Car Detailing Online Course – Outline

Unit 1: Detailing the Interior

In this auto detailing school module, detailing professional Jim Papallo from Pacer Auto Products will discuss how to make light work of an interior detail job.

How to vacuum the interior

Wrappings, food spores, dust particles, pet fur, and other allergens all collect inside a vehicle. As a result, it needs frequent vacuuming to remove debris so that owners can enjoy their journey in a clean vehicle. A clean car also has less pollen and dust particles, making it easier to be in, particularly for those who suffer from asthma or allergies.

What vacuum tools to use

A powerful vacuum cleaner, accessories, and various types of brushes are needed to vacuum a vehicle. Soft, narrow, and broad brushes are among the attachments that aid in touching all areas of the car's interior.

How to get into hard-to-reach crevices

It is advised that an interior car clean is carried out on a daily basis is important to keep it in decent shape. However, some drivers and car owners neglect to clean their vehicle's hard-to-reach places. Leaving these places dirty increases the likelihood of rust, which can spread to other parts of the vehicle.

How to do extraction cleaning of upholstery

When washing some kind of upholstery, a common myth is that the more water used, the better the result. This is far from the case since more water does not always equate to more successful stain removal. Moisture is also really harmful to the leather, and it can kill it as well as give the inside of the vehicle a musty or stale odor. So, both leather care and odor removal are key skills that will be covered in the Courses For Success training and certificate program.

How to apply upholstery protection

Simply placed surface protectors and sealants produce a hydrophobic coating on garments, allowing liquids to bead and roll off instead of soaking in and staining. Water highlighting and other liquids can be prevented by using a cloth protectant like scotchgard or 303, in principle. This is a job that is always best handled by certified detailers.

What detailer product to use for cleaning interior windows

If grease and grime obstruct your vision, it's time for a windshield scrub. Cleaning the interior of the windshield to minimize debris, smudges, and film every few weeks can offer a better picture of what's ahead and reduce the chance of a car crash. It also increases the performance of the defroster.

How to professionally dress the interior

A vehicle's look and shine can be preserved through washing, brushing, paint correction, and safety. The final dressing and detail, though, is where the importance of a technical detail is exposed. The icing on the cake is correctly applied tire dressing, and conditioned leather is the cornerstone for a fantastic looking interior. Interior and exterior dressings, when applied properly, are essential to the consistency of the final product.

For old or damaged interiors, professional training will give detailers the skills to carry out interior repair and auto reconditioning. You are unlikely to achieve a professional finish if the car is in a state of disrepair, so good auto detailing businesses should know how to carry out common fixes.

Unit 2: Engine Bay

This section of the detailing training and certificate program will teach you how to clean and outfit the engine bay and wheels to the level expected by the IDA certification board.

What mistakes to avoid

Because of the precision work expected in the detailing industry, engine construction leaves very little space for error. In most cases, there are no second opportunities, no calling for mercy, and no hoping that the error will go unnoticed. Making errors always results in more labor or disastrous loss, with the worst case being that everything ends up as a pile of debris in the detailer garage at the end of the job.

What products will work best

The engine bay is an important part of a vehicle because it contains the engine as well as a few electrical components, including the Engine Control Module in some cases. Dirt and dust collect in and around the bay over time if it is not swept. Grime will also thicken as a result of prolonged exposure to heat and moisture. This can be combated by using the proper detailing chemicals, which are covered in all good detailing training programs. These include degreasing, cleaning, and shining materials.

How to dress the engine bay to make the motor look brand new

When it comes to maintaining a sustainable car engine, many people feel overwhelmed by the idea of doing so themselves. The thought of detailing a car engine makes most of us sprint in the opposite direction due to the various electrical connections and other moving parts that make it up. But, car engine washing is actually one of the simplest activities in the world of auto detailing.

How to use tools correctly

When cleaning the engine bay, it is crucial to take some time to use the right things in the right order. Engine bays come in a range of forms, sizes, and layouts, so learning the bay and where to mask up is key.

