Default Re: Marine 31 Boat Detailing Class - Saturday February 6th, 2016

Just to note... this class is SOLD OUT!





Next class is this time next year so mark your calender and get signed up.





The boat for our boat detailing class arrived today and I took some pictures to document the before condition.


Here she is out in front of Autogeek's Show Car Garage where we teach all our boat and car detailing classes in a fully functional and stocked detailing shop plus its air conditioned!





This picture is called...

Framing up the shot




Now I've zoomed in to show you the damage to the gel-coat from the South Florida sun and marine environment.

Oxidation









Streaks
You can also see streaks in the gel-coat that are "in" the gel-coat not simply "on" the gel-coat.





My friend Mark Dixon brought the boat down for the owner. Most boat guys can back a boat into anything and anywhere.





And here she is ready for the class on Saturday.






The oxidation isn't as apparent under the overhead florescent lights but it's there just the same as documented with the outdoor pictures.





Hologram Scratches
Here's some light to reveal the dull, oxidized gel-coat PLUS the holograms in the gel-coat finish instilled by a wool pad on a rotary buffer.





The lines you see in the gel-coat going side-to-side copy the direction the rotary buffer was moved side-to-side when the boat was last buffed about a year ago.




Here you can see more signs of holograms....




Here you can see oxidation, holograms and the ghosting left by some vinyl graphics that have been removed.
