Detailer Specialist

Job Summary

Xcellence Auto Spa is a premium detailing operation serving North Jersey from our Hawthorne facility and from mobile units at client and fleet sites. We're seeking a detail-oriented Auto Detailing Specialist to deliver cleaning, correction, and restoration services that leave every vehicle pristine — whether it's in our bay or curbside at a customer's location — reflecting our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. This is a fast-paced role where your detailing skill and customer service both matter.

No detailing experience required. If you show up on time, take pride in your work, and want to learn a trade, we will train you. Every technician starts on our standard operating procedures and works up from there.

What We Offer

• Competitive pay ($16 to $20per hour) based on experience, with increases as you certify on new services.
• Paid training on our full standard operating procedures — no cost to you, and you're on the clock while you learn.
• Career growth into Lead Technician, with training in paint correction, ceramic coating, paint protection film, and vinyl wrap support.
• All chemicals, equipment, and personal protective equipment supplied by the company.

What You Need to Bring

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record — required to operate the mobile unit and move customer vehicles.
• Reliable transportation to and from our Hawthorne shop for every scheduled shift.
• Attention to detail — the willingness to check your own work, catch what others miss, and not call a car finished until it actually is.
• Comfort working with professional detailing chemicals daily; personal protective equipment provided and required.
• Ability to bend, kneel, stand for extended periods, lift up to 50 lbs, and work outdoors in varying weather.
• Professional, customer-facing attitude.

Prior detailing, car wash, or automotive experience is a plus but not required.

Responsibilities 

• Perform thorough exterior washing, vehicle paint correction, and automotive buffing to restore vehicles to their optimal shine.
• Conduct interior detailing including vacuuming, upholstery cleaning, dashboard polishing, and odor removal to ensure a spotless vehicle interior.
• Use professional cleaning equipment and automotive buffers safely and effectively to achieve high-quality results.
• Apply safe work practices during all detailing procedures, including heavy lifting and handling of cleaning chemicals and equipment.
• Maintain vehicle cleanliness standards by inspecting, touch-up cleaning, and ensuring all vehicles meet quality expectations before delivery.
• Assist customers with inquiries related to detailing services, providing friendly and professional customer service at all times.
• Follow established procedures for vehicle exterior washing, paint correction, buffing, and interior detailing to ensure consistency and excellence.

Join us to be part of a vibrant team dedicated to delivering outstanding auto detailing services! Your expertise will help us create visually stunning vehicles that leave our customers delighted every time.
