1-Day Extreme Hands-On Car Detailing Class Course Covering Paint Correction & Ceramic Coatings
Just to note, not only are our classes the MOST hands-on classes on planet Earth, we are the ONLY class that shows you the cars you're going to get to train on BEFORE you sign-up and PAY for the class.
Morning session – Multiple-Step or Show Car Detailing
In this class students will learn how to take a car’s finish to its maximum potential! Including,
How to do a proper PREP waterless wash
Just like there are two types of normal wash styles, there are two types of styles for doing a waterless wash, Prep Waterless Wash and Maintenance Waterless Wash.
Visual Paint inspection – Topics covered,
Tactical Paint Inspection – Students will learn how to correctly inspect for contamination using the Baggie Test, as well as the correct way to show customers the level of paint contamination on their vehicle.
Mechanical decontamination
Unless a car is brand spanking new, most car are going to have some level of bonded contamination on the exterior surfaces. This session covers how to remove the contamination and why you simply cannot count on machine polishing to remove contaminants.
Paint Thickness Gauges – students will learn how to use a PTG to determine the thickness or thinness of the paint and how to safely proceed to the next steps.
Tape-off and Cover-up – students will learn which types of materials or areas should be covered and protected from machine buffing and product splatter.
How to do a Test Spot – The single most important thing you should do before any paint correction on anything is to do a proper Test Spot. The importance and value of doing a proper Test Spot is explained in detail. How and where to perform a Test Spot is taught in detail as well as how to inspect the results. How to dial-in the paint correction process is taught based upon results from Test Spot.
How to correctly use a Swirl Finder Light
Quality inspection lights are necessary throughout the detail process.
How to use a panel wipe to inspect for accurate and true paint correction.
Polishing oils, fillers, waxes and other ingredients can give a false appearance causing you to think the defects are removed. We show how to use a panel wipe to obtain true and accurate results.
Paint Correction
How to correctly use a rotary polisher – This is the most powerful tool when it comes to doing paint correction. Correctly used it’s like a scalpel in the hands of a world-renowned surgeon. Improperly used and you can get into trouble real fast. In this first session covering the rotary polisher, you’ll learn foundational skills that you’ll build on over the course of the rest of the day as well as Saturday and Sunday.
How to use an orbital polisher – Orbital polishers are safe and effective, and you’ll learn all the correct techniques to maximize your time while consistently achieving pro quality results.
Installing a Ceramic Coating
How to use a panel wipe – A panel wipe is a solvent used to prep paint for installing a ceramic or graphene coating. In this class session, you’ll learn a 2-step approach to ensure the surface is surgically clean for maximum bonding, longevity and performance for any coating you install.
How to install a ceramic or graphene coating – Coatings are truly the best way to protect your paint when it comes to protection, longevity and atomic gloss! In this class session, you’ll learn how to correctly install ceramic coatings and how to avoid the hassles of high spots.
Finishing touches
Afternoon session – 1-step paint correction using AIOs
This is a foundational skill everyone car owner should possess, and every professional should offer in their detailing business. This skill applies to anything with wheels, floats or flies.
