With over 21 years of auto detailing experience, you can trust that you’re in good hands. My background ranges from body shops, to dealerships and high-end clubs where I’ve honed my techniques. In all honesty, automotive detailing is a lifestyle for me which falls in-line with my other passions as an artist.
Since my clients trust me to protect their cars for the next 3 to 5 years, I make sure my supplies are the best the industry has to offer. As a certified SB3 Ceramic Coating Installer, I have access to the elite-level supplies the general public can’t get – and the skills to know how to use it.
My skills are what set me apart from others. I still prefer to use an old-school rotary polisher when doing my elite-level services. Overall, old-school tools aren’t commonly used anymore. I feel like people get caught up in the latest technology trends, but lose track of key fundamentals.
I believe in a long-term relationship-driven business. Therefore, I don’t intend to grow Diamond Fox into a big company. I want to focus on being an artist. Even more, delivering high quality results to my high quality clients. The reason people choose me over high-volume shops is because they want an artist who’s been building his skills for 21 years. And takes great pride in his work and their ride.
Jesse Has Spent 25 Years Watching Seattle Destroy Unprotected Paint.
Seattle doesn't have dramatic weather. It has patient weather, which is worse for paint. 155 days of rain a year. A UV index too low to suppresses moss and bio-growth. Conifer sap dropping terpenes and rosin acids year-round. Marine salt aerosol off the Sound. All of these threats compound. Diamond Fox specializes in preventing it.
Persistent Rain
Salt ions in the moisture from the Puget Sound accelerate the electrochemical component of clear coat degradation and leave a residual deposit that traps additional humidity against the surface.
The PNW's conifer species drip resin year-round. Vehicles parked under or near these trees accumulate resin deposition that is genuinely continuous, and damaging to your vehicle's clear coat.
Pollen is a seasonal but significant chemical threat. When pollen grains land on a vehicle surface and are exposed to moisture, they release mild organic acids, and biologically active compounds.
Automotive clear coat is a network of polymer. In the cold, this polymer contracts. Water trapped in micro-scratches will expand and freeze, damaging the surrounding clear coat structure.
Year-round conifer fallout and pollen give colonizing organisms their perfect food source. They live on your car's surface and create enzymes that degrade your clear coat's molecular structure.
Road salt, primarily sodium chloride, with calcium chloride and magnesium chloride used as liquid pre-treatment and anti-icing agents, creates a corrosive brine when it contacts moisture.
A lot of people are searching for a quick solution. But the people who value the outcome know the difference between average work and the right hands on the job. Most people find a service. The right people find Jesse.
Precision
Precision is built through thousands of careful decisions over time. It’s knowing what matters, what doesn’t, and where exactness changes everything. When the work is done with precision, the result speaks for itself.
Integrity
You should know exactly what you’re getting and why it matters. Integrity is about being transparent, straightforward, and committed to the truth of the work. No shortcuts, no surprises, just honest service from start to finish.
Attention
Great results don’t happen by accident. They happen because someone is paying attention. From prep to final inspection, every part of the process is watched closely. That care shows up in the finish, and the confidence clients feel when it’s done.
Permanence
Permanence means building something that endures. The goal is lasting protection, lasting beauty, and lasting peace of mind for the owner. When the work is done with integrity, the results don’t just impress. They stay. That’s the Diamond Fox Standard.
Auto Detailing
Deep cleaning, surface decontamination, and paint care. Because your ride deserves to shine.
A great result starts with a clear understanding of the process. These are the questions clients ask most often before handing over their keys. We want you to feel informed, comfortable, and confident from the start.
I started doing this when I was 16 years old, working at a local auto body shop. Next I moved onto working at dealerships. Then I worked at a high-end club before deciding to start my own business in my early thirties.
I love everything about the process. At the end of most days, I see quality results and have happy customers. Not everybody gets to have a finished product everyday, so I find this to be rewarding.
When I’m not working in my business, I’m focusing on things in the music industry. I have been a writer, musician, and band leader most of my life.
I see this business growing into a medium-sized business and keeping it on that level. I do not want to ever sacrifice the quality of the work I deliver in order to fill the shop with a bunch of cars. This is something that I see that way too often in this industry and things get rushed.
Yeah it has happened multiple times but I just don’t see it haha. I actually find that to be insulting since I’m such a stud in comparison.
Believe it or not I listen to a lot of ambient bass drum and violin music. I find it energizing in the right way and helps keep my focus. Tom Petty is another one that gets played a lot in the shop.
I guess it’s just something I developed over time. When I first got into this business on a professional level I didn’t think I was going to make it because there were a lot more things involved than I was thinking.
Elite Level Service. Done Right. The First Time.
For a vehicle you've invested in, ceramic coating is what separates a finish that holds up from one that fades, dulls, and demands constant upkeep.
