Glad I subscribed. It looks like you treat every single boat like it's your own and you're about to take it to a show. Very nice work!
Love watching this guy. I learn something every single time on any of the videos. Bro you’re a king with this shit, thanks for your abilities and for posting
Thanks so much for you kind words!!😎🔥
Love your videos man.... literally all of them. Keep up the great work. Ordered a few products from you last week for my Sea Ray 270 SLX!
Thank you for your order!!
Great b roll. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you!!
Drake hey brother thanks for your time you explained it very well in detail and make it very easy to understand thank you so much for your time and your videos
Glad it helped!
Great video! Thanks
Thank you!!
Respect!!! Great and beautiful job 👏
Thanks! ❤️💯💯
Super awesome video thank you so much
Thanks!
That’s nice! Maybe some day I’ll get to try it. Not until I know I can get the surface of my boats perfect.
Yes! You definitely want to make sure it’s perfect before you coat 😊
Good stuff my guy. Nothing better than making money on your on time. Cheers to all the self made entrepreneurs out there. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks bro! Cheers indeed 😎
when you say non skid are you talking about the ruff kinda of floor or the diamond pattern floor? and can you put the ceramic coating on the ruff kind of floor in a boat?
Great video.
Thank you!!
I am great fan of ur work mate
Thanks!
Hey bro. What's happening! Wicked video...again!🤟 Question. When you say that the oxidation layer has to be pretty much gone, how do you tell when your prepping? Cheers man🤟
Starting my journey to remove oxidation on my 2013 deck boat. What I've done hasn't worked in the past. Initially it looks good but that dreaded oxidation reappears. I need to use your 1000 grit wet sanding pads in prior videos. The ceramic application is new to me. FYI: I know store my boat in a garage when I'm not at my lake house. Thanks so much for your content.
Hey bro! So glad you find my videos helpful!
Softscrub on the rust spots. Put some on a drill brush. Works amazing. Especially on nonskid.
Good tip!
What would be a solid estimate for a topside for the job u just did on a 38’ center console with brand new paint just micro polish and coating just curious
Lots o work!
You ain’t lying!
Why would u dawn wash post polish the dawn is acidic and can cause gelcoat re oxidizing? Wouldn’t u dawn wash pre gel coat correction? Just curious
You just gained a subscriber
Thank you!!
Your videos are all great and I dont think I have ever seen a TH-camr that has 0 dislikes on the majority of their videos.
Thanks!!
Videos and TH-cam channel coming soon for the boat restorations. Idk if you remember us talking but you can look me up on Facebook at Hull Healers Boat Works and Restoration for a few pics/videos.
Awesome! Let me know when you go live!
Shot out to you Drake from Southern California
🔥🔥😎
Drake I’ve been following you for a while. Your videos have given me the confidence to get out there and really get after it. I’m in the process of detailing a 37 ft cruiser. I notice that in this video you said that you use alcohol before applying ceramic coat. I am using the repel pro and Thor. Is it necessary to alcohol everything or would a dawn soap wash be enough please let me know I don’t want to skip any steps before the coating. I appreciate you
Hey bro, you’re fine with either/or. If you do alcohol, it will be fine, or if you do Dawn, it will be fine. It’s up to you. It can sometimes be quicker just to take alcohol wipes, just to wipe the boat down real quick doing a whole wash job, but that’s just my opinion.
Hey Drake! Great job on the detailing and the tips. I was just wondering the type of green bristled brush you are using, thank you! Keep up the good work man.
The brush I use is from a local chemical distributor! I don’t know the brand I’m sorry! It’s comparable to the blue shurhold boat Brush! You can get that online or at west marine
Drake's Detailing okay! Thanks man!
Thanks for the videos, awesome job and great value
What kinda of pressure washer do you use ? Thanks again
Hey bro! I go to Walmart and the the $200 one!
