Beginning Questions.

[CurlyCara]

Hi guys. My name is Cara. I live in Saint Pete and im new to AG, and detailing. Ive done a few small detailing projects. I would like to become more advanced in detailing but dont know where or how to start. I was thinking of trying to take up an internship of some sort or something. Does anyone have any ideas what they think I should do?

Welcome! I'd say start with soaking up as much as you can from the forum. Check out the article by Mike Phillips. And since your in Florida, AG has a two day training course they offer. I think the next one is in May.

I just posed this information yesterday and hope you find it useful! I've listed some of the kits that are available through Autogeek and some additional products as well.

Learn some of the basics and the more hands on your are the quicker you'll build your knowledge and gain experience.

Everyone starts off as a beginner but with some reading, questions, and trial, error, and practice you'll be amazed how much you'll be able to do.

This link contains articles written by Mike Phillips and has allot of great reading within.
