Overview
This hands-on class covers the complete path from correcting damaged paint to sealing it under a durable ceramic coating. You'll learn to read paint, measure and manage clear coat, and choose the right combination of pads, compounds, and polishes to remove swirls, scratches, and oxidation.
Once the paint is corrected, you'll move into proper surface prep and ceramic coating application — the techniques that separate a long-lasting, high-gloss result from a streaky, short-lived one.
What you'll Learn
Paint theory: clear coat, defects, and paint depth
Machine polishing with rotary and dual-action tools
Pad and compound/polish selection
Removing swirls, scratches, and oxidation safely
Surface prep and panel wipe before coating
Correct ceramic coating application and leveling
Curing, inspection, and aftercare guidance
Troubleshooting high spots and common mistakes
Prequisites
No prior experience required.
Bring closed-toe shoes and a willingness to get your hands dirty — we supply the panels, products, and everything else.
