Specialty / 01
Biohazard vehicle cleanup
Specialty training
Be prepared for the work other detailers turn away.

- Evaluate the work before you accept it
- Build a deliberate, repeatable process
- Understand when a job is outside your scope
- Position a demanding specialty responsibly
A specialty service should raise your standards before it raises your prices.View biohazard training

Why DirtLab exists
Most training stops at the buffer. DirtLab does not.
DirtLab grew out of the problems detailers run into after they learn how to make a car look great: what to charge, how to explain the value, which services to add, and how to make the work consistent as the business grows.
Joseph built DirtLab to teach both sides of the trade: professional execution in the vehicle and disciplined decision-making in the shop. The goal is not more theory. It is a clearer next move.
THE DIRTLAB STANDARD
Useful on Monday morning, not just inspiring on Sunday night.
