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 ..

[@DrakesDetailing]

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! 💯

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.

[@DrakesDetailing]

Hey bro! Very cool! It’s a lot of hard work for sure, but it’s very rewarding!

[@sauceymeatwad2856]

You’re the Sheppard for the boat detailing community and we appreciate you🍾🍾🎊🏄🏻‍♂️🤙 thanks for the awesome videos you really change lives! Thanks again

[@sauceymeatwad2856]

FYI I don’t use the word goat anymore the fact that we’ve made that mean your the best at what you do is an abomination

[@DrakesDetailing]

Ha ha, thanks bro I appreciate all the support! It does my heart good to know that my videos are helping people😎

[@mikethornton6686]

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]

Hey bro, I’d use a light compound as a polish, then seal and see how it comes out. 😎

[@cbowenjr72]

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

[@DrakesDetailing]

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.

[@PolishedMobileDetailing503]

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 !!

[@DrakesDetailing]

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.

[@PolishedMobileDetailing503]

@@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”

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

[@DrakesDetailing]

I should reach out to them! I didn't think about Canada sorry! ha

[@williammcconico7699]

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?

[@DrakesDetailing]

Hey bro! You’d apply Jescar powerlock first, then you can use clutch as a topper over that if you’d like to.

[@williammcconico7699]

@@DrakesDetailing thanks getting on that today!

[@BelovedPeaceValley]

How much did you charge for detailing this boat and how many feet is it?

[@DrakesDetailing]

$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

[@RollTide81406]

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!

[@DrakesDetailing]

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 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqqwemttr896nKs

[@user-xb3be7db8e]

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!

[@DrakesDetailing]

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.

[@stef975]

Drake, can I use jescar powerlock on painted hulls? Like awlgrip.

[@DrakesDetailing]

Yes!

@@DrakesDetailing thank you so much. Started using the Jescar last year. Pretty awesome and lasted all season here in South Jersey.

[@KM.130]

So I’ll be adding these drying towels to my list also.

[@lennymcmillion]

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?

[@DrakesDetailing]

I’d try a good metal polish, maybe something with some grit in it. Is it pitting or is it just dull?

[@carrsoncollins3717]

Taping the metal takes forever. What do you do about the black soot when buffing over or around the metal?

[@DrakesDetailing]

I just use a light degreaser to remove it before I seal the surface.

[@carrsoncollins3717]

@@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?

How long do you expect the blue to last given ideal maintenance?

[@DrakesDetailing]

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

[@Owenwilsonsnose386]

@@DrakesDetailing nice!

[@amrautospa]

How much do you charge to polish and coat a boat ? I saw you charge 85 ft for buff and shine

[@DrakesDetailing]

I do my pricing per foot, per step. Typically anywhere from $20-$25 per foot per step.

[@danieldowdell5898]

Would power lock, clutch, then punch it be the correct order?

[@DrakesDetailing]

Yes!

[@user-ls1mm5dg3w]

Hi Drake, I can’t found the jescar wax in Italy have you got a different brand to give it to me?

[@raycreighton5042]

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?

[@quedogkualum]

What detail brushes are you using

[@DrakesDetailing]

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.

[@TheBeep818]

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]

Get yourself some shine supply chop Top and wake up, minimum $15 per foot & follow drakes steps.

[@TheBeep818]

@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]

He hit it right on the head! And yes, $15 per foot per step.

[@TheBeep818]

@@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.
