Automotive Detailing is offered at the WTC location, in partnership with the
Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC).
Detailing is more than washing cars. Detailers restore headlights, wash, wax and polish car exteriors, and clean and maintain car interiors. The program includes classroom and hands-on training and is taught by a CCBC instructor.
