Q: Why is ADI training the best choice?

A: At ADI we train you to specialize in high-end auto detailing. Marketing yourself as a high-end auto detailing professional will clearly distinguish your caliber of workmanship; which can lead to the highest paying, most desirable work available in the industry. In addition, our CD-Rom training system is vastly superior to video tape / manual type training. Video / manual training systems require you to first view the included tapes, then read pages of text. Reviewing materials involves akward rewinding of tapes - locating specific segments, then referring back to one or more manuals. Our interactive training system contains all of the text, diagrams and videos on the same screen. After you read a tutorial on a specific procedure, a "how-to" video on that topic appears. You simply click the play button and view it. When you need to review a topic, you can instantly return to whichever tutorial you choose. At ADI, we realize that you are excited about starting your new business, and want to get operating right away. We have thusly designed our course's content to be quickly absorbed by the student. Expediting the learning process will help you to roll out your new business in short order.

Q: What equipment will I have to purchase to get into this business?

A: You can begin working in this terrific business with several gallons of chemicals and a few inexpensive hand tools. You can set yourself up for as little as $500.00 - obtaining your supplies from wherever you choose. Our training system provides you with a comprehensive list of commonly available professional products that you can acquire from virtually any local or mail-order distributor. At ADI, we provide you with quality training - there is nothing more to buy from us.

Q: Is this a seasonal business? What do I do in the cold weather?

A: Not at all! During the cold months, you can keep busy performing your work as an outside contractor for any number of auto-related businesses. In the promotional
sections of our training system, we explain how to market your business and establish steady accounts that can keep you busy throughout the year!

Q: How long should a detail take me to complete?

A: Once you become familiar with the trade and develop proficiency - a "complete" (interior/exterior) detail should require between 4 - 7 hours. Bear in mind that each vehicle will be dissimilar, i.e. condition - each requiring a different
schedule of refurbishment. 

Q: How much can I charge a customer for a detail?

A: Prices will vary geographically. The level of detailing that we train you to perform should command the greatest fee in your locale. As an example, a "complete" (interior/exterior) high-end detail can range from $200.00 - $300.00 or more. In addition, you will find many "non-premium services" equally, if not more profitable on an hourly basis. As an example - an "exterior only detail" can go for as much as $150.00 and can often be completed in about 3 hours. In this instance, you can earn as much as $50.00 per hour, and if you schedule yourself correctly - you can perform 2-3 of these services in a single day! In the services pricing section of our system we provide you with simple formulas to accurately calculate pricing to suit your region
