This course certifies students in the basic exterior detailing processes necessary to successfully detail cars professionally or as a hobby. The objective of this course is to restore real neglected automotive paint finishes using different levels of aggression to produce results ranging from production to show car quality. Skill Level: Beginner to Enthusiast/Professional
Prep Bay Procedures
Students will begin the day by learning how to properly prepare real vehicles (not test hoods) for paintwork correction by washing and decontaminating the paint. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Prep Washing (2-Bucket & Waterless)
- Mechanical Decontamination with Clay Bars, Mitts & Towels
- Chemical Decontamination with Dr. Beasley’s Total Decon
Paintwork Correction
After prepping the vehicle, students will learn two types of paintwork correction procedures using Dr. Beasley’s Nano Surface Primers: multi-stage or show car-style paint correction and one-step or production-style paint correction. Students will go hands-on with both rotary and orbital polishers and learn the pros and cons of both machine types.
Topical Glass Polishing
Following completion of the paintwork correction step, students will be instructed in the most essential glass detailing procedure: topical glass polishing. Students will use Dr. Beasley’s NSP GL to remove water spots and traffic film from windshield glass to restore a crystal clear appearance.
Ceramic Coating Application
Students will end the day by learning how to correctly apply a ceramic coating to achieve maximum performance and durability. Proper application technique and methods for addressing high spots will be covered.
Graduation Ceremony
Following the completion of the day’s lessons, students will be awarded framed certificates affirming their certification in the topics covered during the class. Certificates will be mailed to students from our headquarters in Chicago following the completion of the class.
