About The Gloves

Who we are

The White Glove Detailer™ started with two buckets, a neighborhood, and a growing obsession with doing the job better.

More than a decade ago, Nicklaus began washing vehicles for friends, neighbors, and local clients. What started as a small mobile operation evolved as he recognized the difference between simply cleaning a vehicle and properly detailing, restoring, protecting, and maintaining it.

By 2018, that shift in mindset helped transform “Nick’s Mini Mobile Car Wash” into what would become The White Glove Detailer™.

Today, TWGD is a mobile-first vehicle appearance and protection company serving the greater Tampa Bay area. Our work spans automotive detailing, paint correction, ceramic coatings, window tint, marine care, fleet services, RVs, aviation, and specialty vehicle projects.

No matter the vehicle, the philosophy remains the same: diagnose before we prescribe, pay attention to the details others overlook, and recommend the level of service the vehicle actually needs.

WHAT THE WHITE GLOVE STANDARD MEANS

The name “White Glove” is more than branding. It represents the standard we bring to every project.

We believe professional detailing should be thoughtful, condition-based, and tailored to the surface in front of us. That means using the right process for the vehicle instead of forcing every customer into the same package.

From routine care to deep restoration, our focus is on careful execution, honest recommendations, and preserving the work long after the appointment is complete.

WHAT WE SERVICE

TWGD has grown far beyond traditional automotive detailing.

Our experience includes:

Daily drivers, luxury, exotic, and collector vehicles Commercial fleets and dealership vehicles Boats and marine vessels RVs, motorhomes, trailers, and off-road vehicles Select aircraft and aviation projects Specialty equipment and unusual projects

If it drives, rides, floats, flies, or rolls into our world, there’s a good chance we can review it.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE GLOVES

The White Glove Detailer™ was built through hands-on experience, persistence, and a commitment to doing the work the right way.

Nicklaus remains actively involved in the day-to-day operation of TWGD, from customer experience and service development to quality control, training, specialty projects, and the continued growth of the brand.

As TWGD expands, the goal is not simply to add more people. It is to build a team of individuals who understand the importance of professionalism, consistency, accountability, and respect for every vehicle, vessel, aircraft, and customer entrusted to us.

We are actively seeking high-quality individuals who take pride in their work, communicate professionally, value attention to detail, and are capable of meeting the standards associated with The White Glove Detailer™.

Growth will never come at the expense of the standard. The right people will be trained, supported, and expected to represent the brand with the same care and professionalism that built it.

OUR APPROACH

Our scheduling, CRM, estimates, photos, service records, deposits, and follow-up processes help keep projects organized while allowing the actual work to remain personal and detail-focused.

The systems support the craft. They do not replace it.
