Each class at the RUPES BigFoot Academy is custom-tailored to the student’s goals. We open the class with a discussion of current skills, pain points, and goals. Below is the basic class outline, but these subjects can be changed, rearranged, expanded, or limited based on class input and feedback. All topics are a combination of both classroom theory and hands-on time. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that each student leaves the class having gained valuable technical skills that they can put to use in their business.

  • Diagnosing defects and defining paint characteristics
  • The “go vs. no-go” paint assessment process
  • Machine sanding including texture leveling and texture matching
  • Sanding for efficiency in the paint correction process
  • Comparison of tool movements, selecting tools based on variables
  • Technique adjustments for situational performance gains with all tool movements
  • Polishing pad selection and maximizing pads for results
  • Edgework tools and using compact tools with maximum efficiency
  • Polishing science and the dynamics of how paint responds to abrasion
  • Express paint correction, 1-step procedures, maximizing profit by delivering customer-pleasing results

*Note – classes at the BigFoot Detailing Academy are technically focused and do not include business management, marketing, or operational coaching. 100% of the training is spent on the technical applications of sanding and polishing procedures.
