Do any professional detailers do tuition? I guess it wouldn't make good business sense...

I suppose in a way it could. I'd probably not part with £1000 or whatever for a full correction detail but would consider a couple of hundred for a course perhaps.

The detailer could then make some cash potentially by selling products. I suppose it depends on whether the detailer sells gear or just does details. I'm thinking of my local detailer, polished bliss here as they offer full details and sell products.

DA about once a year (spring time) and by hand the rest of the year. Not Machined this car yet though as the stone chips are shocking so haven't got the enthusiasm for it. After a respray, maybe let a pro have a go.

No. Started polishing at 11am and still hadn't properly finished by 7pm but had to head off. Hence there was probably some finishing that never got done. To do it properly, you really need the whole day.

Russ on here (owns midlands car care) did wet sanding course at KDS and did a write up somewhere. I know other detailers also have days, for limited numbers, to go along an try products and have tuition etc
