LA Wrap and Tint School offers professional ceramic coating training at our Los Angeles facility. This hands-on course teaches you the complete ceramic coating process — from paint assessment and surface preparation to coating application and curing — so you can deliver durable, high-gloss results that customers love. Why Learn Ceramic Coating? Ceramic coatings have become one of the most requested services in the auto detailing industry. Customers are willing to pay premium prices for long-lasting paint protection that repels water, resists UV damage, and keeps vehicles looking freshly polished for years. By adding ceramic coating services to your skill set, you open the door to high-ticket jobs that can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars per vehicle. What This Course Covers Our ceramic coating training curriculum is designed to give you a thorough understanding of both the science and the hands-on technique behind professional-grade coatings. Surface Preparation and Paint Assessment Before any coating is applied, the paint must be properly prepared. You will learn how to assess paint condition using gauges and lighting, perform chemical decontamination (iron removers, clay bar treatment, tar removal), and determine whether paint correction is needed before coating. Proper preparation is the most important step in achieving a flawless, long-lasting result. Paint Correction Basics for Coating Prep Students learn single-stage and multi-stage polishing techniques to remove swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation before sealing the surface with a ceramic coating. Understanding when and how aggressively to correct paint is a critical skill that separates professional coaters from amateurs. Coating Application Techniques You will practice applying ceramic coatings to multiple panels and full vehicles under instructor supervision. Learn proper product ratios, applicator pad techniques, flash time management, and how to avoid high spots and streaking. We train with multiple coating brands so you gain experience across different product lines and formulations. Layering, Curing, and Aftercare Understand single-layer vs. multi-layer coating systems, proper curing conditions (temperature, humidity, infrared curing), and how to advise customers on post-coating care and maintenance schedules. Hands-On Training on Real Vehicles Every student works directly on vehicles throughout the course. You will prep and coat multiple panels, learning to handle different paint types, colors, and conditions. Our small class sizes ensure you receive direct feedback and guidance from instructors who have coated hundreds of vehicles professionally.
