Dude your videos are so refreshing. You hit the nail on the head when you said that learning is so important. I've been doing boats for over 5 years, and every single one is a learning experience. Striving to be better is key 🔑
I definitely needed this video today. I found your videos looking for a way to remediate oxidation and I've spent three days on one boat. It's been a hard week mentally and I really needed a pep talk to remind me why I do this work. 👍👍👍💪💪💪
That’s awesome, so glad it could help! 💯
Im making $40k as a firefighter and I can buff a boat hull like a mirror. Maybe time to move coastal😂
Come on! There is money to be made !
Watching from Knoxville, TN. I'm considering starting my own auto/boat detailing business and this video was so encouraging!
Awesome! :) good luck!
Man, what a good video! Love this format podcast style videos
Glad you enjoy it!
Glad I stumbled across this video especially the part about how business changes you and drives you. So true!! ❤❤
❤️🔥😎
Words can't describe how helpful this video is. Thanks Drake for making them 🙏
I'm in the process of slowly starting my company and it is really awesome to have someone pave a path towards being successful. It a really big and scary investment taking the jump and I'm glad people like you and Bryson are there to help and shed knowledge.
Absolutely Bro! Im glad we could help you! hit me up on instagram if you need help. instagram.com/drakes.detailing/
What a great pod cast, thank-you for joins us last night as we got to know you, that was fun
Thanks for having me bro!!
Enjoyed it mike!!
@@big-redsdetailingcliffords2379 thank you
Appreciate you dropping some knowledge last night in the steam with Mike and Eric! Hoping I win the giveaway! Stay blessed!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Love you guys!! So glad I found your channel! I love that you talked about your relationship with God! God is so good!!!! I just went full time auto detailing and I definitely love it! I wanna learn boats too. Would love to connect! I have a question, does wintertime get slower for you?
I have the Flex, and a Rupes 21 MKIII with the washer mod and I find myself switching back and forth depending on the job, as well as how I'm feeling that day. The washer mod helped with efficiency and brought it up to the level of the Flex
Nice! Great tip!
A good watch for pricing is to take a look at the movie "Pumping Iron". Arnold talks about when he first came to America working as a tile setter and charging low rates thinking he would get more business. Didn't happen. He then decided to be the most expensive "old world tile" man in California. His business skyrocketed. Of course, he was always good at marketing.
I agree! That same thing happened to me
Great videos! Finally a true professional boat detailer that is sharing the secrets to a perfect boat.How mutch would I have to paid for my princess v53;full wet sanding ,rubbing, polish and ceramic glasscoat?
It depends on how many steps, but for all of what you just said, probably around $250 a ft!
Great video guys . I Belive this video will definitely inspire.. I’m going to run through those wet sanding videos .87 228 Grady with bad Oxidation. Appreciate all the professional knowledge you two are will to share . Thanks
Awesome, Thanks for watching!
Great job guys. Hello from London.
Thanks!
From France . Real motivation!
🔥🔥😎
Thank you for this! I’m not doing well I can relate a lot to Bryce with being in a low spot, depression, dead end in a thankless job. I really want to chase down the marine market. I am in Northern Wisconsin so that’s a difficult situation
I definitely hear you bro! Keep your head up and stay positive!! You got this! 🔥💪
Hey man cool video!! I’ve been meaning to ask what you do for the very bottom of the boat? I don’t know if just don’t t show the clips or if there is a reason you don’t get under the boat sometimes.
The most we usually do is clean the orange stain off. We charge more for waxing under the boat. Most customers don't wanna pay it and the wax with only last about 2 boat trips in salt water.
From Pensacola Florida working in eastern North Carolina videos are spot on
Thanks! Ha
Congratulations on your success tell mom and dad David Matherne said hello
Will do! Thanks for watching!
Could you do when it fits schedule to talk about gel coats. Such as thick, thin, porus and any tips when working with the various gel coats on do's and don't.
Thanks

Yes! I have a video like that coming soon with a good friend of mine that knows 1000 times more than me, Be owns a yacht building and crafts company
I’m listening from Belize 🇧🇿
awesome!
Hello drake. I'm watching this from Slovenia. My question is how do you get your first customer. I'm only 18 and i love to work with boats so i hope you can help me🙏🏻. Thanks
Makes a difference when people take pride in their work.i had two seperate detailer do my boat and it was utterly shitty job
I’m sorry that happened! I take great pride in my work!
Watching from Miami!
🔥🔥🔥
New Jersey! This was awesome a lot of points hit home for me. Getting me stoked to up my details
Awesome! Thanks for watching !
I'm from Jersey as well. Atlantic County. Where you from?
What’s the forum you guys are talking about?
Can you use the Starke Hyper Hold Polymer Sealant as a wax for the last step?
Yes! It’s very good
Couple more questions. I know you take time to wash off all the waxes and polishes before you put on the jenstar. Could you put the jenstar on and then after that put a wax on top of the jenstar in an area where you are in salt water.
What are your thoughts on the 3 inch pads for cordless drills? Like you talked about in video until you get bucks to get a flex or rupees mini polisher this will work. That was for marital but I assume no difference between that and cordless drill.
Tks

