    What exactly are you looking to do? Start a side buisness, or just take care of your own car? And are you going to use hand, DA polisher, or a rotary?



    If you just wanna take care of your own car you can learn online, and a DA polisher is pretty fool-proof.

    Meguiar`s holds detailing classes around the country, you can call them and ask if they have any scheduled in your area, and if not, get the name of your nearest few Meguiar`s distributors and ask them if they would be willing to host a class. Usually the turnout is pretty good and the distributors get to sell some product and gain some new customers.

    Start a Detail Business?



    Fleet Washing?



    What are your purposes for wanting to learn?

    I`ve done a few "teaching" details where I work with the owner to detail their car. Of course, regular detailing charges + the extra time would apply.

    Yup, same here, I`ve even had them standing over me with pen and notepad. I don`t mind helping someone learn the proper techniques and such to help them take better care of there prized possesions.



    I think I might put myself out of business though if I was training detailers to do equal work as myself....:buffing::lol

    You should take a look at the click and brag section of this forum to get a better idea of what we do. Not sure how serious you are about this.



    You`re best bet is to probably contact us either by phone or personal email for the rest of your questions.



    Are you out of Oakcliff? Dont` know that there`s much market for detailers in that area....

    Josh,



    Even if someone knows the steps and products you use, will they have the dicipline to work a car for ten hours straight?? or do the things consistantly day after day the way you do it......... me thinks that if it were that easy then everyone would be correcting cars at a high level and we know that is just not the case.

    Good point, I just don`t know anything about the person starting this thread and have not gotten a call or email or anything from him so I wonder how serious he is about it all..... (maybe he called someone else, I don`t know)
