Giving Back With Pride: Another First Car Delivered Thanks to The First Car Project
At Austin’s Clean Cars Auto Detailing in Sellersburg, Indiana, we believe that detailing is more than just making vehicles shine—it’s about helping people move forward. And sometimes, it’s about helping someone start their journey altogether.
That’s why we’re honored to be part of The First Car Project for the second year in a row.
What Is The First Car Project?
The First Car Project is a nonprofit initiative that helps young adults aging out of foster care by providing them with safe, reliable transportation. As these young individuals begin their adult lives—whether attending college, entering the workforce, or simply gaining independence—a dependable vehicle can be the key to opportunity.
This amazing organization not only supplies cars but also provides mentorship, encouragement, and dignity to youth who deserve a strong start.
And let’s be honest—we all remember our first car. That sense of freedom. That feeling of possibility. It’s more than transportation; it’s a life milestone. And now, thanks to this project, another young woman gets to experience that moment.
A Detail That Makes a Difference
This year’s First Car Project vehicle was a beautifully restored green Ford Escort—and we made sure it looked better than ever. From a full interior deep clean to a spotless exterior shine, our team treated this car like it was going into a showroom.
We invested hours of care into ensuring this car didn’t just look good—it felt good. Our mission was to give her something she could be proud of.
Why This Matters to Us
Our team has proudly partnered with The First Car Project for two years because we believe in more than just clean cars—we believe in clean starts.
These kids are aging out of foster care, often without the family safety net that many of us take for granted. Something as simple as a car gives them the freedom to work, study, and grow. When we donate our services to restore these vehicles, we’re not just detailing a car—we’re helping someone drive into a better future.
Support That Makes a Lasting Impact
When you support Austin’s Clean Cars, you’re supporting a team that reinvests in the community. Whether it's through car detailing in Sellersburg, Clarksville, New Albany, Jeffersonville, or Louisville, or by giving back through causes like The First Car Project, we aim to make every detail count—inside the shop and beyond.
