BRO!!!! PRESSURE WASHING LEAVES?!?!?! J/k I saw like 100 comments about the damn leaves.... nice job man, keep it up and everyone else... STOP FOCUSING ON THE DAMN LEAVES. 🍃
Amen!!! 💯💯💯
Man I bet you could make a killing pressure washing those leaves away!! Kidding Buddy.. lol
Exactly!! Leaves are a pain in the butt! They get in every nook and crevice!
@@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.
drake i spoke with you on the phone one time. ill never forget it was when i was first starting off, and we talked for the longest! you gave me some pointers man and i really appreciate that. 🙏🙏🙏
No problem!!
Cuz he’s a bad ass dude!
Hey man, I started a detailing business 3 months ago and my life has changed. Making the money we do for yourself feels surreal. I have a banner on my car and a customer calls me when i’m in traffic inquiring about a 40” boat. Now I know i’m going to knock this one out the park. Thank you.
Awesome ! Keep killing it bro!
Hey @TrayJayRecords, four years in, how’s the detailing business going?
I never thought I'd subscribe to a detailing channel but your content, delivery, and advice is all A+. Keep it up!
Wow! Thank you!
Its funny I just told myself this
Watching you do the works and give tips to those want to learn how to get it done is top notch 👍! Your personality is the way of life some of us needs to learn...
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the compliments
sensational work with fantastic delivery. Really appreciate a delivery which is free of blabbing rubbish like so many are. Professional and to the point highly appreciated!!!
Awesome thanks bro I appreciate it!
Best boat detailing channel on YT
Awesome video! Lots of great tips and I like how you simplify it all, not complicated. I used to live about 15 minutes from Griots garage in Tacoma, WA man that place has become big time!
Thanks! Ya they make great machines!
Great video. Thank you for putting the before after at beginning of your video. And thank you for showing and sharing products used and method. Making $100 hr never been easier. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching
Really grateful for these videos considering that I’m trying to start my own business
Great! I try hard to get y’all the info you need to start with confidence
Love your content brother!! I'm new to the lil wash n wax boat hustle. But MAN OH MAN you have THE BEST content for this subject on TH-cam. My skills are on 10 now because of your stuff!! I'm grateful tbh. Thanks brother!! Game Changer here baby!!!
Thanks so much!! What part of my videos really stands out to you? Love the positive feedback 😎
Hey may! Awesome work. Could you do a list of products and tools needed for someone that’s interested in starting. I work full time and would love to do this on the side.
Hey Drake, nice video, very useful information and great work!!!
Bro love the channel. Please keep up the boat detail videos. Been in business for 3 years and just really getting into boats; and there's no real detailing channels that go into boats. Cheers!
Thanks bro! That’s the reason I started this channel, there is no good info on boats out there! Stay tuned for some great stuff I’m working on coming up!
Drake's Detailing great info, great editing, great job
Thanks bro! Ha
Great advice, looks like you do excellent work at a fair price. Thanks.
Awesome video. Ive been detailing boats for 9 years in sc. I thought i was the only one who detailed the interior that way 🤣
I just started a mobile detailing business and landed myself my 1st 16ft boat for this weekend, excited but of course nervous lol this definitely helps
Good luck! You got this!
Dude I swear I got a 30ft closed bow I just landed & my generator took a shit. But I’ve still been looking for material & this was awesome.
Great vid bro.....You definitely earned a like and subscription 👍🏾
7 minutes, I like the fact that you appreciated the customer and justified that $500 was a good price because she was nice. 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.
Thanks for the comment!!
You're auto/boat detailer goals. I love detailing it doesnt feel like work.
I appreciate the knowledge you share, i always try to improve and get better.
Thanks bro! Ha I love detailing boats, cars sort of drain the life out of me haha
great clean job! - one tip you might find useful : sometimes I find its best to literally use a broom and dustpan to get some of the leaves out before you powerwash.
Great tip!
Electric pressure washers have gotten stronger now that it's really all you need for a boat. Light weight. And they aren't running all the time, only when needed
Second time watching. Really enjoy your channel
EXCELLENT JOB!! Great VIDEO !! Your “Da Man”!!!
Thanks!
Absolutely wonderful videos! any suggestions for removing barnacles from fiberglass hull . also - best way to clean metal "'Wall" on pontoon, THANK YOU!
Dude!!! I know this is a few years old now, but I just came across. You have definitely inspired me. I have a page and a half worth of notes. You've made me believe I may can actually DO this!
