The ESOTERIC Elite Detailer Academy  

PROVEN DETAILING SOLUTIONS FROM YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Over the years of writing detailing articles and educational material, I received countless requests for auto detailing training from professional detailers that were interested in stepping up their paint correction skills. Given that demand, I established the Esoteric Elite Detailer Academy where detailers from around the world can attend and learn not only the most modern and responsible paint correction techniques, but they will also be trained on on a wide variety of products and tools that they might not have had had exposure to otherwise. 

This intensive 2-day course will be held regularly at the beautiful ESOTERIC – Fine Auto Finishing headquarters in New Albany (Columbus), Ohio.

Pay over time! Select “PayPal Credit” when checking out to pay for this class over 6 months.

The Elite Detailer course is recommended for both seasoned veterans, and those new to machine-polishing. The class is limited to just 6 students, and is taught by a Master Detailer who still actively perfects cars using modern tools, products, and techniques. 

While predominantly attended by new detailers, or those ready to start a detailing business, we also have plenty of students who have been detailing for many years, but wish to improve their skillsets. Additionally, we have trained a considerable number of people who are simply extreme automotive enthusiasts who wish to learn how to polish their own prized possessions. 

The small-class setting allows us to closely monitor and personally educate each individual student, and when complete, you will have the machine-polishing skills to bring a car’s finish to the next level and beyond.  

Your complete guide to mastering paint polishing:

• Training conducted by 2 world-class detailers: Todd Cooperider and DJ Mayo.
• Limited to just 6 students per class
• ½ day of comprehensive classroom time discussing a variety of Detailing Subjects, Product Recommendations, and Pad / Polish combinations.

• Recommended for both seasoned veterans, and those new to machine-polishing

Signing up for this class was one of the best decisions I ever made when it comes to getting my business going. Thank you for everything!

ESOTERIC Enthusiast Detailing Class

So you’re an automotive detailing enthusiast, and you want to learn the best ways to care for your vehicles?!

There’s a lot of information available these days about auto detailing, but how can you possibly navigate it all to make sure you are receiving good instruction? Also, most of the training courses available are designed for professionals, so much of the training doesn’t pertain to you.

We feel your frustration, which is why we created our new Enthusiast Detailing Class! It is designed specifically for those who wish to build their confidence in modern and proper car care products and techniques. We also limit each class to just 8 students so that you get quality one-on-one time with our professional instructors (other similar classes have 20+ people!).

During our full-day training (conducted on Saturdays), you will receive hands-on instruction to include:

• Prepping cars for polishing
• Introduction to 1-step machine polishing with the ability to use all of the different Rupes machines
• Post-polishing cleanup
• Using the right chemicals for interior cleaning
• Wheel & tire care
• Leather care
• Glass care
• Sealants and waxes
• Open discussion

Our instructors are highly experienced, and will make sure that you leave the class with a high level of confidence. Training conducted by 2 world-class detailers: Todd Cooperider and DJ Mayo.

Unless otherwise noted, all of the courses will be held at our beautiful ESOTERIC headquarters in New Albany (Columbus), Ohio. Class hours will be from 9am to 5pm.

For those traveling in from out of the area, we can provide you with recommendations of some nice hotels very close to our facility.
