Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Wet Sanding Course suitable for beginners?
No. Wet sanding is an advanced process and is not suitable for complete beginners. We recommend machine polishing experience before booking.
Is it hands-on?
Yes. You will practise controlled sanding and refinement on real panels using professional tools and guidance.
Why is wet sanding useful?
Wet sanding can remove selected heavy defects, etching and texture that normal machine polishing cannot, when carried out correctly on suitable paint.
What if wet sanding is not suitable?
Part of the course is learning when not to wet sand. Paint depth, defect depth and panel condition all matter, and we teach honest assessment.
Where is the training held?
At our Detailing and Training Centre in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, close to Derby and Nottingham.
