Tucker Mathieson — Precision, Passion, and Proven Industry Leadership

Tucker Mathieson is the Master Detailer and Chief Operations Officer at Revive Auto Detailing, recognized for his precision craftsmanship and selection for elite, invitation-only detailing and preservation projects across the country.

From historically significant aircraft and museum collections to rare automobiles and high-end exotics, Tucker’s work reflects a rare blend of technical mastery, restraint, and respect for original materials — qualities required when perfection isn’t optional and mistakes aren’t reversible.

Historical Preservation — Museum of Flight Air Force One Project

Tucker’s association with the Air Force One project at the Museum of Flight in Seattle is centered entirely on historical preservation.

Working as part of a specialized team, Tucker contributed to the careful cleaning, surface refinement, and long-term preservation of a former presidential aircraft — a piece of American history entrusted to museum care. The work demanded conservative techniques, material-specific knowledge, and a preservation-first mindset to ensure the aircraft remains protected for future generations.

This project reflects Tucker’s ability to adapt modern detailing expertise to museum-level standards, where the goal is not enhancement, but stewardship.
