Can’t believe I missed this video!! I got a long road ahead before I get to this stage. BUT, all you other vids will get me here. Always killing it Drake. Thanks again.
Have you heard of the Nautical detailers EverSeal 1.0 ? Supposedly the charge 305 for a 25 ft boat and say it lasts 4 yrs ! You know and i know that any sealer that you use on Gel coat has to be prepared and that alone will cost more than $300 ,just doesn't sound right to me. Let me say that a lot these you tube detailers put out so many videos and when ask how much they got paid for the job they don't say or make an excuse ,but you sir are very open and telling .You sir and your lovely family are on my prayer list .Lord bless you.
Wow! Thank you so much! I appreciate that! As for the Ever Seal I have never heard of it, sounds really cheap to last 4 years, and In the marine world nothing last 4 years haha
Just watching your videos over the last couple of months and I'm a big fan. Thanks for all you do to show us and explain. I use alot of the same products that you talk about.
Very informative thanks - is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser not too abrasive to use? I’m really surprised by that since I know it’s a highly abrasive cleaning product. I won’t even use them on my kitchen appliances because it will make them look dull. My understanding is that when the melamine resin in magic erasers gets wet its microstructure becomes hard and gritty like a super-fine sandpaper, which is why it removes dirt and stains but that also means it can also eat away at any top coatings or paint on a surface as well. I understand you’re only using it on the non-skid but it still makes me nervous. Interested to hear your thoughts. Really value your suggestions in this video - thanks!
How do you approach washing when boat is in the water? That is, if only have land access to one side how do you properly clean and dry the other side...?
I’m going to be new to boat ownership. Do you take this cleaning step after every use? And what about areas like inside battery box etc? What do you do in those areas to keep them clean and free of corrosives? This is a great video so thank you.
Thanks so much! There’s no reason to go this in depth, after every single use, but I would definitely do this kind of cleaning at least every two weeks, especially if you’re in saltwater.
Thanks! Amazing response time. Your videos are a god send for new boaters as well as seasoned professionals. Keep it up! If I ever get my boat to the gulf shore for some time, I will definitely look you up!
Hi Drake. I just bought my first little old boat (I am in Canada) and it was all chalky and dull. I used your tips (wet sanding, rotary buffer, products, etc.) to make it shiny again (well, as shiny as a 1992 boat can get). Spent hours and hours working on it (elbow grease galore, not to mention the buffer experience - yikes!). It is looking much better now. Thanks for showing me how to maintain all my hard work. I love your videos and am always anxiously waiting for the next one!
So much great info here, thanks for putting it together. What do you use on boat glass to clean? Will the Bead Maker work to coat it after it's clean? I have aftermarket carpet in my boat, what do you recommend to clean and how to apply (hose, brush, pressure washer, etc)? Thanks again.
Hey bro! I’d it’s snap in carpet a pressure washer will work just fine. As for glass, try some shine supply glass polish! shinesupply.com/products/glass-polish?_pos=1&_sid=dc8c18957&_ss=r Use my Discount code: DRAKE15 code. I earn a small commission that helps me and my family out. 😎
Hey Drake I just started detailing myself can you make a video specifically on getting rust off stainless steel?? Thanks pal keep up the great work the boats look awesome 🤙
Our boat is on a lift all season and we rent the lift space from a neighbor so I don't have a hose to use readily. I keep 303 cleaner/microfiber cloth on board for interior and a big sponge and use lake water to wipe down the exterior while coving out as the kids play. What products can I use to clean & maintain since our boat in either on the lift or floating in the water that will keep it nice but safe for the watershed?
Hi nice video. I have had clients in the past complaining about how dull the boat was after a few weeks only to find out there were cleaning the boat with dishwasher soap 🤦♂️ This is a regular cleaning of the boat how long does it take overall and how do you charge if you want to share the information?
Ok i have a question.. is SiO2 different than ceramic? I use that mckees Hydro Pearl but I also see they have a spray ceramic.. so do I wax the boat first and then can I apply SiO2 several times a year? I guess when do I use what and how much? I’m at fresh water boater and get to lake maybe 10 weekends a year
To make this super simple, Ceramic Coating is great at stopping UV damage ( oxidation ). Sio2 is great at water beading and keeping the surface easy to clean. Even if you were to apply the ceramic coating, I Would still recommend you apply the sio2 every few months.
