From Historic Airplanes to Priceless Classics & Exotics: Winnipeg Detailer Selected for McCall’s Motorworks Revival Detailing Team at Monterey Car Week

It’s been a red-hot summer for prestigious detailing projects and Winnipeg detailer Cris Aquino of Dr. Shine Auto Spa is right in the heart of it. Having just returned from Seattle’s Museum of Flight where he detailed the original presidential jet Air Force One and dozens of historic aircraft; he is now headed to Monterey, CA August 20-24, where he has been selected for the highly prestigious McCall’s Motorworks Revival and The Quail Team. As exclusive detailers for both events, he will prep multimillion-dollar classics and exotics as part of Monterey Car Week.

Because collectors are among the most discerning car owners in the world, only the most senior-level and experienced paint corrections specialists from Master detailer Renny Doyle’s infamous Detail Mafia are selected for the two posh events beginning with car aficionado Gordon McCall’s Motorworks Revival on Wednesday, August 22. Over 3,000 of the most influential automotive collectors, car enthusiasts, celebrities, and automotive professionals in the world gather to enjoy gourmet culinary delights while strolling through the array of rare vintage race cars, motorcycles, and private jets, all of which have been spruced up for show by Aquino and the 16-man detailing team. Their work is as much on display as the vehicles themselves.

The team will also offer their exquisite detailing services to The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering at the Quail Lodge & Golf Club on Friday, August 24 where they will detail automotive collections valued at $15 to $20 million. Among them are pre-war sports and racing vehicles, supercars, the Great Ferraris, custom coachwork, and sports and racing motorcycles.

Aquino is a member of the Detail Mafia, an exclusive group of detailers who have proven themselves 'Made-Men' after years of mentorship, teamwork, continuing education, public appearances, product/equipment demonstrations; and exceptional leadership, and professional skills. They are the most accomplished and technologically-advanced team of automotive detailers in the U.S., and artisans in the care and maintenance of automotive paint and automotive interiors.

Among the vehicles the McCall’s exclusive team have prepped in the past include Frank Sinatra’s 1976 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, Bryan Fuller’s Shogun bike, and Gordon McCall’s own 1937 Fiat 500. The Detail Mafia is as likely to clean a fleet of Masaratis, Porsches, and Ferraris!

“I wasn’t sure you could top detailing the first Air Force One presidential jet in terms of celebrated projects,” says Aquino. “But when you consider the exclusivity, the elegance, and the special emphasis on luxury, custom, exotic, and vintage automobiles, motorcycles, and even aircraft at these events, I am awestruck by being trusted with their perfection!”
