Very informational as usual , want to see a wet sand or dry sanding this style next , great work 👍🏼
Great suggestion! Thanks!
Hey drake one video I never see detailers make is how to tackle everything above the rub rail. Getting nice 2x2 sections on the hull is easy but how about the infinite number of tiny awkward areas on the top half?
Hey there, if you take a look at my channel. I have plenty and plenty of videos, explaining and demonstrating how to do full details on top side, halls, cockpits, nonskid, etc..
Good job making it shine. I liked the format, explanation of what you're seeing and tips on how to correct. Dressing the wooly pads in between buffing was a great tip for me to use.
Glad it was helpful! 😎
Very well explained. I have spent the last 3 days going over my starboard hull 4 times. Today, I felt like I got it right, and after watching you, I feel even better about it. Wish I had seen this video 4 days ago. It would have saved me a lot of work. I also just buffed my stainless. It looked amazing. Thank you for this video!!!
Glad it helped! Would you mind doing a 30 second to 1 minute video explaining how my video has helped you? Can can send it in to my Instagram @drakes.detailing, or on my Facebook.
If not, no worries. Thanks!
Super helpful video. Thank you so much for putting this up.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! one of your best! Very informative learned new tricks! Next great video I like to see id wet sanding the proper way! Happy Holidays!
Glad you liked the video: here’s a tutorial I did on wets sanding: m.czcams.com/video/Woos7JTcX6w/video.html
Thanks for another great video I couldn’t help to notice you had some stackable tool boxes I’m trying to get more organized would love to see how you have it organized thanks
Glad it was helpful! It always pays to stay organized😎🔥
Excellent job as always - regardless of how you modify your videos, they are always informative!
Thank you very much!
Love the tips ! great job as always
Glad you like them!
Get an air gun & compressor to blow the pads out after each pass. Game changer brotha 💪🏻
Thanks for the tip 😎
not really an option at marina's where you are away from your vehicle and dont have a choice for an air gun
The boat looks amazing, love the videos Drake 👍😁
Thanks 👍
This video is awesome! Well done, thank you.
👍🏻🔥🔥💯
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
MY MAN!!! KEEP SHARING!!!
Thanks bro!!😎
Love the new format. I was compounding my center console a couple days ago right before Christmas. I keep thinking what did Drake say about this? Do I apply medium pressure, do I hold the pad flat or do I angle it a bit to cut when using Heavy cut (your past product Level R) I bought it when you were still using it. Anyway, I do still have a lot of pad wobble where it gets a bit out of control. I still practicing to operate my Makita better. I have a lot of trouble when I do the second step with a medium cut where I run the machine any faster than 1200rpm. Practice practice. But thank you, you are a great teacher and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thanks so much for following along! While heavy cutting with your Makita, have the pad angled a little bit. While polishing with a DA or forced rotation, always have the pad flat.
Great video, thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Great info as always !
Thank you!!
Great video (as always) and very informative. I was wondering if you continued to use that same pad on the other side or when do know it's time to switch/flip the pad? Thanks
Hey bro! I flip the sides of the pad when it becomes caked with compound. When both sides become caked I switch it out and wash them 😎
Hey Drake, what pad are you using for final wax?
There’s a couple different ways you can go with wax pads - you can do a microfiber pad, a black foam pad, or a white Lake country force rotation pad.
Hi Drake- I have a Casita fiberglass RV with some oxidation. Can I just use chop top and a yellow wool pad as a one step process to clean it up a little? Thanks
You can, it depends on how much oxidation it has. If you’re just looking to spiff it up, I’d do chop top followed by wake up on a foam pads. Then seal it.
How are you liking the Maxshine M1300 compared to the Makita?
The makita is a better machine, like a Ferrari is better than a Toyota… both will get the job done the maxshine will do it in half the price. Hope this helps!
Hey Drake! Awsome video again! I’ve learned from you to change speed between your passes… (side to side = 900 rpm, up down, 1500 rpm and finally side to side at 2000…) do you still do this or run always at 1700 rpm?
Thanks again my friend!
Max from Québec, Canada 🤙
Hey bro, yes, I absolutely still do it! Really, every gelcoat is different, so I keep it continuous RPMs for every single step, depending on what I am trying to achieve. if it’s a diminishing compound, the faster you need to go as you finish your passes to make it shine at the end.
Hey brother. We use Ardex 600 for my heavy compound with yellow wool. Other than chop top would you recommend anything else?
I’d recommend shine supply heavy cut, that’s their heaviest compound. shinesupply.com/collections/marine-products/boat
Find it here at their marine webpage.

One more quick question.. after you are done with the buffing step with the rotary polisher can you use the same machine for the wax and polish step or…do you need another machine? DA?
I would not, just use either ADA, or a forced rotation polisher as they remove swirls. If you were trying to buff in sealant with a rotary buffer, all it will do is make swirl marks and mess up the work that you did.
Very good video
Thank you!! 💯
Hi Drake, nice video like always ! Do you have other products (compound, polish) to recommand if Shine Supply is not available in my region ? Meguiars, 3M, Jescar ? Thanks
Hey bro! Try Menzerna, I believe they are global and they make some really good products
Drake I value your opinion most what machine should I get the rupes or flex forced rotation I can’t decide.. Thanks you know what’s best!!
Rupes mille, hands down 😎
Will the yellow wool with chop top still leavy holograms? Or do you finishbout with DA?
Yes, it will still leave some holograms. You need some sort of DA or forced rotation polisher to remove them.
That sounds like the least efficient way to buff a hull with two people… each take a side and let her rip… the up down on that boat wouldn’t even be that bad… constantly working on 60-80’ yachts up here in Lake Michigan all winter long. Up down, up down, up down. Also recommend starting in the bow, way harder in the shoulders, easier to finish in the stern where it small, flat, and not overhanging your head. Keep on buffin 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks for the comment! 💯💯
Why do you need 2 machines to detail a boat? Thank you for the videos. Looking to buy just one premium tool. Is that possible or do you need 2?
Me personally, I’d get a rotary buffer, then a forced rotation machine. The rotary buffer will help you remove the oxidation, and the force rotation polisher will pull the swirl, marks out and finish off the surface. You can even seal with a force rotation buffer.
Thanks. Just put in an order with shine products..chop top, wake up and punch it for my 24 navy blue Scout. Thanks for your discount.
Drake I'm having trouble finding insurance that will cover boat detailing in Massachusetts any recommendations?
Hey bro, try State Farm
What kind of light is that correction light?
Essentially, yes, it just helps to see swirl marks better
Could that boat ready for wax after this step? Or is a 3rd polish step required
It all really depends on what the customers paying for in the state of the gelcoat.
I would wear a mask so that you don't inhale all the wool particles from the pad and the compound. That inhaling all that can lead to lung cancer later in life. My uncle used to polish boata and cara and now has lung damage and developed lung cancer but he pulled through. He now needs oxygen daily
Thanks for the concern, I appreciate it! I do wear respirator sometimes, but not as much as I should.
Professional detailers dont wear watches when detailing due to the risk of scratching
Thanks for the insightful information my friend! 💯
Drake is not professional; he's an expert. Experts can wear watches without scratching.
@shinesupply ayyyyyy! 💯🤟