Yes, kinda! Wash boat with nautical one ceramic was and wax soap. It’s an Si02 soap! don’t use purple power or degreasers on the non skid. Only use dawn on the non skid. Degreaser will hurt the coating, dawn will not
Can you use orpine wash and wax in a spray bottle diluted with water to use at the lake to wipe down the boat and take water spots off. Or does it need to be washed away with water after applying?
Wonderful videos. As part of maintaining my boat I’ve noticed some white marks (wax residue) on the black rub rail. Best product to remove this? Thanks for your insight. Sorry if you covered this already elsewhere.
I purchased the items you recommended see below can I use them on the whole boat I also bought the hydrorinse sio2 and the bead maker is there anything else I need THANKS
Those 2 products are great. If you bought them already use them as directed in the video. But I just came across replenish about 3 months ago and it’s been amazing. You can spray it on like the Si02 hydro or wipe it in like the bead maker. One product 2 different applications . drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/collections/starke-surface-technology/products/starke-replenish-silica-spray
Hey man boats at a marina here in Pensacola and I have some rash from bumpers and such. If I use a polish to buff out these marks should I rewash the boat after with dawn then apply the jescar or apply the jescar over top?
how do you remove stains from leaves? I have a brand new blue wave with stains in it from the pecan tree near it. I am working on a cover, but how do I remove the stains without damaging gel?
Hey man! This glass polish my strake is awesome!!🔥🔥 drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/collections/starke-surface-technology/products/starke-crystal-clear-glass-polish?_pos=1&_sid=136e4bf4c&_ss=r
Love your video series. Quick question: any suggestions for how best to get the McKees product sprayed on the sides when the boat is on a lift? I have a 32 sea vee so it can be a bot challenging to lean over and get the spray to hit the whole side
Hi Drake, 16 year old just getting into boat washing for my local marina. If a boat has been waxed with Carnuba wax, will the SiO2 spray enhance that Carnuba wax?
Thanks for this. I just purchased four items from your list, subscribed and liked the video. Can you let me know, is the pole you recommend ok for use with salt water?
I just found your videos a few days ago and have really enjoyed them. I have a 20 foot palm beach cc. The nonskid in it isn’t like most of the bigger more expensive boats it’s textured but not like in a raised pattern it’s more of a gritty feel. I never new about waxing or sealing the nonskid till just recently. And yes I was one to spray bleach on it to remove the stains so you can just imagine how dirty it gets and how hard it is to clean. Could you give me the list of things I would need to do to get it back like it should be?? It’s not chalky to the point that it rubs off on your hands or clothes but I know it’s got to be pretty bad. Having a professional do it is not something I can do so I’d really appreciate any help you can give. Thanks bud. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos
Thanks for the comment! so to restore the shine to the non skid, you can use a rotary buffer with a white wool cutting pad. I'd use the wool pad with This amzn.to/3hyBHFf, follow it up with this on another wool pad amzn.to/2FKbMwQ then you can wax it with the jescar power lock or this stuff non skid sealer amzn.to/2FAHq09 This will restore the shine and seal it back up. You can also top it off with hydro pearl
Drake, What should be the sequence of cleaning when you are doing both the inside and outside of a boat including waxing. I just bought my first boat and want to clean her up really nice before I put her in the water and I don’t want to have to redo things because my “sequencing” was wrong. Thanks!
th-cam.com/video/mji0TEhkr3w/w-d-xo.html you can do the steps In this video inside and out. After about 2 weeks or a months do the steps in this video! Thanks !
Thanks Drake! I've been waiting for this video to come out after our messages. I've already ordered three of the products below. What about the windscreen and isinglass?
Hey bud i really enjoy your vids, supper helpful. I am currently in the process of buying a 40’ Tiara, that has been neglected for the past few months. I would like to hire you to give it a nice detail, and get started on the right foot. How can i get in contact with you for a quote?
Great video's !! My question is I was under the impression that the magic eraser would harm the non skid decks and actually remove the non skid is this true?
no sir, I and plenty of other detailers have been using them for years without any issues. They will help remove stubborn stains, but always re-protect the nonskid after you do the steps. Thanks
Great stuff man. Thanks for links. I bought a couple of products. I wanna get away from bucket and brush to save some time. I like the idea of a foam cannon but Orpine comes in that gel consistency only so I guessed it would not work in a foam cannon. Anyway long term user of orpine and I don’t want to substitute a liquid just to use a foam cannon. Advice??
