About Us

About Detail Authority

Originally founded in 1987, Detail Authority was one of the first mobile detailing operations in Northern Virginia. From humble beginnings, operating from a small garage, the company rapidly expanded to multiple locations across Fairfax County along with a mobile fleet.

At the time, the U.S. military had been utilizing clear tape to protect helicopter blades from damaging debris. In the early 90’s, the automotive industry began using paint protection film (PPF) for race cars. Detail Authority identified the trend and trained with XPEL in 2005, becoming one of the first certified facilities.

In 2012, XPEL revolutionized the industry with the release of the first ever self-healing paint protection film. This innovation led Detail Authority to shift focus toward paint protection and related services. We added ceramic coatings and window tint to meet growing demand.

Today, Detail Authority Virginia is a leading paint protection film installation facility. Over 75% of our revenue is generated from PPF service. Call us for additional product details and a free quote.
