As time goes on, it’s common for the appearance of a car to deteriorate and for it to lose its initial shine. While brand new cars are expensive and therefore difficult to come by, the auto-detailing staff at Corporal Clean, LLC can have your car feeling brand new as they transform the exteriors of automobiles into spotless works of art.
Owner and operator Leslie Arnett previously served in the Marine Corps, and the business and its name represent the dedication to service, immaculate detail, and vigorous training that he strives for. After an extensive 16 years of experience in the car dealership industry, Leslie opened Corporal Clean to the public in 2014.
“I’d envisioned Corporal Clean to be like a one-stop shop for car dealers. I wanted it to be a place where they could get all their detailing and touch-ups. We’d wanted to do all that car dealers might try and use multiple businesses for,” says Leslie. “That’s how we started out, but people started noticing us through our social media. Now, we do auto detailing for anyone interested, as well as paint buffing, ceramic coating, and paint protection film.”
When researching different business plans, Leslie knew that he wanted Corporal Clean to focus heavily on a type of high-quality detailing that you couldn’t find in a small town like Paducah. Before opening up shop, he discovered an institute in Pennsylvania certified by the state to teach auto detailing. With prior experience in the craft, Leslie expected the course to be a refresher. But what he learned was much more detailed than anything he’d encountered before.
“Little did I know, the course really turned me on to an extremely advanced way of detailing and using tools that I didn’t even know were available,” says Leslie. “It really took the business to the next level, as well as informing me about how I should be pricing and managing the shop.”
What really sets Corporal Clean apart from other companies is that they utilize a certified CarPro’s CQuartz installer for putting a ceramic coating on cars. This is an installer that requires approval from the CarPro company to use and operate. It’s extremely hard to come by, as CarPro receives an overwhelming amount of applications and requires lots of consideration in allowing a business to use their product.
Corporal Clean is the only auto-detailing shop in the state of Kentucky that is approved to offer CQuartz ceramic coatings on vehicles. With a shop so fully equipped and professionally run, Corporal Clean can provide any car with the finest detailing in Western Kentucky.