That’s so awesome! Keep on grinding!
how’s it going man
Just subscribed. Awesome job man. Hard working young guy. Excellent job. I am a bit "seasoned" LOL.. but would've love to do that kind of work in my younger years.
There is still time! Ha thank you
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?
instant suscriber, Thanks for the great info!
Thank you!
Looks good. Do you 303 the vinyl after cleaning? I know the bleach can strip the vinyl and cause it to dry out and stain easier, but the 303 protects it and keeps it soft
Just did my first boat today man and already have 2 more boats lined up. Nervous about doing them right but these videos are helping a lot.
Glad I could help!
I just did a boat that looked like this on the inside took me about 5 and half hours nice job would love to pick your brain about starting my detailing business
Can you DM me on Instagram and I can give you more information! Drakes. detailing
I never comment to videos, just wanted to say thanks for the information, but more important! LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE to starting out and the money will come! You definitely take Pride In your work and your attitude to life is Awesome. May you keep receiving many blessings your way!! 🚤
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate you watching! 😎🔥
Great video! Really well done!
Thank you!!
You know your field.. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I’m a landscaper in vt I’m using your know how on my personal boat
So glad I could help!!! Thanks for watching! 😎🔥🔥
One of the greatest detail video ever!
Thanks!
Hey! Thanks a lot for the tip on the pump sprayer and the 25%,25% and fill it up concoction.
My baby looks brand new again.
Cheers,

Gland to hear!! 🔥
Sitting here in Romania thinking about getin' my 48' Cantius in Ft. Myers to shine. Yes, it's true. Great video, high production value!
Wow, thank you so much for watching!
Fort myers native here. Live in Atlanta now but these videos are great
I've been using cleaner wax on my boat while cleaning it at the sandbar when I'm bored!! What would you recommend for that kind of cleaning. Only heavy clean twice a year. Otherwise boat sits on the dock all summer?? Also, what psi is your pressure washer. That wont damage the wiring on the engine bay or the wiring under the dash, or the seat stitching?? Thanks man
Loved your video and thanks for all the tips. I have an old Arriva from Bayliner and it has lots of oxidation on the Gelcoat. I plan to revive the finish for this boat since it runs really good and I have no reason to just give it up. I've watched a few of your videos and I like all the great tips. I know I'm a novice when it comes to detailing, but I think, with some elbow grease, I get the old girl looking like her old self again. Thanks for all the great info.. I will take your advice on the Power lock product as well..
So glad you learn something from the video! Best of luck
I like the fact that you change shoes,I normally carry a pair of work boots for washing (especially in the winter)then my regular shoes👍
💯👍🏻
Awesome video man. I use a leaf mulcher to get leaves and big chunks of dirt first thing so I don’t have to constantly re rinse the boat. I learn a lot for your videos but figured I’d share my tip with you
Thanks for the tip!
Which leaf mulcher do you use?
🤯🚀. Helped me out big time.
Hey Drake,
I just wanted to say thank you for the video’s, I have learned a lot from you. I rewatched one of your video this morning on my way to detail a boat. The inside of the boat I worked on today was no were as dirty as the one you did in this video. It took me a 6 hours with a helper.
Awesome Bro! You will get faster! Biggest thing is to set up a system that works for you And do it the same way every time. I pretty much do every boat the same way every time! Makes it easier and faster!
Drake's Detailing Thank you.
@@DrakesDetailing back in my olden days I was a football coach. Listen to the successful coaches, they do they same things over and over again! So congratulations! I enjoyed the video. These days I own a boat, I don't think I need a $400 polisher, but the pads seem to be the key. Will they work on any polisher? And if you had to (or are allowed to) can you recommend a cheaper one for some spot duty on a boat? TIA
You can find a pretty decent DAs and rotaries at Harbor freight tools
thanks so much!!
Great info. Easy sub! I'm going to be detailing my boat tomorrow after its been stored all winter. QUESTION. I have carpet in my bowrider. What do you recommend for that?
You can wash them like normal with alittle degreaser.
Use a shop vac to suck most water out, then let dry in the sun
Fantástic video thanks I going to star a new proyect next week so all your tips help alot thanks
Great! Glad I could help you!
Man I’ve truly learned a lot from you on keeping a boat clean. I do have a question for you what is your preferred nonskid works that’s easy to apply? I Definitely hit the subscribe button
Thank you so much!
Great 📹 !! Definitely gonna get these products
You should!
paint correction fancy new term for good old cut & buff. like the use of sealant instead of carnuba though. that was best advice on video
Right on😎🔥
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
Awesome thank you for the information
Yes Sir! Hope it helps ya!