🙌🙌🙌🙌 Awesome vídeos liked, subscribed, turned on notifications Thanks for all this vídeos been doing everything wrong😂😂😂 Please make a vídeo how clean interior boat cabinets, also motors Also a jetsky 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hyper hold sealant would be best on a wrap! Apply the same way. drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/products/starke-hyper-hold-polymer-sealant?_pos=1&_sid=658f40f5a&_ss=r I’d also recommend pure clean because it’s ph balanced, it won’t hurt the wrap. drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/products/starke-pure-clean-boat-soap?_pos=1&_sid=09eeaa404&_ss=r

Off topic question but do you have any tips for removing bird poop from the non skid? Sometimes it seems cemented in and can only be removed by scratching it out with my fingernail
A Hard Bristle Brush will work best! After you clean the non skid, you want to put some type of protectant down so the poop can't keep binding into the floors... you can seal your floors with jescer power lock, and then spray Mckees 37 hydro pearl on top of it like I did in this video!
Great video but I am somehow getting drastically different results. Purchased all your recommendations including the hand sponge to wash the boat. Did exactly what you explained. It honestly looked better prior to washing it. I’m sure I am doing something wrong, as I can clearly see your results are amazing. I have a 2022 Yamaha 195s so there shouldn’t be any oxidation on it it looks like water spots running down the boat. Wish I could attach a photo. Any ideas?
Problem....I put some of that blue toilet sanitizer into my head unit and thought it was 100% flushed down into the tank..it wasn't! I then went out and the blue stuff bounced out of the tank stained all of the internal walls. I can't seem to get it off the fiberglass with normal cleansers. What should I do?
If it’s just regular fiberglass walls, you can try a little bit of acetone. If that does not work then you may need to try some compound with a buffer. Or even some rubbing compound on a microfiber rag may work as well. I’d have to see it to really be able to tell you what to do. So, try some acetone on a white rag, or some rubbing compound on a rack and that may work.
I personally have never had to deal with winter storage... Are you referring to mold and mildew occurring once it’s been winterized under a wrap or a cover?
Mold will occur with moisture, as long as you make sure the boat is completely dry you shouldn't get mold. I personally don't love covers, but a cover is better than letting your boat bake in the sun day in and day out.
@@DrakesDetailing thanks for the reply! I am in south florida - its impossible to keep it dry. Every morning theres so much dew the boat and cars always all wet. Would you recommend no cover in that case? Im getting some mold here and there and im scare it will become a big thing
The best case would be to get a over hang that the boat can sit under to keep the sun off of it. If that's a no go, I would try the cover and put a few of these in the boat amzn.to/381dtR7
God bless you brother. You are an inspiration to many. I pray the Lord will open the floodgates of heaven and pour down on you and your family. Keep up the videos... Thanks from St Simon Island, Georgia
If a customer only wants me to come out once to do this job it’s $15 a foot! But if they want me to come out once a month and do it I charge them $10 a foot
I hear ya! The last two years all I did was big sport fishers 50 to 90 footers. This year it seems like all I’m getting are the smaller 20 somethings honestly it’s been super nice!
Drake's DetailingI like the black, Maybe I’ll give it a try! You’re the man, I’ve learned a lot from you I appreciate it! I’m doing a 38 footer in Tawas Michigan. It’s my biggest boat yet. Thanks brother
super high quality videos man. This channel will eventually blow up.
I’m praying! Haha thanks

This is exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate it bro, good work!
Thanks! Glad it helped!
How do you approach washing when boat is in the water? That is, if only have land access to one side how do you properly clean and dry the other side...?
So my understanding is that there is no issue using an si02 coating over a polymer sealant?
Correct. Sio2 provides good up keep of the polymere sealant
I’m going to be new to boat ownership. Do you take this cleaning step after every use? And what about areas like inside battery box etc? What do you do in those areas to keep them clean and free of corrosives? This is a great video so thank you.
Thanks so much! There’s no reason to go this in depth, after every single use, but I would definitely do this kind of cleaning at least every two weeks, especially if you’re in saltwater.

Great video! I enjoy watching your content. Keep it up. 👍
Thank you so much!
My black hull is pretty good, no holograms or fine scratches under the lights. Can I just apply Jescar Power Lock with a White foam pad?
Yes!
Thanks for another great video. Will Jescar sealant properly bond to a surface that was washed with Orphine?
Yes it will work! May not be best case but it will be fine
Hi nice video. I have had clients in the past complaining about how dull the boat was after a few weeks only to find out there were cleaning the boat with dishwasher soap 🤦♂️
This is a regular cleaning of the boat how long does it take overall and how do you charge if you want to share the information?