After your correction steps wash the boat with dawn to strip the oils. After apply the jescer power lock, let that cure for 8 hours and then you can apply a wax on top of that for extra protection. I personally do not like wax. I rather apply starke replenish. It's easier to apply and last longer.
drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/collections/starke-surface-technology/products/starke-replenish-silica-spray
as for the drill attachment that will work fine, It just may be hard to get that drill in tight spots
My main question is what platform/app do you guys use to manage all of your invoices & work orders to keep track of everything?
I use square.
Love your passion for your job. Would you come to Athens Ga and detail 3 boats in a climate controlled building if I paid all your expenses?
Hey bro! I don’t think at this time, but thank you so much for your generous offer!!!
san diego ca. the marina is word of mouth. my favorite rules
treat everyone good.
stick to your price.
never steal anything not even a quarter laying on the teak.
AND ALWAYS PICK UP YOUR PHONE.
i agree very hard to find good help somebody who cares about the company like yourself.
💯💯💯
Hey i been detailing my own boat now and it has a dark blue gelcoat and when i buff it with a heavy cutting pad the pad turns blue. I was wondering if i should maybe go to a medium cut pad or the compound im using
It is normal for the pad to turn blue on colored hulls, just clean your pad regularly, it won’t come perfectly clean but spin it up with a paint stick in the wool or a spur to get the “gunk” out of the pad 👍🏻
What Brice said ! 👆👆
The blue is coming from the gel coat, you are remove a thin layer of gel coat when you buff it, so that’s all that is.
What do you guys do for licensing and taxes?
Hey Drake. Another question for you. So I live in the midlands of a state where there are only lakes. Most lake boats are center consoles, ski boats, and pontoons. Do you have any experience detailing pontoons?
I do, I don't like pontoons but we do them
Yeah I’m not a pontoon fan myself. Any tips/product recommendations on mirror polishing the floats of a pontoon?
This is the only and best way!

Hey have a Detailing Business that started off good. But, then all of a sudden work stopped coming. Have great crew that has been trained and we do the jobs fast and with a 5 Star quality. But even after advertising on Yelp and Google and doing Our own flyers that we left on cars. Most of our business came from word of mouth also but all of a sudden business just stopped. Will hit up Rv lots, lakes, ports. So can you show me the basic that you do for boats and ceramics.
Where are you located? it gets slow this time of the year for most detailers unless you're doing bigger boats like sport fishers and yachts.
what is a good product for my boat seats to clean and protect them
Shine supply Sunsetter is an amazing seat cleaner and conditioner! www.detailusupply.com/products/sunsetter-16oz-w-black-sprayer?_pos=4&_sid=5aeb9d9f8&_ss=r
Im in Tulsa and my biggest problem is doing smaller boats on a Lift how do you get underneath the boat!?! Lol
Lol! I normally request that you be moved onto blocks and Jack stands if they want the bottom done.
Im listening from Chunchula,Alabama.
Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks for watching bro!
@@DrakesDetailing oh yea bro you got a new subscriber out of me gotta support my fellow detail brothers!! Look forward to winning the giveaway and the content!
Come on! Ha
West Palm Beach.
Thanks for watching! Lots of boats down there!
I work a 9-5, Mon thru Fri office job. Planning on starting a weekend detailing business within the next month. Is there any advise or suggestions you can give such as how long your average detail takes, any services I should provide that fit within a weekend time frame. etc.
I would stick to wash and waxes maybe compounding.
You can make good money just detail washing boats for around $7 to $10 a ft
@@DrakesDetailing Thank you. $7 to $10 a ft even in Miami, FL?
Yea man!
Im going to be starting my business in Marina del rey CA and surrounding area soon. My dad has worked on the marina for years and i notice about 90 percent of people do just do a quick spray soap. Brush and dry. Would you recommend trying the same business model? Just find the best way to keep busy when you dont have those big detail jobs
I can relate! This channel is great
Im on my first year mobile carwasher and learning from TH-cam and facing my fears by going after it and not giving up.
Listening on the regular now from Orange County, California!
Awesome!!! Thanks for watching
Awesome

When you contract marina work do they make you guys give them a cut/ percentage of the work?
I don’t do a lot of contractual work, but yes, typically they mark up the job, so they make their money. It normally doesn’t come directly out of my pocket, but that’s typically why I don’t do contract sub work, because they want me to do it for cheap and then mark it up on top of that for them. I’m just not about that.😎
@@DrakesDetailing Thank you for the insight. 👊🏻👊🏻
Could you make a video on detailing a car?
I have one up, I just don’t do many cars nowadays! I mainly do boats now
Hello from Croatia

He was running it on too high of a speed. He was on speed 6 and we usually run them on 4.5 - 5

Did someone win the giveaway yet?
Yes! I announced it on my Instagram today
Best video yet. I have 2 of the tools you recommended. God is #1. Put God first, and he will direct you in the path of your dreams. Thank you so much. Amazing.
Blessed be our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Truly amazing.
Come on!! thats awesome bro!
Love the material but having to stop what I'm doing every couple minutes because of your ads is killing me man. Please please change the ad structure. It really takes away from the experience getting an ad every couple minutes. I have watched countless detailing channels and yours has the most ads hands down. Check to see how soon people are checking out of your videos.
I fixed it!
Thanks for the feedback
No hate at all man. This is definitely the best channel for boats hands down. I pray that adjusting your ads doesn't affect your ad revenue in the long run. Thank you man!
I don’t make much from the ads anyway! Ha it ain’t about the money for me, just trying to help
I really appreciate the honest feedback!
