Basic Marine Detailer Training
Build the foundation the right way.
Basic Marine Detailer Training is a 2-day in-person, hands-on course built for new marine detailers, entry-level technicians, auto detailers moving into marine work, and business owners who need a repeatable beginner training process for their crew.
This course teaches foundational execution using the MAD Soaps safe wash, prep, and basic one-step correction process. Students will learn how to clean, decontaminate, inspect, prep, polish, and protect marine surfaces without creating damage or skipping critical steps.
This is not an advanced restoration course. It is the starting point for learning how to perform professional marine detailing work safely, consistently, and with the right process.
