Title: trial and error or training
Post by: dean33 on July 08, 2012, 03:08:52 pm

Hi chaps, been reading this forum for a few months now and noticed your quite an opinionated bunch.                       

Nearly finished kitting out my van and want to know weather to learn by trial and error on family and friends houses or go on a training course,
I prefer trial and error my self but your opinions would be appreciated

Thanks dean.

I had thought about that and i think its probably the best way.

I live in Manchester, it would be much appreciated if anyone's up for it.

I started with trial and error. Funnily I lost my first few customers and confidence with WFP. All of your cleans will be first cleans and you want to get them right. My advice is to scrub thoroughly all frames and glass, then start again going over glass only and inse thoroughly.

Only problem with trial and error, it is in your judgement weather it is right or wrong. If you can afford to go on training then do so you could learn something that your doing wrong or didn't know about.

Impact43 have training courses available free but these places are now very limited.
