Training Recommendations?
I'd like to go for some formal detailing/PDR/touch-up training. Does anyone care to share their experiences, advice, recommendations regarding the many available sources? ... Detail King, Ding King, Paint Bull, Rightlook, others? It seems that these in particular are all good, legitimate businesses... I would just like to hear your thoughts. (I have the company brochures, but would like to hear from the students.)
Thanks, Autopians, as always,

Re: Training Recommendations?
Find an established Shop and beg them for work. It is called an apprenticeship, and it has worked for centuries.
Or, pay $5000 for a week of listening to someone's opinions about products that they sell...
Easy call.
If you can spare the time, and cover your expenses, you can come work in my busy Shop for two weeks.

Just to respond to several PMs, yes, this offer is open to all, just not all at once!
