Rupes Bigfoot Detailing Centre Coming to SA
Hey guys
Its has been ages since posting on the forum. I am proud to announce that Pristine Detailing will be opening South Africa's first Rupes Bigfoot Car Detailing Centre & Academy in Johannesburg. It has been a dream to open a proper setup and made a promise to myself that when I do it was gonna be a world class setup with the best detailing lighting setup, equipment etc. Along with a range of detailing services, we will also be offerring formalised detailing training in line with Rupes Bigfoot standards.
The centre will be located in Riversands Commercial Park and we are 3 weeks into build.
This also means that the entire Rupes Bigfoot product range will be available from Pristine Detailing as well as we will know also be an official distributor of the Bigfoot range which will be available from the centre as well as our online store.
I had the privilege of getting a tour of the Rupes factory today to see first hand the Rupes Bigfoot machines being manufactured. Unfortunately, one is not allowed to take pics of this process. You get to really appreciate what actually goes into making one of the best detailing machines that has taken the world by storm. The R&D that has gone into the making of these machines is mindblowing...the thought and science behind each and every component. It is when you get to understand these process one then realises that as much as there will be copies of these machines it will never be a Bigfoot machine and this is also based on my own first hand testing and experience.
Stay tuned for more updates

Re: Rupes Bigfoot Detailing Centre Coming to SA
Huge Rupes fan here!
Hope this means better everything for the Rupes users. Quick question Vish, how does this tie in with Fraser or Celette? Does this entail hardware, polish, pads, service, sales, end to end etc.? For those of us who import Rupes will there be any benefit? Just need some clarity, also best of luck on this endeavor, hoping this grows the Rupes(Ferrari of polishers) brand in SA.

Re: Rupes Bigfoot Detailing Centre Coming to SA
thank you guys for all the well wishes.
Zubair, My arrangement is directly with Rupes in Italy and I will be bringing in directly from the factory. This has no association or with fraser or celette.
For now the product range will be end to end in terms of the bigfoot range from a sales perspective. We have still to finalise how servicing and and repairs would be handled.
When you say, "for those who import Rupes will there be any benefit", what do you mean? From a pricing perspective I am hoping to offer them at more competitive pricing than it currently is.
Again having insight to the operations and strategy, there are exciting new developments in terms of products and the continuous improvements to the range and quality.

Re: Rupes Bigfoot Detailing Centre Coming to SA
Studio needs to be seen in real, state of the art everything. Also service and pricing especially can't be touched. Vish is definitely doing the brand justice.
