It can be truly upsetting to have your car’s paint and trims constantly punished and abused with improper detailing methods, products, and tools - most of which are still used at your local car wash today.

Our Introduction to Detailing (101) class was created to pass on valuable detailing knowledge and share the very best methods and techniques in a well-structured, easy to understand learning environment that also implements the latest technology and products used by leading industry professionals today.

Introduction to Detailing 101 is designed to provide participants with theoretical and practical knowledge of the basic products, methods, and procedures involved in correctly detailing a vehicle at its core.

Attendants are expected to participate in a hands-on teaching approach to build the student’s confidence and assist them in learning and practicing the fundamentals of automotive detailing.

This class also aims to highlight the many discrepancies and misinformation surrounding automotive detailing, to correctly inform participants of the most important facts and results pertaining to detailing.

This class is delivered in three primary modules consisting of Safe and Effective Car Washing, Chemical and Mechanical Surface Decontamination and Basic Paint Protection and Dressings.

Each module of this course will contain several parts and activities in which participants are encouraged to participate and ask questions. The focus of learning will be based on working with an actual car in addressing the major areas of exterior detailing including car wheels, car paint, and trims in relation to cleaning, surface preparation and protection.
