Company Testimonials

Hi Tony

I just wanted to say a big thanks for all i have learn't on my recent course, i can't believe how much i have grown in confidence since i completed my training with you, and this is reflected most in the quality of my rotary polishing and correction work. I did the 3 day course with Tony and was very impressed with the amount of knowledge and practical skills i aquired in such a relatively short time. The course covered numerous aspects of professional detailing and i came away with a much greater understanding of methods and techniques. Tony built my confidence from day one and we soon got onto working with the rotary correcting swirl marks and scratches! I always felt at ease and comfortable whilst on the course and Tony was always willing to share his wealth of knowledge. I picked up some fantastic time saving tips while i was there. If you are looking to learn about all aspects of detailing from a Pro who has taught some of the countrys leading detailers in a relaxed but informative atmosphere then i would highly recommend this course.

Hello all 

I have just got back from a two day training course with Tony at autoshine.wow what a course Tony's training is one on one and he show's you how to correct the paint work from swirls and scratches and more.

You are hands on with all the ways that Tony knows and using all the good types of products that Tony uses in his day to day work.

I would highly recommend Tony's training course to anyone, i have been in the valeting trade on and off for 20 years but have never got to grips with the finer detailing of machine paint work correction like what i have been shown.

So if you are just starting up or you have been valeting for years you will improve to a high level on Tony's training course.

Many thanks Tony keep up the good work

 Very good training course, very hands on training. More confident with machine polishing, but best of all was to see the finished car .

 Ive ran a top end valet service for over 13 years and decided i wanted to take my business to the next level. I did a correction course with Tony , i managed to correct a 5 year old black 3 series BMW to a perfect finish, so will be adding paint correction - detailing to my services. Thanks to the expert training i received from Tony. I would have no hesitation in recommending his training course.

I found the training excellent and informative in a relaxed and well structured way. While the training was in depth and explanations reasoned Tony made the time enjoyable. The training will stand me in good stead for my future business venture and I believe I have an excellent source of help and information in Tony.
 Many thanks for the time and training.

3 Day Detailing Course
 
I have recently completed Tony's 3 day course, and was given a bit of a challenge,in the shape of a Motorsport 5 series BMW in dark metallic blue. The car looked in good condition, until it received a deep thorough cleaning, which then showed all of the swirls and scratches.
Tony's knowledge of paint correction, and the right products to use for the right job was very impressive. He asked alot of questions, and always knew the answers to all of my questions, and there was quite a few!
We talked alot about different products on the market, and which ones really work, and not necessarily the most expensive. We taped off half of the bonnet to do a before and after, after a 3 stage polish, using spongue head, lambswool and then a final polish, we stood back to have a proper look, and the result was fantastic, all the swirls and scratches gone, and the true colour of the car was revealed. The car looked stunning once finished inside and out.
The course was very long and very intense, but totally satifying. I learnt a great deal, and cannot wait to get started on a couple of classic Ferraris i have to do.
Tony was very helpful and always willing to help with advice and even obtaining products for me.A thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding course.

Having only started my business recently, I wanted to make sure I was able to give the best possible service to my existing and future clients.

Tony’s 3-day course has certainly given me both the confidence and the knowledge to make that possible.

The wealth of tips, advice and product knowledge Tony has to offer is second-to-none, and he will tell you what actually works in the real world, rather than trying to get you to use something because it’s the ‘latest in-thing’.

The informal atmosphere made learning fun, and I felt like I had achieved a substantial improvement in the way I work by the end of the course.

I would recommend Tony’s course without hesitation for anyone who wants to raise their game in the detailing business!
