Working near the square
Parking around the square is tight. If you work downtown or anywhere else in town, a wash or interior reset at the office works whenever the parking allows it.
Mobile Detailing · Granbury, TX
Mobile detailing in Granbury, from right here in town.
Granbury is home base for Shelby's Detailing. Shelby drives to your house, office or boat slip with his own water, power and products, and travel inside Hood County is always included.
Home base
Granbury is where the route starts.
Shelby's Detailing is based in Granbury, the Hood County seat, so a detail in town is the shortest drive on the schedule. Whether you live a few blocks off the historic courthouse square, near Harbor Lakes, along the water in Port Ridglea or next door in the gated city of DeCordova, Shelby comes to the vehicle instead of the other way around.
Granbury has spread out along US 377, SH 144 and FM 51, and crossing town at the wrong hour can eat an afternoon. With a mobile detail the vehicle gets washed, corrected or coated where it is already parked, at home or in the office lot, and you keep your day.
Lake Granbury
What the lake does to paint and gel coat.
Lake Granbury is the Brazos River held back by the De Cordova Bend Dam, which began filling the lake in 1969. The upper Brazos runs past natural salt deposits, and the Brazos River Authority reports that chloride levels in the lake have at times been higher than the state drinking water standard. When that water dries on a hull, a windshield or a truck that just backed down the boat ramp, it leaves white mineral spots that an ordinary wash will not lift.
That is why boat work here starts with the waterline and the hard-water spotting before any wax goes on. Boats and RVs are priced by the foot: a wash and wax starts at $20 per foot, and the Gelcoat or Paint Enhancement level is $28 per foot. Shelby can work at your slip, in a storage lot or on the trailer in your driveway.
Cars and trucks get the same spotting on glass and dark paint. Spots that have etched in come out with machine polishing, and a ceramic coating makes the next round much easier to rinse away.
Around town
A few Granbury specifics.
Gated neighborhoods
In DeCordova Bend Estates and other gated communities, put Shelby on your guest list or share the gate instructions when you book.
Summer heat
Hot paint dries soap fast and sun bakes headlight lenses yellow. Appointments start at 8:30am, the cooler part of a July day, and headlight restoration starts at $125 a pair.
Staying on a rhythm
Living close to home base makes a regular maintenance wash easy to schedule. Shelby keeps some vehicles on a weekly visit and others monthly.
