The Products
Behind the
Results

Not every detailer uses professional-grade products. As an authorized Gyeon distributor, A Touch of Class uses and stocks the same coatings and care products trusted by elite detailers worldwide.

Gyeon's chemistry is formulated for long-term performance, not just initial results. That's the difference between a detail that looks good for a week and one that protects your vehicle for years.

Quality Process

Pure Water.
Spotless
Results.

Most detailers use tap water. Tap water contains calcium, magnesium, and dissolved minerals that leave spots on paint and degrade ceramic coatings over time. We don't take that risk.

A Touch of Class uses a high-end water filtration system — every wash, every time. It's a detail most customers never think to ask about. It's a detail we've never been willing to skip.

01
Zero water spots.Filtered water leaves no mineral residue. Paint and glass dry completely clean.
02
Coating-safe wash.Hard water degrades ceramic coatings over time. Pure water protects your investment.
03
Better final result.Water quality affects the finished look. We start cleaner so the result is cleaner.

Our Story

A Business
Built on Pride

A Touch of Class didn't start with a business plan or a commercial building. It started in a garage — with a man named Jack Pennington, a genuine love for clean vehicles, and an unshakeable belief that if something was worth doing, it was worth doing right.

Jack built the business from the ground up, earning a reputation in the local community one car and one handshake at a time. His philosophy was simple: treat every vehicle like it belongs to someone who loves it. Because it does. That standard never wavered.

Jack passed the business to his son Elijah Pennington, who grew up watching the craft and learning what it truly means to take pride in your work. Carrying on what his father built is something Elijah doesn't take lightly — and it shows in every detail.

Today, A Touch of Class continues with the same values Jack instilled, now backed by professional Gyeon products, a high-end water filtration system, and two decades of hard-earned experience. The name is the same. The standard has only risen.

Vehicle Protection

Coatings
That Last

Not a wax. Not a sealant. A semi-permanent nano-technology layer that bonds to your clear coat — applied using Gyeon's professional-grade systems.

Entry Protection

Single-Layer Coating

Reliable hydrophobic protection, UV resistance, and easier maintenance washing for daily drivers. Gyeon foundation-level protection done right.

Enthusiast

Multi-Layer System

A base coat topped with a dedicated top coat — deeper gloss, enhanced hardness, and longer-lasting protection for vehicles that deserve the full treatment.

Show & Collector

Decontamination + Correction + Coating

Full paint decontamination, machine correction to eliminate all defects, then multi-layer ceramic application. For vehicles where perfection is non-negotiable.
