Detailing since 2011 and a car guy for longer. Sebastian sets the standards and the service menu, and he is the one behind every new process the crew learns. Off the clock, he is a husband and a dad to two young boys.
Two car guys building something for their families.
Glosswerks is Sebastian Dizon and Ted Fernandez. We met through work, bonded over cars, and decided to build something of our own that could take care of our families. In 2025, that became Glosswerks.
Sebastian's story
It started with a yellow CRX.
The first car I remember caring about was my dad's yellow 1990 Honda CRX. Five-speed, no power steering, a tiny hatchback that drove like a go-kart. I was hooked.
Right out of high school I took a job selling cars at a dealership in the Bay Area. That is where I got certified through P&S in 2011 and started detailing the cars on the lot. I would head home with my hands smelling like degreaser, and I loved it.
Cars stayed a big part of my life after that. A six-speed Mini Cooper S, then a WRX and a few years helping run a local Subaru owners' club. Glosswerks is the business I always wanted to build around all of it.
Ted's story
Owning a car was the dream.
I was born and raised in the Philippines, in a middle-class family of six. We were not poor, but we were far from well off. My parents worked hard to give us what we needed, and now I try to do the same for my own family of three.
I moved to the US in 2003, when I was 17. I worked part-time at a grocery store and then at Starbucks while I went to college for my degree.
I was always into cars. Growing up, owning one was a dream, because buying and keeping a car in the Philippines was hard to do. In the US it was within reach. My first car gave me the freedom to go wherever I wanted, and it taught me how to maintain it, keep it running, and customize it on a budget.
My career has taken a few turns. I spent four years as a substance abuse counselor in South Texas, then moved to California in 2015 and became a marketing manager for an events and travel company in San Francisco. Now I work in the autonomous vehicle industry, which brought me back to Texas. Along the way I tried a few businesses on the side, including network marketing, reselling, and building computers, but none of them grew past a part-time gig.
Back in Texas, my good friend and colleague Sebastian asked me to start Glosswerks with him. I knew his work ethic, his determination, and his experience in auto detailing, so I jumped on it.
I still remember our first official customer, a family with a Chevy Traverse on a weekday morning. It was my first time running our full process, and it took a lot longer than we planned. Not long after, we did a 10-year ceramic coating on a 2025 Ram 1500. The amount of work that went into that truck taught me more than anything else this first year.
Today I drive a Kia EV6 because it is efficient, cheap to keep up, and works for my family. Someday I want a truck, and a small manual car we can fix up together.

Who you will be working with.
Owner
Ted Fernandez
Ted met Sebastian through work and had been looking for the right business to build. He keeps the crews and the schedule running and makes sure every job leaves the driveway right. At home, it is Ted, his wife, their 3-year-old son, and Percy the dog, who spend their days making a mess of the house.
Family first
New to Kyle, and glad we landed here.
Ted and I are both fairly new to Kyle, and we love this community. It is where our kids are growing up.
Our favorite days off look about the same: trying a new restaurant, exploring somewhere new, and watching the kids try things for the first time. Ted's son would spend every afternoon at the Kyle Public Library if he could. Glosswerks exists so we can keep doing that, and so the people on our team can too.
When we pull into your driveway, we are your neighbors, and we take care of your vehicle the way we would want ours taken care of.
The crew
The people who will be in your driveway.
Our technicians are trained on the same P&S process Sebastian learned on, and they keep each other laughing through long summer days in Texas heat.
