Repairing a windscreen, rather than replacing one, is cost effective, saves on down time, and prevents further damage from occurring. Bullseyes, star breaks, and combination breaks can all be repaired.

All laminated windscreens, clear or tinted, heated or unheated, can be repaired in cars, coaches, and commercial vehicles. Windscreens are repaired in-situ: so there are none of the problems such as water leaks that are often associated with windscreen replacement. Plus, of course, repairs are the preferred choice of the major insurance companies.

Course Outline - Master Detailer Training Module No: 03-HC (3 Days)
£1,509.00 includes VAT and IMI registration.
Detailing is the process of thorough cleaning and decontamination of a vehicle followed by paint enhancement with machine polishing, making it ready to receive the wax and finishing dressings that will bring the vehicle to show quality. The focus is on quality of finish and attention to the tiny details, producing a better-than-showroom shine, that other methods are unable to achieve.
The candidate will undergo a 3-day training process that covers every aspect of detailing including (but not limited to): correct wash, clean, and preparation technique, an understanding of paint, machine polishing, protection, interior detailing, and finishing touches.
The candidate will carry out the detail work on the vehicle with constant demonstration, supervision, and appraisal from the trainer. Should the candidate be considering taking up detailing as a profession, discussion of the considerations needed for such a business with respect to costings, best practice and workflow will occur throughout each day of the training.
Although the training is laid out in three modules, the flow during each day will vary as the candidate learns, adapts, and gains confidence.
Click through the drop down below to find out more about each module.
This module covers all aspects of cleaning, decontaminating, and preparing the vehicle for further work. It includes removal of tar, bird lime, brake dust, grease, and other undesirable contaminants. It also includes discussion of product choices (such as the exclusive use of VOC compliant and biodegradable chemicals so as not to damage the vehicle or the environment) and efficiency/best cost practices vital to running a successful detailing business. The day concludes with interior detailing and the practices and products used.
Day one covers:
To get that better-than-showroom shine any car on the road will benefit from paint correction, be it a light enhancement or full-on correction. This module covers the process from start to finish, from understanding how paints and lacquers are applied and assessing and recognising different paint types, right through to machine polishing itself, and how it can remove light scratches, swirls, bird lime, and tree sap marks amongst other imperfections to reveal the true lustre of the paint. Depending on the colour of the paint and density of clear coat the candidate will be shown the correct machine, pad and polish combination together with the correct techniques needed to enhance any car. The candidate will gain vital hands-on experience of both rotary and dual action (DA) machines, and the benefits and limitations of both.
Paint Correction
The car is now clean and decontaminated, inspect the car for any re-spray work, accident damage, smart repairs, dents, major scratches, incorrect panel gaps, or anything that would suggest that the car has had aftermarket repair work to the exterior painted surfaces.

Using a paint depth gauge take 2-4 readings per panel to help assess the paint depth and to confirm your visual inspection of any repair work. Using a torch to reveal the swirl marks on the paint work.
Using a polisher with a cutting pad and compound to correct the vehicle, panel by panel. Inspection of work to see correction results until desired level of paint enhancement is achieved.
