the.com/detailer

A surgeon for cars, armed with toothbrushes and the patience of a saint.

means A person whose job is meticulously cleaning, polishing, and restoring a vehicle inside and out, attending to every small surface most people ignore.

from From 'detail' plus the agent suffix '-er,' literally 'one who works the details.' 'Detail' itself came into English from the French 'détailler,' to cut into pieces (de- + tailler, to cut — the same 'tailler' behind 'tailor'), so a detailer is, fittingly, someone who breaks a car down into its tiniest cuttable parts and tends to each one.
