CURRICULUM

What You'll Learn

Private mentorship is a one-to-one session at the Dalmine studio with the lead instructor. No fixed curriculum — the day is structured around what you need: a specific technique you want to improve, a product or process you want to learn, a business question about pricing or client workflow, or preparing to add a new service to your offering.

Pre-session planning

  • We discuss your goals, current skill level, and what you want to achieve before the session
  • The day is structured based on your priorities

Session content (examples)

  • Advanced rotary polisher technique on hard or soft clear coats
  • Ceramic coating application at professional product tier
  • Business: pricing paint correction and coating jobs
  • Client consultation workflow
  • Paint inspection and diagnosis for challenging paint conditions

Marco Ferretti

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

Marco Ferretti founded freshcardetail in Dalmine to close the gap between Italian detailing practice and accessible professional education. 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

From Our Students

"I'd been watching YouTube videos for two years and still wasn't confident I wasn't damaging my paint. The Detailing Fundamentals course gave me an actual system — not just techniques, but why each step comes in the order it does. I stopped second-guessing every product I picked up."
James K. United Kingdom · Detailing Fundamentals — Beginner
"I was doing car washes and occasional hand polishes. The Paint Correction Masterclass changed what I thought was possible with a DA. Two weeks after finishing the course I took on my first paying correction client."
Riccardo M. Milano · Paint Correction Masterclass
"The certification was what I needed to close the gap with clients who ask 'are you trained to do this?' I can now say yes, show the certificate, and charge accordingly. The application module alone is worth the course price."
David O. Ireland · Ceramic Coating Certification
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I structure what I want to cover?
Before the session, we have a conversation (phone, WhatsApp, or email) about where you are now and what you want to achieve. We structure the day based on that. You don't need to arrive with a plan — we build it with you.
Can I bring my own vehicle?
Yes — if there is a specific vehicle you want to work on (your own or a client's), you are welcome to bring it. Confirm in advance so we can plan the day accordingly.
Is this suitable for someone starting their detailing business?
Yes — private mentorship sessions are well-suited to detailers who are setting up a business and want practical advice on service offering, pricing, client communication, and workflow, combined with hands-on technique refinement.
Can I book multiple days?
Yes. Multiple consecutive or separate days can be booked. Contact us to discuss.
