BRO!!!! PRESSURE WASHING LEAVES?!?!?! J/k I saw like 100 comments about the damn leaves.... nice job man, keep it up and everyone else... STOP FOCUSING ON THE DAMN LEAVES. 🍃
@@DrakesDetailing drake I had a question, what vacuum did you use for the water? Also is it better to pressure wash the leaves or can you use a vacuum and do it? I visited florida for the first time in my life and after a fishing trip I helped a friend clean a boat. And I though about maybe trying to start my own detailing boat business. So watching your videos will really help me with that. Thanks a lot. I’ll definitely be asking for more advice in the future 😂. Keep up the good work. It really helps me and your viewers as well.
drake i spoke with you on the phone one time. ill never forget it was when i was first starting off, and we talked for the longest! you gave me some pointers man and i really appreciate that. 🙏🙏🙏
Hey man, I started a detailing business 3 months ago and my life has changed. Making the money we do for yourself feels surreal. I have a banner on my car and a customer calls me when i’m in traffic inquiring about a 40” boat. Now I know i’m going to knock this one out the park. Thank you.
Great video. Thank you for putting the before after at beginning of your video. And thank you for showing and sharing products used and method. Making $100 hr never been easier. Thanks again.
Watching you do the works and give tips to those want to learn how to get it done is top notch 👍! Your personality is the way of life some of us needs to learn...
Love your content brother!! I'm new to the lil wash n wax boat hustle. But MAN OH MAN you have THE BEST content for this subject on CZcams. My skills are on 10 now because of your stuff!! I'm grateful tbh. Thanks brother!! Game Changer here baby!!!
Hey may! Awesome work. Could you do a list of products and tools needed for someone that’s interested in starting. I work full time and would love to do this on the side.
sensational work with fantastic delivery. Really appreciate a delivery which is free of blabbing rubbish like so many are. Professional and to the point highly appreciated!!!
I just started a mobile detailing business and landed myself my 1st 16ft boat for this weekend, excited but of course nervous lol this definitely helps
Bro love the channel. Please keep up the boat detail videos. Been in business for 3 years and just really getting into boats; and there's no real detailing channels that go into boats. Cheers!
Thanks bro! That’s the reason I started this channel, there is no good info on boats out there! Stay tuned for some great stuff I’m working on coming up!
7 minutes, I like the fact that you appreciated the customer and justified that $500 was a good price because she was nice. I've been doing Professional Automotive Detailing for about a year and am moving from AZ to a place where there is tons of boats. I figured why not try to work on some boats I bet I could make some money. Also I was thinking you should vacuum the interior first that way all those leaves that are soiled don't fly around to areas that you may have already cleaned. Great content! Looking forward tot seeing more of your videos.
Awesome video! Lots of great tips and I like how you simplify it all, not complicated. I used to live about 15 minutes from Griots garage in Tacoma, WA man that place has become big time!
great clean job! - one tip you might find useful : sometimes I find its best to literally use a broom and dustpan to get some of the leaves out before you powerwash.
For rust marks and brown stain from the water line down I used to cross the US border at Sumas Washington to pick up a product called Barkeepers Friend. It’s a powder that comes in a can like Ajax’s or comet cleanser. Make a paste on your smaller brush lather it up let it soak for a few minutes use your brush or rag to wipe it off. It’s an amazing product. $5.00 up in Canada now.
I just did a boat that looked like this on the inside took me about 5 and half hours nice job would love to pick your brain about starting my detailing business
I went From being a Car / motorcycle/ Suv/ TruckDetailer , to doing boats Just upted my game and Got a Dewalt polisher with huje wool pads , and a Maxshine 1000 , best money Spent Ever Gelcoat is Not Super Ez , but with the right Equipment it's getting better.. I"ll give this Stuff a Try , thanks for the Cool imput.. 😎😀👍😊
I never comment to videos, just wanted to say thanks for the information, but more important! LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE to starting out and the money will come! You definitely take Pride In your work and your attitude to life is Awesome. May you keep receiving many blessings your way!! 🚤
Dude!!! I know this is a few years old now, but I just came across. You have definitely inspired me. I have a page and a half worth of notes. You've made me believe I may can actually DO this!
