Success Stories

Smart Detailing University takes great pride in our excellent training programs and car detailing products. Here is what some of our customers and students have to say:

Ashley Kaitangian

"I came to Smart Detailing University based on a recommendation from another local detailer to buy a few items I needed for my mobile detailing business. Not expecting much, I was soon shocked as right when I walked through the door the staff greeted me with a level of professionalism I have never experienced in my two years of business at any other detail supply store. Since coming to Smart Detailing University I've learned numerous things about the industry, including ways to make detailing easier and increase my price tag per vehicle. Even though I was no big spender, Mel personally took the time to help me through some of the questions I had and even ended up convincing me to attend his three–day boot camp seminar. After attending the seminar, I walked away with a new vision and level of excitement that I have continually used to increase my customer base and monthly revenues. The seminar is by far, one of the most worthwhile events I've ever attended. I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting ahead in this business. The money I'm making today is proof of how much you will learn'

The staff members at Smart Detailing University don't sell things just to make a buck. They truly care about each customer, explaining everything in great detail to provide you with a better experience in this industry and make your understanding of the many complicated chemicals much easier. Not only did the staff members teach me about the SDU chemical line of products, but they would also take me into the training shop and show me how everything works, providing me with the ultimate hands–on experience. What a wonderful company and an amazing seminar'"

Thanks, SDU' You rock'

"As a professional detailer, I've gone through various types of training programs over the years but found that most of them have been a waste of time…until I was recommended Smart Detailing University where I soon went for additional support and training.

The time I spent with Mel Craig at Smart Detailing University is hands down, the very best training I've ever received. After speaking with Mel on the phone, I decided to make the long, three–hour drive down to Smart Detailing University facility. I actually had no idea what to expect, but as soon as I arrived and was greeted with total respect and the enthusiastic energy of the team, I knew I was in for a rewarding experience. Mel ended up spending three hours of his time with me, and his expert advice, teaching, and technical support have truly changed my life forever.

I can now proudly say that my time spent on a detail has gone way down, and my income has doubled' I never knew that a simple three hours could make such a huge difference in my life and in my business, but with Smart Detailing University it's possible'

That being said, I highly recommend you pay a visit to Smart Detailing University and see what they can do for you and your business' Take it from me, you definitely won't be disappointed…"

"I'm a new customer to Smart Detailing University and have made the choice to convert all my chemicals over to the best of the best: SDU’s product line. I've had such a great time working with Smart Detailing University, and everyone on the staff, especially Jarred Craig, has really helped me with business and technical support. It's so great doing business with a company that sells itself, instead of being sold by a business that can't meet your needs. The entire SDU team is awesome'"

"After ending my connection with another big company down here in San Diego, I am so grateful to have heard about Smart Detailing University through another detailer. When I found out that it was owned and operated by Mel Craig, I knew it was the place for me. After visiting Smart Detailing University, I realized they had everything I needed to continue to grow my business and would be able to supply me with the right products and equipment. Mel and his team worked with me on their amazing chemical line, and it has really made a huge difference on the final outcome of my customers' vehicles . Not only am I sold on these outstanding chemicals, but my clients too are very excited to see the brand of chemicals that I'm using— especially those that own high–end vehicles and aircraft. Wing tip to wing tip, SDU is the best choice for all my aircraft detailing. Thanks for all the help, Mel' It's no surprise how happy your base of customers, clients, and students are with Smart Detailing University."

"I really thought I knew everything I needed to know in order to run my business, was I wrong' After attending Smart Detailing University two–day detailing seminar, I learned more about running a professional business than I ever could have on my own. As a result, I've been able to generate a much higher income, increase my customer base, and cut my time down on all my details. My wife too is stoked because these improvements in my business give me the chance to spend a lot more quality time with her. Also, I no longer have to deal with the confusion of using chemicals from several different companies since I use the SDU chemical line exclusively."
