[Dude! Sweet!]

I just got my boat detailed and to be honest, if you're the type of person willing to put that effort into the boat, you'll probably end up being disappointed. I pulled the cover off after and was really suprised to see how little they did. I spent the morning after cleaning the boat again myself...

[.38Special]

I agree. I have spent a lot of money trying out several different detail shops. This year the wife and I did it ourselves. I ordered the Leverage Marine kit and the boat looks awesome. Well worth our time and effort, it's the best it's ever looked because I took the time to get all the little nooks and crannies.

I bought on of those "speed balls" designed to be used on and electric drill. Works great for getting into small areas etc.

I feel your pain, just spent 12 hours doing hull sides,the rub rail to water line. On a customers boat , and it was only a 29'. You going to be in South haven for Harbor fest next month? We have a big crew showing up.

[cigdaze]

I know the feeling...last month, I spent two entire weekends (literally) detailing the boat inside and out. But man, what a satisfying job. I've paid people to do it before, but it's never looked so good, as doing it myself.
:cool:

[redhotsommer]

Tomorrow I start the process...only I'll post pics!

tom thats great news. always room for you. it would have to be over the weekend. ring me when you get in. maybe we can have some cocktails during the week. see you soon.

todd

[BlackJack58]

Of course we all want to get into the water, but half the fun is having the boat in the driveway for a week or so, so I can clean, wax, detail and consider what other upgrades I'd like to do over the summer. Even the neighbor next door comes over and we hoist some of the little neighborhood kids up into the boat (sans shoes) and let 'em play "Boat Captain" for a little bit...:)

"Hey Tommy - be careful. Let me know when you're ready to come down off the boat.."

"Sissy - please put that bottle of vodka back in the cabin where you found it..."

"Josh! Keep your f*ckin' hands off the shifter and leave those g*ddamn trim tabs alone!"

[Doug1]

i only know how to do 38'.

todd

Ha Todd, With all that expereance on a 38 and a Cigarette @ that think you could give mine a little shine ?

[BBB725]

I had a friend that raced sail boats and put woolite on the bottom the night before a race. I have no idea why or if it works.

hi doug

i don't think you could get any more shine out or yours. that bad boy is clean. hope to hook up again this year. lake mich this time.

todd

[detail toyz]

Thats too bad. I have a detailing business and I go over each boat with the customer when Im done just to make sure, and so that I can have another set of eyes looking at it. I do whatever it takes to cover each surface, and every inch.

[redhotsommer]

Got the deck done last night...de-oxidizer followed by polish followed by pure carnuba followed by Meguiar's Flagship premium marine wax. Had to take like three pictures before I could even keep the camera's focus from slipping off! :) :26:

[redhotsommer]

Now all I need to do is fix THIS and I can go boating...

[Magic Medicine]

Lookin good Mikey!

[baronmarine]

wow mike

i had to put my shades on just to look at your pic's. i know about that sliping off the deck. i almost slid off mine last night cleaning the hatch gutters. thank god for bow rails.

todd

todd

[baronmarine]

and a couple more.

todd

[redhotsommer]

I only do my 4 step process on the deck...the rest I just wax. Probably spend twice as much time on the deck as I do the rest of the boat, but I gotta try and keep that red looking as red as possible.

[redhotsommer]

WHO's going to fix this??

You are going to fix it. You broke it! :sifone:

Boat looks GREAT Todd! What's it got for power, anyway?

Well...spent about 12 hrs buffing and waxing this past weekend....was kind of mad when I realized that this was the best the boat was going to look all summer and I didn't have a camera with me. The Leverage products worked out great. This week I have to get the interior done, then a little work on the trailer and I will be all good to splash this weekend!
