Why This Course

One skill, two ways to use it.

Ceramic coating is one of the highest-margin services in detailing — and one of the easiest to get wrong. This course removes the guesswork.

Protect your own car

Skip the $600–$1,500 shop bill. Learn the exact prep, application, and cure process to get showroom-level gloss and protection in your own garage.

Add a service you can sell

Ceramic coating jobs routinely sell for hundreds of dollars in labor alone. Detailers and mobile techs use this training to add a premium tier to their menu.

Train your whole team

Shop owners and dealership managers use the course to get every installer applying coatings the same, correct way — consistent results, fewer comebacks.

Course Curriculum

Every step, in order.

Self-paced video modules you can rewatch as many times as you need — shot in a real bay, on a real car, start to finish.

Reading the paint

How to inspect a vehicle, spot swirl marks and contamination, and decide what prep work the paint actually needs.

12 min

Wash, decontaminate & strip

The correct wash sequence, clay/chemical decontamination, and how to strip old wax or sealant so the coating can bond.

15 min

Paint correction basics

Compounding and polishing to remove defects before coating — and how to know when a panel is truly ready.

18 min

Applying the ceramic coating

Panel-by-panel application technique, working time, leveling, and how to avoid high spots and streaking.

20 min

Curing & final inspection

Cure times, environment control, and the final buff-off and inspection pass professionals use before delivery.

10 min

Maintenance & upsells

What to tell customers about aftercare — and how shops turn a coating job into repeat maintenance visits.

The Science

Why a real ceramic coating outlasts wax.

Wax and sealants sit on top of the clear coat and wash away in weeks. A ceramic coating chemically bonds to the paint at the molecular level, forming a hard, glass-like layer that actually becomes part of the surface.

The course spends real time here — not just the "how," but the "why" — so you understand what's happening on the panel and can troubleshoot when something looks off.

Cross-linked SiO2 bond, not a surface film
Multi-year hydrophobic protection when applied correctly
Adds gloss and UV resistance the factory clear coat can't match alone

Tim Pitschke

Owner / Operator, Car Cleen Systems

Tim built Car Cleen Systems around one idea: give detailers and dealerships professional-grade products that actually perform — and teach people to use them right. Every module in this course is filmed on real vehicles, using the same process his own crew runs on paying jobs.

No filler, no stock footage — just the technique, panel by panel, the way it's actually done in the bay.

Questions

Before you enroll

No. The course starts at the beginning — reading the paint and washing correctly — so it works whether this is your first coating job or your fiftieth.

Many students take this course specifically to add ceramic coating to their service menu, or to train employees on a consistent process. It's built to work either way — personal project or business skill.

Yes. $97 gets you full, lifetime access to every module — no subscription, no recurring charge.

The course is filmed using Car Cleen Systems' Professional Ceramic Coating kit, so it lines up exactly if you use the same products — but the technique itself applies to ceramic coatings generally.

Lifetime access. Watch it once before your first job, or come back to it every time you're prepping a car.
