Pete’s
53’ . We’re not
sure how many Professional Detailers and Southern Californian’s are aware of
Pete’s Wax Works in Norco, California, but anyone who is surely knew owner Pete
Martinez. For those of you that were fortunate enough to meet or talk to him on
the phone can agree with us that, words cannot explain what an
incredible
person Pete was. Pete brought to the Inland Empire a Chemical Guys shop that
was open daily to car enthusiast, detailers, friends and anyone else who wanted
to experience detailing at its finest. Pete brought his love for cars and
motorcycles into a venue where he could share and teach auto lovers about the
art of detailing. Pete’s Wax Works has educated, bread and helped out hundreds
of detailers, enthusiastic, car lovers, bikers, collectors and more importantly
friends in understanding paint care, the detailing industry and proper use of
the complete line of Chemical Guys Products.

Pete was
not only the ultimate source for detailing knowledge but more important a true
friend, a man with a heart of gold and an amazing personality that could bring
shine to every day and every surface. From cars to bikes, Pete took his love
for the auto, his 20+ years of experience in paint blending and his professional
expertise in auto detailing to the next level educating people on his 53’ years
of professional experiences in the paint industry.
Pete
stands for everything that one would look for in a teacher and a friend, he
stands for detailing excellence, the love for the auto / motorcycle and for
everyone here at Chemical Guys Pete was and always will be a part of our family
Pete passed
away on February 13, 2007, at the age of 53, but for everyone who knew him, learned
from him, or shared a laugh along with him, he will live on forever.
Pete’s Wax Works in Norco is
open to everyone with a love for detailing, Pete’s Family and knowledgeable
employees keep Pete’s dream alive by keeping the store fully stocked with
Chemical Guys Products and Accessories open 6 days a week, a cool local hang out
and the playgrounds for many car collectors, bikers, professional detailers and

gathering of friends, family, clients, and customers who gathered in remembrance
of Pete Martinez, an amazing guy)
We wish
that 53’ could have been formulated while Pete was alive so that he himself
could enjoy its beautiful wet liquid shimmer, on one of the many Wax Works
Motorcycle Rides Pete and his wife went on weekly after leaving Wax works.
For everyone

met Pete let it stand for friendship, dedication, and a love for the auto.
