Today we’d like to introduce you to Jerick White
Hi Jerick, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
In the fall of 2022, I found myself at a crossroad, searching for an opportunity to earn some additional income while doing something that aligned with my interest. I was looking for something that would allow me to work with my hands, something that offered flexibility and allowed me to see tangible results. As I began researching different options, I stumbled upon the idea of starting a mobile detailing service. The concept immediately caught my attention. It offered the perfect blend of flexibility, hands-on work, and the chance to bring vehicles back to their best condition. I loved the idea of taking something that was worn, dirty, or neglected and restoring it to its full potential.
This discovery sparked the beginning of what would soon become White Slate Auto Detailing. I began looking into the specific equipment and chemicals I would need to get the job done professionally. I didn’t want to cut corners or offer subpar services, so I made the initial investment in high-quality tools and products that would allow me to provide the best possible results. It wasn’t just about washing cars. I wanted to offer something more. Something that would exceed my customers’ expectations. Of course, I started off detailing close family and friend’s vehicles to fine tune my process and gain more experience.
As I got more comfortable with the basics of detailing and gaining more confidence, I took a deeper dive into more advanced skills such as paint correction and ceramic coating, just to make sure I could provide clients with ultimate protection for their vehicles and the best experience for customers. Ceramic coating in particular became a focal point for me, since it is considered the gold standard in paint protection, offering long lasting durability and enhancing a vehicle’s appearance. Since applying a ceramic coating requires precision and expertise, I knew I couldn’t just jump in without the proper training, so I took the necessary steps to become certified in ceramic coating application. This certification process involved learning about the chemistry behind the product, mastering the application techniques, and understanding how to deliver consistent, high-quality results every time.
Looking back, I’m proud of the journey I’ve been on since starting White Slate Auto Detailing. What began as a simple search for extra income has evolved into a business built on quality, precision, and a passion for delivering top-notch service in the DFW area. I’ve had the privilege of helping customers not only restore their vehicles but protect their investments and rekindle their pride in what they drive. As I look ahead, I’m excite about the endless possibilities to continue growing the business, expanding my skills, and continuing to deliver an exceptional service that will help more customers protect and enhance their vehicles.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The journey to building White Slate Auto Detailing has been far from smooth, but every challenge has played a key role in shaping both the business and my resilience. One of the toughest hurdles was starting from scratch to build a loyal client base. It required relentless patience, unwavering persistence, and an unshakable commitment to delivering excellence, because trust and loyalty aren’t earned overnight. As a mobile service, the unpredictability of weather often adds another layer of complexity. Rain, scorching heat, or icy temperatures can throw schedules into disarray and create tough working conditions. Let’s not forget the constant battle with DFW traffic, construction zones, accidents, and surprise delays can make navigating between locations feel like an obstacle course. Despite the struggles, these experiences have taught me to adapt, stay focused, and deepen my passion for providing customers with the kind of service that leaves their vehicles looking better than ever. Every bump in the road has been a lesson, and I’m proud to keep moving forward.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
While I didn’t have my business during the COVID-19 crisis, hearing the experiences of other small business owners taught me some important lessons about adaptability and resilience. The pandemic highlighted the importance of being flexible and finding creative ways to serve customers, especially in challenging times. It also emphasized the value of building strong relationships with clients and maintaining a loyal customer base, as these connections can make all the difference during uncertain periods.
Though I didn’t face those challenges firsthand, I’ve applied these lessons to my approach with White Slate Auto Detailing by prioritizing customer satisfaction and ensuring my business is prepared to adapt to any unexpected circumstances in the future.
