    Boat detailing – where do I start?
    Surely you’ve asked yourself that question, or else you wouldn’t be researching and reading about the best boat detailing classes in the first place. We have an answer for that question, and it’s at Autogeek's Boat Detailing Class.



    Tools? You like tools?
    Our one-day boat detailing class provides an in-depth look at boat detailing inside and out. You'll get thorough instructions on how to properly machine sand a boat, remove sanding marks and oxidation with a high speed rotary polisher, machine-apply a wax using a dual action polisher, and more!

    We'll go over how to use the Flex 3401 for production boat detailing.

    You'll get to use the RUPES BigFoot 21 for creating a show car finish on black gel-coat boats.

    We'll go over machine sanding using the Flex 3401 (that's right we're going to machine sand with the Flex 3401) and the Porter Cable 7424XP Polisher.

    For sanding you'll learn how to use the Mirka Abralon Sanding Discs by machine and by hand. You'll also learn why it's smarter to machine sand heavily oxidized gel-coat boats versus compound with a rotary buffer.



    Limited Class Size

    The class size will be limited to give everyone an opportunity to ask questions and practice the techniques. The class will be held in the fully equipped Autogeek Show Car Garage located at our headquarters in Stuart, Florida.


    These are intense hands-on classes!

    When: February 8th and 9th, 2020
    Time: 7:30am 5:30pm Eastern Time


    Where:

    Stuart, FL 34997
    Mapquest Driving Directions




    What to bring: Bring a pen and paper to take notes if you like. All chemicals and tools will be provided.

    Dress: Dress is casual, remember you're going to be washing a boat as well as detailing the boat inside and outside. Please DO NOT wear Flip Flops or dress shoes of any kind. Wear work clothes like jeans, t-shirt and tennis shoes, the kind of clothes that you would wear when washing and detailing a boat.


    We cannot emphasis enough that these are very HANDS-ON classes so get a good night's sleep the night before the class and be ready to learn and have fun!



    Note: This will be the only boat detailing class for 2020.
    The timing of this is right after the Stuart Boat Show and well before the boat season starts. This gives you time to take the class and then get your boat ready for summer. If you detail boats for money then attend this class and position yourself to dominate your market.


    Our last boat detailing class filled up fast so mark your calendars and plan your schedules accordingly.

    Hotels, Airports and Attractions near Autogeek's Garage!

    If you're driving or flying in from any kind of distance and especially if you're attending both the Saturday and Sunday class, here's some helpful information.



    Hotels

    Courtyard Stuart
    7615 SW Lost River Road
    Stuart, Florida 34997
    772-781-3344

    Tell them you're with Palm Beach Motoring and that our rate code is PBME. Hotel rates fluctuate according to season and other events. We, (Autogeek), do not own the Marriott, so for accurate prices, call them to get the current room rates for the time you will be attending the class. This is true for ALL hotels.


    The Courtyard Stuart has an in-house restaurant and the Cracker Barrel and McDonald's are right next door. They offer free Wireless Internet in all their rooms.



    NOTE: I recommended the Courtyard Stuart because it's nice, has a restaurant/lounge and is one of two of the closest hotels to Autogeek. I did not recommend it because it was the cheapest. For lower cost hotels in the Stuart area, do a Google search or use a website like Trivago.


    Also close to Autogeek and right across the street from the Courtyard Stuart,


    Holiday Inn Express - Stuart Florida
    7900 SW Lost River Road
    Stuart, FL 34997
    772-287-2522

    Wendy's and Dunkin Donuts are right next door. They offer free Wireless Internet in all their rooms.




    Airports

    West Palm Beach - Airport Code: PBI
    Approximately 30 minutes from Autogeek.net Corporate Offices <--Closest airport to Autogeek

    My personal recommendations for great places to eat while you're here in Stuart,


    Italian Cuisine

    La Forchetta

    Hands=down the best Italian food you will ever eat. If the owner Dominic is there, tell him Mike Phillips sent you. This restaurant is literally right down the road from Autogeek. It's in the same parking lot as the Holiday Inn Express and across the street from the Courtyard Stuart (see hotels above)



    Seafood

    Fresh Catch

    Again, if you love great seafood then Fresh Catch is hands-down the best seafood in town. It's only about 3 miles down Kanner highway and then a right on Indian street, go through 2 lights and take a left and you're there.

    When you get there, if you're sitting at the bar, tell Boomer I sent you.

    BEFORE








    AFTER








    Before you sign-up for this class, research for any other class that can document exactly what you're going to do.


    Also note in all the pictures taken at out boat classes - no sitting. If you learn best by sitting in a chair listening to someone talk, then find a different class. If you learn best by DOING - then this class is for you.

    Andre says this class is already filling up.

    Hate to sound like a broken record, (does anyone know what a record is?), but the most common question I get about the boat detailing class goes like this,


    When is the next class?


    I'm asked this AFTER the ONLY class we teach each year and it's ALWAYS in February.


    So clear your schedule and get signed-up before the class sells out and it always sells out.

    I've secured one boat for this class, it's a 21' Sea Hunt Center Console. It's in really bad condition.

    The owner will send me some pictures tomorrow.

    This first picture is not the actual boat but a picture of the same boat I snagged off of the Internet.





    This IS the actual boat, at least the side of the hull showing the oxidation and scarring.









    Working on the second boat.


    This is the ONLY hands-on boat detailing class on Planet Earth. Any new boat classes will never be as hands-on as the classes I teach. To be blunt, there simply no sitting time, it's all hands-on from start to end. If you plan on attending, get signed up before it sells out.


    Here's the dates

    Saturday, February 8th and Sunday, February 9th



    Here's the link to sign-up online before it sells out.

    There's only 6 spaces left for the boat class.

    This class always sells out.

    Call Andre to reserve your space.


    1-800-869-3011 X1244


    This is the ONLY boat detailing class where you actually train on boats. There are no chairs. If you want to sit in a chair to learn how to detail a boat then do some searching on Google.
