This is just a brief overview of what will be covered. We will answer any questions you have along the way.

This class will be as hands-on as possible as we believe it is the best way to learn. We want everyone to be involved, using chemicals, mitting, claying etc.

We also have a large and quite diverse amount of machine polishers so we would like to give everyone who might be unsure/nervous of machine polishing to try out a couple of machines.

Please be aware that this is not a class on paint correction. The main focus is PREVENTING damage being caused to your pride and joy.
