Detailer Training
From: £350 Per Day
With over 10 years of experience in the vehicle detailing industry and time spent in a body repair shop, I’ve picked up a ton of knowledge—often through trial and error! Now, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned by offering 1-on-1 detailer training. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all courses because everyone has their own unique skill level, and training should reflect that. Whether you’re just starting out and need to learn the basics of safe washing and valeting, or you’re ready to tackle advanced techniques like wet sanding, we’ve got you covered. Every training day includes lunch and refreshments, and you’ll leave with a certificate to mark your achievement!
