Featured Review
I cant recommend this company enough. I was a absolute novice in the car detailing field but had the desire for it. I decided to pay for there 3 day training course. Although its only 3 days, James covered everything, and he didnt let a second go to waste. It was all hands on to perfect the art, and whilst training he constantly gave me so much info. Made me feel like part of the team from the first second and gave me so much assurance. Great lads. Ps Elliot makes a cracking coffee.
