LEARN TO DETAIL AT A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL WITHOUT WASTING MONTHS OR YEARS FIGURING IT OUT ALONE
The Shop Ready System is online & in-person detailing training built from 7+ years of full-time experience. Whether you're starting from zero, sharpening your technique, or training your team.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. No confusion.
ENROL & GET INSTANT ACCESS
Pick your tier, check out, and get immediate access to the full online training. Start the same day you sign up.
LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE
Work through the structured modules around your schedule. Nights, weekends, whenever suits. Rewatch as many times as you need.
PUT IT INTO PRACTICE
Start working on real cars with real confidence. Optionally upgrade to in-person coaching at my shop to lock it all in.
If you're here, you already know you want more than what you've got right now.
Maybe you're stuck in a job you can't stand and you've been watching detailing videos thinking "I could do that." Maybe you're already detailing but your technique isn't where it should be. Maybe you run a shop and your team needs proper, structured training instead of learning bad habits off YouTube.
Whatever brought you here, the situation is the same:
"I want to learn this properly. From someone who actually does it for a living."
You don't need another scattered YouTube playlist. You don't need to "figure it out as you go." And you definitely don't need some dodgy online course from someone who's never run a real detailing business.
You need a structured system. Built by someone who details cars every single day, in a real shop, for real paying clients.
That's exactly what this is.
WHO AM I?
My name's Ric Dimarti. I've been detailing full-time for over 7 years.
I started where a lot of you are right now. Keen on cars, sick of the grind, no idea how to turn that into something real.
I launched a mobile detailing business from scratch. Built it up. Sold it at a profit. Then I levelled up and opened my own high-end detailing shop, Inner West Detailing, handling everything from daily-driven Corollas to exotics like Lamborghini SVJs.
I'm also the co-founder of Prizm Coatings, an Australian ceramic coating brand used by professional detailers across the country.
For the last 3+ years, I've been running intensive 1-on-1 in-person training. Over 100 students have come through my program, many starting with zero experience and going on to run their own businesses generating $50K+ per month in revenue.
I'm not a marketing guy who teaches detailing on the side. I'm a detailer who runs a real shop, does real work, and trains real people.
Now I've taken everything and built it into The Shop Ready System.
WHY MOST DETAILERS PLATEAU
Whether you're brand new or you've been doing this for years, the pattern is the same:
- Watching random YouTube videos from random people with random methods
- Buying products because someone used them in a transformation reel
- Getting "okay" results but knowing the finish isn't professional
- No structured system for paint correction, coatings, or prep
- Guessing instead of knowing. Second-guessing every step.
It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or you've been doing this for years. If you learned by stitching together random content, there are gaps. And gaps show up in your results.
The Shop Ready System fills every single one.
- Structured, step-by-step. Not random videos slapped together.
- Built from techniques I use every day on six-figure vehicles
- Works for complete beginners AND experienced detailers
- Perfect for shop owners who need their team trained to a consistent standard
- Not theory. You're learning how to actually do the work.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
"Just finished my detailing course here and I have to say the most realest training you can get. He won't let you walk away feeling lost or like you're missing out on anything you're looking to learn in the detailing industry. I 100% recommend his courses to anyone looking to learn or master your knowledge and skills."
"Did the paint correction and ceramic coating course. Was a well worth it investment. I not only learnt the ins and outs of paint correction and ceramic coating but learnt so much about detailing, products, problems in business etc. An excellent teacher and could not recommend more."
"Helped me learn everything from the washing, claying, polishing, paint correction, alcohol wiping, wet sanding, ceramic and graphene part. Showed me all the machines and products I need to buy. Highly recommend."
"I had the pleasure of being shown the finer points of detailing. Nothing was too much trouble and he was willing to pass on a few very good tips. While showing how to do the job, he was also explaining clearly the best techniques. Onwards and upwards."
From my in-person training. Same framework, same techniques. Now available online.
STILL ON THE FENCE?
"ISN'T THE DETAILING MARKET FLOODED?"
Compare it to plumbing, building, or electrical. Way more people in those trades and they're all making money. Detailing just looks flooded because it's visual. Most people offering "detailing" don't actually do it well. The skill gap is massive.
"CAN I ACTUALLY LEARN THIS?"
If you can follow instructions, you can learn this. Built for people starting from zero, but just as valuable for experienced detailers who know there are gaps in their process.
"I'M STILL WORKING FULL-TIME"
That's exactly why this is online. Learn nights, weekends, whenever suits you. No need to quit your job, take time off, or travel anywhere.
"IS THIS JUST ANOTHER DODGY ONLINE COURSE?"
I run a real detailing shop. I do real work on real cars every day. This isn't theory from someone who only makes money selling courses. It's the exact techniques I use in my own business. You can see the shop. You can see the work.
"I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DETAIL"
Good. But there's a difference between getting decent results and operating at a professional standard. If you've learned from random content, there are gaps. This fills them. Also ideal if you run a shop and need staff trained to a consistent, repeatable level.
