We are grateful to be a part of a community that welcomes and invites new neighbors to build new lives and follow their dreams. For Ernest, a Cameroonian immigrant, his dream became a life-changing reality when he won the US Visa Lottery in 2021. With a burning desire to create his own business, Ernest embarked on a journey that led him to Northwest Arkansas. In January of 2023, he finally realized his entrepreneurial dream with the establishment of DetailKL, a mobile car detailing business. Ernest’s now growing business pays homage to his two daughters, Kirsten and Lisa.
Leaving Home for a New Beginning
Ernest’s journey from his home country of Cameroon and start anew in the United States was not an easy one. However, he was determined to provide a better future for his family and chase his entrepreneurial aspirations. Winning the US Visa Lottery offered him the opportunity he had been waiting for, and he set off on a journey filled with hope and anticipation.
DetailKL: The Birth of a Dream
With his feet firmly planted on American soil, Ernest wasted no time in pursuing his dream of business ownership. Combining his passion for cars and his eye for detail, he launched DetailKL in January of 2023. The name itself holds a significant meaning, as it represents the initials of his two beloved daughters. They were right there with him from the start, assisting him in his very first car cleaning job.
The Mobile Advantage
Ernest recognized the growing demand for convenient and high-quality car care services. DetailKL operates as a mobile car detailing business, catering to customers in Northwest Arkansas. This innovative approach allows Ernest to bring his expertise directly to clients, whether they are at the office or home, saving them time and effort. With his fully equipped car, he can transform a dull and dirty vehicle into a sparkling gem, all while providing the utmost convenience.

DetailKL places a strong emphasis on providing exceptional service and exceeding customer expectations. Ernest’s attention to detail ensures that each car receives meticulous care, from thorough exterior washes and waxing to interior vacuuming and upholstery cleaning. He takes great pride in his work, treating every vehicle as if it were his own. This commitment to quality has garnered praise from numerous satisfied customers, resulting in a growing base of loyal clients.
Overcoming Challenges
Starting a business in a new country presents its own set of challenges. For Ernest, language barriers and cultural differences were initial obstacles to navigate. However, his determination and willingness to learn along with his warm personality enabled him to overcome these challenges and forge strong connections within the community.
Inspiring Others and the Future
Ernest’s entrepreneurial journey serves as an inspiration to those who dare to chase their dreams, no matter the odds. By bringing DetailKL to life, he has not only created a successful business but also paved the way for others.
