“When it comes to the windows, we first wipe them down with water and a soft cloth,” said junior Gabriella Parrish. “We then dry them. From there…”

“OK, we don’t have any here, but we have a spray bottle with stuff just for the windows that we use. Then we wipe the windows down going straight back and forth, because if you do a circular motion it will cause streaks.”
Gabriella was quick to point out that window cleaning is only one step in several when it comes to detailing a car, something she is learning to do in Kent Career Tech Center’s new Intro to Automotive program.
It is one of three new intro to career and technical education courses that will be offered by the Tech Center as part of a planned merger with Kent Transition Center.
