- Super yachts are covered in stainless steel, and one of your yacht crew duties will be to ensure that it's always looking clean and shiny. In this video, I demonstrate some of the best practices to follow, and show you exactly which products you can expect to be working with.
0:00 Introduction
01:28 DRY Autosol Polish
05:30 WET Star Clean Metal Polish
08:34 Collinite 845 Insulator Wax
13:10 Summary
This is one of the easiest superyacht deckhand duties, and it's therefore often given to day workers and new crew. Once you've proven that you know how to polish stainless steel on a boat, you'll soon be trusted with some of the more challenging tasks on deck.

Work on a superyacht, move up through the ranks, and maximise YOUR potential!
This task is all about paying attention to the details, and keeping everything clean. Prove yourself here, and you'll soon be able to move onto something more challenging!
I love SIMICHROME polish from Germany 🇩🇪!
Matthew, I would bet that you and I have always squeezed our toothpaste from the bottom up? I have always gotten triggered by messy squeeze tubes!
Hi, How often to apply wax as finishing?
1. Witty and engaging. 2. TALENTED videographer. 3. Master storyteller. Why I just spent 13 minutes watching you polish stainless steel.
It's really kind of you to leave all these great comments. Thank you, Ralph.
Everyone with a boat should follow this channel
I never imagined that the channel would appeal to so many people! Thank you, Chaetagnath Underhill.
That's one of our jobs this week. Every rail, cleat and fitting can be quite relaxing when your under no time pressure.
Yes, it's a very satisfying job. How did you get on?
@@WorkonaSuperyacht we got it done Matt but not so relaxing as we had some hellish wind at weekend.
Happy Birthday MAtthew!! Wish you all the best and keep doing great in your career!

Nice Sunday for a new video about the yachting industry. Like (Y)
Happy birthday! :)
Thank you, Remus! 😊
Happy Birthday, Matthew, hope your crew mates celebrate your birthday and maybe they throw in a gift or joke your way.
As always great demonstration, your deckhand must enjoy seeing you doing his job when creating these videos!
Thank you, Frank. This year they bought me a better camera tripod, which was very kind. I shall be putting it to good use this week!
wow is like brand new.good joob.
Owww, very nice tips, like always)
Thank you, Caio. I'm glad you liked it! 😊
Another informative and Very well done tutorial ‼️. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU 🎉🎂🎈🥳
Thank you, Greg. 😊
Happy birthday. I'll bet a pint that this will work just as well on my 23" "yacht" ;-D Thanks for a super video.
Oh yes, this should have your "yacht" looking clean and shiny in no time! Thank you for the birthday wishes 😊.
Next level: Cleaning the inside of the bell. ;-) Happy Birthday in advance, Matthew. You are the best!
I just saw a documentary/like movie with a Heesen yacht, and they filmed a lot of shiny stainless steel, including the bell. However, filmed from an angle so you could see the bottom rim. which looked like it had not been getting any attention at all.
Thanks Hein! The inside of the bell would be a much bigger challenge!
@Tingeling The inside of the bell sometimes isn't finished to the same standard as the outside. It would therefore need to be machine polished before these polishing pastes could be used.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht That would be literally a "rough" job ...
Thank you sooo much !!
My pleasure! Thank you for commenting.
In contrast to others who can't even work properly, you are creating great video tutorials. Thank you very much thatfor. 🥇
Did I understand correctly, from Thursday there will be two videos a week? 🤗
All the best, a lot of health, that your work never gets boring and in particular, always a hand's breadth of water under the keel. ⛵
👍👍👍
Thank you, Daniel. I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I'd be doing two videos per week, but for now I'll continue with just one.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht

Hello a052, and thank you for letting me know! I'll try it out next time I have a tube on board.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht great ! Waiting for your feedback then !
Happy Birthday Mate
Thank you, Gemini Bear.
Happy 34th Birthday, Matthew! I bet that it was wonderful and that your vegan cake was the best tasting cake that you’ve ever eaten!
Thank you, Mitchell. The chef did a great job with the cake!
@@WorkonaSuperyacht It shows how much you are liked and respected when they go out of their way to do things for you.
Wishing you a very happy birthday 🎂.
Thank you, Barbara. 😊
I use autosol polish as well, but use with feltro pads!! Try it, it really works well on inox
Hello Ricardo, and thank you for this suggestion. I'll have a look for some next time I'm out shopping.
I have not seen the Collinite brand since I was in High School and that was a long time ago!
I'd never heard of it before joining the yachting industry, but they've got a good marine range and are stocked in lots of ship chandlers.
It’s obviously a great product, because all that I can see is perfection in your industry.
if you estimate, how long would it take to get onboard on a superyacht in New Zealand? Auckland by the way.
Hello ! Thank you very much for your videos ! I'm just start my superyacht career. My yacht has black color, can you give me advice hot to clean her without stains and streaks ? Thank your in advance !
Hello Женя, and thank you for commenting. Dark paint colours are always difficult to maintain. Here are a few tips that I find useful:
1. After washing, dry as much as you can. Start with a water blade and chamois, then use a chamois mop on a long pole for areas that you can't reach.
2. If possible, don't wash or rinse the yacht when the surfaces are hot. If you do need to wash in the heat, only wash small sections at a time, and make sure that you rinse thoroughly.
3. A lot of the streaks come from mineral deposits in the water. Water straight from the dock can be very hard, so try and use water that has been passed through a filter and/or softener.
I hope that helps.
5:23 although you probably shot & edited this before it was published on Sunday 5/16/21, the following Thursday is 5/20/21 which is not only your birthday but mine as well‼️ Happy (b)Earth-day! 🎂🎁🎉🥳 = ♉️♊️ Cusp
Thanks, Samuel! You're right that I filmed this a little earlier, and my birthday is actually on 13th May. Nevertheless, I wish you an extremely belated Happy Birthday for the 20th!
Would you please write down for me the kit? It is my first time on this task and I want to do properly. 🙏⛵🌊
I wish you a very happy birthday.¨🍰🍰🍰👍👍👍👍
Hello Rudi, and thank you for the birthday wishes!
How often would you do this on a yacht?
Keeping rope surfaces like drums and cleats bare and grippy seems to be universal for all sectors of the industry
Love that attitude with polishing stainless but "it's chamois down what turns me on"!
I love that, Robi!
Haha, chamois is always No.1!
What's the purpose of that bell? Do you ever use it or it's just for aesthetics
Great question! It’s used for sound signalling in restricted visibility whilst at anchor. Here is an excerpt from Rule 35 of the Collision Regulations:
A vessel at anchor shall at intervals of not more than one minute ring the bell rapidly for about 5 seconds. In a vessel of 100 metres or more in length the bell shall be sounded in the forepart of the vessel and immediately after the ringing of the bell the gong shall be sounded rapidly for about 5 seconds in the after part of the vessel. A vessel at anchor may in addition sound three blasts in succession, namely one short, one prolonged and one short blast, to give warning of her position and of the possibility of collision to an approaching vessel.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht thanks for the reply. I'm now well educated. Thank you
Bro, just some paper towel and spit shine that in two minutes; thus giving you more time to party with the neighbours and dancing to ace of base music. Also, tell the neighbours to update the playlist.
Ace of Base is a great choice! Favourite track: The Sign.
so, was the (vegan) cake a lie after all? I am now over educated in the field of stainless steel polishing. thank you.