Should Only take about 2 maybe 3 hours if done once a month.

Just what I needed. Thanks for the info
You’re welcome!
If the boat is ceramic coated are these steps and products still your recommendations for maintaining the boat between details?
Yes, kinda! Wash boat with nautical one ceramic was and wax soap. It’s an Si02 soap! don’t use purple power or degreasers on the non skid. Only use dawn on the non skid.
Degreaser will hurt the coating, dawn will not
Thanks so much! So, for maintaining a ceramic coated boat you recommend:
🔥 Step 1 Wash!
- Nautical One Ceramic Wash and Wax Soap
- Wash Mitt
- Wash Brush ( Floors Only if needed)
- Dawn ( Floors Only if needed)
- Magic Erasers
🔥 Step 2 Protect Gel Coat, Paint and Non Skid!
- Mckees 37 Hydro Peal
🔥 Step 3 Dry!
- Drying Towel
🔥 Step 4 Metal, Compartments and Console!
- Bead Maker ( isinglass, compartments, console)
- Woody Wax ( For metal and Stainless)
- Micro Fibers
🔥 Step 5 Protect Seats!
- 303 Vinyl Protectant
- Micro Fibers
Yes that’s correct!

Thanks great video, very informative! ? what good for glass on center console?
Hey man! This glass polish my strake is awesome!!🔥🔥 drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/collections/starke-surface-technology/products/starke-crystal-clear-glass-polish?_pos=1&_sid=136e4bf4c&_ss=r
Awesome vid and really informative. What is your water to purple power ratio used for your dilution solution on the floors?
3 parts water one part purple power
If you already have a polymer sealant on should you still spray with SiO2 coating after you take the boat out of the water?
Sure! That will help the polymer last longer!
How about using Murphy's Oil Soap? Is that a similar product to what you are using?
Love your video series. Quick question: any suggestions for how best to get the McKees product sprayed on the sides when the boat is on a lift? I have a 32 sea vee so it can be a bot challenging to lean over and get the spray to hit the whole side
You can put it in a pump sprayer! It shoots a lot farther than the bottle
Hi Drake, 16 year old just getting into boat washing for my local marina. If a boat has been waxed with Carnuba wax, will the SiO2 spray enhance that Carnuba wax?
Yes
Thanks for this. I just purchased four items from your list, subscribed and liked the video. Can you let me know, is the pole you recommend ok for use with salt water?
Loved this one man 🙌🏾 have clients ask me all the time I'll send them this video 💪🏾
Thanks Bro!!! That’s actually why I made this one ha
I just found your videos a few days ago and have really enjoyed them. I have a 20 foot palm beach cc. The nonskid in it isn’t like most of the bigger more expensive boats it’s textured but not like in a raised pattern it’s more of a gritty feel. I never new about waxing or sealing the nonskid till just recently. And yes I was one to spray bleach on it to remove the stains so you can just imagine how dirty it gets and how hard it is to clean.
Could you give me the list of things I would need to do to get it back like it should be?? It’s not chalky to the point that it rubs off on your hands or clothes but I know it’s got to be pretty bad. Having a professional do it is not something I can do so I’d really appreciate any help you can give. Thanks bud. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos
Thanks for the comment! so to restore the shine to the non skid, you can use a rotary buffer with a white wool cutting pad. I'd use the wool pad with This amzn.to/3hyBHFf, follow it up with this on another wool pad amzn.to/2FKbMwQ then you can wax it with the jescar power lock or this stuff non skid sealer amzn.to/2FAHq09
This will restore the shine and seal it back up. You can also top it off with hydro pearl
Thank you for the information I really appreciate it. I had no idea what I was needing to do.
You’re welcome!
Do you ever put Orpine in the foam cannon?
You're the best I always like your videos thank you for everything
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Would you advise to have the t tops powder coated? I am getting d new boat and would like to know what is best for maintaining that new look.
Yes powder coated is the way to go!
Any tips to determine if it's marine paint or gel coat?
A lot of times you can feel it, gel coat will get much chalkier if it’s oxidized, paint does not oxidize as quickly.
Drake, What should be the sequence of cleaning when you are doing both the inside and outside of a boat including waxing. I just bought my first boat and want to clean her up really nice before I put her in the water and I don’t want to have to redo things because my “sequencing” was wrong. Thanks!
th-cam.com/video/mji0TEhkr3w/w-d-xo.html you can do the steps In this video inside and out. After about 2 weeks or a months do the steps in this video! Thanks !
