Hidden Gems: Meet Giovan De Leon of Ark Auto Detailing

Today we’d like to introduce you to Giovan De Leon.

Giovan, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I started detailing at 12 years old as a way to make money during the summer. it was a small side hustle but then it quickly turned into a real passion because I’ve always loved cars and enjoyed seeing the transformation after every detail. Over the next five years, I spent countless hours practicing, learning new techniques, and talking with experienced detailers and customers to improve my skills and knowledge. When I turned 17, I officially started ARK Auto Detailing and began taking the business seriously. Today, my goal is to provide high-quality detailing services while continuing to grow a business built on passion, hard work, and attention to detail.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It’s honestly been going really good for me i’ve done more supercars then i think 90% of detailers ever have only struggle i face is needing to rest but i just want to constantly learn more and more

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Ark Auto Detailing?
When people think about car detailing, they usually just picture a bucket, a hose, and a quick vacuum job in a driveway. But when I started ARK Auto Detailing here in the North Richland Hills and DFW area, I wanted to do things completely differently. I wanted to bring a high-end, showroom-quality studio experience directly to your doorstep.

If you ask what we’re truly known for, it’s the heavy-hitting transformation work: precision paint correction and premium ceramic coatings. We take vehicles that have been beaten up by the brutal Texas sun or scratched to pieces by automatic car washes, meticulously machine-polish out those ugly swirl marks, and lock in an insane, glass-like shine with a high-grade ceramic layer. It’s a $900 investment in absolute protection. What I’m most proud of is that immediate “wow factor” when a client walks outside, sees their ride, and their jaw drops. There is nothing better than making a car look sharper and glossier than the day it left the dealership lot.

What I really want people to know is that your vehicle is one of your biggest investments—don’t trust it to a gas station car wash that’s going to ruin your paint. Whether you drive a daily commuter that needs a total cabin reset or a luxury ride that needs elite ceramic defense, we make it incredibly seamless. With our online booking and fully mobile setup, we give your car showroom-level care without ever interrupting your day.

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