Unit 3: Body Wash

This lesson will show you how to wash the car's exterior. The customer sees the body wash first when they pick up their vehicle and, as such, it is the most important aspect of the detailing process.

What products to use

It is important to buy a quality car wash and wax soaps. Avoid using dish detergent or other soaps that are made to combat grease, as they can strip wax or other protective coatings from the vehicle. Car shampoos are made to be used on paint surfaces and transparent paints, with added lubrication to allow dust and grime to slip right off while washing. 

Tips on the best equipment to use

Cleaning a car is one of those jobs that cannot be avoided but is surprisingly challenging to master. It will take a lot more than a bucket of lukewarm water and a sponge if the owner wants to achieve something similar to a showroom finish. The ideal products include:

• Foam gun.

• Detailing brushes.

• Clay bar.

• Glass cleaners.

• Grit guard.

Those who want to offer a more professional detailing service to enhance the auto appearance can acquire specialty detailing equipment that will allow them to offer services that will correct issues such as paint overspray or a dirty convertible top. 

You should be aware that you may need specialty materials if the vehicle has a vehicle wrap, paint protection film, or if it requires convertible top care.

With a training certification and the right equipment, mobile auto detailers can offer:

• Paint overspray removal and overspray removal of other substances, including varnish or stain.

• Paintless dent repair.

• Glass repair.

• Headlight restoration.

• Waterless wash.

• Random orbital polishing.

• Ceramic coating, if they have received ceramic coating training.

The areas that people forget

It's one thing to have a clean exterior, but if the interior is filthy, the car is unlikely to be enjoyable to drive. As a result, cleaning both the exterior and the interior of a car is essential to the overall cleaning process.

Unit 4: Polish

The exterior paintwork is cleaned and waxed in this lesson. How to buff oxidized paint and apply a cutting polish and wax by hand to restore a dark, deep shine to the paintwork are all discussed. It will show you how a polished look can be achieved with ease when the right items are paired with the right methodology, making it easier to keep consumers happy.

How to put the finishing touches on

Moldings and emblems used to be attached to cars with pins or screws embedded in the molding or symbol and placed through holes in the body panels. Such pins and screws are virtually non-existent, and sticky tapes have taken their place.

The correct pads to use on the buff

Buffing pads are circular polishing pads that are used to polish paint and other hard surfaces. Wax, sealants, and other coatings may also be applied for them. The majority of pads are made of foam, but they can also be made of microfiber, fur, or a combination of the three. Although some pads may be used by hand, the majority are built to be used with a computer. They are available in a range of sizes and shapes for various applications.

What products and equipment to use

Generally, the most reliable and safest way for a car owner to determine which polisher or wax is best for their vehicle is to get it done by a professional or seek professional help. This is highly recommended in order to reduce the trial-and-error process when introducing it in your store, as well as to help you achieve and fulfil consumer standards.

In this part of the course, a recognized trainer will explain the difference between the following types of polisher and how to use them:

• Orbital polishers.

• Random orbital polishers.

• Buffers and polishers.

• Rotary polisher.

• Power buffers.

How to use a power buffer

Car buffers of high quality are designed to remove small defects in the paint's exterior. This is a microscopic level of detail. It will not degrade the consistency of the paint. The amount of paint that is finished and removed defines the cutting capability of a given buffer.

Unit 5: Specialty Products

With car detailing, there's a lot of detailing tools you need to ensure the automotive appearance is top notch. This includes wash mit, car waxes, wet sanding machine, microfiber towels, buffers polishers, drying towel, and more.

In this lesson, we’ll discuss some useful accessories to add to the car's kit. Tips on when to use these accessories, what applications to use them on, and how to get started and run a company are also offered.

• What quantity of products to buy.

• What vehicle will suit your business.

• How to work with water restrictions.

• How to name your business.
