A clinic for growing detailers
The Future of Detailing Primer Clinic is three days of intensive training in the entire detailing process, all the way from interiors to paint correction to ceramic coating application with a focus on process and technical skills. It serves these experience levels best:
- Employee Training. If you’re a shop owner, this is the perfect class to send your employees. The Primer Clinic will train your employees with the operational efficiencies that will have your detail studio running at its maximum potential.
- Professional Detailers. Whether you want to transition from side hustle to full-time detailer, from mobile detailer to fixed location, or perhaps an industry veteran that is just looking to keep up on the latest chemicals, tools and techniques, the Primer Clinic trains you in the competencies necessary to thrive.
