Channel Title: Local boydidgood Channel Description: going on 20 years of this. What I demonstrate in my videos is the same thing that helped build the 2nd largest boat detailing company in the nation, because it made customers happy and gave us the time and money to hire/train and retain good employees and keep growing. Good luck doing that with Wetsanding only. I do smaller boats now but the thinking is the same; more happy customers, less cost/effort and a growing business. You can make mistakes with a buffer but they're fewer and further apart and for a novice or new boat owner, which do you think they'd pick up and understand easier? Lastly, many customers don't know what a swirl is or have Oxidation in their gelcoat wanting "a light wax". They don't know what great looks like. As long as all the oxidation is removed, you have a clean surface, protected with a great sealant, the boat will look better than new with both styles, I just don't want to make people go through 18 steps when 3 will work just fine. Lee Alwayswithacoke@HM <video> Remove oxidation from gelcoat. Wax the boat and be good. Description: https://youtu.be/NtHgj2ACntI (swirl-free Super-Duty) https://youtu.be/ky-qHYzJlo4 ( Buffer speed) I have many more (300+)videos. 🔆🔆Want to help me make some changes @ 3M? Think about giving them a call and tell them to look at my videos. Give them a piece of your mind. Help me light a fire under their butts to do more for boaters!

Anyone can hit a rock with a hammer; getting the rock to look like something that belongs in museums and books... Takes a love of hitting rocks with a purpose and not just the right tools/products. I use a DeWalt DWP849X If I'm going for perfection in gelcoat, I don't use a ceramic (unless a very new boat) I prefer the ease, cost and reliability of Fire Glaze by RMP. Make sure you get all the oxidation out of the gelcoat, get a great finish, clean and strip the surface and then apply Fire Glaze. https://www.restructuremarine.com/fireglaze-products-2 (tell them Lee sent you. No discount and I receive nothing but I'd like them to know 😊) There's a "marine" version but it has the same main ingredient as Fire Glaze, just a different lubricant/carrier solution made to be environment friendly. I find it dries rather fast and as I'm in a hot climate, I use Fire Glaze instead of Restructure Marine Polish. I like their Mirasol spray for all the interior furnishings as well.

Lee </video> <video> Alternative to the normal. Bad Oxidation and repairs on gelcoat. Easy fix. Description: Vinyl can be the answer. It isn't maintenance-free but if you only need it to last for 4 seasons, ignore the maintenance. The cost for the blue was $3,500 which seems like a bunch of money but considering that he saves money every year, someone doesn't have to grind that blue out. If he maintains the wrap, this can last a really long time.

Have a question? Comments section will be replied to. Anyone can hit a rock with the "right" tools; getting the rock to look like something that belongs in museums and books... Takes a love of hitting rocks with a purpose and not just the right tools/products. Technique is more important than the "newest" product on the scene. I use a DeWalt DWP849X If I'm going for perfection in gelcoat, I don't use a ceramic (unless a very new boat) I prefer the ease, cost and reliability of Fire Glaze by RMP https://www.restructuremarine.com/fireglaze-products-2 (tell them Lee sent you. No discount and I receive nothing but I'd like them to know 😊) 3M Quick Connect adapter (mfg # 05752) to use with the double-sided compounding pad (3M mfg #05753) or the double-sided polishing pad (3M mfg #05754) Foam compounding pads 3M (05737-discontinued but awesome) or (05723-new version 😑) 3M Super-Duty (05954) 3M Perfect It Heavy Cutting Compound (36102) Perfect-it ex ac compounds by 3M (36060) Meguiar’s (owned by 3M) Flagship Premium Wax (M6332) Pro Polish by Shurehold or 3M's liquid wax with scotchguard. I receive no payment for listing these items. I list them because you guys ask and I just thought I would save some time. Wear protective gear, this stuff can cause cancer and kill you. If you are a fan of what I do, I don't take money from manufacturing companies or product suppliers. https://www.paypal.me/DDLee Thanks for your time and support. Lee </video>

Description

going on 20 years of this.

What I demonstrate in my videos is the same thing that helped build the 2nd largest boat detailing company in the nation, because it made customers happy and gave us the time and money to hire/train and retain good employees and keep growing. Good luck doing that with Wetsanding only.
I do smaller boats now but the thinking is the same; more happy customers, less cost/effort and a growing business. You can make mistakes with a buffer but they're fewer and further apart and for a novice or new boat owner, which do you think they'd pick up and understand easier?
Lastly, many customers don't know what a swirl is or have Oxidation in their gelcoat wanting "a light wax". They don't know what great looks like.
As long as all the oxidation is removed, you have a clean surface, protected with a great sealant, the boat will look better than new with both styles, I just don't want to make people go through 18 steps when 3 will work just fine.
