How do professional detailers bring out that deep luster and jaw-dropping mirror shine?
What do they know that we don’t?
The answer may be as simple as stopping in to talk to Galo Arias, owner of the Detail Garage at 4150 Old Milton Pkwy in Alpharetta.
The days of using Turtle Wax in the yellow-topped green tin may be over, but the desire to make your favorite car shine is still here. So while most of us turn to Google and YouTube for answers, you really can’t beat talking face-to-face with a pro.
That’s where Galo and his two Atlanta area Detail Garage locations make a difference. They can quickly cut through the clutter surrounding the hundreds of products available to find the one that best suits your specific needs.
Don’t get me wrong, YouTube is great, but there’s no substitute for talking with someone who does this for a living. Not to mention they have shelves stacked with every product you would need.
So, with questions in hand, we fired up the Grand Sport and made our way over to Alpharetta.
A Community Of Shared Passion
Rod Worley – Editor – How long has your Alpharetta location been open? And, can you tell us more about the Chemical Guys brand?
Galo Arias – Owner, Detail Garage – For the past three years, from our Alpharetta location, we’ve provided advice, training, and products for enthusiasts who take pride in their car’s appearance.
In my opinion, the Chemical Guys brand provides the best collection of car products for enthusiasts and professional detailers alike. Also, something that is important to many of our clients is that our products are developed and tested in the United States.
They are constantly working to make their products more effective and easier to use. But they do more than innovate in the car care industry.
They constantly redefine it.
Because, as our clients quickly learn, the Chemical Guys brand is more than simply great products. It’s a community of people who have come together because they have a passion for maintaining the beauty of their vehicles.
Professional Grade Polishers
Beyond row after row of specialized products, Chemical Guys also carries professional-grade polishers to ensure a beautiful finish.
If you’re looking for an orbital polisher, then look no further. There are many in stock to choose from, plus many others they can bring in for you.
Their assortment of random orbital polishers includes the impressive TORQ series, such as the TORQ10FX, TORQ15DA Long-Throw, TORQ22D, and TORQ R rotary models.
Also, they have the Flex XC 3401 VRG Dual Action Orbital Polisher, Flex PE14-2 Rotary Polisher, and the Flex L 3403 VRG lightweight circular rotary polisher.
There are several from the well-known Rupes lineup. Models such as the Rupes BigFoot LHR15 MARK III and Rupes BigFoot LHR21 MARK III.
We quickly learned that there was much more to the Chemical Guys offering than just chemicals.
Two Prime Locations
Atlanta is a big town; as of the 2021 census, 6,930,423 people call it home. Fortunately, Galo has two Detail Garages strategically placed around the metro area.

- 3420 Buford Dr C540, Buford, GA 30519. (678) 765-2663
Of the two locations, the Buford site can accommodate training classes where you can advance your skills from basic to intermediate to Master Detailer.

Give the Buford location a call for more class details.
Shine On
For many of us, detailing our car is both satisfying and, in many ways, therapeutic. In addition, we’ve found that spending some time bringing the shine back to our favorite ride is a great way to clear your head.
Detail Garage offers everything you need to ensure your efforts produce the results you want every time. They have a wide assortment of premium and professional auto detailing and car care products to get the job done right.
The best part is they encourage you to ask questions about their soaps, waxes, cleaners, equipment, and accessories. They feature quality products from Chemical Guys and Smartwax, TORQ, Flex, Rupes, and Hex-Logic.
When you’re ready to up your game, they have hands-on classes to teach you how to care for your car correctly. They also host monthly Rides & Coffee events, where car lovers can gather to learn about products and purchase them at discounted prices.
No matter what experience level you possess, the Detail Garage can show you how to bring out the shine.
