@@DrakesDetailing drake I had a question, what vacuum did you use for the water? Also is it better to pressure wash the leaves or can you use a vacuum and do it? I visited florida for the first time in my life and after a fishing trip I helped a friend clean a boat. And I though about maybe trying to start my own detailing boat business. So watching your videos will really help me with that. Thanks a lot. I’ll definitely be asking for more advice in the future 😂. Keep up the good work. It really helps me and your viewers as well.

I've been doing Professional Automotive Detailing for about a year and am moving from AZ to a place where there is tons of boats. I figured why not try to work on some boats I bet I could make some money. Also I was thinking you should vacuum the interior first that way all those leaves that are soiled don't fly around to areas that you may have already cleaned. Great content! Looking forward tot seeing more of your videos.

For rust marks and brown stain from the water line down I used to cross the US border at Sumas Washington to pick up a product called Barkeepers Friend. It’s a powder that comes in a can like Ajax’s or comet cleanser. Make a paste on your smaller brush lather it up let it soak for a few minutes use your brush or rag to wipe it off. It’s an amazing product. $5.00 up in Canada now.

@@DrakesDetailing Thank you for the quick response. I appreciate it. Gonna do my 2003 SeaRay 185 w/ some light oxidation (similar to the Chaparral in your video although no leaves or crud inside). Planning on following you video!

I just connect to wherever there’s the closest water, Spicket, whether it’s the customers house or Marina. I always require the boat being moved to an adequate water source for me to complete my job.
Hey Drake thanks for all your advice and tips I am a new subscriber, with that being said have you did a video on pressure washing I’ve always thought that was bad on gelcoat and which tip did you use on pressure washer?
What do you use Woody Wax for? What do you use for polishing pitted metal?

Woody wax is only a metal wax, just to protect metal. If it’s pitted you’ll need todo heavy cutting with rouge bars... it’s a pain
Bro you doing good,I’m also a mobile Detailer,I do mostly vehicles and RVS,I do boats occasionally even leaving a mile from the ocean,recently I start doing a boat in the water(dock) wich can add a little challenge to the job😂that’s why I come across your video looking for a chemical that can get mold and that green stuff that’s grows on boats,(algae),when you said purple power and bleach,do you mix both together??

No, don’t mix bleach and purple pose together. Just use some purple power with a magic eraser, and make sure you wash the purple power residue off afterwards so it does not harm the vinyl.

Love the videos. I'm tackling a Seadoo Islandia with substantial oxidation. Trying not to wetsand. What is your advice on large decals? I'm assuming the rotary polisher and compound would hurt them. My decals are not in great shape.

Yes, the compound and rotary can hurt them, you want to be careful going around then
Great informative video. I’m a mobile detailer snd just got asked to do a boat and this video is on time. I have a maxshine DA POLISHER that should work right along with the foam pad you recommend. I feel if I do a good job i be in the market to do more where I live

Cystomer wants a buff and wax. The Jescar should cover that right. The outside isn’t too bad just old and dull looking. It’s the interior that needs work
