If I were to be searching the web the name and logo would be what would draw me in. The first couple wouldn`t do it for me, in fact would turn me away. But that last one is very simple and professional looking and would draw me in to look further.

quebert- Yeah! The version with a Red "P" works best for me. The basic design is really good IMO, and the different colors make it just right, easy to figure out.
The color version of the newest logo looks really good. The font is great and having "Auto Detailing" there is a win. One thing: to me, the star burst that should look shiny instead looks like a collision symbol. I think something a little lighter weight will say "radiance" better. It`s a minor quibble.

For me, I kinda dig the Perpetual Radiance thing and even the shield but I`d bag the crown.
The `Vehicle Detailing` thing I`d rethink, just doesn`t roll off of the tongue. Unless you`re specifically shooting for big rigs and/or boats, I`d think Automotive Detailing would be better.
Don`t at all like the Infinity Swoosh and the font that goes with it in your other design...a bit cartoonish to me.
Even if you ditch the Shield for something a bit simpler, I personally like the Perpetual Radiance thing...classy to me.
In the end, just my thoughts...consider them the `lowest common denominator` view from a simpleton`s mind
Edit: Images towards end didnt load before I started babbling but I think this is pretty cool. Maybe plays around with some thicker fonts for the Auto Detailing subtext, no curvy stuff though...upright, straight, classy.

Appreciate the feedback, I liked his logo as soon as I saw it. I think just maybe my pride was a bit bruised as I had invested so much time in my original shield logo. Hearing others like it is making me lean towards it.
I`ll have multiple color schemes for it, not because I don`t like it. I`m a goofball and I get work shirts + pants in a bunch of different matching colors. I know it`s not usual to have a logo in different colors. But I literally have button up work shirts in 6 different colors. And imho it`s just about impossible to do a logo in 1 color pattern and have it look good on every color shirt. I like his colors though, reminds me of the AC Delco logo, I think they use the same 2 colors *GOOGLES IT* yup.
I currently have shirts in
black
navy blue
chocolate brown
khaki
royal blue
postman blue
gray
silver gray
Depending on my mood I change colors day to day. Automotiveworkwear offers Red Kap shirts in 20 different colors, I`ll order a shirt with the new logo in every color they also sell pants in. Thankfully, they don`t have pants in all 20 colors lol. I`m Obsessive and silly and probably partially dumb. Picking one color for work clothes is probably best, but what fun is that?
I get what you`re saying about the star burst, but since it will be stitched on a shirt I`m not exactly sure there`s a way to make it look shiny. LOL collision symbol, after reading that I can`t stop seeing it.

I think with some modifications the shield logo could be a lot better. Your suggestion was spot on. My problem with it is, I spent a lot time working on it so I`m biased towards it. I`ve gotten a lot of good feedback on a logo some dude on here made on a train ride. So maybe I need to put my feelings aside and go with something new.
Thank you to everyone who`s replied, if I hadn`t asked here, I probably would have used the pimp my ride looking logo. I didn`t see pimp my ride until it was mentioned.
Okay, I`m not going to post 2 dozen different images I made to the logo, but I did play around with the font for the name and auto detailing. I tried like 22 different fonts, this one stood out to me. It`s the same font for both, just different weights. Or, should I stick with the original font? And should I have the auto detailing font be the same weight as Perpetual Radiance? I really don`t like how similar the O and D look. That`s going to be a problem with any boxy font though.
I want to get a bit more opinions and test out anything that gets suggested here. I`ll probably order a ridiculous number of shirts so I only have to wash them once a month lol. I`d hate to pay to have the logo digitized, and like 20 shirts embroidered and it not look right.

Quebert- Heh heh, I think it`s great that you`re really trying to get this right! I don`t think that having a good wardrobe (even with just work clothes) is silly at all and IMO it`ll help convey a Pro impression. Then when they see your work they`ll think "yep, total pro!" and be willing to recommend you to others. In part because they know you`ll show up looking like a serious Pro. "Look sharp, be sharp" as they say 
Post up that font so we can see what you`re planning! I think it`s good that you`re thinking "hmm...the "O" and "D" look too similar", that`s exactly the kind of thing to avoid. You don`t want anyone needing even a few seconds to figure it out, better to be cut-and-dried obvious. Towards that end, I`d keep the "Auto Detailing" type stuff a little smaller but still easy to read.
And yes indeed, figure it all out before you order

It`s not silly to have good work clothes, but I said I might order work shirts in 20 different colors, that`s kind of overkill lol. Last go around when I was ordering shirts (3 years ago) I almost ordered coveralls with a HUGE logo embroidered on the back. I thought "hummm, Nascar pit crew people wear them. And I`ve never seen a detailer wear one, it`s a good idea. No, it`s not a good idea. And that`s probably why I`ve never seen a detailer wearing them. The sad thing is, even knowing that, I still have a voice somewhere in the back of my saying to order some lol.

