This Wasn't a Business Plan.
It Was a Calling.
Nova Shine is a family-owned, faith-driven mobile detailing business rooted in hard work, transformation, and the belief that God had a plan long before we did.
Who We Are
We're Ray and Kelsey Hunsberger — a husband-and-wife team out of Mishawaka, Indiana, delivering dealership-level mobile detailing with our sons Andrew and Carson by our side. Our standard is simple: every vehicle leaves looking and feeling like it did the day it was driven off the lot — or better.
This business didn't come from a big idea on a whiteboard. It came from a job loss, a health transformation, years of professional experience, and a whole lot of faith that something better was on the other side of hard.
Kelsey brings 7 years of Lexus dealership detail management to every single job — she knows what excellence looks like. I bring the kind of work ethic you build when you lose 207 pounds and realize that discipline is a lifestyle, not an event. Together, we bring Andrew and Carson into the work — teaching them what it looks like to serve people well, do it right even when nobody's watching, and build something worth keeping.
"We were positioned for this for years and never knew He had a plan — until He showed us."
207 Pounds Lost
Before Nova Shine, I had a war to win with my own health. 207 pounds gone — not a diet, but a complete transformation of how I live, move, and think. That kind of discipline doesn't stay in one area of your life. It bleeds into everything.
The Job That Got Sent Overseas
My last role was eliminated and shipped overseas. What felt like the floor falling out was actually the door opening. We didn't see it yet — but God did.
7 Years at Lexus
My wife spent 7 years as a detail manager at a Lexus dealership. She knows what a truly clean vehicle looks like at the highest standard. That experience is baked into every service we offer.
We Built a Family Business
We didn't just start a detailing company — we created a job for us and our kids. Our two sons work alongside us, learning what it means to show up, serve people well, and take pride in your work. Someday, we hope to hand this to them.
Faith-Based, Not Faith-Flavored
We tried doing life without God and it never worked. We're not shy about that. Nova Shine is built on faith — not as a marketing angle, but because it's true. We believe we were positioned for this for years and never knew He had a plan until He showed us.
Homeschool Family
The public school system failed our kids — so we took it back. We homeschool because we believe in being present, intentional, and in control of what our children learn. The same way we run our home, we run our business.

Raising the Next Generation On Our Terms
We homeschool Andrew and Carson because we believe in being present and intentional — not handing off the most important job to a broken system. Our sons already know what a clean car looks like, what a hard day's work feels like, and what it means to serve people with pride. Someday, this business is theirs if they want it.