Hey Drake, I just wanted to say thank you for the video’s, I have learned a lot from you. I rewatched one of your video this morning on my way to detail a boat. The inside of the boat I worked on today was no were as dirty as the one you did in this video. It took me a 6 hours with a helper.
Awesome Bro! You will get faster! Biggest thing is to set up a system that works for you And do it the same way every time. I pretty much do every boat the same way every time! Makes it easier and faster!
@@DrakesDetailing back in my olden days I was a football coach. Listen to the successful coaches, they do they same things over and over again! So congratulations! I enjoyed the video. These days I own a boat, I don't think I need a $400 polisher, but the pads seem to be the key. Will they work on any polisher? And if you had to (or are allowed to) can you recommend a cheaper one for some spot duty on a boat? TIA
Electric pressure washers have gotten stronger now that it's really all you need for a boat. Light weight. And they aren't running all the time, only when needed
Great attention to detail. Only thing I’d like to see as a boat owner is vacuuming the leaves out. Don’t want to get those in the bilge area and block bilge pumps if it’s not self bailing.
Hey! Thanks a lot for the tip on the pump sprayer and the 25%,25% and fill it up concoction. My baby looks brand new again. Cheers, Ken Warren Nova Scotia , Canada
Awesome video man. I use a leaf mulcher to get leaves and big chunks of dirt first thing so I don’t have to constantly re rinse the boat. I learn a lot for your videos but figured I’d share my tip with you
I use a 12 gallon shop vac for super dirty decks especially if they got tons of leaves. I also observed that you got into the boat with dirty shoes. That kind of messes up your work. I use shoe covers after every wash so I do not cross contaminate.
Absolutely wonderful videos! any suggestions for removing barnacles from fiberglass hull . also - best way to clean metal "'Wall" on pontoon, THANK YOU!
Just subscribed. Awesome job man. Hard working young guy. Excellent job. I am a bit "seasoned" LOL.. but would've love to do that kind of work in my younger years.
Wooow,I do the exact thing you do drake 25% bleach 25% Purple power and the rest water,but my dumb ass service manager tells me not to mix it,it's wrong,but I know what I'm doing,you just helped me prove him wrong after 7 years on the job
You earned my like man! I’m a mobile detailer and just expanded into boats. When cleaning, have you ever used Lysol toilet cleaner or starbright instead of bleach?
Loved your video and thanks for all the tips. I have an old Arriva from Bayliner and it has lots of oxidation on the Gelcoat. I plan to revive the finish for this boat since it runs really good and I have no reason to just give it up. I've watched a few of your videos and I like all the great tips. I know I'm a novice when it comes to detailing, but I think, with some elbow grease, I get the old girl looking like her old self again. Thanks for all the great info.. I will take your advice on the Power lock product as well..
Very informative! Thank you. I’m working on a 23 yr old Custom Craft Ski Nautique in similar condition. I wish I’d taken a “before” picture. One suggestion: please where your seatbelt. I noticed you weren’t wearing one while you were filming in your truck as you were driving. 😬
Besides the seat belt, you should be using gloves, eye wear and/or faceshield around those chems...and be careful mixing chems, some don’t mix well together. Always check the Safety data Sheet (SDS) for the chems...a plus for the boots...just want you to not suffer any injuries and live a long happy life....
Great info. Easy sub! I'm going to be detailing my boat tomorrow after its been stored all winter. QUESTION. I have carpet in my bowrider. What do you recommend for that?
Great video, I detailed this exact same boat today but 2018 21’ red and black bottom. Needed a 3 step on the hull tho. Those chaparrals have some bad gel coat a lot of the time
Yo can you make a video about your pickup setup? That would be interesting to compare vs a just car detail setup. Did my first boat this week thanks to your video, great work man!
I have an old video from about a year or two ago that goes through everything in my truck. I’m not fancy, it’s literally just some bins in the bed of my truck, haha
I'm going to have to try this. I get customers asking me all the time for a simple wash/wax using cleaner wax and I refuse. I worked for a company that did nothing but cleaner/restorer waxes and the boats would be oxidized again in less than 3 months. Since I started my own business I've been trying to figure out a quicker/cheaper alternative for those people who just want that quick shine/wax with out those cleaner waxes.
I hear you man! I really hate when people want a chalky boat waxed ha! This boat was really not bad as for oxidation that’s why I did it this way! But if the gel coat is dry and really faded it won’t do much! I really hate cleaner waxes, with a passion ha