Thanks Drake. I have a 45 foot coach i washed today and now have to do light polishing and coating w-f. The problem is i would like to use the igl with the polishing pad but i cant get igl marine in time. Any other recommendation like gtechnigue or gyeon i can get ny hands on. Carolina detail supply in north carolina has different brands i csn pick up

Great video!!!...learning boat detailing, but have done a lot of car detailing and ceramic coatings . my question to you is do you know of any car detailers apply ceramic coatings with a microfiber pad on cars like you do ?...Thanks
You would never see a professional car detailer apply a ceramic coating by DA and using a MF pad 😮 NEVER
Really well done. On non skid that is oxidized are you using your da and Menzerna first too? Not this boat per se but a uncoated one? Thx.
Yes, or I’ll use Menzerna on a wool pad using a rotary. Run it on like 1100 rpm really slow and let it work in. Then do menzerna in a da. If you do any correcting on non skid you usually have to pressure wash the non skid pretty good to remove left over compound.
Wish you lived in southern Florida the treasure coast!! I wouldn’t have to do the work!😎I’m getting too old ….lol
Maybe one day! 😎
As well as just curious I have boat polished to my best of my ability. And it was waxed do I need to use dawn to clean that off then use alcohol to clean it off before I use ceramic coat
Yes, if you were going to ceramic coat your boat, you need to make sure all of the wax is completely removed. You can use Dawn dishwashing soap, and rubbing alcohol to do that. Once all of the wax and oils are removed then you can ceramic coat.
Hey how can you get this product
Hey Drake, I just watched your video on how to clean your vinyl seats using pp with water magic eraser and top off with 303. Could I ceramic coat after applying 303 or is there a different method for applying ceramic coating on vinyl. I’m wondering if clutch would be ok? Thanks
Hey bro! You don’t want to ceramic coat over the vinyl seats- it can turn them yellow. I
Have you ever sealed synthetic teak like Flexiteek; and, if so, what is your favorite technique and product and can you use ceramic? Thanks and love your vids!
Hey Hank! Unfortunately I have never used that product. Sorry bro!
Drake I wish you were in Illinois instead of California !! Would love you to do my Ranger !!
I pretty busy here in Cali! Haha
Great videos man. For nonskid - there's two types- the raised checker pattern type and the partical type (like sandpaper). I'm dealing with the partical sandpaper type. Same process laying down the Ceramic as the pattern type in the video?
Yep!
Do not level the non skid, also apply 2 coats.
Awesome video man. I can’t seem to find any place that sells this IGL coating. Where can I get some?
You have to be an approved detailer, do you have a detailing business?
Is it safe to spray the center console dash panel area with a water hose? I’m asking cause I just bought a sportsman 212 and it’s my first boat with fancy electronics like a garmin 942xs, blue tooth radio, vhf radio etc. was wondering if you recommend spraying it with water first and then washing it by hand with soap etc. a video on it would be great
yes it can be with light pressure!
I have a black jet ski that I had ceramic coated when I first purchased it new last year. I coated to protect it against water spots only to find out it still didn't really help(it almost made it worse). Is there a specific ceramic coating more resistant to water spotting or is there another coating that will do a better job for my marine application? Your opinion is highly appreciated. Thanks
There are no coatings that are resistant to water spots they may help lessen them but none will keep water spots away
Drake! Love your channel. Did a full detail on my ski nautique before I sold it last spring. My big question is ceramic coating my seats. They are needing love from a season of use. Should I clean them with a normal process purple power magic eraser etc and then go straight to ceramic. Or put an additional product on them first. Seems like the vinyl needs / wants to be remoisturized. If that makes sense??
Yes, find a good marine vinyl conditioner, then keep them sealed up with 303. Ceramic coating sometimes has a tendency to yellow out the upholstery
@@DrakesDetailing Thanks for the pro tip. Was up in the air about putting ceramic on my very white vinyl.
so what is the best ceramic coating for a boat? Is it still IGL? or what? not a detailer just a guy but I used your videos to cut the heavy oxidation off my boat a 23 ft cat lots of work. I am going to polish this week and want to ceramic coat soon. The boat normally stays in a slip salt water Beaufort SC. Don't want to do any of this again anytime soon or never. A detailer quoted me 1000 with ceramic and then no showed me. So I undertook. Your videos are spot on anybody following directions can do. thanks for your help. can't believe you don't have at least 100k subscribers
starke liquid Thor is now my go to for ceramic its amazing, and easier to use than igl
drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/collections/starke-surface-technology/products/liquid-thor-nano-ceramic-marine-coating?_pos=2&_sid=0063a6a42&_ss=r
hi, a question what is the brand or where can I get a small polisher like the one you use on this video?
