We’re ZS Clean. Nice to Meet You.
We’re a family-run, fully mobile detailing team in San Diego, known for paint-safe methods, calm professionalism, and work we’re proud to put our name on.
It started with one simple thought. Why does this always feel rushed?
We grew up with a basic belief. If you’re going to do something, you do it with care. Not for attention. Because the craft matters. Because the person trusting you matters.
When we first stepped into the detailing world, we noticed something quickly. A lot of it wasn’t detailing. It was speed, shine, and shortcuts. Just enough to look good from ten feet away. Then the sun hits it. Or the first wash. And the results disappear.
So we built our own standard.
Paint-safe always. No rush jobs. No mystery steps. No pretending. If something can’t be fixed in one visit, we’ll say so. If it can be made better, we’ll do it the right way, even if it takes longer.
We’re not a factory. We’re a small team that cares about the quiet details. The ones you notice when you open the door. When the interior feels reset. When the paint looks right from every angle, not just the easy ones.
Quality is a habit.
Not a once-in-a-while thing. It’s the way you tape edges. The way you choose a towel. The way you stop and re-check a panel because you know you’ll see it later.
If we wouldn’t be proud to park it in our own driveway, we’re not done yet.
Simple rules. Non-negotiable standards.
Paint-Safe, Always
Every touchpoint matters. We work like the finish is precious—because it is.
No Rush Jobs
We don’t race the clock. We move with intent, and we stop when details demand it.
Care You Can Feel
The goal isn’t “shiny.” It’s “restored,” “reset,” and “kept right” for the long run.
Same Family. Real Standards.
We built ZS Clean around one principle: care beats speed. We notice the small stuff because those are the parts you live with.

The Growing Crew
Join the MissionWe are slowly building a team of detailers who share our obsession. We don't hire for speed; we hire for attitude.
Quiet preparation. Focused execution. A finish we can stand behind.
We show up prepared, because that’s the whole point of being mobile. The setup is clean. The tools are organized. The approach is consistent—whether we’re in a driveway, a parking structure, or outside a busy office.
We start by paying attention: what the car has been through, where the wear is, what matters most to the person who drives it. Then we work with a steady pace—careful around edges, deliberate on surfaces, and patient where shortcuts would do damage later.
Before we leave, we do a final walkthrough with the same mindset we began with: if something feels off, we fix it. Not because it’s dramatic—because that’s what professionals do.
We’re not trying to be the biggest.
We’re trying to be the team you remember for being careful, consistent, and easy to trust. A small business that shows up, takes pride in the work, and earns the right to come back.