I try to educate every customer about the fact that wax will not fix oxidation and it may look good for a month or 2 then it’s all coming back! I’m in the business of fixing boats not just covering up their problems! Most of the other detailers in my area are just cleaner wax companies or companies that just hit it with heavy compound and wax... I started the channel to try to educate other detailer as much as possible to help the boat detailing industry as a whole!
@@DrakesDetailing I'm in the detailing group on Facebook and asked you about sanding few weeks ago. I've learned a lot from your vids and others in that group. I'm trying to build a business that gives a true detail job that will last. Quality over quantity. Don't quit making vids though!
I’m not! I enjoy doing the videos! I have a lot more coming out! Got some cool stuff planned! I’m in Tennessee for a week with my family on vacation but when I get back im going to start shooting a series on the detailing and running a detailing business! It’s going to be cool!
Real interested in the ceramic coating. Been doing cars for a bit but getting a boat within the next few weeks so really wanna give it a go on that first before I start advertising boat detailing too
I have a sales rep with igl. You’ll have to get approved before being able to buy! Call Brian Mattingly with IGL Coatings USA. 703-955-1019. Make sure you tell him Drake Robert sent you!
Looks good. Do you 303 the vinyl after cleaning? I know the bleach can strip the vinyl and cause it to dry out and stain easier, but the 303 protects it and keeps it soft
I've been using cleaner wax on my boat while cleaning it at the sandbar when I'm bored!! What would you recommend for that kind of cleaning. Only heavy clean twice a year. Otherwise boat sits on the dock all summer?? Also, what psi is your pressure washer. That wont damage the wiring on the engine bay or the wiring under the dash, or the seat stitching?? Thanks man
Awesome Video brother 👍I am also a Detailer who works on High End Boats and I am actually starting my own business to so I will be watching your videos for advice.
Hey Drake thanks for all your advice and tips I am a new subscriber, with that being said have you did a video on pressure washing I’ve always thought that was bad on gelcoat and which tip did you use on pressure washer?
Man I’ve truly learned a lot from you on keeping a boat clean. I do have a question for you what is your preferred nonskid works that’s easy to apply? I Definitely hit the subscribe button
Sweet! I used to be a car guy and now all I pretty much do are boats! I enjoy boats more and make way more money! Win win for me! Stay tuned! I try to post at least once a week!
Is there a video or page i can go To to see about how to charge for boats? I do cars and theres alot of boats around me.. Love the videos and god bless you for the free information and great content
The bottom is not part of my package that I sell people unless it is specifically requested. In that Case I require it to get lifted at a ship yard! I used to have some lifts but it wasn’t practical to keep them around for Mobile jobs.
Amazon doesn’t really have good pads... drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/products/7-5-x-1-5-buff-and-shine-grip-back-cutting-wool-pad?_pos=14&_sid=48a7ce073&_ss=r Here is a good one on my website, it will typically get to you in the same time Amazon prime will and it’s free shipping
@@DrakesDetailing Thank you for the quick response. I appreciate it. Gonna do my 2003 SeaRay 185 w/ some light oxidation (similar to the Chaparral in your video although no leaves or crud inside). Planning on following you video!
I would have tried using a blower to get the leaves out before wetting the boat! Seems like it would save a lot of time over using the power washer as a broom? 👍
I didn’t have a blower ha, i didn’t realize the boat had that much leaves in it. The customer didn’t tell me ha. Plus, I had taken a ton of leaves out before recording... they were just everywhere
Great informative video. I’m a mobile detailer snd just got asked to do a boat and this video is on time. I have a maxshine DA POLISHER that should work right along with the foam pad you recommend. I feel if I do a good job i be in the market to do more where I live
Cystomer wants a buff and wax. The Jescar should cover that right. The outside isn’t too bad just old and dull looking. It’s the interior that needs work
I’m a huge fan of purple power and super clean. I don’t really dilute them, because when I need them I generally need all the cleaning power I can get. You just need to be carful it does not sit in the surface too long
I have this boat but the outboard version.Wish you could come to Jax and do mine, but your video will have to do. One question, did you PW/wash inside the consoles?
Hey man great video next time to save a bit of time when leaves and junk are present shop vac them out then commence pressure wash may help with efficiency! Cheers!
BRO!!!! PRESSURE WASHING LEAVES?!?!?! J/k I saw like 100 comments about the damn leaves.... nice job man, keep it up and everyone else... STOP FOCUSING ON THE DAMN LEAVES. 🍃

