The Story Behind New Season Detailing
What started as a simple detailing business became something much bigger. This commercial tells the story behind New Season Detailing and the journey that inspired it.
Meet Kurtis Mercer
On May 29, 2026, I quit my 9-to-5 job.
It wasn't because I had everything figured out. It wasn't because I had a perfect plan. And it wasn't because I suddenly discovered that vehicle detailing was my lifelong dream.
I quit because I wanted to build a life that gave me more freedom, more ownership, and more responsibility for my future.
For years, I followed the path that many people are told to follow—go to school, get a job, work hard, collect a paycheck, and repeat the cycle. While there were valuable lessons along the way, I eventually realized that I wanted something different.
I've always been someone who enjoys building things, creating things, learning new skills, and serving people. I wanted the freedom to create my own schedule, make my own decisions, and build businesses that reflect who I am.
New Season Detailing is one of those businesses.
Is it my ultimate dream? No.
But it is a business I'm proud of. It allows me to serve people, earn an income, work directly with customers, and continue building the life I'm working toward. It also gives me the flexibility to pursue other projects and businesses that I'm passionate about as they continue to grow.
What surprised me most is how much I've enjoyed the work.
There's something satisfying about taking a vehicle that's been neglected, cluttered, or worn down by everyday life and helping bring it back to life. A clean vehicle can change the way someone feels when they start their day, drive to work, or pick up their family.
New Season Detailing is built on simple values: honesty, reliability, attention to detail, and treating every vehicle with care and respect.
When you book with New Season Detailing, you're not dealing with a large company or a team of employees. You're working directly with me. From the inspection to the final walkthrough, I'm the person who shows up, does the work, and stands behind the results.
This business is part of a much bigger journey for me—a journey of building, learning, creating, and becoming the person God created me to be.
Thank you for supporting a local business and being part of this new season.

Condition: This family vehicle showed the normal signs of everyday use, including loose debris, dust accumulation, dirt around high-touch surfaces, buildup in cupholders and storage compartments, and contamination throughout the rear seating area from regular family transportation.

The result was a refreshed interior that remained respectful of the owner's belongings and daily life.

Condition: This vehicle was generally well-maintained and showed only light signs of everyday use.

Interior surfaces were cleaned, floor areas were thoroughly vacuumed, and the cargo area was reorganized to create a cleaner and more functional space. The result was a refreshed family vehicle ready for everyday use.
