A Race with Many Names
Since its inception in 1962, the race has undergone various name changes due to corporate sponsorships. However, since 1992, the Rolex Watch Company has been the title sponsor, emphasizing the precision and excellence synonymous with the Rolex brand. Winning drivers, across all classes, are rewarded with a coveted Rolex Daytona watch, adding a touch of timeless luxury to their achievements.
The Evolution of Endurance
The roots of the Rolex 24 trace back to a six-hour race in 1959, evolving into a 24-hour event in 1966. This challenging race has seen its fair share of historic moments, with drivers navigating the complex Sports Car Course layout that combines the tri-oval with an infield road course.
Women Making History
In 1966, Suzy Dietrich, along with her teammates Janet Guthrie and Donna Mae Mims, entered the race, making history as one of the first women's teams to finish an international-standard 24-hour race. This groundbreaking moment showcased the inclusivity and spirit of endurance racing.

He is an avid car enthusiast with over 19 years of high-end detailing experience, continuously educating himself on the latest products and techniques. He has trained at NXT, is XPEL factory trained, and a Modesta Verified Installer. Steven's passion for automobiles and detailing has taken him all over the world, even detailing in Europe and the Middle East. Steven is the creative mind behind all SD detailing processes and procedures. Steven is also an amateur photographer and takes nearly every photo that you see on this website and our social media platforms. In his spare time he enjoys photography, cycling, riding his motorcycle, traveling, and spending time with his wife, Kim, and their two animals.
Kim, Steve’s wife, joined the team part-time in 2013. Since then, her detailing skills have evolved to include paint protection film application, Modesta coatings, and polish work.

The environment in which we work has a huge affect on the quality of work produced. For us, this means having two separate climate-controlled spaces to accommodate for spikes in heat and humidity. It means separating our high-end detailing services to prevent contamination in film and coating applications. Our Downtown Orlando studio is 5,600 sq. ft. of air conditioned space with 2,500 sq. ft. dedicated to clean PPF and coating applications.
We have an indoor wash bay with warm and deionized water. We utilize Rupes machines, LED overhead lighting, and Scangrip/LED portable lighting. We have a 4-post lift, scissor lift, and QuickJacks portable car lifts. Our spaces are separately outfitted with right LED lighting for the specific work being performed.
