    New Truck Package completed by American Shine, straight from the dealer to them for paint correction, PPF and  Ceramic coating.
    Kyle M.

    We are back for a second time. Loved the work they did on the SRT two years ago (held up with no major issues) that worked with them to schedule the Raptor as soon as it came off the truck! Brain and team walked it over and got the Raptor started the next day giving it paint correction, protecting it with ceramic and paint protection film. That peace of mind for everyday stuff - until I take her off roading

    Amazing operation at American Shine - this is a highly professional company with the proper facilities, equipment, and trained staff to provide the best services around when it comes to detailing, ceramic coating, tint, PPF, etc! If quality and perfect installation is your top concern, don't take your vehicle anywhere else - take it from me and my horror story: I bought a brand-new truck and wanted to get Gtechniq Ultra Serum installed on it right away, so I did some googling and found a detailer closer to my house that offered the product. This detailer had great reviews online but only a handful on Google and Facebook... but since they were local I decided to give them a chance and hope that the few reviews they had were accurate. Long story short, I got my truck back with an absolute horrendous ceramic coating installation - it was shocking how bad it was. I had multiple areas around the truck where the coating was not wiped properly and resulted in cloudiness over top the paint, some as big as softballs (not exaggerating) - then I started looking closely and there were streak marks and swirls everywhere, plus the coating was not applied on every part of the paint as well as the installer got the coating on parts of my truck that shouldn't have had any (my tail light, rubber gaskets, etc). I had a pit in my stomach, having a brand-new truck that looked terrible and the fact that the product is very difficult to remove (9 year coating!). The original installer offered to fix it for free but, after he gave my truck back to me in that condition, I did not trust him to fix it correctly. I ended up looking for the best installer in the DMV and stumbled upon American Shine. I took my truck in and Brian, the owner, looked it over and couldn't believe how poorly the product was applied. He said he can fix it, it'll take way more work than if I had just brought them the truck first since they had to buff out and possibly wet sand off all the high spots before they could even begin... I skeptical and thought no way they are going to get it right but Brian was confident. It ended up costing me way more than it should have, which was no fault of American Shine - I had to pay for the labor to fix the mistakes of the previous installer and then have them re-apply the coating correctly. When I picked up my truck I was blown away, it looked like a showpiece. My paint was a mirror, perfect, amazing reflection, no cloudiness and no scratches or swirl marks. They correctly applied the ceramic coating into every nook and cranny that has paint. They didn't get it on anything that shouldn't have it. They cleaned up all the sloppiness of the first guy and then knocked it out of the park with their install. AMAZING. Seriously, if you care about your car do not go anywhere else!! You know the old saying, buy once cry once... I ended up buying twice, so learn from my mistakes and go to American Shine Detailing first!

    Whenever it's the boy's birthday, I pretend like it's my birthday too and engage in whatever festivities we have planned. For my birthday this year, the tables were turned when he bought "us" a new car. And like everything that you purchase brand new, you want to take care of it as best you can so we wanted to get our car coated. We were referred by a friend and we've taken previously another car here to SpeedFreak Detailing and were impressed with the results, so there was no hesitation for us to bring our new car back here. In addition to coating, their services include wash and details, paint correction, and several other a la carte services. Brian is meticulous and detailed in his work, and we were pleased with the end result. The turnaround was about 2 days and when we picked up our car, it looked better than it did on the day that we bought it! We're definitely going to continue to bring our cars here for aesthetic services.

    I made an appointment to take my 2016 ATS-V in for a detail based on recommendations from one of my Facebook car groups. It took almost two months to get my car in but the wait was well worth it. Brian Dubinsky was incredibly knowledgeable and guided me through the best options to restore my car to a condition better than when I took delivery. In addition to the detail he did a paint correction, ceramic coat and resurfaced all of the wheels. A testament to his work is that after owning the car for two years I feel like I have a new car again and I can't stop looking at it. I highly recommend Brian and American Shine Detail.

    Red Tesla Model 3 after ceramic coating at ASD. 50% tint front sides, 40% tint back sides. Looks great and Virginia legal.

