Learn from the best!

Learn from the best!

Day one throws you straight into it. You'll get hands-on with rotary, dual-action, and forced-rotation polishers, so you actually understand how each one behaves, not just how it's supposed to work on paper. From there it's pad and abrasive selection, learning which combination fits which defect instead of guessing your way through it.

The real test comes when you sit down in front of a heavily neglected, high-mileage vehicle. Real swirls, real scratches, real wear. You'll learn to inspect the paint, identify what you're actually dealing with, and build a correction process you can repeat with confidence on the next car, and the one after that. Oberk's compound and pad lineup runs through the whole day, so you're learning the tools you'll actually use once you're back in your own shop.