Damn wish you were in Michigan bruh! Lovin all the tips. Amazing work
Thanks a lot!!
You have no business being this good looking and hard working. Great video and I am using these tips to clean our boat
💯💯💯💯
Great work bro and great video what products did you use because I’ll will be doing my 1st boat in a couple weeks
All products I recommend and use are in the description
Looks real good. Good advice also.
Thank you!! 💯
What you shared is so helpful two us. Thank you and I will be purchasing the products you listed
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.
Nice! You can also spray rust aid on the hull as well! Works great! Thanks for tips!
The perfect example I needed. Are you drying the boat before the power lock? Thanks Drake! new sub
Hey bro! Yep always always dry before you seal with anything!
Yo can you make a video about your pickup setup? That would be interesting to compare vs a just car detail setup. Did my first boat this week thanks to your video, great work man!
I have an old video from about a year or two ago that goes through everything in my truck. I’m not fancy, it’s literally just some bins in the bed of my truck, haha
You earned my like man! I’m a mobile detailer and just expanded into boats. When cleaning, have you ever used Lysol toilet cleaner or starbright instead of bleach?
No, if I use bleach I use outdoor bleach.
I very rarely use bleach though
I went From being a Car / motorcycle/ Suv/ TruckDetailer , to doing boats
Just upted my game and Got a Dewalt polisher with huje wool pads , and a Maxshine 1000 , best money Spent Ever
Gelcoat is Not Super Ez , but with the right Equipment it's getting better..
I"ll give this Stuff a Try , thanks for the Cool imput.. 😎😀👍😊
Awesome! Hope it goes well! 😎
nice job! although i only use white towels to avoid staining vinyl. White towels and white boots
Do you ever polish (aluminum) pontoons? Curious what your steps are in that case.
Great video thanks! What is the long-handled washing "mop" that you are using on the exterior? And what kind of pad is on it? Thanks again!
It is a brush pole I got from Home Depot and the brush head was from amazon! I have links in the description section of the video!
Great video, I detailed this exact same boat today but 2018 21’ red and black bottom. Needed a 3 step on the hull tho. Those chaparrals have some bad gel coat a lot of the time
Yeah they can be kind of a pain, ha! 😎
Definitely love your Video King…..Blessings
Haha thanks bro!
So how would a king like make $ Doing this in my city.?
Is there any benefits to using extended wand with a Chenille wash mitt over a brush which can scratch the surface more
Bro ! You helped me a lot
Love the videos like always! Where is the best place to get the 2 and 3in pads !
Hey Man! right here on my website! drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/ Thanks for watching!
I have a bunch of black rub mark and just marks that won’t come off with scrubbing...I used starbrite stuff and then did barkeepers friend today....it DEF got the white, white but there are still just scuff marks from whatever it may be...maybe some blood marks too....would you suggest this 20% bleach\25% purple power/water solution to get those irritating marks off? What could I do wrong? Or better yet how can I do it wrong? If I wet it down and then spray it/scrub it and don’t let it dry am I good to go?
Great attention to detail. Only thing I’d like to see as a boat owner is vacuuming the leaves out. Don’t want to get those in the bilge area and block bilge pumps if it’s not self bailing.
agreed! those leaves were a pain
Hey man awesome video. What kind of vacuum cleaner did you use to suck up the water in the compartments?
Hey bro! Any kind of wet/dry shop vac will do
great video! intrested in starting a business and came across this video.
Nice bro! Good luck! 🔥
Awesome Video brother 👍I am also a Detailer who works on High End Boats and I am actually starting my own business to so I will be watching your videos for advice.
That's awesome! good luck!
@@DrakesDetailing thanks buddy 👍I live in Havasu city Arizona so I see lots of Boats so yeah easy money.
Just came across your videos as I’m looking into detailing my boat. Boat is new, do you recommend the gray pad since there isn’t any oxidation? How about using that machine and a gray pad on a car?
I would recommend the lake country force white pad... that will be softer for lighter polishing.
Hey Drake, great videos. I have my 1st boat detail coming up and I have quick question. His boat is lightly oxidize and I was looking for a 1step process for him. I typically one step on cars with a DA and a yellow rupes pads. Do you know if the yellow pad will have a similar cut as the Lake Grey. I have a Rupes LR15. I love Jescar powerlock+ so that with a Grey pad looks to be awesome. Keep up the great work. Any other tips please send them my way
you'll probably want to use something a little heavier, but it may work!!
Really great videos! I'm curious, do marinas require you to pay to use their water & electricity when detailing there?
