From Our Students

"I'd been watching YouTube videos for two years and still wasn't confident I wasn't damaging my paint. The Detailing Fundamentals course gave me an actual system — not just techniques, but why each step comes in the order it does. I stopped second-guessing every product I picked up."
James K. United Kingdom · Detailing Fundamentals — Beginner
"I was doing car washes and occasional hand polishes. The Paint Correction Masterclass changed what I thought was possible with a DA. Two weeks after finishing the course I took on my first paying correction client."
Riccardo M. Milano · Paint Correction Masterclass
"The certification was what I needed to close the gap with clients who ask 'are you trained to do this?' I can now say yes, show the certificate, and charge accordingly. The application module alone is worth the course price."
David O. Ireland · Ceramic Coating Certification
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need Paint Correction Masterclass before this course?
The Ceramic Coating Certification covers surface preparation including correction, so it can stand alone. However, if you intend to offer correction + coating as a professional service, taking the Paint Correction Masterclass first provides more depth on the correction stage.
Do I need professional-grade product to follow the course?
The course demonstrates professional product application and explains the differences between consumer and professional grades. You can follow the technique with consumer products, but professional results require professional products applied correctly.
