The Armor Detailing Story

​

The Back Story

 

Born and Raised in Elk Grove, California, Blake has always had a love for cars. From racing go-carts to attending car shows and watching races at Laguna Seca and Sonoma Raceway, he has always enjoyed everything the automotive world has to offer. Following high school he pursued a career in the golf industry but after 3 years of following that dream and taking it across the country to Vero Beach, FL, God had a different plan and he eventually turned back to cars. 

​

The Name

 

"At the conception of the company I faced the challenge of naming it. I knew I didn't want it to be something centered around me but I wanted it to point back to God and the abilities He has given me to even make this happen. So I started praying. I was praying every day for a week or two and eventually I was coming down to the wire with legal forms and needed to have a business name to put on the documents. So one morning while praying, with my Bible in hand, I asked God to just point me to a scripture that might help. It was right then that God spoke to me clearly and told me to go to Psalm 3:3 which says, 'But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts my head'. It's hard to explain what happened when I read that, but as I read the word 'shield', I instantly was reminded of the 'Armor of God' in Ephesians 6:10-17. Right then I spoke out loud, 'Armor Detailing' and knew without a shadow of a doubt that the Lord had just answered my prayers! Later that day, while telling my wife, I realized the reference that God pointed me to was 3:3 and my whole life 'my number' has always been 33, from racing go-carts to football and on to lacrosse, I have always been number 33 and I just think it's awesome that God cares about all the details!"

The Logo

 

With Psalm 3:3 playing such a vital role in the discovery of the company name, it was important to also incorporate it into the logo. The shield design was created with the verse in mind and the reference itself is displayed above the shield to represent that His Word is to be highly esteemed. The red line represents the blood of Jesus that was spilt for every person and the white line represents the purity and newness that we receive when we accept that precious blood as the payment for our sins. As you can see, we pay attention to the details here at Armor Detailing. We want to spread the message of the Gospel to as many as we can, even through something like auto detailing.

The Mission

​

In an effort to do our part to spread the good news of Christ to this lost and dying world, we have determined to give 3.3% (roughly $5) of every detail to a ministry that is doing the work of the Kingdom.
