You should try one of these bonnets to remove the wax they work really well. Of course you have to go over with a towel later but you get up 90% of it with the machine.

I understand that thier are some detailers out there that assume they know everything you need to know because they simply have a KZitem channel..but I wish I could show you a truly filthy.."light a match and burn it" type of boat detail and have it look near as new as new can be..many boats come with ware n tare and it would be unrealistic to assume a detailer is going to wave a magic wand and fix damage parts and aesthetics that demand attention from other fabricators or boat specialists..We specialize in the care and look of any automobile..boat..motorcycle or airplane..doesn't matter..Quality..discipline..ethics and performance are key..I respect your business and the fact that your a detailer..because Detailing is NOT for sissies..PERIOD!..But I also have to be brutally honest and tell you that this video does show steps and how to's but when it comes to an absolutely dreadful boat that's brought back to a pearl..this DOES NOT show that..if youd like to see some REAL filthy boats and the after photos..or just simply see the work we do..thier are thousands of BEFORE & AFTER photos..from oxidation removal..engine detail..headlight restoration..Motorcycles..RV's..SUV's..Off road vehicles..boats..paint touch up..interior blast outside to paint correction and Pearl upon PEARL results..go Facebook and type in ALL PLATINUM MOBILE DETAILING..If anything..this vid inspires me to create my own channel and show some REAL grind! Dont get me wrong..we too do boats that simply need nothing more then a wash and wax..but I have yet to see ANYONE do a totally FUC$#D Boat and bring it back to a PEARL..if you wanna see what it looks like..you know where to go!

No, but I also am smart about using it. I just use it for the light agitation of the seats. I don’t sit there and grind with it per minute on end. That’s where you can do some real damage- I also don’t use them seats all the time which helps the longevity. Another important part is making sure you rehydrate the seat afterwards with some good protectant so that they don’t dry and crack

Love the videos to start. Thank you for putting in the time to share! I'm a bit confused about something. You seal/protect the deck area, wipe it down and then you clean the floors? With a degreaser which potentially breaks down the sealant you just applied? Not hating on you. On the contrary. I've been detailing for about 10 years and now soon, I'll be taking on a few boats which I've only done a couple of quick washes on. I'm using your videos as my knowledge base. But that washing the floor after protection didn't make sense to me. Am I missing something here? Thanks again! Keep glossin'
@DrakesDetailing

So On this job, I didn’t apply any sealant to the floors. That’s probably were the confusion is, the customer didn’t want me todo anything on the flooring besides clean it. It’s a fishing boat and they use heavy deck brushes to clean... I did apply sealant to the non skid on the tow rail, but I did not do the floors. If I would have been doing the floors, you would clean with degreaser, dry it , then apply sealant.

Great job and killer information. I've been non-stop watching your videos for about a week now and I'm loving getting all the information, I do have a question that is probably redundant but my question is you washed waxed everything on the boat inside now and then you clean the floor after you wax the inside so what do you do when you're spraying it off you just rehand dry everything and you can hand dry the wax already too? I'm sure it's probably a stupid question but just want to be clear. Also when you're doing a wash and wax on a boat's on a trailer do you wax from the water line down underneath the boat as well or you just go to the water line and then just clean underneath the water line?

In order for me to detail, I require to have the boat moved close to a shore water hook up.

GREAT video! I’m picking up a boat this week and it needs some TLC. I’m excited to dig in. I read in one of the other comments that you didn’t wax or seal this floor. If you were to do that, what would you use for the floor after the purple power. Also, is it worth it to use the sealant and a wax on the hull? I’ve been watching your videos for the past hour, awesome! Subscribed and liked!

Any time you wax or seal the floors it will make it alittle slippery, but I would recommend after purple power to spray Mckees 37 hydro blue on the floors. Just spray on, rinse off and dry. You can find it in my products video, I talk about it. As for the hull, it’s always the best option to seal it with jescar power lock, it will just wear off very quickly because it’s under the water line... especially in salt water, if you are in freshwater it will last a little longer

Drake's Detailing do you wax it AND seal it? If so, what goes first and what wax do you recommend on the outside of the boat?
@DrakesDetailing
4 жыл бұрын
You can do both! If you were todo both, the jescar power lock ( sealant ) would go on first! Then you can wax on top of the jescar! I don’t ever use wax, a lot of the times if I say wax I’m talking about jescar power lock, it’s a bad habit that I have. Most people only know wax, so that’s why I say it. Best case for a boat in my opinion would be to apply 2 coats of jescar power lock, and top it with mckees 37 hydro blue! Mckees 37 is an Si02 ceramic spray.

No, you’ll need a makita rotary and wool pads to remove the oxidation. The griots is good or light polishing, waxing and sanding

I see you use the buff and shine microfiber with the Jescar sealant. Do you recommend this over a black foam pad because its gel coat. I'm assuming a foam pad will not work the sealant in as well and help polish the boat. Thanks and I recently subscribed yesterday and look forward to watching more videos. I'm looking to expand my auto detailing business to include boats since I'm in Florida.

You’ll make great money doing boats! I started out only doing cars now all I do are boats! The reason I use microfiber is the fact that they are very thin, it doesn’t waste a ton of product by getting soaked into the pad, that’s pretty much the only reason. You can wax with foam but use a polish pad or a med cut pad. The black foam is way to soft for gel coat.

So many of my boats have snap in mats. So, I always have that extra step. I found a lot of these mats are breaking down. It is such a mess. I’m not sure if it’s from them getting wet or if someone isn’t rinsing them properly. W

Hey Drake, I'm currently working on a restoration on a 2008 Robalo r260. There are a lot small rust stains embedded into the non skid deck. What do you recommend to completey remove them? I'm applying a ceramic coating to the hull and tow rail. Do you recommend applying a ceramic coating to the non skid on the floors and the lids to the compartments or applying Jescar power lock sealant instead? The robalo will be spend at least 5 months of the year in the Gulf of Mexico.
@DrakesDetailing

Rust aid should take the rust spots out. Ceramic coating on floors by itself will last about 3 to 5 months, but if you keep it topped off with Mckees 37 hydro pearl it will make it last a lot longer! Ceramic is usually the best option, But to coat non skid takes a lot of coating, usually takes about double the product! So make sure you budget that in. Also, What coating brand are you using?

You should be able to seal your boat about 4 times or more with that 16 oz bottle
