Whats up Drake..i just wanted to say thank you for basically teaching me..i went from dreams to detailing in one season. I am now being featured on a local magazine. I am very well known at the lake..i am one of the best and I am recommended by everyone. I had a hard life came from a poor background..my family owes you a lot.. basically everything...thanks for keeping my family's head above the water..after all it was you that got me doing this .and learning from you ..
Wow thank you so much for this encouraging comment! I appreciate you watching the videos and applying the info! Keep working hard! Your family is proud of you! 💯
You’re the Sheppard for the boat detailing community and we appreciate you🍾🍾🎊🏄🏻♂️🤙 thanks for the awesome videos you really change lives! Thanks again
Hey, there. Foreign boat builder here in Australia. I build catamaran boat but decided to find another field to broaden my career. I have subscribed your channel for a long time but now I’m seriously checking your every single video. Mobile detailer looks a bit hard job under the sun but definitely nice result.
Haven’t seen any videos where you rinse the console with all the gauges.. I worry about flooding electronics and would like to see how you do it please
You can rinse them off lightly and miss them, just don’t jet them 100% of the time and make sure they don’t get submerged. Otherwise, it’s all good. At the end of the day, they are on a boat.😊
Thanks for all you great videos. Tried to buy more shine supply products, which I love, and use your discount code, but it wouldn't let me use it on a second purchase of more products. Tried to give you the credit for all the great info you have given to me.
Dude you're an amazing human being, humble but radiant in your passion and pride in your work. Thank you for all of the great information and advice. My question is: how much did you charge for that job on that 20' center console, for wash, wax, and hull included? Also, what do you use for the glass and plexiglass?
Thanks man! For just the detailed wash in the center council you’re probably looking at anywhere from $20-$25 per foot. IMAR products really good on isinglass!
Been watching awhile now and you have helped me out with answers. Now have you prepared a boat for wraps? If not what would you do to prep for wrap or possibly a video on this if it comes up
Hey bro, I have not prepared any boats for wraps, just make sure you do not see all the surface and remove all excess oils, so the wrap adheres to the gelcoat properly.
Hey Drake ! I’ve learned so much from you and your videos and I was hoping you can come through one more time 😂 have you ever dealt with pink staining on white vinyl seats ? If so, did you use the special product or how did you deal with it. Thanks !!
Hey bro! If you leave purple power on them too long, it can stain them pink/purpleish- also, bleach could have the potential to stain them pink as well.
@@DrakesDetailingit’s a type of mold, it almost looks artificial the pink is so bright. I’ve never come across it before and have a customer with the issue is why I asked. Apparently there’s a bacteria that eat the plasticizers in the vinyl and give off a red dye that turns into a pink stain that’s almost impossible to remove. “Vinyl Pinking”
Hi Drake! So you do a Jescar Power Lock + every 4-6 months. If I wanted to do the beadlock ceramic coating as well would that be the base layer? Jescar being the 2nd layer polymer, clutch SiO2 3rd layer, and then Punch it 4th layer? Also, I love your dedication to being the best you can be. It is very inspiring! God Bless You!
Hey there! Not necessarily, You either use Jess car, or be lax ceramic coating. It’s one or the other. You cannot have a base of power lock, then coat over it, it will not stick to the surface. Once you were done, correcting, then you prep and do ceramic, or once you’re done correcting, you prep the surface and then apply the sealant. The sealant you will need to reapply every six months. The ceramic should last around two years if maintained properly.
Love these videos on the fundamentals, I always learn something new just listening to you describe your process and thoughts behind it. Any chance of working with MaxShine Canada? You're the reason I buy from them and I wish I could give you the credit
private boat owner of a 2006 21 foot parker cc. Thanks for all the guidance on how to get started on proper maintenance. Planning to finally take a shot at compounding and waxing/sealing. I have a couple chips in the gel coat. I live in southern ca, coastal community. pretty moderate weather, stored on a trailer. What PSI is safe for initial pressure washer on this gel coat, what pressure washer tip used, and would having chips in the gel coat prohibit using the pressure washer at that PSI?
I would go with a light psi on the pressure washer. We use an electric 1800 psi pressure washer with a 15 degree tip. It will be save to use even with the chips. Hope this helps
Love your videos. I learned alot from you. I'm putting it to good use keeping my boat like new. Going to be doing a friends boat in a few weeks. Hardly any oxidation,not enough for a heavy rotary cut. What do you recommend for an 8mm DA. Compound 1st and polish or just a polishing? Thanks.
@@DrakesDetailing I was always nervous that the soot would get on your pad and spread around on the surface causing it to scratch around the metal on the gel coat. Is that not an issue?
You mentioned drying towels and super plush. So many listed in the sites in your links! Could you share exactly which ones you use and the size? Greatly appreciate it.
Drake first thanks for the videos you have taught us all some much about how to detail and maintain our boats. I have one question I bought the shine supply top chop and clutch to detail my boat but I usually use Jescar as my sealant can I use both jescar and clutch if so which one gets applied first?
Hey Drake. I noticed that you have recently been using the White Lake County CCS Foam Pad with the Jescar Powerlock. Do you recommend that over using the Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber Microfiber Pad?
I like them both! Quite honestly it’s all about what I happened to have with me on that day and what I feel like using😎 if anything, the white pad may be a touch more of a cut, as you are waxing, but not much at all.
Awesome work brother! Got a question. I have a navy blue Sea Hunt with lots of oxidation. Or so it seems to be oxidation. I can scratch it off with my fingernail. So I don’t know if it’s oxidation, or the polymer sealant. I’ve used the Jescar PowerLock plus the last 4 seasons. It seems to be getting worse. I wash it thoroughly with Dawn before each waxing. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Sound like you have oxidation, You'll need to buff it with compound first or possible a light sanding. Follow the steps in this video before waxing it this season : th-cam.com/video/0yMI87zjGfI/w-d-xo.html
The detail brushes are all maxshine brushes. You can find them here : maxshineusa.com/p.category/car-brushes/car-exterior-brushes/ Use my discount DRAKE15 at checkout to save 15%. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks. Your videos are great. Bought a new boat last year and it will be my first year uncovering and trying this myself. If it’s not bad can I just apply the jescar or should I apply a polish first?
I plan on reviewing some of your previous videos but TLDR i am new to the boat detailing world. I was called today to get a quote on a 39 foot "motor yacht" It is currently in the water and will stay in the water in its slip. THIS IS MY FIRST BOAT JOB. Any recommendations? where would i price this at? (25-50/ foot based on services?) He said theres light oxidiation as the boat was well cared for by previous owner but he neglected it over the past year in arizona. ANY help or advice would be appreciated on how i would want to approach quoting this. again.. this is going to be my VERY FIRST boat job.
@PolishedMobileDetailing503 Awesome appreciate the input! I'm thinking I may have to do top half polish only. since it's in the slip and can't be taken out of the water.
@@DrakesDetailing Awesome thank you both! I Booked the job for 1200. Wash and single step AIO Polish. So i got my 30/Foot on my first ever boat job! and its gonna be on a 39 foot yacht haha. Im excited for the work. This is gonna be a Gamechanger for me.

