What a Visit Covers for a Surfside Household
Choose by what the week did to the car. Quick Detail at $149 covers an exterior wash, an interior wipe-down and the windows. Interior Detail at $199 is a deep clean of seats, carpet, panels and glass using steam and extraction. Exterior Detail at $249 adds a decontamination wash, clay bar, polish and wax protection. Car Detailing at $299 resets the whole vehicle, and it is the one most families pick.
The same ten steps on every car. Seven outside, three inside: inspection, wheels and tires, foam pre-wash, a two-bucket hand wash, air dry, spray sealant, then tire and trim, followed by the steam clean, the seats, and the windows and glass. We use fresh microfibers on each vehicle and pH-balanced products from Meguiar's, Koch Chemie and P&S. Before and after photos land in your WhatsApp.
Your day stays yours. A Quick Detail takes 1 to 2 hours and Car Detailing 2 to 3. Nobody has to wait nearby or be home. Send the request by WhatsApp or SMS in under 2 minutes, and we reply in about 2 minutes with a price and a time slot. We work Monday to Saturday, 8am to 7pm, and Sunday, 10am to 5pm.

What a careful family should ask
before a stranger works in the driveway
Short questions, and our written answers to each.
Since 2018
With more than 20 years of hands-on experience in the automotive care industry, Evelio launched DShine Details in August 2018 with one van and zero shortcuts. For the first six months he slept in the van to keep costs down and standards up. Today DShine runs 7 certified vans across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach, and the commitment hasn't changed. Every vehicle is treated as if it were his own.
What clients say
in their own words.
Sand, sunscreen and snack crumbs,
cleared one step at a time.
Photos from DShine work around South Florida, picked to show what each step does for a family car that lives close to the beach.
Foam at the curb
A house on a quiet street needs only a driveway edge or a curb space for the van. The foam lifts beach grit before any mitt touches the paint, so the hand wash that follows is gentler.
Before
AfterA film lifted off the paint
Cars that sit in open-sided building parking pick up a haze that a quick rinse leaves behind. A decontamination wash and polish bring back the depth, and wax protection finishes the job.
Before
AfterThe cup holders after a busy week
School snacks, pool-day crumbs and a stray receipt end up in the same corners. Interior Detail clears the console and the mats, so the front seat feels like a seat again.
Hot water on a family seat
Juice, sunscreen and wet swimsuits soak into fabric faster than a wipe can follow. The extractor pulls the dirty water back out, which is the step a cloth cannot do.
A space under the building
Many residents park in a covered or open-sided stall beside their building. This is how a visit looks when the van takes a nearby space and the car stays where it sleeps.
Polishing, up close
Paint Correction levels fine swirls and dullness, from $499. It is a longer job of 4 to 8 hours, so we confirm logistics with you before booking.
100% Guarantee.
Written. No exceptions.
If the result doesn’t meet our standard, or yours, we come back and redo it at no charge. No forms to fill out, no arguing over what “counts.” The guarantee is in writing before we ever touch your vehicle.

Not seeing your city? Ask us — we likely cover it.
A town of 0.56 square miles,
with water on both sides.
Surfside sits about 3 feet above sea level with the Atlantic on one side and Biscayne Bay on the other, so coastal air reaches almost every parking space. The closest long-record station, at Miami International Airport, logs 67.41 inches of rain a year on roughly 141 days, with 10.51 inches in June and 10.22 in September. Relative humidity averages 73.2 percent. For a household car, that means water spots after each storm, a hazy film on paint and glass, and carpets that collect sand. Most vehicles do well with a detail every 3 to 4 months.
Neighborhoods we serve
in Surfside
A beachfront tower, a bayside driveway and a block off the shopping strip each call for a different spot for the van, so we begin with where your car sleeps.
Harding Avenue Shops — The shopping and dining strip has more than 20 boutiques, and the town says there is no free parking along it. If your car lives nearby, book it at your own driveway or building space, where the van is not racing a meter.
Collins Avenue Condos — Collins Avenue, part of A1A, runs along the beach with condominium buildings, hotels and apartments. Send the stall number and a front desk or manager name, and we plan where the van waits before we arrive.
Community Center & Tennis Center — Pool afternoons and tennis courts at 9293 Harding Avenue mean towels, water bottles and rackets tossed in the back. Families nearby can book a Car Detailing at home while the kids are at practice.
96th Street Park & Beach — The park at 9580 Bay Drive and the weekend farmers market on the sand keep cars on the move near the north edge of town. We come to your driveway or building space and clear what the morning brought back.
Bay Drive & Biscayne Bay Side — The streets along the bay side are quieter, with driveways and carports and a small tot lot at 90th Street. Sprinklers can hit a curbside car, so tell us when yours run and we set up away from them.
Central Residential Streets — West of Byron Avenue, single-family homes have driveways and garages, with the Paws Up Dog Park at 93rd Street close by. Dog owners should mention it at booking, since Pet Hair Removal is a $70 add-on.
Veterans Park & 87th Terrace — Veterans Park, at 8750 Collins Avenue, marks the southern end of town and the start of the oceanfront path. Cars here collect sun, spray and sand, and we meet you at your building or driveway for the detail.

