Train on Real Jets.
Leave Certified.
The only aircraft detailing certification program where you work on real Gulfstream-class jets, leave with a configured business, and have a directory listing live before you drive home.
No pressure. We will tell you which program fits your situation.
Built Different. On Purpose.
Most detailing courses hand you a PDF and call you certified. Shiny Jets puts you on a real Gulfstream with real tools and does not sign off until the work meets the standard we use on actual customer aircraft.
A recent graduate was offered a $125,000 full-time position detailing a private fleet within weeks of completing the program. Another built a six-figure mobile aircraft detailing business serving a regional airport in his first year. FBOs, Part 135 operators, and corporate flight departments seek out Shiny Jets certified detailers because they know the standard.
Brett Berry was featured on the cover of InFlight USA magazine. He has over 15 years hands-on experience on everything from Cessnas to Gulfstreams. He built this program because the training he needed when he started did not exist.

Common Questions
Do I need experience?
No experience required for the 5-Day. For the 3-Day, you should be comfortable detailing cars, boats, or RVs. The 5-Day includes the full online course so you arrive with the foundation already built.
Where does training happen?
Threshold Aviation, 7000 Merrill Ave, Chino Airport (CNO), Southern California. On real Gulfstream-class business jets. Free parking. Catered lunches every day.
What if I do not pass the final practical?
You have 30 days to submit video proof of corrected work. Pass that review and the certificate is issued. We would rather you do it right than rush it.
Will I be able to get clients after?
That is the goal. You leave certified, listed in the Shiny Jets Detailer Directory, with your CRM configured and your business stack live. The work after the course is on you — but the tools are in your hands.
What is the free call?
30 minutes. We ask about your background, goals, and timeline — and tell you exactly which program fits. No pitch. If neither program is right for you right now, we will tell you that too.
How fast do classes fill?
The 5-Day is capped at 6 students. The 3-Day at 10. Summer dates are filling now. The call is the fastest way to hold your seat before a cohort closes.
