Curriculum

Six modules across three days.

01
Paint science

Clear coats, soft clears, single-stage, water-based paint. How paint actually scratches — and why.

02
Defect reading

Reading paint under SunGun, LED, and paint-gauge conditions. Diagnosing swirl, hologram, DA haze, RIDS, and wash marring.

03
Machine selection

DA vs rotary vs long-throw. Pad science. Compound and polish selection for correction depth vs finishing gloss.

04
Multi-stage workflow

1-stage, 2-stage, and multi-stage correction — when each is right and how to execute each cleanly.

05
Wet-sanding

Safe wet-sanding on modern clears and single-stage paints. Measuring clear depth before and after.

06
Finishing to zero holograms

Finishing polish technique, jeweling, and final inspection protocol. How to hand a car back with a perfect finish.
