About This Workshop

Over time, the paint on vehicles loses its shimmer and glossy effect due to normal wear and tear. Even brushless car washes can leave scratches in the clear coat, diminishing the vehicle’s overall appearance. While lighter-colored vehicles may show fewer imperfections, darker-colored vehicles often reveal more noticeable flaws. Regardless of color, the gloss factor inevitably fades. In this comprehensive two-day workshop, Randy will guide students through the process of restoring a vehicle’s paint to near-original condition. Students will learn how to remove minor scratches, ways to revive diminishing paint, buffing techniques, touch-up techniques, and how to maintain a beautiful finish. This workshop provides students with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to restore and maintain the appearance of their vehicles, enhancing both their aesthetic appeal and value.
