Advanced Machine Polishing (1-to-1)

£1,190.00 - 2 day course

For those seeking perfection in polishing techniques.

 

Advanced Machine Polishing is a two-day, one-to-one course for detailers and professionals who already have hands-on machine polishing experience and want to push it significantly further.

Where most training focuses on a single machine type, this course covers all of them — rotary, dual-action, forced drive, nano polishers, and flexible shaft — working each to its limits and exploring exactly when and why you’d choose one over another. The result is a level of flexibility and precision that separates genuinely skilled polishers from those following a fixed process.

The course can accommodate up to two people, making it a strong option for business partners or colleagues looking to train together.

What this course is about

Most machine polishing training teaches a method. This course teaches understanding — the kind that lets you adapt to any paint type, condition, or machine, and consistently get the result you’re after.

Over two days, you’ll move through all machine styles rather than focusing on one, exploring the variables that experienced polishers manipulate to achieve exceptional results: speed and pad combinations, ambient temperature and paint rebound, clear coat solids and their effect on technique, and the limits of what painted surfaces can actually withstand. The aim is to move past instilled habits and into genuine mastery.

Who it’s for

This course is designed for three groups:

detailers who have completed our Foundation Machine Polishing day or the Flexxpert All In training and are ready to go deeper;

experienced polishers who have worked across multiple machines and want to push their efficiency and quality to a higher level;

and professionals outside of detailing — bodywork, refinishing, and related trades — who regularly machine polish and want to address the gaps and inefficiencies in their current approach.

 

You should be comfortable with surface preparation and decontamination before attending. If you’re unsure whether your current ability level is the right fit, get in touch before booking — we’ll give you an honest answer.

What the two days cover

The course builds progressively across both days. You’ll work through rotary, dual-action, forced drive, nano, and flexible shaft machines — understanding not just how to use each, but when each is the right tool.

You’ll explore pad and compound variables in depth, examine how environmental factors affect outcomes, and work on challenging paint conditions to develop real-world judgment rather than textbook responses.

The course runs 09:30–16:30 each day.

Uncertain if this course covers your needs or suits your current ability level? Don’t hesitate to reach out to our team via call or message, and we’ll be pleased to provide guidance on selecting the course best suited to your requirements and situation.
