$2,500 per student. Requires pre-class interview and approval for participation
The ultimate sanding, polishing, and finishing course at the world-class RUPES BigFoot Detailing Academy. If you’ve ever wanted to learn what it takes to finish paint to the highest levels possible, this is the course for you! Learn the intricacies, techniques, and science of sanding aftermarket paint to produce show-winning results from our globally recognized team of trainers.

This class is not for the faint of heart or the inexperienced. Your existing skills will be tested and you will work hard to complete the car in just 3 days. This exclusive class is limited to only 6 students.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS CLASS IS FOR EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS ONLY. To ensure that your skills and the content are aligned an interview will be conducted by the lead instructors prior to registration to determine eligibility for the class.
