1-Day Intensive Polishing Training | BigFoot Academy

THE BIGFOOT ACADEMY INTENSIVE 1-DAY POLISHING COURSE ($400)

A one-day, intensive, no-nonsense, training designed to help technicians get the peak polishing performance out of BigFoot polishing systems. In our years of supporting professional detailers, bodyshop technicians, and other professionals who polish daily, we’ve learned that while most users are getting deliverable results out of the system, they haven’t unlocked its full potential. In this course, you’ll work with our team of trainers to understand the dynamics of surface correction and how to adjust variables to deliver optimal performance, improved results, and do so more efficiently! This class will focus entirely on our flagship polishing system, BigFoot random orbital, for use in sanding and high-quality, efficient, surface correction.

THIS CLASS IS RECOMMENDED FOR PROFESSIONALS. Students must have a working knowledge of paint correction and be proficient in the use of random orbital polishers at the very minimum. There will be a very limited amount of introductory-level review included in this course.

If you have not been vaccinated we strongly encourage you to wear a mask. Students will be expected to make reasonable efforts to maintain social distance for the duration of the training and communicate to the RUPES team if they develop any COVID-like symptoms leading up to, during, or after the training.
