Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Yves
My name is Yves. A covering installer for over 10 years, I have been training professionals in automotive covering and PPF installation since 2023 for Covering.fr.
My goal: to help you improve your quality, consistency, and speed, with a clear installation method, clean techniques, and workshop standards that avoid costly mistakes: bubbles, creases, tensions, risky cuts, fragile finishes, or poor surface preparation.
I work with a very hands-on approach: demonstrations, live corrections, repetitions, and the implementation of an effective work routine. The aim is not just to 'know how to install', but to install well, quickly, cleanly, and reproducibly, whether in covering or PPF.
What I offer
Covering training: beginner → advanced
Installation, thermoforming, managing curves, joints, finishes, tensions, cuts, and quality standards.
PPF training: initiation → advanced
Wet application, preparation, gel management, positioning, controlled stretching, finishes, edges, returns, secure cuts, and complex areas.
Methodology & preparation:
Surface preparation, decontamination, degreasing, temperatures, tool selection, defect prevention, and pre-delivery quality control.
Installer / team coaching:
Weakness diagnosis, technique correction, field support, and personalized progression plan.
Workshop optimization:
Processes, checklists, organization, installation time, quality standards, profitability, and finish consistency.
For whom?
Covering centers, PPF installers, detailers, aesthetic preparers, garages, independents, and workshop teams looking to level up or increase their speed.
📍 On-site interventions possible / in the workshop / intensive sessions
I work with a simple framework: clear objectives, targeted exercises, concrete corrections, and measurable results: quality, installation time, finish, and consistency.
