One of Kingfisher’s youngest entrepreneurs told Kingfisher Lions Club members about his booming business.

Noah Banther, 19, informed Lions during Thursday’s address that he currently has two full-time employees at Banther Auto Detailing.

“I hired help six-to-eight months ago because we would be booked three to four months out and not a lot of people like that,” said Banther, the son of Kingfisher County Sheriff Dennis Banther and a 2019 graduate of Kingfisher High School.

Banther got his start by doing some projects for his grandfather, Paul Banther.

Not long after, he received some detail supplies for Christmas.

“I got some exotic cars after that and it sparked a passion,” Banther said.

He told those in attendance that he’s essentially self-taught from watching YouTube videos.

“But I did have to tailor some of that specifically for Kingfisher County and our dirt roads,” he said.

Banther took up shop in his grandfather’s building when it was built on Seventh Street two years ago.

He earned certification for some of his techniques and practices even while still in high school.

Banther is certified to apply a ceramic coating to all manner of vehicles, whether they go on land or water.

He described the coating as a “semi-permanent wax” but it’s shinier and it’s easier to clean the likes of bugs and tar afterward.

His work even won a nationwide contest among nearly 1,000 people who install the coating.

Banther said he offers maintenance plans on a weekly, bi-weekly and monthly basis.

He said he currently has about 50 vehicles he services monthly, a plan he said he recommends to customers.

Banther was introduced by Lions Club member Tim Abercrombie.