    Recently had my red Tesla Model 3 ceramic coated, tinted and PPF put on the bumper at ASD. Brian and Brian were fantastic to work with and the results speak for themselves. They walked me through each step of the process, explained their different products, and didn't try to push me to purchase anything I didn't want or need. They were even able to meet my request for a one piece tint on the rear window of the 3, which is notoriously hard to do due to its size. It's not hard to tell from all of them in the shop, but these guys know Tesla. Since everything I had done took several days, the communication throughout the process was a nice touch. As was the follow up call to see if I had any questions and make sure I was happy. I highly recommend.

    My husband and I just bought a new Audi S3 2018 in Vegas Yellow and were looking into getting the car wrapped and coated (ceramic coating) to make sure that the car kept its new car shine. We looked at a few places in the area, but we decided on SpeedFreak as they provide a wide assortment of services, which was very convenient to get the coating, window tints, and ceramic coating done together. We coordinated with Brian who was very helpful and responsive throughout the entire process and was able to accommodate our busy schedules. They moved into a new location, so they were still setting up a lot of things, but the location looked very open and clean which felt very professional. The price for the coating, wrap, and tints were competitive from other locations we inquired about. Brian was helpful in walking us through the various options and recommendations to help ensure our car stays clean just the way we need it to. It has been three months now and the car has almost survived the winter, but wanted to leave a few comments on the various products. Film: I believe we got the Suntek PPF wrapped only on the front end. The Audi S3 has a very intricate front end design that adds to complexities in the wrap. We were pleased with how it came out and have no issues so far. Ceramic coating: Brian applied Gtechniq ceramic coating to the car. The coating has held up well and even after a harsh winter with much salt, the car is easy to clean and maintains its original gloss. We were deciding between Gtechniq, Cquartz, and Optimum... and we are happy with the results of gtechniq so far! Tint: We chose Suntek Cermaic CIR window tint which came out beautifully. We have used this same tint on other cars and it is our favorite in terms of look and heat reduction. We will admit that the tint job left us very impressed, whereas before we had taken our cars to TintFX in Vienna which seems to have done more of a rushed job. Also, we loved the updates from Brian throughout the process of the car getting cleaned, detailed, and wrapped!

    These guys are amazing! Brian Dubinsky did a great job describing my options when I brought in my 2015 KIA with some 'cement drippings' damage from an underground garage. That particular stain was a challenge, but Carloz Oritz was definitely up to it! Look how awesome my car looks now! Great customer service. Great results. HIGHLY recommend.

    Brian and team did an absolutely fantastic job correcting factory paint issues as well as hundreds of micro-scratches that had accumulated on our Mercedes C43 AMG. Brian also consulted with us on which coatings would provide the best protection and ease of maintenance relative to the cost to purchase and apply, and we could not be happier with the end result. Additionally, the American Shine applied heat-filtering ceramic tint that has made a dramatic impact on the interior temperatures of the car while improving overall appearance. I have worked with several of the area's high-end detailers over the past decade, and I can honestly say that none has demonstrated the same level of passion for their craft nor attention to detail that I experienced at American Shine.

    I've brought my vehicle to Patriot Glass twice -- once in 2023 and again in 2026 -- and both…read moreexperiences were excellent. 2026: My ADAS lane camera was malfunctioning, so I reached out to Mike via email. He responded quickly and clearly explained that he would only charge me if the ADAS calibration was successful, which I found extremely fair and reasonable. At the appointment, he spent about 30 minutes attempting the calibration and ultimately determined that the camera itself was faulty and couldn't be calibrated. He was honest about it and didn't charge me. Instead, he recommended finding a shop that could replace and program the camera properly. Mike is very professional, knowledgeable, and prompt with communication. 2023: I had a cracked windshield and contacted the shop for a quote. Mike provided a fair price and mentioned he could work directly with my insurance. I told him I was concerned about potential premium increases and preferred to pay out of pocket. To my surprise, he offered me a very competitive cash price and scheduled me the same day. I was in and out in under an hour. It's been three years, and the windshield has had zero issues. Honest, professional, and efficient service both times. I highly recommend Patriot Glass.

I had an appointment scheduled within minutes. Dropoff and pickup were both easier than I thought they were going to be-- short and sweet, nothing extra. It was just what I needed as a person with a job that has a less than flexible schedule. Thank you for making my car beautiful again
