Drag the handle. Every one of these took hours of correction, not a quick wash and a shine spray.

How it works
Four steps. No guesswork.
You will know the price, the timing and exactly what we need from you before we ever touch your vehicle.
- 01
Get your number
Use the estimator or send us photos. You get a real range in minutes — not a vague "it depends".
- 02
Pick your slot
Choose mobile or shop, and a window that works. We confirm exactly what we need from you before the day.
- 03
We go to work
One of the two owners inspects every vehicle before it leaves. No exceptions, no rushed jobs.
- 04
The reveal
We walk you through what we corrected, what we protected, and how to keep it that way.
What we need from you
Space to work
A driveway or spot with room to open every door. For mobile, water and an outlet help — our rig carries its own if you do not have them.
An empty cabin
Take personal items, car seats and paperwork out beforehand. We will not move or discard anything you leave.
A realistic window
A full detail is four to six hours. Corrections run longer. We would rather block the time than rush the finish.
Who you are trusting
Two owners. Every job checked by one of us.
We started Blackout in 2025 because we were tired of watching good vehicles come back from a “detail” with swirl marks and a wet interior. We are young, and we are not hiding it — it is exactly why we check everything twice.
You will not get a call center. You will get one of us, usually within the hour.

Dealerships & fleets
Volume work, held to the same standard.
We already turn a dealership lot every week. If you run inventory, a service department or a company fleet, we will build a schedule and a per-unit rate around your volume — not a retail price list.

What people say
Judged on the details others miss.
Every vehicle below was inspected by one of the two owners before it went back. That is the standard, job after job.
“Booked them for my wife’s Tahoe after a summer of kids and a dog. It came back better than the day we bought it. They found stains I had given up on.”
“I have used three detailers in the Des Moines area. These guys are the only ones who actually explained what they were doing and why it cost what it cost.”
“We run 40 units through the lot a month. Blackout turns them fast and consistently, and the invoice matches the quote every single time.”
“The ceramic coating held up through the entire winter. Salt just rinses off. Worth every dollar and then some.”

Questions
The things people ask us.
Two things: the size of your vehicle and its current condition. Size sets the base. Condition — pet hair, stains, heavy contamination — sets the rest. The estimator on our pricing page gives you the same range we would quote you over the phone.
A parking spot with room to work around the vehicle, and access to water and a standard outlet if possible. If you do not have either, tell us — our rig carries its own. We also ask that you take personal items out of the cabin beforehand.
Four to six hours for most vehicles. Paint correction runs one to two days, and ceramic coating two to three because the paint has to be corrected and then cured. We would rather take the time than hand back rushed work.
Constantly — they are most of what we do. Larger vehicles are priced higher because they genuinely take longer, and the estimator reflects that.
It is the single best thing you can do for paint here. Road salt, winter grit and summer sun are exactly what a coating is built to resist. It also makes every wash after it dramatically easier.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. We already run a dealership lot on a weekly schedule, and we build the per-unit rate and the timetable around your volume rather than a retail price list. Reach out and we will put something together for your lot.
Let’s make it look
better than new.
Four steps, a real number as you go, and an owner gets back to you. Or just call — one of us picks up.