I ordered this one .. Its not the same but should do the same work as the one Drake uses www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07T9RTRNY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Menzerna 400 says it is a heavy cut compound is this a fine enough finish or should you polish to more of a medium or fine cut like menzerna 2500?
Menzerna 400 acts like a polish on a boat.
If you have a dark color hull follow up with 2500 and while foam lake country pad
when you dawn wash the top side doesnt it remove the protective coating on the bottom of the boat as the dawn runs off of the boat ?
Dawn is not that strong
Do you know the paint code of those Yamaha 300's? Where do you get your touch up paint for those?
Sorry I do not, I don’t do touch up paint
Hey Drake, Very impressed with your work ethic and passion for perfection. I'm ceramic coating my first Robalo R260. The Robalo just needs a cut and polish. What is a good estimate per foot for coating this boat? Did you use super clean straight in your foam cannon for the first clean and what polish do you use for stainless steel? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work on your videos!
Thanks for the compliments!
What coating are you using?
I’d probably be around $40 a ft for the compound and polish
I cleaned with dawn in my foam cannon
My pleasure! Ceramic one is the coating I'll be applying. Thank you for answering my questions! I appreciate it.
Not sure of the price on that coating! Usually for rub rail down to water line I’d charge around $50 a ft and topside around $75.
But I am high on my ceramic pricing so shoot for lower ha
Ceramic Coat $50-$75 per foot here around Puget Sound
What do you use to wash the pad and the regs after?
Ceramic rags and pads, I just Throw away.
I'm going to do my boat this year. Can you put on sea deck
I personally wouldn’t put it on SeaDek, I don’t know what reaction it will have with foam.
My back hurts just watching you guys work..lol I watch these wondering what I would charge for the job you’re performing and I could never put a number on it. 🤷🏽♂️ great content!
Haha it’s hard work! My Chiropractor told me to switch careers!
@@DrakesDetailing that’s hilarious, I’m seeing a chiropractor this afternoon today too. I’ll probably get the same advice lol
Stopping doing this kind of work get you worse. Slow down is the best I did and it works. I do boats ones in a while and most of it cars.
Good job on the boats.!!!
Would applying something like 303 UV Protectant be necessary after applying a ceramic coat to boat seats/furniture?
I would love to know this also
It all depends on whether or not the ceramic product has UV filters to keep them from damaging the seats, etc...
pretty cool. I've never seen anyone apply ceramic with a polisher. do you toss the pad after or any specific way you clean it to prevent it from hardening up and losing a pad?
Just toss the pad after
@@DrakesDetailing cool man. Videos are awesome.
can you tell me what you think of Hydrosilex Ceramic product? it Simms to be a lot easier then regular ceramic and no tools necessary.
It’s not a true ceramic coating, it’s an si02 spray.
It will only last a few months compared to this will last about 2 years
Knee Pad can be good too ;) - BUT also wonder WHAT the Ceramic Coat - DO to a BOAT ? What is the Diff - Between Ceramic Coat and WAX ?
Anything will be an improvement over wax.. Some waxes have evolved into sealants which I guess may be better but none of these things are known for longevity.. I know that there are ceramic coating products for vehicles, but I do not know if there are any really tested long term with proof, ceramic products for boats..
A coating is supposed to be able to handle more bad stuff and not go away for a longer time.. It is usually a kind of product that repels dirt, unlike a wax which is oily and actually holds onto all dirt that lands on it..
Waxes have a lot of oils in them, some synthetic, that make it always look really shiny, etc., but that is only because of all the OILS on it.. Once they get cooked off, way less shine and protection..
