We're different, we've always been different and we document it!
Unlike all the other classes on planet Earth, we show you the cars you'll be training on BEFORE the class.

If you look at ANY other class, all you'll see is a picture of a dude running a buffer over the hood of a car, next to the picture is a bulleted list sharing the topics you'll get to learn, BUT NO PICTURES of the actual cars for this class. And the reason why is because in most cases, there are no cars. If you get to use a polisher or sand at all, it's going to be on a Demo Hood or a Test Panel. If you're really lucky, they may have a rental car or something from the parking lot. So do your research so you're not disappointed with the class you choose.

Here are the 3 Primary Topics you will learn on the first day of class

Show Car Detailing - Multiple-Step Paint Correction Process - Starting with Rotary Polishers.
Two-Step Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating - Starting with Orbital Polishers.
One-step Ceramic AIO - Budge Detail - Daily Driver Detail - Your choice of any of the $50,000.00 worth of polishers in our shop.

Wet Sanding by Hand
There's a number of ways to sand car paint to flatten orange peel. In our classes, we start with the most important sanding skill and that's how to correclty HAND WET SAND. For this we use the Nikken Finishing Papers, which are an electronics grade of sandpaper, much higher quality than automotive wet/dry sandpapers. We also use medium density soft blocks, not hard blocks and you'll learn why in the class.

Machine Dry Sanding
After you learn how to wet sand by hand, the next skill you'll learn is how to machine dry sand to refine the hand sanding scratches to a finer or more shallow depth that will be faster, easier and safer to remove using a rotary polisher. For this you'll train using sanding discs from Eagle Abrasives by KOVAX and FLEX cordless DA Sanders, including the FX3411 and the PXE-80.

Here's a recent example showing these sanding tools at one of our past classes.

How to Wetsand Cut and Buff - 1949 Chevy Fleetline Streetrod
