterior detail with paint correction that removes 80–90% of small scratches and swirl marks, leaving a showroom-ready finish.
*Clients must provide a garage or shaded area.
Perfect for well-maintained vehicles needing a quality freshen-up. The result: a fresh, clean, and renewed cabin that feels inviting every time you get in.
For vehicles that need extra attention. Stains, pet hair, odors, we handle it all. The result is an interior that looks, feels, and smells like new.

I got into detailing at a local dealership, cleaning up trade-ins and getting new cars ready for the lot. Some of those trade-ins showed up in rough shape, so I've seen just about every kind of mess a car can have. You learn to work fast there. You also learn that fast and sloppy aren't the same thing.
Ankeny Auto Detailing is just me. When I start taking cars again, I'll be the one doing yours from start to finish. Nobody else touches it.
When I'm not working, I'm usually in the garage with my own car, a Subaru WRX that gets way more attention than it needs. I've always liked this stuff.
How I do it is pretty simple. I want your car actually clean, and I don't want to hurt the paint getting it there. Right wash method, good products, nothing that looks great for a week and then eats your clear coat. I treat your car like it's mine.
I also created my own ceramic coating, ZCoatings 10X Diamond. I tried a lot of the big brands and most of them didn't live up to the hype, so I created one I'd actually put on a customer's car. It's a graphene ceramic coating rated 9H, good for up to 5 years with the right prep, and one 50ml bottle covers a full-size truck or SUV. You can find it on Amazon.
Proper wash technique and the right products, so your paint comes out cleaner without new scratches or swirl marks put into it.
Years of hands-on experience across every kind of vehicle, from daily drivers to the cars people are genuinely particular about.
When detailing resumes, the same person you contact will do the work, so nothing gets rushed or skipped.
If something isn't right when I'm finished, I make it right. You shouldn't have to settle when it comes to your vehicle.
★★★★★Great job! Made the paint shine like glass. Excellent attention to details like door sill, corners of windshield, and around the license plates. You won't be disappointed.

Yes. We're a mobile detailing service and come to your home throughout Ankeny, Johnston, Waukee, West Des Moines, and the surrounding metro. We just need access to water and electricity at your location.
It depends on the package. A Gloss & Seal Wash runs about 1.5 hours, the Express Interior about 2 hours, and larger packages like the Deluxe Exterior Detail or Deep Interior Detail take 3 to 4 hours.
We serve Ankeny, Johnston, Waukee, West Des Moines, and the surrounding Des Moines metro area.

Access to water and electricity at your location is required for any service. For the Deluxe Exterior Detail, a garage or shaded area is also needed for the paint correction step.
Yes. I use a careful, swirl-free wash process and products chosen to be safe on modern clear coats, ceramic coatings, and paint protection film. I've worked on everything from daily drivers to cars people are very particular about, and I treat each one accordingly.
Tell me before I leave and I'll make it right. I'd rather take the extra time on site than have you drive away less than satisfied.
