I don`t think you need to spend that much money to get the skills that you need for detailing. I agree with cwcad. Check out the site he has linked for you, and you will gather lots of information. Visiting DC will also answer many if not all questions you will have. Detailing is something that I learned by trial and error, and I`m still learning new things everyday. As far is the proper tools and products go I would take money from one detail and purchase the next item I wanted or needed. When I started off I done all of my work by hand, but soon as the cash started coming in I got a PC and went from there. If I would have waited until I came up with five thousands dollars I would still be waiting. Start off with your vehicle and maybe some family and friend`s cars. Good luck

i learned by reading & researching... also a mixture of some adams instructional videos mixed with the better car care videos that are on line & the Autopia reviews. . I think autopia now has the right to show the meguiars videos. :yay
