Our 201 Enthusiast Day caters to the ultra-passionate car aficionados who aren’t just content with maintaining their vehicles but aspire to elevate them to showroom-worthy perfection through correction and enhancement techniques. Tailored for those who’ve previously attended our 101 Enthusiast session, this advanced workshop requires a solid foundation in preparation work and wash procedures, as the focus is predominantly on paint correction.
Throughout the day, participants will delve into a comprehensive range of topics, including:
- Understanding compound types and their chemistry.
- Approaching different paint types with precision.
- Pre-work decontamination wash, incorporating clay and clay pads, along with the pros and cons of various decontamination methods.
- Expert tips on masking and surface protection to safeguard delicate areas.
- Mastering lighting and inspection techniques for flawless results.
- Hands-on experience with machine work, covering Dual Action and Forced Rotation polishers to correct and enhance the paint surface.
- Delving into deeper defect removal methods, including scratch hand sanding for impeccable finishes.
- Exploring coatings, such as ceramic and polymer, and mastering their application techniques.
The day culminates with a comprehensive Q&A session, providing participants with the opportunity for personalised advice and guidance on any issues encountered during the workshop.
Given the intensive nature of the content, the workshop runs from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm, with a break for lunch. Participants will be immersed in hands-on experiences throughout the day, working through all steps of a full correction process. Post-workshop, attendees are encouraged to further refine their skills by practising on their own vehicles, with ongoing support available if required.
The course is run from our fully equipped studio in the heart of Gloucestershire, with easy access to the M4/M5, and under an hour and a half to the M25.
