Hey bro! About the only thing you can do for that is use a magic eraser and degreaser like you said, or you can also use degreaser with a rag

Thanks a ton!

Hey bro! It all boils down to every single gelcoat being different. Sometimes wake-up is enough to remove the swirls if we use the right pad, and others we need to throw another step into it to pull more imperfections out. It also depends on what the customer is paying for. To save them some money, sometimes we go straight to wake up to eliminate another step in the process to keep costs down.

We are typically around $100 per foot five or take depending on how many steps/processes that the customer wants

Thank you very much!

Yes we did 😎👍

Absolutely! These products work awesome on cars!

A lot of times you can feel it, gel coat will get much chalkier if it’s oxidized, paint does not oxidize as quickly.

Hey bro! I unfortunately don’t have a great method for restoring black rub rails, however clutch would be a great start!

The Jarred does not replace the medium cut compound, just car is just a straight sealant. After your final polishing stuff is when you apply the Jescar.

I believe this one was right around $2500 if I remember correct

Love it! Use it every single day😎

🔥🔥😎

Cutting, is removing an oxidized layer of the gelcoat and exposing a new shiny layer by using a rotary buffer, a wall wheel, and heavy cutting rubbing compound to expose that new layer of shiny gelcoat underneath the oxidized layer.

You can rinse them off lightly and miss them, just don’t jet them 100% of the time and make sure they don’t get submerged. Otherwise, it’s all good. At the end of the day, they are on a boat.😊

Hey there! I have personally not messed with inflatable yet, but I have a feeling I will be in the near future! Keep an eye out😉

Also thank you so much for this video, it was extremely helpful!

One more thing. Sorry for asking so many questions, I am just getting started on boat detailing with some friends. If I only would like to buy one buffer (the makita 9237), is it okay if I also use it for polishing and waxing. I was wondering since I noticed you switched to a different buffer for polishing and waxing.

If you’re going to use one machine, make sure it’s the Makita rotary buffer, not the orbital. At least you were able to cut with the rotary, and do all the other steps.

When I say split up in sections, just work in 2 x 2 areas to make sure you control the quality. If you’re running down the entire side of a hall willy-nilly, it’s very easy to not pay attention a certain certain spots you missed.

Glad it was helpful!

Yeah I was also wondering if you could do all the steps with a rotary buffer or if you actually need a different buffer for steps 2 and 3.

@thearr08 I have been in paint and body for the last 30 years and done my fair share of buffing I have used only a rotary buffer period. I have never seen anyone use a orbital except for applying a glaze or wax. I even did my own boat the same way but if the orbital buffer is a better option and cuts down on time then I'm in because I'm doing my aunts 30ft searay here real soon before they store it for the winter.

@@jeffbryner5355 Oh, makes sense. Thank you for the response. Do you know anything about microfiber and foam pad? If so, I was wondering how you clean them, because I assume a spur which you use to clean wool pads would be too rough to use on a foam or microfiber pad, but maybe not.

@thearr08 I have used a end of a putty knife and screw driver angled with the rotation of the buffer but im.not sure that's the right way 🤣

That is correct!

Hey there! I don’t do much teak, but when I do, I don’t use oil. This is my process ; m.czcams.com/video/hDLy00rCmDk/video.html

It’s likely that the swirls came from the rotary, I would just use the same one step products with a medium cutting foam pad on a da polisher. You can go to harbor freight and get a decent one if you don’t have one.

⁠thank you. I was going to order some Menzema 400 and the gray pad? Which product is best for my situation? Thanks again!

In this video, it was a griots garage DA polisher.

Keep getting after it bro! This job would be about 5k now 💯

@@DrakesDetailing oh yeah. not a dime less, great job bro,thanks!

Thanks 👍

I’m not familiar with 3M’s products, so I can’t really tell you what step finesse falls in, but yes, heavy cutting step isn’t with Wolf head and a rotary, medium cut/Schill removing is done with a rotational polisher and a foam pad, then your sealant is applied with a dual action polisher with a microfiber pad.

@DrakesDetailing finesse-it falls in between heavy cut and a polish. It takes out the heavy cut scratches. I have always used in with rotary makita buffer. Wasn't sure if a DA would be a better choice. I have never used a DA polisher when buffing.

The Lake country formal blend pad is an amazing Inbetweeners pad from rotary cutting to your force rotation polishing. It really helps break down the swirl mark, so then you can switch to an orange pad and pull the swirls out even better. It’s just an in between step from rotary cuttingto forced rotation.

Thanks!

You are so welcome!

Hey bro! Pretty close, I think this job is around $2500

Correct, after I’m done with all my compounding steps and before I seal, I wash the boat down. Then, I do my sealing process.

If maintain properly, yes if you are in the north, it will last you about two seasons. Down south you’ll probably get a year out of it 😎 Still much longer than the conventional polymer sealant

I believe this is a three day job!

Hey bro, not at this time, but I definitely be able to coach you over the Internet! Send me a DM on my Instagram or Facebook Facebook account

Glad it was helpful!

No it’s just a shiny sealant type of product

No it doesn’t have any abrasives in it.

Thanks man! For just the detailed wash in the center council you’re probably looking at anywhere from $20-$25 per foot. IMAR products really good on isinglass!

🔥🔥

Not true 💯

Thanks bro!😎

Yes, sir! Some of the best degreaser in the market!

Absolutely! Best stuff there is!

I’ve gone with State Farm, it’s worked for me

I would do each step as one whole side, but, it depends on if you have different people working with you. If there’s three guys on the job, each can be working on a different step on the same side to get one side done. Then repeat on the other side.

Hey bro, we were never able to figure out where the rust pots came from,

Hey there, bro, I have not used that product unfortunately so I cannot say.

Yes just don’t blast them directly
