Why it matters
Why does professional training matter?
Modern vehicles use a wide range of paint finishes, trims, coatings, fabrics, leather and specialist materials.
Using the wrong product or technique can cause unnecessary damage. Professional training helps a detailer make more informed decisions about how a vehicle should be cleaned, corrected and protected.
For Chris, certification forms part of a wider commitment to preparation, care and continued development.
