The Sonax training was one of the most educating and interesting course I have ever been on. I have always enjoyed cleaning and polishing cars but this took my knowledge to another level, not only what to use on your car but how to use it in the correct manor without damaging the car. The course was detailed well with a good mix of theory and practical work which prepares you to be able to use the sonax products to the best of their capabilities. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone starting out or if you just enjoy as an hobby

SONAX 3 Day Training Course

Wayne Stokes

What a great 3 days spent at Sonax detailing UK training HQ. I booked the 3 day intensive course and as intense as it was, the structure of the course allowed the information to settle in whilst putting it to practice. We learnt how to problem solve and use the right solution to effortlessly get the results we were after. It was a joy to be part of the group and I would recommend it to anyone. I am proud to be a part of the Sonax team and have gained the confidence to detail any car that comes my way. Thank you Chris.

Done my training when Sonax first came to England and I was first one to get accredited by Sonax Chris. The training was amazing. Chris taught me everything a detailer needs to know and was so handy when I was stuck in doing a job which I could contact Chris and he would reply or call me straight away. I’m happy that I was the first one to get it in UK, it’s been 5 years now and always use Sonax as it’s safe on any cars.
