How to Use this Video Training Package
The
Rightlook.com "Detailing for Profit" video training
package is designed to be the finest available.
The information contained in this package is
comprehensive enough to be used for several purposes, including:
• initial training for the new detailing professional;
• a source of information for the experienced detailer
who would like to improve a detailing process, gain more
background knowledge, and discover new tips and tricks; and
• a tool for standardization of your shop's detailing
process as well as an excellent training aid for new employees.
The videotapes and the manual are integrated in such a way that
the manual provides complete technical description and
background information on the subject while the video provides a
demonstration of techniques typically used by professional
detailers. Viewing
the video by itself is not sufficient as a training device.
Thorough study of the manual is also necessary for
complete understanding of the subject matter.
We
suggest the following progression in learning and studying the
material:
1.
Read the introductory sections of the manual.
2.
Watch the video once through without stopping the tape or
note taking.
3.
Read the accompanying sections of the manual.
4.
Watch the video again, taking careful notes, and pausing
and rewinding the tape as necessary.
5.
Practice the techniques on an actual vehicle, using the
manual, the checklists (see Appendix G), and your notes as a
guide.
6.
Watch the video again and read the manual as necessary to
improve your detailing process.
Each video is independent.
The tapes do not have to be viewed in any particular
order. The sequence
that you use for your complete detail will depend on several
factors that are mentioned in the tapes and covered extensively
in the manual.
Safety is
always the first priority.
Consult the manual for extensive discussions about safety
in the workplace of the professional detailer.
And remember, even the best safety recommendations cannot
substitute for common sense when operating a detail business.
The information in this video package should be
supplemented by thorough study of manufacturer's directions and
supplier's recommendations for each chemical and piece of
equipment that you use in your operation.
