My car hasn’t been this clean since it left the factory. John did an excellent job on the Jeep. Got a ride home after I dropped off the car. Also, got a pickup in his personal car since he didn’t want to be the first to get my car dirty. Highly recommended.

On 7/8/2026 Gary Boettner had this to say:
We are visiting Iowa from South Carolina for several weeks and while in Pella Let It Shine Detailing was recommended to us to clean up my wife's vehicle. John did a great job, his attention to the details were excellent! He even coated our windshield as a "welcome to Iowa" courtesy. While the vehicle will get trashed over the next few weeks travel at least it looked fantastic for a few days! I would highly recommend John to anyone who appreciates a clean sharp car! Thanks, to John and his lovely wife for proving to us Iowa is a great place to visit, especially Pella, Iowa!

FAQ

Do you offer ceramic coating for more than just cars?

Yes! We specialize in ceramic coating for classic cars, motorcycles, farm equipment, aircraft, boats, and RVs. If it rolls, floats, or flies—we’ll protect it with a durable, high-gloss finish.

How much does ceramic coating cost at Let It Shine Detailing?

The cost of ceramic coating varies based on the size of the vehicle, its condition, the level of paint correction needed, and the coating package selected. Contact Let It Shine Detailing for a customized quote tailored to your vehicle.

What’s included in your full interior and exterior detailing service?

Our full detail includes deep interior cleaning of seats, carpets, dashboard, doors, and trunk, along with an exterior wash, wax, and polish. We also clean windows, wheels, tires, and offer engine bay detailing upon request.

What is nano ceramic coating, and is it worth it for my vehicle?

Nano ceramic coating is a premium protective coating that bonds to your vehicle's exterior, helping guard against UV rays, dirt, water spots, oxidation, and environmental contaminants while enhancing gloss and shine. It provides longer-lasting protection than traditional waxes and can make vehicle maintenance much easier.

What is the difference between liquid paint protection and traditional paint protection film (PPF)?

Liquid paint protection, such as nano ceramic coatings, creates a protective layer that enhances shine and helps repel contaminants. Traditional paint protection film (PPF) is a thicker, transparent film physically applied to painted surfaces to help protect against rock chips, scratches, and road debris. Ceramic coatings focus on surface protection and ease of cleaning, while PPF provides a stronger physical barrier against impact damage.

Can you detail large vehicles like RVs, boats, or planes?

Yes! We offer mobile detailing for large vehicles including planes, big RVs, and boats. We’ll come to you and deliver professional, high-quality service on-site.
