Spring Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating Training

$1,299.00

April 25–26 | Carol Stream, IL

Join us for a focused, hands-on weekend at the Gloss University Studio in Carol Stream, Illinois.
This two-day training takes place
Saturday and Sunday, April 25–26, and is limited to just 6 students to ensure personalized instruction and real-world learning.

This class is designed for detailers with basic professional experience or those who have completed our Online Paint Correction Training. The goal is simple: build confidence, clarity, and consistency in paint correction and ceramic coating services.

What Makes This Training Different

Students will work on two dramatically different vehicles at the same time, creating a realistic and challenging learning environment:

  • High-mileage vehicle with severe defects
    Learn how to approach heavily neglected paint systems, evaluate risk, and choose the correct correction strategy.

  • Brand-new vehicle with under 100 miles
    Focus on polishing, light correction, and proper surface preparation for ceramic coating.

This side-by-side approach gives students real-world perspective—how strategy, technique, and expectations change depending on the vehicle.

In addition to hands-on work, students will learn industry terminology, workflow planning, and how to confidently sell paint correction and ceramic coating services to future clients.

Optional Friday Night Meet & Greet

Friday | 6:00–7:30 PM (Optional)

Students are welcome to stop by the shop Friday evening for an informal meet and greet.
You’ll get:

(Attendance is optional but encouraged.)