No they dont
Great video, can you post more information on the products you use? Can I use All Purpose cleaner instead of bleach?
thank you, all purpose cleaner will work fine. All of the products I use are in the description section
one more question haha, i have the makita buffer and i was wondering if i could just put a foam pad on it and use it just like the flex? or do you just use the flex because its smaller
You can finish with the rotary makita, but it takes a lot more skill and usually more steps... if you used the rotary you would most likely have todo the orange lake country forced pad with menzerna 400 then the white force pad and menzerna 2500.
Anytime you use a rotary you are more likely to leave holograms
Hello Drake thank u for the videos, i'm trying to start working in this art of boat detailing, planing on buying my first equipments, i'm from Portugal, soo sorry for my english eheh
What u think is the minimun and max pressure that sould be used in the pressure washer ?
Because i'm going to buy a pressure washer this week and some advice would be great :)
Thank u again and have a great day !
I like 2100 psi
Thank you so much for your tips, I just got hired at a boat dealer 🚤
Awesome! Good luck!
Dude I give you credit 👍👍👍👍👍
Great video...I started my detailing business but never done a boat yet
Awesome! Glad I could help! Always feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions!
You said to spray the SiO2 on the panels too, but.... I thought you have to put SiO2 on virgin surface and You put sealant with the smaller flex machine. Can you please elaborate for me thanks
Wooow,I do the exact thing you do drake 25% bleach 25% Purple power and the rest water,but my dumb ass service manager tells me not to mix it,it's wrong,but I know what I'm doing,you just helped me prove him wrong after 7 years on the job
What type and size pad your using on the 80 and why? Also what do you think about the purple wool pad from lake country
I’m using the 3inch finishing microfiber pad from lake country on the pxe80. It’s thin and doesn’t soak in a lot of wax.
I have only tried the purple wool a few times and it was ok, works better for cars in my option.
I don’t really need it, because I do all of my cutting with a wool pad on a rotary. I only use da’s or my flex for finishing and waxing.
I have this boat but the outboard version.Wish you could come to Jax and do mine, but your video will have to do. One question, did you PW/wash inside the consoles?
You definitely can, just be careful!
I use a 12 gallon shop vac for super dirty decks especially if they got tons of leaves. I also observed that you got into the boat with dirty shoes. That kind of messes up your work. I use shoe covers after every wash so I do not cross contaminate.
Cool cool! I get in and out the boat a lot ha
That’s why I do the floors at the end :)
Hey man love your videos. I work as a detailer for a small company and I notice you don't use a buffing compound at all. When I detail boats, my boss wants me to buff the boat before hitting it with wax. We use wool buff pads instead of the foam ones you use. Is this a necessary step, or would the foam pad make the job that much easier? Because with all the steps my boss makes me take, I do in 5 8-hour days what you did in this 5 hours.
that's correct, I use compound all the time, just not in this video ha. this customer was only paying for wax so that's what we did. Check out my other videos for compound tips. 5 to 8 hours is about right, some of our jobs take weeks ha
Hi! When cleaning compartments with carpet, what product do you use (purple power)? and I'm assuming you just shop vac out the water wash? Thanks!
Just a mild degreaser and a good scrub will take care of that 😎
Great job!!What would your solution of choice been I if it weren’t so bad.Chemical and dilution ratio
I’m a huge fan of purple power and super clean. I don’t really dilute them, because when I need them I generally need all the cleaning power I can get. You just need to be carful it does not sit in the surface too long
Killing it
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks so much bro!! 🔥😎😎
Words of truth 🍻
is it okay to wet sand (1000 grit) and compound over the boat decals and pinstriping on the hull? Not sure if you are supposed to avoid them or if it's okay to go over them while you are doing the gelcoat.
I'd try to avoid them as best you can!
Another nice video
Thank you sir!
The jescar power lock seems hard to find in my country but there is a product called menzerna power lock that some research says is related to the jescar. Do you have any experience with the menzerna?
Yes, it’s the same product. Jescar is menzernas USA brand.
Is there a video or page i can go
To to see about how to charge for boats? I do cars and theres alot of boats around me..
Love the videos and god bless you for the free information and great content
Thank you, I have a video on pricing ! th-cam.com/video/oU8yRzaBVkM/w-d-xo.html
Where do you get the 3 inch pads for the Flex PXE 80? Will they have the same brightening effect as the grey foam pad does with the FLEX 4301?
You can but them at Detailed Image: www.detailedimage.com/Buffer-Pads-C79/
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
Yes that da will work!
There is good money in boats!
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
