Car Detailer

A Car Detailer improves the visual appearance of cars and other vehicles by cleaning exterior and interior surfaces. You might wash car surfaces, apply waxes and polishes and clean and blacken tyres. Car Detailers vacuum and clean interior upholstery, carpets and other surfaces. You may also perform minor repairs or touch-up work to exterior paintwork.

Car Detailers should have excellent attention to detail and strong customer service skills. It’s important you can work quickly and provide quality workmanship. Car Detailers must be able to communicate well and understand customer concerns. You’ll need to work as part of a team and be able to manage your time well.