I'm confused, what wax is being removed if it was ceramic covered before? Great video btw
Removing oils for the polish, not wax
Can you ceramic a fiberglass boat that has a rough non-smooth surface? I have a Carolina skiff DLV 218 that has this non-smooth surface and looks luke orange peel dry wall.
Absolutely! Ceramic coating is a great solution for rough surfaces like non skid in order to keep dirt and oxidation from settling in.
@@DrakesDetailing thank you for your reply. Your videos are so satisfying to watch, they are great!!
Great video. Love the detail (pun intended haha)... So my new Barletta pontoon boat manufacturer is not recommending use of any 303 or vinyl protectant. Something to do with the type of vinyl I guess. They do mention Vantage Protection system which is a ceramic coating product. Unfortunately, my dealer doesn't carry it so I'm looking for other products to use to protect my seats. Are there any on Amazon that you've tried that you recommend? Thanks man! Keep up the good work!
Hey man! That’s weird that they say not to use 303, I’ve never heard of that before. Unfortunately that’s really the only one I use :/.
@@DrakesDetailing thanks for the response Drake! Yeah, I’m trying to figure out which vinyl manufacture they have sourced so I can try to understand why this new vinyl would be different. Take care!!!
Hey Drake any luck cleaning and reusing ceramic buff micro fibers or are they throw aways? I’m doing a fifty 😅
They are trash after one use, you may can save it if you washed it out with alcohol but I don’t, I just throw it away!
Good luck bro! Ha
Hi Drake, I always put a coat of wax (collinite) under the waterline. I want to experiment with Gyeon cancoat above the waterline, do you think it would work out on the bottom of the boat as well?
Hey there! I apologize, I’ve ever heard of that product before
@@DrakesDetailing in general, Will a ceramic coating hold under water?
Great video thanks for the tip on using the da to apply ceramic coating does the coating rainbow when it flashes
Yo Drake how much of the IGL would you have used on this detail if it was it’s first time. And do you prefer two coats on the first time? Also do you do any different prep on black gelcoat including the ceramic application? Thx!
Just doing one coat in this video I went Thur 2 full bottles, I believe when I first did it I used about 3.5 bottles.
Yes, if there is no ceramic on the surface always do 2 coats.
Nothing different on black, the only thing that would make a difference is if there is any oxidation, then you would want to remove all oxidation first then do the steps in this video!
You may want to finish with the white force lake country pad as well, not the grey or orange like in the video.
The white pad is alittle softer, it will give you a better finish on darker colors.
As for applying ceramic it’s the same on all colors.
What size bottles are you using? It looked like the 500ml bottle?
Only 200ml
@@DrakesDetailing try using a syringe next time. I did a 30 foot contender last weekend from bottom paint to top rail and only used 150ml for two coats. I like your idea of the microfiber I have been using autofiber applicators and it takes a while
@@DrakesDetailing also are you on the igl marine forums? If not let me know I'll add you.
Did you have any high spots? Or is this coating a low level coating and not that finicky?
No high spots that we saw!
igl is super easy! Hands down the easiest coating I have ever worked with when it comes to leveling.
Drake which ceramic are you using these days, the one in this video only??
I now use shine supply bead lock: shinesupply.com/products/beadlock-pro-marine-ceramic-coating-50ml-kit

Who do recommend in Tampa Bay for this?
Hey bro! Unfortunately I don’t have any contacts in the Tampa area
Does it make that deck slippery?
No, it will make it a touch more slick, but it’s ultimately the engineering of the non-skid that keeps it non-slip.
Does the ceramic on the non skid leave it slick/slippery?
Nope!
@@DrakesDetailing wow, that's pretty great!
It makes cleaning way easier!
@@DrakesDetailing I bet! im going to have to try this, Thanks! Keep up the good content!
What's the benefits of ceramic coating a boat that has been wrapped?
The ceramic coating will not adhere as well to vinyl, so not a lot of benefit, unless you are wanting that extra shine, that will be there for awhile before it goes away..
what music do you listen to mate
Usually Christian worship music! I need Jesus to get me through the day killing my self on these boats haha
Just curious. What was the rationale of the owner not to have you do the exterior of the hull while you were at it?
