To seal the paint, the class will install the Dr. Beasley's Nano-Resin MX Ceramic Coating. This is a two part process starting with applying the Paint Coating Builder and followed with the actual coating.

Here's Cam demonstrating the correct technique for applying, leveling and then removing a ceramic coating.

Clear Plastic Window Polishing
Here's what OUR PowerPoint looks like - a SINGLE SLIDE that's clear and to the point. The students can simply take a picture of the PowerPoint slide as it is displayed on the big screen in the shop so they can easily remember or revisit the process in case they ever need to do this to a car they are detailing.

More Topics - More Techniques - More Tools
When I say we cover more topics, techniques and tools in our class as compared to ANY other class on planet Earth, here's the receipt. And keep in mind, this class also learned THREE different styles of GLASS POLISHING plus all the other topics we cover in all our classes.

Here's a topic NO OTHER CLASS includes in their course, or at least, they don't include it with the "normal" class topics and this is how to machine polish flexible, clear plastic windows. For this February, 2026 class, we have a 1963 Corvette Stingray with the ORIGINAL factory installed vinyl top and this includes the original flexible, clear plastic window. In the marine world, this is called Isinglass.

As I type in the year 2026, this 1963 Corvette is 63 years old! Probably older than a lot of people that will read this article into the future. And over these 6+ decades, the top and the back window are in pretty shabby shape. Check out the before and after pictures, plus the process we used to restore visibility, clarity and even beauty to the window and thus the entire car.

Here's the final look for the entire car. And wait for the vinyl top before and after pictures, before the class started, the WHITE vinyl top was TAN with dirt stains over the year.

Class Training Topic - Removing ACID ETCHED STAINS off of GLASS!
Here's the PowerPoint slide for this topic. Short, concise and to the point. The students taking this class can simply take a picture of the slide and of course, retain the muscle memory for training on this process in the class.

First, a few BEFORE pictures to provide the dramatic before and after results.

It's FRIDAY!
It's the day BEFORE the actual class starts and this is when we cover topics like glass polishing and plastic window polishing.

It's GO TIME!
Here's the folks that were able to be here on Friday training to remove acid etchings off of the original glass on this all-original 1962 Impala.

Removing ACID ETCHING off of glass - 1962 Impala
First a demonstration and explanation of the correct technique, pads and products.

Then the class takes over, with Josh and Julie up front working on the windshield

This type of polishing really stresses your deltoid muscles as you press firm pressure to the head of the rotary polisher.

The reason it stresses your deltoid muscle is because the windshield is at about a 45 degree angle

Here's John doing some edgework

Here's Kathie working the rear back side window

Tackling the back window are John and Corey

Julie helping out with the passenger side glass windows

Here's where the class started...

Here's the final results!

There are simply no other class like the classes we teach here in Stuart, Florida. None.