I got powder coat, I’ve heard horrors stories about it chipping and flaking. Any specific Protestants I should use on powder coatings?
Is salt gone spray ok to use? They say its PH neutral.
Thanks Drake! I've been waiting for this video to come out after our messages. I've already ordered three of the products below. What about the windscreen and isinglass?
Awesome! You can use the Bead maker on the isinglass and windscreen
Thanks for the video. So when would you recommend using salt away? Is there ever a reason to use something like this on the haul?
Yes it’s a great way to get the saltwater off of the baot while not hurting the sealant
Hey bud i really enjoy your vids, supper helpful. I am currently in the process of buying a 40’ Tiara, that has been neglected for the past few months. I would like to hire you to give it a nice detail, and get started on the right foot. How can i get in contact with you for a quote?
Hey bro! You can DM me on my Instagram @drakes.detailing Are you in California? I moved to Cali a while ago, not detailing in FL anymore
Have you tried “hot sauce”? If so do you like it? We’re new boat owners and purchased that.
I actually haven’t tried that product yet, I have heard mixed review on it! Sorry I can’t help more
No problem. Thanks anyways! It’s pricey and seems to work but I would love to find one not as expensive since we use it at least once a week.
www.nautical1.com/n1-300.html This is another good option, may be a little cheaper as well!
Thanks for all the info! All my aluminum is grey textured powder coat. Would you still recommend the Bead Maker or would you use something else?
This product is better than bead maker!
drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/products/starke-replenish-silica-spray?_pos=1&_sid=c1abab91d&_ss=r
Hey man, trying to avoid stripping wax. What are your thoughts on Woody Wash? Does Purple Power strip the wax?
Purple power will take it off, woody wax soap is great!
Great video's !! My question is I was under the impression that the magic eraser would harm the non skid decks and actually remove the non skid is this true?
no sir, I and plenty of other detailers have been using them for years without any issues. They will help remove stubborn stains, but always re-protect the nonskid after you do the steps. Thanks

Anyway long term user of orpine and I don’t want to substitute a liquid just to use a foam cannon. Advice??
Orpine will work in a foam cannon! :) just shake it up really good!
Great video man! What do you recommend for moldy caulk?
try some bleach, if that doesn't work, you may need to take it out and re caulk
Drake, if you come across moldy caulk, could you try some CLR bathroom cleaner and let us know the results?
Would you recommend woody wax?
Hey bro, yes, you can still use 40 wax. It’s great for metals, and other stuff at the home. ;)
🙌🙌🙌🙌 Awesome vídeos liked, subscribed, turned on notifications
Thanks for all this vídeos been doing everything wrong😂😂😂
Please make a vídeo how clean interior boat cabinets, also motors
Also a jetsky 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the encouragement!!!! I’ll try to get a video like that out there for you in the future! 😎
My boat has a wrap on the hull what do I use to clean and wax please
Hyper hold sealant would be best on a wrap! Apply the same way.
drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/products/starke-hyper-hold-polymer-sealant?_pos=1&_sid=658f40f5a&_ss=r
I’d also recommend pure clean because it’s ph balanced, it won’t hurt the wrap.
drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/products/starke-pure-clean-boat-soap?_pos=1&_sid=09eeaa404&_ss=r
Thanks I bought 2 items you recommended can I use them on the rest of the boat or something else it’s a 42 yellowfin
Those 2 products are great. If you bought them already use them as directed in the video.
But I just came across replenish about 3 months ago and it’s been amazing.
You can spray it on like the Si02 hydro or wipe it in like the bead maker.
One product 2 different applications .
drakesmarinedetailsupply.com/collections/starke-surface-technology/products/starke-replenish-silica-spray
Can I use the hyper poly and pure wash you recommended on the boat wrap on the entire boat ?
Yes you can
Off topic question but do you have any tips for removing bird poop from the non skid? Sometimes it seems cemented in and can only be removed by scratching it out with my fingernail
A Hard Bristle Brush will work best! After you clean the non skid, you want to put some type of protectant down so the poop can't keep binding into the floors... you can seal your floors with jescer power lock, and then spray Mckees 37 hydro pearl on top of it like I did in this video!
Drake, Good on ceramic coated boats too?