Man I bet you could make a killing pressure washing those leaves away!! Kidding Buddy.. lol

Great tip!
You're auto/boat detailer goals. I love detailing it doesnt feel like work.
I appreciate the knowledge you share, i always try to improve and get better.
Thanks bro! Ha I love detailing boats, cars sort of drain the life out of me haha
Really grateful for these videos considering that I’m trying to start my own business
Great! I try hard to get y’all the info you need to start with confidence
I like the fact that you change shoes,I normally carry a pair of work boots for washing (especially in the winter)then my regular shoes👍
💯👍🏻
For rust marks and brown stain from the water line down I used to cross the US border at Sumas Washington to pick up a product called Barkeepers Friend. It’s a powder that comes in a can like Ajax’s or comet cleanser. Make a paste on your smaller brush lather it up let it soak for a few minutes use your brush or rag to wipe it off.

Nice! You can also spray rust aid on the hull as well! Works great! Thanks for tips!

paint correction fancy new term for good old cut & buff. like the use of sealant instead of carnuba though. that was best advice on video
Right on😎🔥

Thanks for the tip!
Which leaf mulcher do you use?
I use a 12 gallon shop vac for super dirty decks especially if they got tons of leaves. I also observed that you got into the boat with dirty shoes. That kind of messes up your work. I use shoe covers after every wash so I do not cross contaminate.
Cool cool! I get in and out the boat a lot ha
That’s why I do the floors at the end :)
Boat looks great, man. One question: wouldn't it have been easier to vacuum all of those leaves up before pressure washing?
Ya I had that same question. I would think getting all the loose debris out before introducing water would have been easier.
Yes but I’m lazy :)
@@DrakesDetailing I get that, I was just thinking it would have been less work because it seemed to splatter everywhere when you sprayed the leaves.
@@dcast777 takes to long to switch to vacuum haha
@@DrakesDetailing you admit you’re lazy on your business page? Great advertising!
You have no business being this good looking and hard working. Great video and I am using these tips to clean our boat

Hey Drake, nice video, very useful information and great work!!!

Thanks!
nice job! although i only use white towels to avoid staining vinyl. White towels and white boots

You can wash them like normal with alittle degreaser.
Use a shop vac to suck most water out, then let dry in the sun

