I love that you explain on a base level. Stuff like "put 4 dots on the pad" and "start on 2 and then go to 4 when doing the pattern". That stuff really helps getting a grip on things for a newbie. Thanks a heap mate! /Robert in Sweden

That rust remover has been my go to for over 10yrs. The biggest thing is that it removes the staining from tannic acid you get from river water, not just rust staining. Just needs to be applied with a good mist so you get coverage

I'm a Private boat owner who enjoy your vids! It would be great to have a spread sheet type video of sorts that showed the different steps for Gelcoat in various conditions - little or no oxidation, light oxidation, heavy oxidation, perhaps for both white and colored finishes. Perhaps it could include the various products and equipment as well as recommendations for maintenance. I have a relatively new boat w/little or no oxidation and i'm overwhelmed by different approaches and since it's a rather large sailing catamaran w/expanses of gelcoat, I don't want to waste my time w/incorrect or unnecessary steps.

@DrakesDetailing 2 года назад

Hey Tracey! Scroll though the videos on my RU-vid channel home page and there are tons of different levels of gel coat conditions I work on and restore. There’s too many of them to link here, so here’s my RU-vid channel home page. Thanks for watching! m.ru-vid.comvideos

Thank you ! ... love your video because you're not trying to flog some miracle product that'll last for years and requires no effort to put on... Ive been waxing boats for over 15 years and there's no substitute for good surface prep, machine application and then hand wipe off ... I leave my wax to dry over night which is probably not necessary - but it would be interesting to know just how long it takes for the wax to totally harden ? ...guess it depends on temp, humid , brand etc .. anyway - thumbs-up from Australia mate !!

Great Videos Drake! It has has even turned into must watch tv with my kids haha. I have a 2022 wake boat and i recently just purchased a Griots G9 orbital with the Uro Microfibre pads and the Jescar Power Lock plus. Is this what you would recommend for a first timer; or should i go with a different pad or product?

@DrakesDetailing 2 месяца назад

Hey bro! Thanks so much for the awesome support! That’s a great start! If there’s any oxidation you’ll need to get it out with compound or polish to remover the oxidation or any swirls, then do your Jescar. But, if there’s no oxidation then you are right on track!

Great video. Quick question, I just bought a bought that sat for a year plus. Has a 12" red strip down the side that is faded. I followed your video, but the red is still a bit faded (white). It does seem to look better, but as it dries out, it gets white(ish) again. Is there a solution to make that red look new again? Repeat the steps until it looks good, or is there another step or product? Thanks!

@DrakesDetailing Год назад

Hey bro! So just “waxing” your boat alone will not help get rid of oxidation. To remove the oxidation, here’s the video you’d want to watch 😎m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u2IQoU8Vjrw.html

@LukeNetzel Месяц назад

Hey man, love the videos! How do you brake up pricing if the customer only wants rub rail up? I charge $25ft for a wash and sealant. What should I charge for a wash and sealant on rubrail up?

@DrakesDetailing Месяц назад

If it were me, I would be doing around $20-$25 per foot, per step for the top side, and then the same pricing structure rub rail down. If they want rub rail up, rub rail down done, I would meet in the middle of those two prices combined.

@DrakesDetailing 2 года назад

Hey Peter! Try a small spot with some diluted bleach on the rub rail, be carful, if you accidentally get it on your gel coat and don’t wipe it off right away it can scar it! But see how that works!

@markgray2931 2 года назад

Great video, your detailed explanation really helps. I see Jescar has come out with Ultra Lock+ ceramic polymer. I assume this is even better for my boat and truck finishes?

I’ve got a boat that has a chalky white finish with heavy oxidation would this waxing method work for a basic wash and wax always enjoy your videos best of luck in your new business take care and God bless

@DrakesDetailing 11 месяцев назад

Hey bro! Unfortunately what you are describing is too far gone to do this waxing method I am doing in this video. You’ll need to compound (wetsand first if it’s really bad) polish, swirl remove and seal to. That’s just speculation based on what you have told me. Could need more, and could also need less.

