Didn't even know B&S made old school double sided wool pads! I've been using the expensive 3M for years. Can't go back to single sided now, double just has too many advantages. Buff & Shine make incredible products for how inexpensive they are, I use alot of their DA style pads. I mainly do standard base/clear correction but I've been doing a few RVs lately. Gelcoat is a whole different animal, you guys earn your money man! Do you have a video covering how you handle vinyl graphic decals? Some RVs have a LOT of them. It can turn an already long job into a tedious nightmare taping them all off or correcting half of a 30'+ RV with precision edge work around dozens of graphics. 😧

@keshoremooralie2376 2 года назад

👍 🎯On point ! LC Force Pads can no doubt work on the DA as well. If you have a 15mm or 21mm long throw you can also utilize the HDO pads as they have an additional layer of support on the backing face that enables the pads to last a bit longer .

Finally! Been looking for a channel that explains what to use where. What pad is best for boats and other surfaces. Thanks. Subbed and liked.

@DrakesDetailing Год назад

Thanks for the sub! It depends on what you are doing. If you want to cut some heavy oxidation with a rotary, then you’d want a 7inch presta wool heavy cutting pad, or if you are polishing with a forced rotation polisher then you would want a orange forced rotation pad

@dshap66 3 года назад

Thanks Drake. Another super helpful videos. How about care of the pads? How do you clean them and specifically on the foam pads, how often do you swap them out while working on a boat. Appreciate all your efforts!

She doesn't look too bad actually, but it's definitely time to do it (while she's out of the water). White hull, by the way, so I especially appreciated you recommending the orange pad for finishing out.

@mitchellmcallister3980 3 года назад

Great videos have learned so much from them all. I have a 1999 272 sailfish that i am looking forward to compounding and polishing come spring when the snow is gone up here in the north east. In your videos you use multiple different buffers during your system. A video on the differences between them would be great, my budget only allows me to buy 1 so if you could only have one buffer which one would you pick and what if any things i would need to be carful with...

@DrakesDetailing 3 года назад

Thank you! So, I get this question all of the time. If you have a 99 there is probably going to some fading or oxidation. For lower budges Id get a cheaper rotary and a ccheaper da. Harbor freight has decent machines for around $70 each. You really need the rotary to compound, and the da to wax and polish.

@thomasbryan1443 Год назад

@DrakesDetailing 2 года назад

Thanks bro! No just use the pads to apply and work in the compound and/or sealant, then just wipe off with a clean dry microfiber rag

@OuzoLouGarage 3 года назад

Thanks for making this video. We are used to detailing cars and not boats. Just bought a boat and it need a polish bad what would you recommend for a polish and a wax ?

@AustinDubya94 3 года назад

Hi Drake been watching all your videos and love the channel. My question for you is if I’m kind of understanding things. Do I first wash the boat to strip the wax, then dry, then hit it with an orange pad with a compound to hit the swirl marks and buff. Then use a microfiber pad to wax with a polymer sealant?

I have a white boat with a decent non-skid and gel coat. (No caulking or serious staining). I was thinking of cutting with the wool pad with compound. Then using polish and applying with the orange pad. Then spraying the seal on top of that like you spoke about in another video of yours. What are your thoughts on those steps?

I actually haven’t used the G21. The G9 is good for waxing and sanding. Anything more than that, you’ll want a flex 3401 or a rupes millie

Hi Drake. Thanks for another great video. You’re a good man for sharing your knowledge, especially for guys like me who are looking to move into marine from auto. Drake, you ‘re a big promoter of the Flex 3401, which is a great tool, but I’ve never heard you comment on the Flex 14-2 150 rotary, specifically its ability to match either the Mikita or Dewalt on gel coat. The Flex is 2 pounds lighter than the other two polishers and also has basically identical specs. Aside from price, why shouldn’t I buy the Flex. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this because I have a sneaking suspicion that you’ve put the Flex rotary to the test.

@DrakesDetailing 3 года назад

Thanks for watching! the flex rotary doesn't have to power that the makita has... on paper they are the same, but the flex kinda bogs down little, the makita does not.

@8516brian 3 года назад

@chrismatheson5851 2 года назад

Hi Drake! Thanks for the videos, love the energy. I have a 1 year old boat, dark blue with no corrections needed. I want to polish and ceramic coat it. I am assuming the white Lake Country pad with my DA would be the correct application for this? Also how many pads would you need for a 30' bowrider. Thanks you my friend!

@DrakesDetailing 2 года назад

Hey Bro! I would use some Starke Elevate with an orange lake country forced rotation pad on either a DA or a Forced rotation, that will polish it out really nice! They just seal her up with some Starke Hyperhold polymer sealant with a DA and either a microfiber pad, or a general black waxing pad😎 Also, If you want to expand your knowledge of boat detailing, I also have a live recorded boat detailing class available as well.

@td4519 3 года назад

Drake - all of your videos are very very very informative and helpful. What's your opinion on Jescar Power Lock Plus vs. Jescar Ultralock Plus. The Ultralock Plus states it has all of the properties of Powerlock Plus AND it also has SiO2. Have you used the Ultralock at all? Would you recommend using the Power Lock Plus or the Ultralock Plus on the entire hull from rub rail down to include the full bottom AND also inside on non skid floor? Lastly I haven't seen you apply any sealant or SiO2 to the bottom of boats below the water line. Should we not be concerned with sealing and protecting the bottom?

@DrakesDetailing 3 года назад

First off, I have personally switched to using starke hyperhold instead of Jescar! I find hyperhold works better for boats in salt water! Second, don’t worry about waxing underneath. It will only last a few weeksn

What could you recommend using to clean up and shine up with as few steps as possible but still get a lasting effect?

Another great and informative video from Drake. Here's an idea for another video similar to this. Lets say you want to start a detailing company with $1,000 or $1,500 (you could obviously set the amount for your videro). But let's say somebody is sticking their toes in the water of detailing, not just washing. Could you do a video on a start up budget and what products you would recommend within the budget?? I think it would be a great idea. You have gotten me so far in my side hustle and love all of your videos!

Even including budget compounds/waxes, and budget buffers, i think it could deff reach a new audience for you.

Thanks for the informative video. Question: What pad should I use on deck non-skid, the type that looks like it’s sprayed on and leaves a grit surface. I have a Griots machine and Menzerna 400. Boat is one season old and surface is off-white. I have some Griots orange pads but think the non-skid will tear them up. Just looking to get the deck shined up.

How many of each pad (wool, foam, & microfiber) would you recommend getting if you have a 32 foot long boat? (Luhrs flybridge sport fisher )

If I already bought a Flex VRG is the Griots Garage G9 needed in some instances? Just didn’t know if the VRG can easily replace the G9. Thanks

Drake, Great Video. How do I determine how much oxidation I have to cut? I have a 2010 38' white hull and topsides that have been neglected for a few years.

I’m going to go over that in my next video, should be out Friday!