Yes! you need to maintain your ceramic coating with monthly washes and maintenance! 🔥
Great video but I am somehow getting drastically different results. Purchased all your recommendations including the hand sponge to wash the boat. Did exactly what you explained. It honestly looked better prior to washing it. I’m sure I am doing something wrong, as I can clearly see your results are amazing. I have a 2022 Yamaha 195s so there shouldn’t be any oxidation on it it looks like water spots running down the boat. Wish I could attach a photo. Any ideas?
Is your boat a darker color ?
@@DrakesDetailing it is, yes, Black. It almost looks like I didn’t get all the soap off
No salt-away you said? Didn't know it would strip off wax.
It can over time
Great informative video
Thanks bro!!
Salt Away should not remove wax?
It will over time
Problem....I put some of that blue toilet sanitizer into my head unit and thought it was 100% flushed down into the tank..it wasn't! I then went out and the blue stuff bounced out of the tank stained all of the internal walls. I can't seem to get it off the fiberglass with normal cleansers. What should I do?
If it’s just regular fiberglass walls, you can try a little bit of acetone. If that does not work then you may need to try some compound with a buffer. Or even some rubbing compound on a microfiber rag may work as well. I’d have to see it to really be able to tell you what to do. So, try some acetone on a white rag, or some rubbing compound on a rack and that may work.
So purple power doesn’t strip wax on your non skid?
Yes, it Will strip any wax and/or sealant that is applied to the gel coat. My reason for using is to strip the wax/sealant before you apply a new one.
@@DrakesDetailing gotcha thx
Anytime! Feel free to DM me or drop another comment if you ever have any other questions! 😎
Help my friend, how much can I charge for a 21 foot boat?
Wondering what you would use for winter storage on protecting the boat from mold / mildew?
I personally have never had to deal with winter storage...
Are you referring to mold and mildew occurring once it’s been winterized under a wrap or a cover?
For your deck nothing wrong with magic eraser or barkeepers friends on hard spots like grease or bloods stains
As long as you follow up with good sealant
Nice vid. But BeadMaker is not sio2. Just a sealant. Still a great product but not ceramic based.
Thanks for the feedback! Looks like I got it wrong, still a good product for what I used it for!
How do these products interact with a cover on the boat? Will they grow mold? What's your take on covers? Thanks!
Mold will occur with moisture, as long as you make sure the boat is completely dry you shouldn't get mold. I personally don't love covers, but a cover is better than letting your boat bake in the sun day in and day out.
@@DrakesDetailing thanks for the reply! I am in south florida - its impossible to keep it dry. Every morning theres so much dew the boat and cars always all wet. Would you recommend no cover in that case? Im getting some mold here and there and im scare it will become a big thing
The best case would be to get a over hang that the boat can sit under to keep the sun off of it. If that's a no go, I would try the cover and put a few of these in the boat amzn.to/381dtR7
@@DrakesDetailing Thanks!
No problem
I have a brand new boat, what should i do? I want to protect it properly
Hey bro! Keep her waxed every 4 months 😎
Do you ever use a foam cannon on boats?
Yes !
Thanks for another great video Drake! I have been enjoying your content for the past few weeks since I found your channel.
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching!!
God bless you brother. You are an inspiration to many. I pray the Lord will open the floodgates of heaven and pour down on you and your family. Keep up the videos... Thanks from St Simon Island, Georgia
Wow thank you so much for that!!
Can you foam cannon the OrPine
Sure!
How much are you charging per foot for this service?
If a customer only wants me to come out once to do this job it’s $15 a foot! But if they want me to come out once a month and do it I charge them $10 a foot
@@DrakesDetailing Thanks for the insight! Would you move up to $25/ft if you were going to apply Jesscar Sealant?
Yes exactly!
What kind of glasses you have on lol :)
They were Coasta’s, but I forget which kind
Bro i wish I was getting clients with 15-30ft center consoles, all my clients have 40-50ft carvers, sea rays and all that lolol
I hear ya! The last two years all I did was big sport fishers 50 to 90 footers. This year it seems like all I’m getting are the smaller 20 somethings honestly it’s been super nice!
Can I use car soap ?
Sure!
Salt away? Dang it been using that for a month now
Yes, it’s a great product!
Ha this video answered most my questions.. sorry man
awesome!
Don’t you get hot wearing the black clothes down there?
Nah, my shirts are super breathable.
Drake's DetailingI like the black, Maybe I’ll give it a try! You’re the man, I’ve learned a lot from you I appreciate it! I’m doing a 38 footer in Tawas Michigan. It’s my biggest boat yet. Thanks brother
Awesome! I’m glad I can help you!