I like igl ceramic for cars and boats
Drake's Detailing do you order directly from them or do you have a distributed you use?
I have a sales rep with igl. You’ll have to get approved before being able to buy!
Call Brian Mattingly with IGL Coatings USA.
703-955-1019.
Make sure you tell him Drake Robert sent you!
Drake's Detailing cool deal. Really appreciate it
Looks good. Do you 303 the vinyl after cleaning? I know the bleach can strip the vinyl and cause it to dry out and stain easier, but the 303 protects it and keeps it soft
Great video...I started my detailing business but never done a boat yet
Awesome! Glad I could help! Always feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions!
I've been using cleaner wax on my boat while cleaning it at the sandbar when I'm bored!! What would you recommend for that kind of cleaning. Only heavy clean twice a year. Otherwise boat sits on the dock all summer?? Also, what psi is your pressure washer. That wont damage the wiring on the engine bay or the wiring under the dash, or the seat stitching?? Thanks man
🤯🚀. Helped me out big time.
Awesome Video brother 👍I am also a Detailer who works on High End Boats and I am actually starting my own business to so I will be watching your videos for advice.
That's awesome! good luck!
@@DrakesDetailing thanks buddy 👍I live in Havasu city Arizona so I see lots of Boats so yeah easy money.
Love the videos like always! Where is the best place to get the 2 and 3in pads !
Hey Man! right here on my website! drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/ Thanks for watching!
Drake how about spraying the hydro blue over the whole boat when finished ? I use it on my boat it looks amazing!
That works too!
@@DrakesDetailing thanks!!
Great video, can you post more information on the products you use? Can I use All Purpose cleaner instead of bleach?
thank you, all purpose cleaner will work fine. All of the products I use are in the description section
Hey Drake thanks for all your advice and tips I am a new subscriber, with that being said have you did a video on pressure washing I’ve always thought that was bad on gelcoat and which tip did you use on pressure washer?
Bro ! You helped me a lot
Man I’ve truly learned a lot from you on keeping a boat clean. I do have a question for you what is your preferred nonskid works that’s easy to apply? I Definitely hit the subscribe button
Thank you so much!
Nice work, Drake. I’m detailing my first boat in a couple weeks so this is super helpful.
Awesome! Are you just staring a business? Or car guy getting into boats?
Drake's Detailing car guy getting into boats so the boat process is completely new to me. Please keep it up with the content. Thx!
Sweet! I used to be a car guy and now all I pretty much do are boats! I enjoy boats more and make way more money! Win win for me! Stay tuned! I try to post at least once a week!
Is there a video or page i can go
To to see about how to charge for boats? I do cars and theres alot of boats around me..
Love the videos and god bless you for the free information and great content
Thank you, I have a video on pricing ! czcams.com/video/oU8yRzaBVkM/video.html
Do you ever polish (aluminum) pontoons? Curious what your steps are in that case.
Thanks!
Thanks so much bro!! 🔥😎😎
Great work bro and great video what products did you use because I’ll will be doing my 1st boat in a couple weeks
All products I recommend and use are in the description
Sweet video. This is almost exactly my boat. Do you not wax the bottom of the boat? If so what do you do about the trailer supports?
The bottom is not part of my package that I sell people unless it is specifically requested.
In that Case I require it to get lifted at a ship yard! I used to have some lifts but it wasn’t practical to keep them around for Mobile jobs.
If they don’t want to get it lifted I’ll just do what I can reach and or get a crawler to get under the boat
A beacon if truth.
Hey man awesome video. What kind of vacuum cleaner did you use to suck up the water in the compartments?
Hey bro! Any kind of wet/dry shop vac will do
Any chance you can link (on Amazon) a heavy cutting pad you recommend? BTW, love the videos. Much thanks for the tips and tricks.
Amazon doesn’t really have good pads...
drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/products/7-5-x-1-5-buff-and-shine-grip-back-cutting-wool-pad?_pos=14&_sid=48a7ce073&_ss=r
Here is a good one on my website, it will typically get to you in the same time Amazon prime will and it’s free shipping
@@DrakesDetailing Thank you for the quick response. I appreciate it. Gonna do my 2003 SeaRay 185 w/ some light oxidation (similar to the Chaparral in your video although no leaves or crud inside). Planning on following you video!
Awesome! Let me know if you need anything
I would have tried using a blower to get the leaves out before wetting the boat! Seems like it would save a lot of time over using the power washer as a broom? 👍
I didn’t have a blower ha, i didn’t realize the boat had that much leaves in it. The customer didn’t tell me ha.
Plus, I had taken a ton of leaves out before recording... they were just everywhere
Drake's Detailing I hear ya. It was a lot of leaves😳 Good Vid👍
Great informative video. I’m a mobile detailer snd just got asked to do a boat and this video is on time. I have a maxshine DA POLISHER that should work right along with the foam pad you recommend. I feel if I do a good job i be in the market to do more where I live
Yes that da will work!
There is good money in boats!
Cystomer wants a buff and wax. The Jescar should cover that right. The outside isn’t too bad just old and dull looking. It’s the interior that needs work
Great job!!What would your solution of choice been I if it weren’t so bad.Chemical and dilution ratio
I’m a huge fan of purple power and super clean. I don’t really dilute them, because when I need them I generally need all the cleaning power I can get. You just need to be carful it does not sit in the surface too long
Dude I give you credit 👍👍👍👍👍
whats the safest product to use for cleaning up a boat at a slip? knowing its going to go back into the water
Ph balances sure like starke pure clean. For something heavier you can use dawn or simple green
I have this boat but the outboard version.Wish you could come to Jax and do mine, but your video will have to do. One question, did you PW/wash inside the consoles?
You definitely can, just be careful!
Nice job! But why didnt you shop vac the leaves out first?
Cuz I am lazy.. Thats a about it ha
I’m 3yrs late but 👍💪
Better late than neva!! 💯 thanks for watching!
Hey man great video next time to save a bit of time when leaves and junk are present shop vac them out then commence pressure wash may help with efficiency! Cheers!
Thanks for the tip!
