Improving the bottom line
4 Week NON-PAYED Auto Detail Apprentice Program
Probably a good way to make money detailing-free labor. I am not endorsing or approving this- just putting it out there. Make your own decisions.

Re: Improving the bottom line
Sounds like a scam. I've been in this area for 20 years and never heard of them. I've heard of plenty of high end mobile detailers, but not these guys. Not to mention posting on craigslist may be the least professional way to market yourself, short of throwing cards out your window while you drive down the road. Just my .02.

I'm certain that you have seen their vans before, even though they work mainly in PG & Mont. counties.

This has got to be one of the most short-term apprenticeship program in the nation!!
-Wonder if they will be handing out Journeyman Cards??
TO WIT:
TITLE(s): AUTOMOBILE DETAILER (Automotive Service.)
DOT Number: 915.687-034
Just think...After 4 (four) weeks, being "fully trained"....And...
For: $250-$500 a week...$6500-$13,000 a year, they're supposed to be able to do this:
-A Journeyman Automobile Detailer/Automotive Service Job Description (per: DOT):
Cleans and refurbishes new and used automobiles, performing any combination of following duties: Washes vehicle exterior to clean cars, using cleaning solution, water, cloths, and brushes. Applies wax to auto body, and wipes or buffs surfaces to protect surfaces and preserve shine, using cloth or buffing machine. Vacuums interiors of vehicles to remove loose dirt and debris, using vacuum cleaner. Cleans upholstery, rugs, and other surfaces, using cleaning agents, applicators, and cleaning devices. Applies revitalizers and preservatives to vinyl or leather surfaces, and treats fabrics with spot and stain resistant chemicals to preserve and protect interior components. Cleans engine and engine compartment with steam cleaning equipment and various cleaning agents to remove grease and grime. Applies special purpose cleaners to remove foreign materials which do not respond to normal cleaning procedures, utilizing experience and following recommendations of product manufacturer. Paints engine components and related parts, using spray gun or aerosol can and masking material. Applies paint to chipped body surfaces of vehicle, using container of touchup paint. Applies dyes and reconditioning chemical to vinyl tops of vehicle to restore color and condition.
-Not too much to learn in 4 short weeks....Yikes!!!
-I agree with you VT...Good way for "The Company" to obtain free labor...And they get to write-off the "training-funds"...To boot!!! Good gig, for them, I would say.

OK, these two posts are the reasons I've never seen them. Not too worried about them stealing my customers. I still believe that it's a scam.
