Train with Mel Craig
inside the real studio.
Hands-on paint correction, coatings, and business training for professional detailers. Run inside the same Huntington Beach studio where Mel installs Revivify on client cars every week.
If you detail for a living — or want to — this is the real thing.
You’ve detailed friends’ cars or worked at a volume shop. You want the skills and confidence to charge premium rates.
You’re good at interiors and basic washes. You want to break into paint correction and coatings without learning the hard way.
You love cars, you’re tired of your current industry, and you want a trade that compounds with experience.
Learn from Mel Craig.
Mel has been training professional detailers since 1999 — before coatings were a category and before detailing was an industry. Featured on Motor Trend’s Wheeler Dealers, Fox News, and Hot Rod Magazine, and recognized as Detailing Person of the Year in 2020.
Today he serves as Revivify’s U.S. trainer and master installer, and every technique he teaches in the school is one he uses on client cars in the same Huntington Beach studio that same week.
Three tracks. Real outcomes.
Take one course or stack all three. Mel and the Recon Pros team teach the same workflows they use on Signature and Concours installs.

Pricing, upsells, client psychology, shop layout, marketing, and recurring revenue. Turn a skilled detail operation into a profitable business.