Heh heh, even having the shirts in 20 different colors doesn`t sound silly to me! I guess I set the Silliness Bar kinda high when it comes to one`s wardrobe..hey, I have a gazillion of some things 
Heh heh#2, well...the coveralls with a huge logo *would* maybe peg my Silliness Meter But maybe you oughta buy one pair just to scratch that itch and see if you ever wear `em (more than once 
).

But maybe you oughta buy one pair just to scratch that itch and see if you ever wear `em (more than once ).Sorry I didn`t see this sooner. When I wrote "shiny," I meant that the symbol should look like it is representing the shine coming from a surface, not that the symbol itself would be shiny. I think something lighter weight will give that effect better. Like in this Mr. Clean image (bottom left of the text at the top):

I like your shiny idea and now that I understand it I can work it into the logo. For anyone still following my blabbering, I asked a few people and got some suggestions from them, so this is what I have now. I`m curious what you all think about the Perpetual & Radiance being split up like that with the auto detailing in the middle. Also, is having eco-conscious too wordy? Not only maybe it might be too many words for the logo to flow, but I need to remember it`s going to be fairly small stitched on a shirt and might not even be readable. I`m going to go figure out how to make the shine symbol fit.
Attachments
Okay, so I used my barely passable image editing skills and tried to incorporate a shine thing.
The idea for this just sort of came to me, I don`t like how it looks but I think I maybe like the idea. Don`t think a lot of people would know what the buffer`s suppose to be, any feedback on it? I`m trying to figure out how to do the 1/2 & 1/2 cut out one like the original with the crash symbol. But I`m drawing a blank here. I`m sure this addition probably sucks, so it would be helpful if a few people replied "dude that idea sucks" so I don`t waste time trying to fix it. Or, if you think it has some sort of potential maybe an idea how I can make it not suck.

For me, this one wins...
Okay, so I used my barely passable image editing skills and tried to incorporate a shine thing.
Appreciate the feedback BudgetPlan1, 1 vote for shine logo. Whichever gets 3 votes first will be the one I get digitized and use for my work media. And if nobody else replies, then the shine one wins by default. As one person liked it (better than none) and he sent me a BRAND NEW bottle of Taklamakan Overcoat V3 last week. So really, his opinion should be worth at least 2 votes lol.
Okay, I lied about not posting more logos. I got feedback on AGO and made ONE last one. Unless someone likes it, but has suggestions for changes, no need to post more. Feedback on this one would be lovely. And it`s not final, the clipart I found I`m just using the low res until I decide if I like it. Then I`ll plop the $20 down on it. I still like the font logo one, but this one has a polisher on it, which at least makes it look detailing related *shrug* I know the polisher isn`t very detailed, but it will be a small`ish logo stitched on shirts, so there`s not a ton of room for anything with a bunch of detail. And I like the color scheme, but I`m wondering if it`ll be too dark on black shirts? Was thinking a lighter shade of both.
Attachments
Never mind the last 2, I posted them on AGO and multiple people said "normal people won`t even know what the polisher is" I often forget that pretty much everyone who`s not me isn`t into detailing. So I can`t expect them to see a DA on the logo and know what it is lol. Back to the text logo, 1 person liked it on here, I like it, and my dad said it looks nice. So there`s the 3 people I needed.
Thank you again to everyone on here who steered me away from becoming the pimp my ride of detailing.

quebert- Heh heh, I`m turning this into a Thread That Won`t Die
I agree with that "normal people won`t even know..".
Glad you got the three votes, that oughta be great. And I for one am glad it won`t have people thinking "Pimp My Ride".
I don`t think the colors will be too dark/wrong on black, just might have to tweak them a bit if they`ll disappear into the other 18 colors of shirts you get