He said he can wax the hull because it’s easy to wax
I think you can say, “absolutely need”. I’d be lost without my PXE 80.
Thats the truth!
What is the best ceramic to use? Thanks
Are you a Diy’er or detailing business?
@@DrakesDetailing I am not a detailer however I am having a professional/friend doing it for me. He is used to cars so wanted a recommendation on what to order. Thanks

Great video bro. What's your favorite marine ceramic coating?
igl coatings 100% !
The prices is good, easy to apply and it’s preformed really well in salt water!
@@DrakesDetailing How was the process to get certified so you can buy the coating?
Pretty easy! I think I just reached out to them and I was approved! I was also Ceramic pro certified before so I don’t know if that’s why they approved me so quickly!

@@DrakesDetailing Thank you brotha
How do you maintain your boat after the ceramic coating is applied? Ours sits most of the summer on a covered boat lift, freshwater only.
Good question! Get you some starke replenish. This stuff is amazing at adding extra protection to your ceramic. I’d recommend applying this product atleast once a month.
All you have todo is spray replenish onto a microfiber and wipe it in.
drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/collections/starke-surface-technology/products/starke-replenish-silica-spray
A safe soap to use is pure clean, it’s ph balanced for ceramic. It will clean with out damage the coating.
drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/collections/starke-surface-technology/products/starke-pure-clean-boat-soap
@@DrakesDetailing if you have water spots would you recommend the Venom product or does wash remove all water spots?
Venom is safe to remove water spots on ceramic. Just wipe replenish on after
@@DrakesDetailing thanks for the advice. Appreciate your time and experience
No problem!
Tds on IGL Marine require 2 coats. Also require to up&down + left&right in order to apply correctly the coating. Also IGL have a precoat product that is used exclusively before you apply any IGL coating.
Boat already had IGL on it, this was a topper one year later
@@DrakesDetailing If IGL marine was applied correctly 1 year ago no topper where required after 1 year. Easy above water will last 4 years.
@@maxriganti8199 ok guy! Well beings you’re the pro why are you watching a video on how to apply ceramic? Ha
@@DrakesDetailing lol! It come up on my feed. I’m a IGL master Kenzo Detailer For 3 years. I own a 4Ksq2 shop in Phoenix AZ. Far away to be just a guy….my comments Where only intended as coaching and far away From insulting or bashing.
Cool! You should stick to kenzo! You don’t know the first thing about igl marine in warm salt water :)
Drake,
How do you get the boat off the trailer- or do you ignore it?
That spot typically doesn’t get done
I don't understand why you would polish before adding another layer of coating? Wouldn't it be better to add another layer to the already existing coating that is already on it? 2 layers of coating instead of 1
The polish isn’t removing the coating, it’s removing water sports and scratches in the coating
@@DrakesDetailing But doesn't the coating fill in the water spots and scatches? By polishing you are removing a small layer of coating, which I think shouldn't be removed at all...
Cool then don’t polish it bro
@@DrakesDetailing You're the one making the video dude...
Exactly so take my advice or leave it
I make $200 on bigger trucks I can only imagine what your making on a boat! $500?
Did you do mobile boat detailing starting out?
Yes I started out mobile detailing. Cars, Rv’s and boats
On this boat I charged around $3200
Do you have a price sheet you can email me?
Whatcha mean? Pricing for what??
@@DrakesDetailing cost per foot.... lol
Ttt
Curious about the oils on your hands effecting the ceramic?
I see in some parts you arent wearing gloves while leveling. Will the oils from your hands not transfer to the rag? I have been using marine nano shop liquid crystal prop and pro hd. I operate my marine detailing business in florida. Would love to talk shop sometime man🤙🏽 check me out on facebook and insta.

Best case would be to wear gloves... but in this case it was 90 degrees and I was sweating like a mofo ha my gloves were dripping so we took them off.
It is what it is ha
