Crazy Shine! Full boat detailing tutorial | how to remove water spots from your boat.
I’m a mobile detailer and booked my first boat 2 weeks ago, I watched about 15 of your videos and did my first boat a couple days ago! I appreciate the detailed videos my man! Now I can’t wait to do more boats instead of cars ! I’m in Albuquerque so I don’t know how realistic that is lol.
hi drake i always watch your video i learned a lot what product can i use to clean my hull on the side cause my boat is 42 ft diesel and the smoke from the diesel engine got on the side of the hull
I just got some blue stains from a floating tube on my white vinyl. I tried the eraser and it’s not full off. What can I do ?
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
Simply freakin amazing. Well done my man
Thanks a ton!
Hi Drake, love your videos. What makes you decide on what you're using. For example; I notice that on some videos you use Chop-Top religiously after the heavy cut, and some you skip and go into the wake-up. Whats the thought process there? Thank you in advance and many blessings!
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.
Great job and video! What does this service cost?
We are typically around $100 per foot five or take depending on how many steps/processes that the customer wants
That was amazing great job.
Thank you very much!
Fantastic outcome! Do you pressure was the house sides and deck? Excited for the full video. 👍
Yes we did 😎👍
Can all these products be used on more than just water craft? Can they be used for detailing automobiles also?
Absolutely! These products work awesome on cars!
Drake when are we getting the full video tour of your sick trailer? I want to steal all of your organization and efficiency tips!
Any tips to determine if it's marine paint or gel coat?
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 Drake, thanks for all of the great info you share. What is your process for polishing a black rubber rub rail? And, are you using Shine Supply Clutch for anything? Thanks!
Hey bro! I unfortunately don’t have a great method for restoring black rub rails, however clutch would be a great start!
I'm assuming after that process I'm assuming you then use Jescar? Or can that replace your medium cut compound?
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.
Unbelievable amazing job! What did you charge for this $ ?
I believe this one was right around $2500 if I remember correct
So its been 8 months since you had this machine. How has it been so far?
Love it! Use it every single day😎
Houston tax.
🔥🔥😎
What is "cutting"?
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.
Haven’t seen any videos where you rinse the console with all the gauges.. I worry about flooding electronics and would like to see how you do it please
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.😊
Question: have you ever tried lightly sanding an inflatable RIB's tubes to restore new look? I had my side console professionally restored and they sanded the tubes to bring them back to life it was 20yrs old and looked brand new. I'm now working on my smaller inflatable I'm wondering about sanding it, any suggestions?
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😉
Wouldn’t buffing, polishing, and waxing the hull take ages when splitting the boat up into 2-3 foot sections since you have to wait 30 minutes for the wax to soak into the boat? Is there a more efficient way to do this? I was thinking you maybe just buff and polish the full half of the hull, then apply the wax at the end, let it dry, and then wipe it all off. Would that be a good way to go about doing this? P.S. I wouldn’t be using the same polish as you, so I wouldn’t be waiting for that to set in (unless you always let the polish soak in) And one more thing. If I am using foam pads for the polish and microfiber pads for the wax, how would I go about cleaning these pads? I would assume the pad spur would be too rough for them, but maybe not.
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.
I went from wanting to attempt to re upholster my seats to wanting to just do a whole refresh. Thanks for the details!
Glad it was helpful!
So you use a rotary buffer for the first compound step and then a DA or orbital buffer/polisher for the rest of the steps?
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!
Do you have any teak oil preferences ?
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
Your work is amazing! Have you used this product on RV gel coat? I have a lot of swirls after using Meguiars marine one step with wool pad. What do you recommend I do at this point. Thank you.
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!
What’s the name of the machine you’re using again?
In this video, it was a griots garage DA polisher. Here’s the one I use now:maxshineusa.com/product/dual-action-polisher-for-car-detailing-m8s-v2-5in-plate-8mm-throw-1000w-open-box/?_gl=1*jc7yp3*_up*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgqmvyv71hwMVe1tHAR14QBR3EAAYASAAEgKeDPD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAACfS6HE8aW4FtKvYunJrakQBlXpEN Use my discount code, DRAKE15 for 15% off of your purchase
Amazing work man I do it here in Vermont as well, but I got to say I'm not as good as you, thats a phenomenal job bro.. i have a question for you. Im having a hard time adjusting my prices to these crazy new times and was wondering what you would charge for that job now. $2600 isnt even close to what I'd charge today.. please let me know thanks man!🤌🙏
Keep getting after it bro! This job would be about 5k now 💯
@@DrakesDetailing oh yeah. not a dime less, great job bro,thanks!
Absolutely world class work. What “roughly” could a customer expect to pay for a job like that. Keep up the great work
Thanks 👍
So you compound with a rotary buffer then do you finesse is what im use to using and then polish with a da? In the body shop world we just use one machine for all 3 steps and thats a rotary buffer
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.
why do some polish with orange lake country foam and then some polish with wool foam pad? any difference in finish?
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.
Would have been interesting to see her expression on your work
Thanks!
Thank you for the great videos and tips on " How to do it, and what products to use..." 😎 From FL
You are so welcome!
Is this about a $2000 job? Looks awesome
Hey bro! Pretty close, I think this job is around $2500
Do you wash after Compounding? Before Sealer
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.
Typically, how long will a 2 coat last? 2-3 seasons?
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
How many hours were put into this resto and what did it cost?
I believe this is a three day job!
Beautiful job is there anyway I can come hang out with you for like a week to learn your skills trying to start my own detailing business
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
Excellent work! I learned quite a bit thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Does it remove light scratches from aluminium?
No it’s just a shiny sealant type of product
No it doesn’t have any abrasives in it.
Dude you're an amazing human being, humble but radiant in your passion and pride in your work. Thank you for all of the great information and advice. My question is: how much did you charge for that job on that 20' center console, for wash, wax, and hull included? Also, what do you use for the glass and plexiglass?
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!
You the best 😎
🔥🔥
Magic erasers have bleach in them.
Not true 💯
You’ve got the best vids brother
Thanks bro!😎
I like the fact that you use Castro Super Clean, I love the product, and i've been using it for over 30 years. In my opinion, it's the best cleaning product on earth as far as cleaning grease, grime, mold all most anything, you name it. But I give a warning to people reading this post. Do not ever use Castro Super Clean on aluminum because it will eat it..✌️
Yes, sir! Some of the best degreaser in the market!
Absolutely! Best stuff there is!
hey drake any recommendations on insurance for $1mil policy. like who to go with?
I’ve gone with State Farm, it’s worked for me
Would you recommend doing all the steps in a section and then moving on? Or could I Do step one, one day then step 2 the next day, and so on? Great videos!!!
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.
So where did the little pieces of rust come from. Scrolled through the video couple of times and never heard where the metal came from that caused the spots?
Hey bro, we were never able to figure out where the rust pots came from,
Have you used Ardex VG? How does it compare to the Marine 1000?
Hey there, bro, I have not used that product unfortunately so I cannot say.
So I can take off the seats of my jetskis and water can fall into and it’ll be fine right? Thanks
Yes just don’t blast them directly