@brentkommes5701 Год назад

I just discovered your videos and now I’m hooked. I have a 2017 chaparral that is black. I bought it new and I’ve been polishing/waxing each season to maintain its gloss. One thing I struggle with is proper order of doing things. Where I’m located we have. Wry hard water. If I strip the wax using dawn dish soap and attempt to rinse and dry, I seem to always get water spots. Should my next stop be to polish the boat which will remove water spots, and then wax. I just bought a griot orbital polisher and don’t mind putting in the time to make it look the best that I can as a diy person. Thanks

@DrakesDetailing Год назад

You can use a water spot remover, and that won’t strip your wax, but dawn definitely will! Use a water stop remover, and then wash

After watching your vids it seems that this will leave swirls and I will have to follow it up with another compound before final waxing if I'm not mistaken. Its a extra heavy cut. What product do I follow up with? 3M Finesse It II ?

@anthonyjerome3782 2 года назад

Your videos are fantastic man! Thanks for putting in the work. How do I know when I need to polish my boat first? The gelcoat looks/feels pretty smooth (color painted), no oxidizing, pretty new boat, indoor kept 2019. I only see videos about compounding/restoring which polishing is a given. Thanks!

@DrakesDetailing 2 года назад

Thanks for your kind words! Run your fingernails over your gelcoat, the chalkier it feels then heavier you need to go with compounding. If it’s not bad at all, a quick polish and seal and it’ll be good to go 😎

@DrakesDetailing 6 месяцев назад

Hey bro! It all depends on the condition of the gel coat whether it needs to be compounded or not. If there is a chalky field to the gel coat and you can scratch it with your nails, and it feels like a chalkboard, then you need to heavy, cut to remove the oxidation. if there’s no oxidation just holograms, then just polish, then seal.

Doing it myself, and I want to be thorough and most importantly, efficient (without cutting necessary corners to save time)

@DrakesDetailing 2 года назад

Hey bro! I’d try shine supply’s line of compounds, start with their heavy cut and move down the line of compounds and polishes based off of their compound charts on their website. If the heavy cut shine supply is not cutting though all of the oxidation, then it more than likely needs wet sanded. cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0645/8097/files/compounds.pdf?v=1646261121

question for you , i have a formula 40 with imron paint -- has some scratches in it .. what can i use before ultra lock plus to take out those scratches ( maybe a compound & polish -like Turtle Wax 53478 Hybrid Solutions Pro 1 and Done Compound Correct and Finish ) also do you like power lock or ultra lock plus

M8S over G9? which do you like more & why?? Thanks! Great stuff!

@DrakesDetailing 2 года назад

Hi there! I personally like the M8S better! It’s got a little more power then the Griots.

Great video! I watch a lot I your stuff.... I live in Canada and boating season starts in a couple of months and I picked up at the end of last season a Yamaha 2015 242 limited S and the hull is back... completely black!!! I’m running in fresh water so once a year I have to clean the hull.... on my old boat it was white this one like I said solid black! What product do you recommend to get rid of staining on a fully black hull without damaging it? I hope to hear from you soon... if you have any suggestions I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance

@DrakesDetailing 3 года назад

We use a product in the states called rust aid. I don't know if you can get that in Canada though..

@timames4581 3 года назад

Would you use the poly sealant followed by a wax in freshwater, or just the poly ? Thanks

@DrakesDetailing 3 года назад

Sealant followed with sio2 coating. Use starke replenish

@roderickburke700 2 года назад

Hey Drake. awesome video. Do you seal the bottom of the hull of the boat, which is hard to get to with the boat on a trailer, or do you just seal as much of the bottom as you can reach?

@DrakesDetailing 2 года назад

Hey man! Not on this particular job, but some customers do want that done!

@@DrakesDetailing How do you get to the bottom of the hull to seal it if its on a trailer?

