Detailing & Autostyling
Home / New Brighton
New Brighton isn't just another dot on our service map — it's where our studio doors actually open. QMD Detailing runs its flagship indoor shop right here off Old Highway 8, minutes from the I-694 and I-35W interchange. Walk in for ceramic coating and paint correction under controlled lighting, or keep the mobile convenience that started it all.
New Brighton, MN
QMD Detailing & Autostyling began in the summer of 2024 as founder Robert Delins ran a one-man mobile operation out of Minneapolis. By November 2025, that hustle became a permanent home: an indoor detailing studio in New Brighton at 833 3rd St SW #6. For residents near Long Lake Regional Park, Silver Lake, and Rice Creek, that means the detailer you book online is a real, in-town shop you can drive to — not a faceless brand that services the whole metro from a distance.
Being based in New Brighton also means we understand what this specific stretch of Ramsey County does to a vehicle. Winters coat everything in road salt and brine that eats at paint and undercarriage; summers layer on tree pollen, lake-country dust, and relentless UV. Whether you commute the 694 corridor daily or mostly drive between here, Mounds View, and Shoreview, we build our detailing, correction, and coating work around the way cars actually age in the north metro.
Mobile & In-Shop
Our signature Full Detail is available two ways for New Brighton drivers: mobile, where we come to your home or office anywhere around Silver Lake, Old Highway 8, and the surrounding neighborhoods, or in-shop at the New Brighton studio when you'd rather drop the keys and let us work. Either way you get a complete interior deep clean — upholstery, leather, carpets, glass, and console — plus a full exterior wash, decontamination, and protection. It's the reset a car needs after a salted-road winter or a pollen-heavy summer, done with no shortcuts.

Swirl & Scratch Removal
Before any ceramic coating goes on, paint has to be corrected — and that only happens right under our controlled studio lighting in New Brighton. We offer both 1-step and 2-step machine polishing to remove swirl marks, light scratches, haze, and the wash-induced defects that years of Minnesota driving leave behind. It's the essential foundation that makes a coating look flawless instead of locking imperfections in. Local drivers can bring the car straight to the 833 3rd St SW studio, where proper lighting reveals every defect we're there to fix.

Gtechniq Certified
Ceramic coating is where our indoor studio earns its keep. As a Gtechniq-certified installer, we apply everything from 1-year EXO protection to multi-year CSL systems that last up to roughly nine years — inside a dust- and temperature-controlled bay right here in New Brighton, never in a driveway. The result is a hydrophobic, UV- and chemical-resistant finish with deep gloss that shrugs off Minnesota's winter brine and summer sun. Because coating demands a controlled environment, this service is studio-only, and New Brighton residents have it in their own backyard.

Ongoing Care
A great detail should last, so we offer monthly maintenance plans that keep New Brighton vehicles looking their best between full services — especially valuable through salt season, when regular upkeep protects the work you've already paid for. For local businesses around New Brighton, Arden Hills, and Mounds View, we also run commercial fleet and partnership programs so your vehicles stay presentable on the road. Being the in-town shop makes recurring service simple: consistent hands, consistent standards, close to home.
Why QMD
This is our home turf, not a territory we visit. The studio at 833 3rd St SW #6 is the flagship — a controlled indoor space for the correction and coating work that can't be done right in a driveway, paired with the mobile convenience Robert built the business on. New Brighton residents get both: a real shop to walk into and a detailer who'll still come to them. That combination is hard to find anywhere near the 694/35W interchange.
We back every job with a satisfaction guarantee and a simple promise — we treat your car like our own, with no shortcuts. Our 5-star Google reviews come from neighbors across New Brighton, St. Anthony, and Shoreview who've seen the difference controlled-environment work makes. Booking is online and straightforward, whether you want us in your driveway on Old Highway 8 or you'd rather stop by the studio in person.
FAQ
Our studio is at 833 3rd St SW #6, New Brighton, MN 55112, just off Old Highway 8 near the I-694 and I-35W interchange. We're open Monday through Friday, 8am to 9pm. While we recommend booking online first so we can schedule your service properly, you're welcome to stop in to discuss ceramic coating, paint correction, or a full detail in person.
Yes. Mobile detailing is how QMD started, and we still bring our Full Detail service to homes and offices throughout New Brighton and the surrounding area. Keep in mind that ceramic coating and paint correction are studio-only, since they require our controlled indoor lighting and dust-free environment — but for those you're only minutes from the shop.
Almost always, yes. Paint correction removes swirl marks, light scratches, and haze so the surface is truly clean before we seal it. A ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath, so correcting first is the foundation of a flawless, long-lasting finish. We handle both under controlled lighting at our New Brighton studio and will assess your paint before recommending a coating tier.
New Brighton winters mean constant road salt and brine that corrode paint, trim, and the undercarriage, while summer brings UV and pollen. A full detail with decontamination resets the surface, a ceramic coating adds year-round hydrophobic and chemical resistance, and a monthly maintenance plan keeps salt from undoing that protection. We build our recommendations around north-metro driving conditions.
Walk into the studio at 833 3rd St SW or have us come to you. Call (612) 454-0813 or book online — QMD Detailing is New Brighton's home-turf shop for full detailing, ceramic coating, and paint correction.
