Who We Are

TWO PEOPLE, ONE STANDARD

Refined Ride Detailing is operated by Bryson and Marissa — a team that built this business themselves, with their own hands and their own standards, from day one.

Bryson's background in industrial painting and sales gave him the foundation: surface prep discipline, precision under pressure, and the communication skills to back it up. Marissa brings customer service experience, calm under pressure, and a thoroughness that never gets skipped — no matter how busy the schedule gets.

Together, they run every job personally. There's no disconnected crew. When you book Refined Ride, you get Bryson and Marissa — the same people who built the business and hold the standard.

Bryson — Precision & Craft

Years in professional painting taught Bryson to read surfaces, prep correctly, and never rush a finish. That discipline is applied to every vehicle he details.

Marissa — Care & Consistency

Marissa's customer service background shapes every client interaction. She handles each vehicle and each person with patience, professionalism, and attention to detail.

A Real Team

This isn't a one-person show with a helper. Bryson and Marissa are equal partners — in ownership, in effort, and in the standard they hold every single job to.

How It Started

NO PERFECT CONDITIONS

01

Started Lean

No fully equipped van, no unlimited budget. Equipment was kept minimal and transportation was through rideshare. The goal was simple: start, generate results, and improve from there.

02

Chose to Begin

Instead of waiting for the "perfect time," Bryson and Marissa chose to start with what they had. That decision built discipline, forced resourcefulness, and shaped the way the business runs today.

03

Built on Solutions

Every early challenge created a mindset focused on problem-solving — not excuses. That foundation is still part of how Refined Ride operates on every single job.

Why We Started

BUILT WITH PURPOSE

  • Build a reputation based on results, not promises
  • Develop a business that grows without losing its standard

The People Behind The Polish

MEET THE TEAM

BE

Co-Founder & Lead Detailer

Bryson Ewart

Co-Founder & Lead Detailer

Bryson built Refined Ride Detailing from the ground up — not from a business plan, but from a genuine drive to do work he could be proud of. His background in professional industrial painting taught him what real precision looks like: surface preparation, attention to contaminants, and never rushing a finish because speed will always show.

He carried that same discipline into sales — learning how to communicate, build trust, and deliver on a promise. Those two worlds, hands-on craftsmanship and people skills, are exactly what make him effective in this business.

Bryson leads every detail personally. He's on the job, doing the work, and holding himself to the standard he set when he started. That doesn't change as the business grows.

Professional Painting Background

Years of industrial painting at FabTec, Inc. gave Bryson a deep understanding of surface prep, product application, and what a truly clean finish requires.

Precision-Driven

He doesn't consider a job done until it's actually done right. Every panel, wheel, and trim piece gets the same level of focus.

Customer-First Every Time

Bryson works with a positive, professional attitude on every job — he wants clients to feel genuinely taken care of, not just serviced.

Long-Term Thinker

He started this business with a scalable vision — not just to detail cars, but to build something real, repeatable, and worth being proud of.

"I came from a background where the quality of your work is the only thing that speaks for you. I brought that straight into detailing."

MS

Co-Founder & Detailer

Marissa Shilling

Co-Founder & Detailer

Marissa is the kind of person who makes you feel like your vehicle is in good hands — because it is. From the first point of contact to the final result, she brings a warmth and professionalism that clients notice immediately. Her background in customer service shaped the way she treats every interaction: with patience, respect, and genuine care.

She's detail-oriented in the truest sense. Marissa doesn't move on until a job is complete, and she doesn't consider it complete until it's right. She keeps her composure when things get busy, stays organized under pressure, and consistently delivers without needing to be pushed.

Marissa helped build this business from nothing. She was here from the beginning — when transportation was through rideshare and the setup was minimal — and she holds the same standard today as the business continues to grow.

Naturally Customer-Focused

Her customer service background means she communicates clearly, handles people professionally, and makes every client feel genuinely taken care of — not just another appointment.

Nothing Gets Missed

Marissa approaches every vehicle with thoroughness and patience. She doesn't rush, and she doesn't cut corners — the job gets done right every single time.

Calm and Reliable Under Pressure

When the schedule is full and the pace is fast, Marissa stays steady. She's organized, efficient, and exactly the kind of person you want representing your business.

Invested in the Standard

She helped build Refined Ride from the ground up and takes real pride in every job. The work reflects her — and she makes sure it reflects well.

"I want every customer to feel like their car was taken care of the same way I'd want mine to be — with patience, attention, and no shortcuts."

What Sets Us Apart

NOT THE BIGGEST — THE BEST

We're not trying to out-scale everyone. We're focused on being the team people in Dorado trust, recommend, and call back.

Real Craft Behind Every Job

Bryson's painting background means surface prep and product application are done right — not rushed. That training shows in the finish.

Customers Are Treated Right

Marissa's customer service background means every client interaction is handled with patience and care. You won't feel like just another appointment.

Nothing Gets Skipped

Both Bryson and Marissa hold themselves to the same thorough standard. The details others overlook are exactly what they focus on.

Built to Last, Not to Rush

This business was started lean and built intentionally. Every improvement is earned. That foundation keeps the standard high as the business grows.

A FOUNDATION BUILT DAY BY DAY

Refined Ride Detailing is more than a service. It's something Bryson and Marissa are building together — from the first appointment to the next crew member, from the first referral to the long-term reputation.

Every car they touch, every customer they serve, and every step they take forward is part of a bigger vision. They're not finished — they're just getting started.

WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED.