@roderickburke700 2 года назад

@marcanderson695 3 года назад

I use my boat only in freshwater and its kept covered out of the water when not in use (so bottom is not painted as there is no need). What is your opinion on using a polymer sealant or ceramic coat on the running surfaces of the boat? Do you recommend? If so, how often and with what product? Thanks for all your videos - very very helpful!!!

@DrakesDetailing 3 года назад

Under the water line in fresh water you'll get a solid year out of ceramic, thats personally what I would use

Bro you just put some cash in my pocket. I literally get the west marine hull cleaner to strip those rust stains. It works great, so I just keep spending the 30 bucks. I'll try your rust aid acid this spring. Thanks dude

@flylikechris did you try it out if so how did it work

@chrisa2934 Год назад

Why in the RV video do you say to use a lambswool padded brush instead of a soft bristle brush so that it doesn't damage the gelcoat, but here you're using a soft bristle brush on a boat's gelcoat? Also, I notice you use Jescar PowerPoint for both boat's and RVs. I just bought some because of your recommendation. But because you use it for RVs too it makes me wonder: is it technically a marine sealant? Thanks for the channel by the way. I've learned a lot!

@DrakesDetailing Год назад

Use the softest brush you have, also Jescar is a paint sealant it’s not technically a marine product.

@chrisa2934 Год назад

@@DrakesDetailing I'm confused. Even though it's not technically a marine product, Jescar Powerlock Plus will still work for boats though, right? I have a boat job coming up in 2 days and I bought exactly the things you recommended in this video (also got a Maxshine M8), so I'm trying to make sure asap if that will be ok or not. Thanks in advance.

@wdawson 3 года назад

Thanks again for the vids Drake. So much good info, tips and tricks. Question for ya. I noticed you let the sealant dry in direct sunlight. Is that something you can do specifically with Jescar or is it just the nature of mobile detailing for boats? Is there anything someone should lookout for when letting sealant/wax dry in direct sunlight?

@DrakesDetailing 3 года назад

Not all sealants can be used in direct sunlight! I have never had an issue with jester power lock! Do a thin layer don't apply to much or it will be a pain to wipe off!

I don’t unfortunately- if it’s black and full of compound and stuff like that, some acetone will clean that up.

Enjoy the videos. Just a boat owner that would like to take care of my boat and not waste time and money doing the wrong thing. So I have a question. After a day of saltwater fishing I have been rinsing my boat then spraying it down with Starbrite Deck Cleaner and letting it sit for several minutes. It really seems to loosen the bait that got smushed into the non-skid and the dried on blood and guts. It that cleaner one of those that will strip the wax off my boat? If so, what's your way of getting this job done?

@DrakesDetailing 3 года назад

Yes it will take your wax off, more heavy cleaners will. Keeping your boat waxed or ceramic coated will stop things from sticking to it.

@bobfarrell3444 3 года назад

@@DrakesDetailing Thanks again for your prompt reply. So if I'm getting this right, you're saying keep the boat waxed and it's easier to remove the blood, fish parts, ground in and dried bait on the non-skid. Then at the end of the day wash with a wash/wax product so as not to remove the wax. Right? And the only time I use the Deck Cleaner or Dawn or similar is when I'm ready to wax the boat again? Does the Starbrite Hull Cleaner I've been using to remove the hull stain or the Rustaide you mention in your videos, does that also remove wax from the hull?

@growlith6969 3 года назад

I've been wondering what a good wash and wax would be that I could buy so I jumped to look up the Orpine.......but........it smells like pine. I don't want my boat to smell like pine. Any other suggestions?

@stevenfinely5093 2 года назад

Just watched your video. My boat is 4 years old and I’ve only compounded spots where the dock marked it up. Do I have to compound the hull first or can I just do what your doing in the video?

@DrakesDetailing 2 года назад

It depends, is the hull oxidized?

@stevenfinely5093 2 года назад

@@DrakesDetailing thanks for getting back. Its not oxidized just seemed a bit dull. Appreciate all the videos and have been sending them to various groups and friends!!
