Our Story

About Us

From a two-car garage to a 4-bay studio — built on craft, driven by obsession.

Gloss & Grain was founded in 2019 by Marcus Reeves, a lifelong car enthusiast who spent a decade managing body shops before realizing his real passion was the art of detailing. It started simple — a pressure washer, a few buckets of premium product, and a two-car garage in East Naples. Word spread fast. Within a year, the garage couldn't keep up with demand.

Today, Gloss & Grain operates a 4-bay studio on Horseshoe Drive with a team of certified detailers who share Marcus's belief that every vehicle deserves meticulous care. We're IDA-certified (International Detailing Association) and use only premium products from Gtechniq, CarPro, and Koch Chemie — the same lines trusted by the world's best detailers.

We've detailed everything from daily commuters to Porsches, Ferraris, and classic muscle cars. The work is the same regardless of what's in the bay: patient, precise, and uncompromising. No shortcuts, no upsells, just honest craftsmanship and results you can see under any light.

The name? "Gloss" is the finish — that deep, liquid shine you see on a perfectly corrected panel. "Grain" is the leather, the texture, the craft underneath. It's the part most people never see, but it's what separates a car wash from a detail.
