Paint Protection Film

PPF Installation Training

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear, self-healing urethane film applied to a vehicle's painted surfaces to protect against rock chips, road debris, scratches, and UV damage. It's one of the fastest-growing and highest-margin services in the industry — professional installers regularly charge $2,000–$10,000+ per vehicle depending on coverage.

Mastering PPF opens doors to dealership contracts, high-end clientele, and repeat business. This course uses Opticle film and trains you to professional installation standards from day one.

Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating

Paint Correction & Coating Training

Paint correction removes swirls, scratches, water spots, and oxidation using machine polishing, restoring paint to a deep mirror-like finish. Ceramic coatings then protect that finish with a semi-permanent hydrophobic layer that repels water, resists UV, and drastically reduces maintenance time.

Together, they represent two of the most profitable detailing services available. Complete this course and earn your Nasiol Certification — authorizing you to install and sell Nasiol ceramic coatings professionally.

What You'll Learn
  • Paint systems & defect identification
  • Pad & polish selection
  • Machine polishing techniques
  • Sanding & multi-stage correction
  • Surface prep before coating
  • Ceramic coating application methods
  • Avoiding high spots & install errors
  • Coating paint, glass, wheels & trim
