Started using Shine Supply after watching your videos on our older boat. Super easy products that have transformed the boat. Heavy cut with microfiber on a DA, then wakeup with an orange pad on the DA, followed by Punch-it. Made our 20 year old black boat shine. It would be great to have a series on what products from Shine Supply to use on campers and how to tackle them. The decals on campers always seem a little more sketchy to use with any powered buffer or DA. They don't seem to be as high quality.

[@DrakesDetailing]

Yeah, the decals on boats definitely hold up a lot better to buffing. Thanks for you positive review on shine supply!!! They have amazing products and they are amazing people!

[@robertpapich]

Stay off the decals on the RV but you can use a magic eraser and maybe purple power to clean them. I have a decent detail business in south Florida. Drake has taught me many useful methods.

[@robertmixon8866]

NICE!

[@DrakesDetailing]

Thanks!

[@roccofalvello8057]

Always good to see your vids! What do you use for these type of washes to protect the non-skid after your wash? I saw you using Punch It on the insides but not non-skid. Thanks!

[@DrakesDetailing]

[@brianbrown4395]

Hey really enjoying your videos. What is the best way to clean gator step / sea deck?

[@DrakesDetailing]

Light degreaser, water and a really stiff brush

[@OriginalPlatypusfetch]

Great video! A question I have is, how do you get under the bunks of the trailer?

[@DrakesDetailing]

That part does not get done unless it’s specified and is extra $$. But it would need to be lifted off of the trailer and put on Jack stands

[@whitroach4131]

Thanks for making these. They have really helped. One thing I haven't seen is if you use any different techniques/products for boats that have been Awlgripped. When they painted my hull they told me to only use Awlwash and Awlcare. I get spots from hard well water that I can't completely dry with my squeegee when it's in the water. What would you recommend to remove, polish and protect an Awlgripped boat? I've always used a wool pad on my Dewalt until recently watching your vids about pads.

[@DrakesDetailing]

Hey bro! With Awlgrip, it’s best to go with their own products for maintenance because it’s their own product.

[@HarrisonG13]

Hi Drake, looking into boat cleaning and came across your videos awesome stuff!! Do have one question, we are going to be trailering extensive amounts with boat, wondering if you could elaborate provide advice on removing bugs and road debris from boat from road travel(I'm thinking bugs splattered on tower, etc.). If there is any additional products or if its just good elbow grease and washing with Shift Soap, and if there is any tools. I know bugs/road grim can be tough to handle from cleaning vehicles, I typically use a degreaser for stubborn spots, with boat we would have a ceramic coating.

[@DrakesDetailing]

Hey bro! If you plan to trailer the boat, I’d recommend that you do a ceramic coating. The bugs will come off with just a light rinse! However if you just have a sealed/waxed boat, shine supply makes a good big remover. shinesupply.com/products/bug-off

[@HarrisonG13]

@@DrakesDetailing Thanks for the advice! I think our plan is to use a ceramic coating for boat so maybe I'm over complicating it. Just wanting that year round shine!! 😁

[@kevingrenville5903]

What about things like salt away or salty captain. Thanks mate

[@DrakesDetailing]

Feel free to use it as long as it will not hurt or strip your sealant

[@scottschultz5180]

Hey man would love to see your tips on buffing in between the letters of the boat make/model if you know what I mean?

[@DrakesDetailing]

Hey bro! I don’t have a video on that in particular. However, in some places, you just need to blend it in by hand and make it look the best you can. Or, you can invest in a mini machine, much like the one Rupes makes: www.rupes.com/product/lhr75e/

[@scottschultz5180]

@@DrakesDetailing thanks for the response Drake! So I do run that 3 inch Rupes machine and also use the mini ibrid Rupes machines as well but trying to get a little bit better with it. But I have come to conclusion that it won’t be perfect without removing the letters and being able to really buff that area out. Here’s another ones for you, any tips for in between the cleats? Or do you resort to blending as well?

Hi drake, how would you go about getting scratches out of metal rub rail ?

[@DrakesDetailing]

Try some metal polish on a wool buffer

[@trippfinnerty1484]

Hey man Love the videos and your work!! Will denatured alcohol take away black scuff lines on the hull? Kind of nervous and also wondering about if I do other boats with painted surfaces that it's safe and won't ruin the finish.

[@DrakesDetailing]

Hey bro, yes it will take the black marks away, but it will strip your wax right off the boat. If you are doing a deep clean before you buff and wax it’s okay, but once you buff, polish and seal your boat you cannot use it because it will ruin the finish

[@trippfinnerty1484]

@@DrakesDetailing Thank you!! Really appreciate it!!

[@kidiraq8381]

1st time here. What do you recommend for an outboard? Also, I have a 2022 Ranger 188P. Can I wash/wax it the same as a fiberglass? Thanks! I boat all the time so hopefully I learn something here! God Bless!

[@DrakesDetailing]

Thanks so much, bro! Yes, rangers should be fiberglass so all normal processes should still apply. For an outboard motor, the paint is usually send on those so I would recommend just washing it with regular both soap, and then using a TA polisher to wax it for protectant.

[@nickjames80]

What product do you use to wash the sea deck? i saw you wash it in a video with the blue brush but can't find it to refrence.

[@DrakesDetailing]

Hey bro, if you want to clean Sedek really well before you detail about, you can take Zep, purple, degreaser, and a short, bristle, stiff Libman brush. It works amazingly. However, be careful if you’re doing it around a sealed surface as the degreaser could strip the wax from the nearby surface.

[@user-yx6vz5vr3v]

Hey Drake. What is the best pressure washer for boat detailing? I’m a brand new business and I want to buy a good one 😊

[@DrakesDetailing]

You don’t need a super powerful one. An electric one from Hope Depot will do the trick. If you get with with too high of a PSI you run the risk of damaging vinyl seats, and other important components of the boat. Here’s the pressure washing gun I use. www.detailedimage.com/DI-Accessories-M12/MTM-Hydro-Easy-Hold-SGS28-Spray-Gun-P2473/

hi, I live in Spain so I don't have access to that products, which one do you recomend in this region

Long time subscriber here. Are you still use some other brands like Menzerna or Jescar beside Shine Supply? I'm quite sure there are quite a lot of us, your followers from Europe with a bit different products out here. Do you think to make some reviews of other then Shine Supply products?

Hi Drake, I'm detailing my first boat. The boat is covered in water spots. I buffed them off with a foam cutting pad and Adams compound. The spots came off, but now there is a haze that won't come off with polish. I tried using several different pads, and polishes, including Adams one step, but the haze is still there. Any thoughts?

[@holdenbaldassi3697]

Wash it again or isopropyl alcohal wipe.

[@johnschiesser144]

I did a prep wipe. I detail cars, and I understand that process, but I've never worked jelcoat. Tried polishing with a heavy cut compound, and pad. Then tried a polish to remove the haze. Knocked down some of the haze, but still not clear. I used a prep wipe between steps.

[@DrakesDetailing]

Do a second round of the heaviest cut compound you can

[@marcusa4846]

Can you detail a wrapped boat? Like polish and wax?

[@DrakesDetailing]

Absolutely! You can swirl remove the wrap with a light compound and/or polish, then seal it
