About
Two owners. One standard.
We started Blackout in 2025 in Central Iowa. We are young in this trade and we do not hide it — it is exactly why we check everything twice.

How it started
It started with a bad detail.
In May of 2025 the two of us started talking about how many vehicles around here come back from a “detail” worse than they went in — swirl marks under the shop lights, a soaked carpet, and cupholders nobody touched.
We started mobile, out of a driveway, because it was what we could afford. It turned out to be the thing people wanted most. Today we run mobile crews and shop work, and a dealership lot every week.
The goal has not changed: be the detailer people in Central Iowa recommend without being asked.
Who you are trusting
The two of us.

How we work
Three rules we do not bend.
We cap the day
A full detail is most of a shift for one vehicle. Booking nine a day is how shops hand back wet interiors and swirled paint. We would rather turn work away.
You get an owner
There is no call center and no dispatcher. When you text, one of us answers, usually within the hour. Every vehicle is inspected by one of us before handoff.
We say the uncomfortable part
If a scratch will not come out, we say so before we start. If wax is a better buy for you than a coating, we say that too — even though the coating pays us more.
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.”
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.