what households ask us.
Tap any topic to read the full breakdown.
The town runs six metered municipal lots, free for residents who hold a valid permit, and it states plainly that there is no free parking on Harding Avenue. In a place this small, space is the thing everyone budgets for.
Our van needs one parking space and access to your car. If the car lives on a street with a meter, tell us in the notes box, because a meter and a posted sign decide how long anything can stay at the curb.
A driveway is the easiest setup. An assigned stall behind a building also works when the manager knows the time. Nobody has to find an outlet or a hose, since the water and power ride in the van.
Collins Avenue is lined with multistory condominiums, hotels and apartments, and the cars of the people who live there park in covered or open-sided spaces beside the sand. That is workable for us, but it adds a few details to the booking.
Put the building name, the space number and a front desk or management contact in the notes box. If a board has rules about outside vendors, mention them now rather than at the entrance.
Managers sometimes want paperwork. We carry $2,000,000 in commercial liability insurance, and a certificate of insurance is available on request for HOA and building managers.
We try to take a corner that keeps walkways and doors clear, so neighbors can come and go while the car is being washed.
The 2020 Census counted 3,675 homes in Surfside and called 37.4 percent of them vacant, a label that includes part-year homes. QuickFacts lists 74 percent as owner-occupied. Plenty of cars here belong to people who spend only some of the year in town.
A car that sits for weeks gathers a coat of dust and a film from the coastal air, and the glass goes cloudy. Booking a Car Detailing at $299 before you return means you step into a clean cabin and a bright finish after the trip.
If you are in town most months and away on a schedule, VIP may fit better. You pay per visit, get priority booking and a standing day and time, with a rate from $149 per session.
The record from Miami International Airport, covering 1991 to 2020, shows 67.41 inches of rain a year, with about 10.5 inches in June and about 10.2 in September. Humidity averages 73.2 percent, so paint rarely dries in a hurry.
Each shower leaves drops that dry into spots on dark paint and glass. Left alone, the spots etch in and turn into a dull haze that soap will not lift.
Exterior Detail at $249 handles it with a decontamination wash, clay bar, polish and wax protection. Add Paint Decontamination at $70 if the paint feels rough under your hand, and the cheaper add-on is free when you pick two.
A town planning document mentions roughly two cars per household. In practice that is often an SUV or sedan that does the school and grocery runs, and a second car that sits in its space between weekend outings.
Book the busy one first. Car Detailing at $299 resets the daily driver inside and out in 2 to 3 hours. The second car often needs only a Quick Detail at $149 because it has seen less of the week.
Tell us how many vehicles there are and where each one is parked. Each car gets its own flat price and its own photos, and picking two add-ons on a booking makes the cheaper one free.
The Community Center at 9293 Harding Avenue has a pool, a snack bar and three tennis courts, and the town also has a tot lot at 90th Street and a dog park at 93rd. Those places explain what shows up in a family car.
Wet towels, cracker crumbs and dog hair settle into the seat seams and the carpet. Interior Detail at $199 uses steam and extraction on seats, carpet, panels and glass, and Pet Hair Removal is a $70 add-on.
Mention car seats and the worst spill when you book. We bring our own products, pH-balanced, and fresh microfibers for every vehicle, so one car's mess never travels to the next.
Parents like the timing: a visit runs while you are at a game or at the office.
The town has public beach access at the end of every street and an oceanfront path along the sand. On weekends a farmers market runs on the beach at 96th Street. Everyone seems to be carrying a cooler or a towel.
Sand is the part that damages a car. It grinds into seat seams and under mats, and it scratches when a cloth pushes it across a surface. We vacuum before anything wet touches the interior, then steam and extract.
If the mats took the worst of it, add Floor Shampoo at $70. A rinse of the doorsills and a shake of the mats between visits keeps the next detail lighter.
The town offers a free Freebee ride service and Miami-Dade Metrobus, and many residents handle errands on foot or by bike. That suits a mobile visit, since you are not tied to the car while we are on it.
We arrive, walk the car with you or a person you name, and start the ten steps. Two to three hours later, a Car Detailing is done, and the before and after photos reach your WhatsApp. You can pay by cash, credit card, Zelle or Venmo.
Our 100% written guarantee covers the visit: if something is not right, we return and redo it at no charge.
