Summary
Since leaving school in 2022 with a CLEAR mindset on what I wanted to do, I got a job at a dealership working with some of the most helpful adults I had ever met, within the first year of working at a dealership doing advanced detailing I had learnt how to ceramic coat and paint correct cars of all value. Within the next year I had been handed multiple certificates for my skills, which was a very big thing for me and did change the way i looked at this job. I am now over 4 years into this profession and I could not have been happier with the job I chose. Every day i paint correct or restore a exterior I learn more and more and I am always happy to be learning from people who have been around this job for longer than me.
