Professional Auto Detailing

servicing Leelanau County michigan

At Former Glory Detailing llc, we believe every car should look brand new.

It all starts with meticulous attention to detail, a strong commitment to quality, and the most premium products on the market.

“I take great pride in the appearance of my vehicles and yours. I have a strong work ethic, and I operate my business on 2 central themes. First if we take care of something it lasts longer, requires less maintenance, and holds its value better. Second, anything I do, I believe in doing it with excellence. My Detail is not a “Car Wash” with a quick vacuum and wipe down.” I use tools to stimulate the carpet and loosen the dog hair sand etc. before vacuuming. I don’t just spray on cleaner; I steam the dirt out from below the surface before cleaning. I use small precision tools to get in those cracks and crevices that other companies do not get to. My service is a true “Detail.”

At Former Glory I believe the word ‘detail’ matters and means paying attention to the details. I have been detailing vehicles here in Leelanau County since 2022. If you give my company the opportunity to earn your business, we will restore your vehicle to its Former Glory.””
— Sam Wellborn - Owner

  • I have used Sam's business a couple of times and it was fantastic. He first cleaned my suburban after a long summer of sand/kids in the car and then took our 1989 Buick Station wagon and made it look brand new (inside and out)!

  • When Sam Wellborn details my cars, they look like they just came out of the showroom. I don't even want to get dirt on the floor mats.
