Add a specialism and tap a new detailing market.
Motorbike detailing is an untapped market for many detailers, but with the right skills can be an excellent source of revenue, especially at the start and end of the summer when many bikes are removed from or put away for storage.
Designed specifically for established professional detailers, this group session 1-day course will give you the best practice knowledge and skills required to perform in-depth detailing and related work on motorcycles in a safe and effective manner. This helps you take the guesswork out of a new sector and introduces you to the techniques to safely work on and handle motorbikes, correctly assess and decontaminate them, and perform a full motorbike detail.
You will need a basic level of competency as an existing valeter or detailer, as there is a certain assumption of existing technique to build on. You are not required to hold a motorbike licence however as no riding will be taking place and all training vehicles will be provided for you.
