2015

Incredibly Clean Inc. was born out of a deep passion for both entrepreneurship and the art of car detailing. Founded in 2015 by Cornelius Horton, the company began as a reflection of his lifelong love for cars and the immaculate shine they carry when driven off the lot. But Cornelius' journey to creating Incredibly Clean wasn’t a straight line—it was built on years of experience in a very different world.

Before stepping into the world of detailing, Cornelius was a well-known celebrity barber, a role that introduced him to some of the most influential figures in the entertainment industry. His skills as a barber earned him a loyal following, and even today, he still occasionally services his high-profile clients. Yet, while he was mastering his craft with clippers, a different dream was quietly taking shape. Cornelius had always been captivated by the idea of multiple businesses, and his growing love for cars—especially their stunning shine when freshly detailed—pushed him to pursue something new.

This is where Incredibly Clean Inc. was born. What started as a passion for perfection soon turned into a service offering that catered to high-end clientele. Today, Cornelius and his team offer premium detailing services, with a focus on weekly and biweekly maintenance for their clients' fleets of luxury cars.

But Cornelius’ vision didn’t stop there. From the very beginning, he dreamed of expanding Incredibly Clean to serve high-end motor car dealerships throughout Tampa Bay and the surrounding areas. What began as a simple idea has grown into a business that combines quality craftsmanship, customer service, and the ambition to redefine automotive care.

In 2018, Incredibly Clean Inc. took another bold step forward by expanding into the janitorial services industry. Recognizing the opportunity to bring the same level of meticulous care that made the automotive side of the business so successful, Cornelius decided to extend Incredibly Clean’s services into the corporate world. With a deep belief that attention to detail should be a standard across all areas of business, the janitorial division was born.

The goal was clear: elevate office spaces with the same precision and high standards that had already earned the company a reputation in the automotive world. Incredibly Clean began offering specialized cleaning services for offices, ensuring that each workspace—from the floors to the windows—was treated with the same level of care as a luxury vehicle. Cornelius and his team quickly became known for their exceptional attention to detail, creating clean, professional environments that helped businesses shine just as brightly as the cars they worked on.

The growth didn’t stop with janitorial services. With each new venture, Cornelius reinforced his commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Whether detailing a high-end car or cleaning an office building, Incredibly Clean’s mission remained the same: deliver top-tier service and create environments that people could be proud of.

In early 2023, Incredibly Clean Inc. took another monumental leap forward in its journey, broadening its offerings to include Paint Protection Film (PPF), window tinting, and specialized services tailored to high-end, prestigious clients with classic and exotic cars. This expansion represented more than just new services; it marked a transformative moment for the company.

The decision to venture into these high-tech, high-demand services was a natural progression. As the demand for luxury car care continued to grow, Cornelius saw an opportunity to provide even more value to his clients—protecting their prized assets with the latest in cutting-edge technology. Offering PPF and window tinting not only complemented the detailing services Incredibly Clean already provided but also established the company as a leader in protecting the finish and appearance of luxury cars. This new chapter was about ensuring that every client’s car stayed in pristine condition long after it left the lot.

To ensure the highest standards, Cornelius and his team became certified with Xpel, one of the top companies in the industry for PPF training. This certification allowed Incredibly Clean to offer expert-level installation and unparalleled customer service, reinforcing the company’s reputation for excellence. Along with this certification, Incredibly Clean also became an authorized seller for both PPF and window tinting, allowing them to provide top-of-the-line products to their clients directly, offering them both value and quality in one complete package.
