Spring Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating Training
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.
