Beginner Detail Training in/near Toledo, OH

I am new to the mobile detailing scene and would like to start doing some peoples cars. I did mine and my families cars for the past year or so just trying to learn and try processes. I am not trying to find some full-time work but more just work for the weekends and try to learn and more and build up some client numbers. I don't plan on doing this until sometime in September.

Does anyone know of any training classes near the Toledo, OH area?

Thanks in advance

These guys have a class: Automotive International > About Us

You can also call Meguiar's and see if they are doing any detail days at distributors in your area. The regional reps sometimes hold classes, about half classroom, half hands-on, if you get lucky they have someone from the factory (like Mike Phillips) there.

Forget the hat, I'm concerned about the apparent bait-and-switch going on, the "advertising" says it's a chrome shopping cart, but the avatar pic clearly shows a cut-rate plastic cart. We all know metal is easier to recycle than plastic, so I call BS on the "eco-friendly" aspect.

LOL you guys...


I'm about 1-1/2 to 2 hours north of you. I have no issues at all walking you through a few details to get some skills down. Make it worth my time and I could even come down there. Hands on is the only way to learn.

Re: Beginner Detail Training in/near Toledo, OH

Thanks for all the input and I will surely follow up on them eventually. I am currently playing baseball and wont be back into town until early September. I am just trying to line everything so when I get back I can hit the ground running with some sort of training.

Jake- I will PM you later this summer and see whats up. Thanks a lot by the way.
