Paint Protection Film

Paint protection film (PPF) is a clear, thin, and durable film made of polyurethane or polypropylene that is applied to a vehicle’s exterior surfaces to protect it from scratches, rock chips, and other types of damage. It is also known as clear bra, clear film, or simply PPF. 

Window Tint

Window tint is a thin film that is applied to the windows of a car, home, or other buildings to reduce the amount of light and heat that passes through the glass. It is typically made of a polyester film that is coated with a thin layer of metal or other materials.

Car Care

In our car care category, we will mainly be focusing on paint correction and ceramic coatings which help perfect the way the paint looks and the coatings helps protect the maintenance of that surface.

Once we touch on the process of correcting that surface, we’ll teach you how to apply ceramic coatings to the surface for maintenance protection which will make it easier for the owner to maintain all that hard work you put in to perfecting that paint.

PPF Foundation

Our 4-day foundation course is design to meet the needs of someone just coming into the craft.  PPF is a complex art form that takes plenty of practice and patience to perfect over time so that longer term it can be a well paid profession.  Students will be given a rigorous course curriculum filled with lots of hands-on work to the point that they will be able to confidently tackle a full front end on their own.  They might take a few attempts per panel, but they will know what the standard is and how to work through issues to meet the customer’s standard..
