"I’m in the people business serving detailing"
"Medway resident Grant Darst has detailed more than 1,000 cars since he was 16 years old. Now 24, Darst, whose clientele includes New England Patriots football players, has recently opened his first detailing studio in Franklin.
Showroom One opened on Jan. 14 at 837 Upper Union St., Unit 5, offering detailing, paint correction and ceramic coating. He shares the space with North Smithfield, Rhode Island, resident Brad Walling, who owns In-Side Out Detailing. After teaming up for a few gigs, they opened a shop together; Darst had being working out of a white van, adorned with the business’ logo, for the past six years.
The 2013 Medway High School graduate said he detailed more than 500 cars last year and about 75% of his clients return within a year."
