Professional detailing education.
From a studio that does the work.

WHO IT'S FOR
Which courses are right for you?
You care about your own car and want to maintain it correctly.
You've watched videos, bought products, and still aren't confident you're not causing damage. What you need is a structured system — not another tip — and a clear understanding of why each step matters. The freshcardetail Academy gives you that foundation without assuming any prior knowledge.
Start here:
- Detailing Fundamentals — Beginner. Self-paced from €79.
- No prior knowledge required
- Lifetime access — revisit anytime
When you're ready:
- Paint Correction Masterclass for your own correction work
- Ceramic Coating Certification when you're ready to self-coat
You want detailing knowledge you can charge for.
You already work with cars or are building toward it. The gap is documented, structured knowledge that gives you the confidence to take on correction and coating clients — and the credentials to demonstrate that knowledge. The freshcardetail curriculum is built from the same methodology used on paying client vehicles at the Dalmine studio.
Recommended path:
- Paint Correction Masterclass — Certificate. From €149.
- Ceramic Coating Certification — Certificate. From €129.
- Full Academy Bundle — All 4 courses, save €127. From €349.
Add hands-on practice:
- 1-Day Intensive — Real vehicle, direct feedback. From €450.
- 2-Day Professional — Correction to coating. From €750.
You're already operating. You want refinement, not the basics.
You have experience. You're here for a specific skill, a certificate to show clients, or a private session structured entirely around your current work. The freshcardetail Academy offers targeted certifications and private 1:1 mentorship for professionals who already know the foundations.
Add credentials:
- Ceramic Coating Certification
- PPF Essentials — Product knowledge and consultancy
Book a private day:
- Private 1:1 Mentorship — Your goals, your pace. From €650/day.

Lead Detailer & Academy Instructor
Professional detailer operating in Dalmine since 2019
Certified applicator for multiple professional coating brands
Instructor for all freshcardetail Academy in-person sessions

Every course in the Academy is built from the same methods used on client vehicles at the Dalmine studio — not from product manufacturer guides or theoretical frameworks.
He works on client vehicles and teaches at the studio simultaneously, which means the Academy curriculum reflects current, real-world practice. Students working with Marco receive instruction from someone who does the work every day.
Specialisms:
- Paint correction (DA and rotary)
- Ceramic coating application
- PPF specification and consultancy
- Detailing business methodology
