Take your paint-perfecting skills to the next level! The BigFoot Academy 2-Day Advanced Sanding & Polishing Training Course is hosted by RUPES USA at our JAX WAX Factory Store located in Holland Landing.

This intensive course will be conducted by the RUPES world-class training team and will feature a mix of both classroom instruction and hands-on training.  This class will focus on proper sanding techniques to remove texture and severe paint defects, as well as refining paint correction techniques for improved efficiency and results.

THIS CLASS IS RECOMMENDED FOR PROFESSIONALS ONLY Students must have a working knowledge of paint correction and be proficient in the use of random orbital polishers at the very minimum. Students should be comfortable with the basics of sanding techniques. There will be no novice-level instruction included.

A registration fee of $999 per student is required in advance. Lunch will be provided for each day of the class. $200 of this payment can be used as a credit towards in store purchases at the JaxWax.ca Factory store the class weekend only.

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
