Our Story

Who Are We? 

Welcome to McCorkle Detailing, your go-to place for quality car care and exceptional service. I’m Chris McCorkle, the founder, and my journey began back in my freshman year of high school in 2018. Growing up around car shows, I was always inspired by the clean, beautiful cars on display, dreaming that one day, I’d have one of my own.

However, I took a different path and went the truck route instead. At 15, I got my first truck—an old, 20-year-old rust bucket to most people—but I was determined to keep it spotless. That fall, at the James Dean Festival in Fairmount, IN, I discovered the products that would help turn my passion into success, and the rest is history.

Starting the Grind

After purchasing Jax Wax Car Care Products, I started washing and waxing my truck every Sunday, keeping it spotless despite teasing from classmates. This passion led me to start detailing other vehicles, beginning with my grandpa’s truck in 2019. My mom’s Facebook post showcasing my work gained attention, and after my second client shared their results, business took off. I spent school evenings, weekends, and breaks growing my dream, which has since evolved into establishing McCorkle's Jax Wax.

My Mission

My mission is to share my passion for detailing by delivering top-quality results and professional support. Whether you hire me to clean your vehicle or add Jax Wax to your arsenal, I’m dedicated to helping you achieve exceptional outcomes. Your vehicle reflects your personality and hard work, and I prioritize providing professional results and guidance every step of the way.
