Detailing College

Re: Detailing College

Great question...my reputation and the fact that I sign off on people at the level of performance they archived while with me and that is the certification I provide...my reputation is my life and way of making a living and that is why I accept so few students.

Joe and others have worked on my projects and of all those I have invited, I only had one bad apple (I invited the wrong person to take part in a huge project)...not bad when you look at the number of projects I have part within...both my own and others alike.

As for my experience and entitlements, do some research and you will see some of the projects I have worked on all over the world. There are a couple post here on MOL that you can find! I am pretty hush...hush on my client base and for good reason. A few people within the industry know and understand my client base and why I am so tight lipped.

Recently I was asked to assist with the training standards within the International Detailing Association where the panel is made up of several people who understand not just detailing but how to teach and educate others when it comes to professional level detailing.

I grew up in the one and only So Cal and learned detailing from some of the best. I worked it backwards and started detailing aircraft first, then got into the show car gig with friends, then my own cars and worked it into a passion based business and then the real deal! I am a blessed man that my work is what I love...cars and aircraft! As Barry says...I am car crazy!

This interests me in one way.

Is there a qualification or certificate that entitles you to do this sort of work?

I ask because a lot of old school are self taught guys,but they really know their stuff...

Re: Detailing College

Thankyou for the writeup Reny.My interest is in this field.Unfortunately,there's nothing here.I can't find anything like schools for panel beating,spray painting,powder coating or detailing.Thing is here,I can't even get into it as an assistant/trainee in a bodyshop.It's all pretty much family businesses.So there aren't really opportunities in this line,out here.

I've had to go to school here for the past 2 years,to do something,and that's just finished..machining/machine operator.With these courses there are qualifications etc.

I think in the states you're more ahead in the automotive opportunities,as opposed to here.But I'll keep at it,even if it means doing things the hard way,which as mentioned earlier,is also the way I've learned to do things and made mistakes also.