How long does it take for an experience profressional like you to do the three stages plus sanding on for say a 25 foot center console, liner cap and hull?
It depends on weather, and how many guys have working with me. With a full crew, we’re able to knock something like this in a day and a half to 2 1/2 days.
Hey Drake, i just watched a ton of your videos and tutorials. I have a 21ft boat with blue gelcoat that has some fading or light oxidation. I usually polish and wax by hand but i think i'm done with that lol. If I buy the M8SV2 can I use that with chop top or heavy cut and then use Jescar Power Lock plus to finish? If so, which CCS pad for cutting and sealing? Thanks so much!
Hey bro, the max shine DA is not meant to do compounding as heavy as chop top. You would need a rotary buffer for that. Rotary buff chop chop, then you can polish and seal with your DA to remove the swirl marks, and to “wax” the surface.
Drake, my aluminum T-top is looking rough. I’ve tried the woody wax (great smell as you mentioned), but I think I need something heavier. Any recommendations?
I love using Sherold deck brushes, that’s why a small detail brushes, they’re not brand specific, any he will do, even just from the auto parts store for just getting small amounts of dirt out of the creases of the dashboard.

How much did you charge for detailing this boat and how many feet is it?
$85.00 a ft for our Buff and Shine Package ( this was the final wash and wax after all of the buffing ) this boat was 20 Ft

How much do you charge to polish and coat a boat ? I saw you charge 85 ft for buff and shine
I do my pricing per foot, per step. Typically anywhere from $20-$25 per foot per step.

Hey bro, I’d use a light compound as a polish, then seal and see how it comes out. 😎
Taping the metal takes forever. What do you do about the black soot when buffing over or around the metal?
I just use a light degreaser to remove it before I seal the surface.
@@DrakesDetailing I was always nervous that the soot would get on your pad and spread around on the surface causing it to scratch around the metal on the gel coat. Is that not an issue?
What type of pressure washer are you using and what pressure are is it set at.
This is the Ryobi 1800 electric from home depot

About 6 months with proper maintenance before it’s due for a re-seal.
