Water stays on site
Rinseless and low-water methods mean wash water never reaches the storm drain. It is the law in Austin, and it is also the reason a neighbor never has to ask what is running down the street.
About Trident Detailing
Precision mobile detailing.
Trident Detailing began in the Chicago suburbs, working out of a van on driveways through Illinois winters. Salt, road film and four months of grey teach you quickly which parts of this trade are craft and which parts are theatre.
The business relaunched in Austin in October 2026. Same owner, same hands on every car, a different climate to work against. Texas sun and hard water do to paint what Illinois salt did, only faster and in a different direction.
Everything is mobile. There is no shop to drive to and no key drop. The van carries its own water and power, and the work happens where your car already sits.
One person does the work, which is the reason the calendar is finite and the reason you will always know who is standing in your driveway.

How we work
You see the work
Every job ends with photographs of what was done, sent with the receipt. On a Ceramic Shield that includes paint-depth readings before the polish.
Prices are published
Every service, every vehicle size and every add-on is on the pricing page. Your quote is computed before you pay and itemized on the receipt.
A finite calendar
Summer hours start at 7am and end at 1pm, because a Texas afternoon is not a place to finish paintwork properly. Fewer jobs a day, done once.
