It's not something most people get excited about, but safety is often the difference between a long career and a short one! The Detailing career path is fortunately safer than other choices, but that doesn't mean you're invincible. The use of Chemicals, tools, and father time can make or break you. 

Today, Levi & Yvan discuss the measures every detailer should take to ensure a safe and (reasonably) healthy workplace.This includes using a respirator or mask with harsh chemicals, using proper paint polishing techniques, and taking adequate breaks during the day. Detailing can be rough on the body and lead to muscle cramps and painw due to the odd positions that detailers have to work in. It's best to learn proper detailing techniques before you dive into the business. As small as a topic this might be, it's extremely important to your success in the detailing business or hobby.
