MEET THE OWNER
My name is Nathaniel Arndt.
Growing up in Petoskey, Michigan, I was constantly surrounded by boats. Boating became a passion, and my love for cars quickly followed. What began as a hobby soon became an obsession, as I found myself working on boats and cars nearly every day.
The idea of owing a detailing business began in my college dorm room. Little did I know that the idea would not only evolve into a career, but would also lead me down a road of important life sessions, an endless network of friends, and countless unforgettable memories. I love this work, and my commitment to perfection is what drives Vivid every day.
Along with my entire team, I take great pride in our work. As boat, car and motorcycle enthusiasts ourselves, we understand how important your vehicles are to you, and treat every vehicle as if it were our own. Our #1 priority is to inspire confidence that your vehicle is in the best hands possible. It is our mission to deliver results that go above and beyond your expectations.
At Vivid Detailing and Customs, we believe work should be as enjoyable as it is rewarding. Our team is like family, built on the shared belief that you can have fun on the job while still delivering top-quality results. We’re all motorsport enthusiasts at heart, and nothing makes us happier than connecting with customers who share the same passions we do. Whether it’s protecting, restoring, or transforming a vehicle, we take pride in the craftsmanship we deliver and the friendships we build along the way.
