    Boat Detailing Training - Before & After Pictures - The MOST DOCUMENTED HANDS-ON Boat Detailing Classes - Autogeek - Stuart, Florida

    Boat Detailing Training - Before & After Pictures - The MOST DOCUMENTED HANDS-ON Boat Detailing Classes - Autogeek - Stuart, Florida




    The MOST Photo-Documented Boat Detailing Classes on Planet Earth!

    What separates our boat detailing classes from all the rest is we DOCUMENT them to show real people working on real boats. In fact, you won't see any pictures of people sitting in chairs looking at a power point slide on the wall.

    What you will see are boats in HORRIBLE condition and people on their feet training on them. This is real-world, on-your-feet, hands-on training. After taking one of our boat detailing classes you will know exactly what to do from start to finish.

    When you arrive to a customer's boat or when a customer brings you their boat, OR if you just want to detail your own boat, there won't be any guessing as to what to do or the order to do if you take our boat detailing training class.

    I guarantee it - Mike Phillips - Instructor for Marine 31 and Autogeek



    Our Class History

    In order, here are our boat detailing classes fully documented. Before signing up for, paying for or taking ANY other boat detailing class, TRY to find this volume of documentation.

    Below are a few pictures showing the before and after condition. Included are the LINKS to the full write-ups where you can see ALL the pictures.


    Enjoy!

    From June, 2013

    Pictures: 2000 Baja 232 Boss High Performance - Boat Detailing Class - June, 2013

    Here's how she looked before... dull, chalky, lifeless... zero shine...










    AFTER


    Check out the gloss and shine now!

















    From July of 2013

    Pictures: 16' Key Largo Center Console - Detailing Class - July, 2013


    BEFORE

    Here's where we started... a 2007 16' Key Largo Center Console Boat that has not been polished or waxed for years...

    Dull, oxidized gel-coat, no shine, no reflection, rough to the touch...




    Oxidation over all the console and stained, oxidized chrome surfaces...






    AFTER


    This boat had zero gloss and shine when it arrived and the hull felt rough to the touch. Now it's a dramatically brighter white, with excellent shine, gloss and even reflection....





    Before there was zero reflections - now you can see the red and black tile floor reflecting in the side of the hull.




    Now the console is bright, shiny and glossy again...







    Nice work guys, all the chrome, aluminum and stainless steel turned out great!







    And here's the wrecking crew...

    From left to right...
    Marcus, Nick, Steve, John, Bryan, Chris, Steve, Richard and Robert...









    From August, 2013

    Pictures: 24' Pro-Line Center Console - Detailing Class - 2013


    BEFORE


    Most people would look at this boat and think the black gel-coat is in pretty good shape?





    Here's what it really looks like, you just need some light...








    AFTER









    And this included installing new graphics

    Pictures: How to wetsand a gel-coat boat - Boat Detailing Class - May, 2014


    BEFORE

    Here's the "before" pictures to document the condition of the boat before we started this project.








    Holograms in gel-coat

    The below picture is a full size section cropped out of the above resized picture. The lines you see running back and forth across where the flash from my camera is lighting up the side of the hull are holograms from a rotary buffer.








    Water Spot Stains & Oxidation

    Not only is the entire hull filled with holograms from the misuse of a rotary buffer, (the normal practice by most boat detailers), the gel-coat is also oxidized and covered with water spot stains.







    Removing scratches out of Eisenglas






    AFTER

    Here are the final results from a LOT of hard work and teamwork...


















    This is the flash off my camera, if you look closely you can see my outline in the hull... (barely)

    From September of 2014
    Pictures: 1960 Glastron Wetsanding Class - September, 2014 Ship Shape TV


    This project was featured on Ship Shape TV with John Greviskis





    John Greviskis host of Ship Shape TV





    First, here's some pictures that show the excessive orange peel or surface texture in the gel-coat after it was sprayed as a part of restoring this classic Glastron.





    Not there is zero gloss or shine in the gel-coat finish...








    Frame-up shot

    I'm take a far show of the corner so you can see what I'm photographing...






    Close-up of the above shot...






    Extreme close-up of the above shot --> Notice the rough texture? This will all have to be sanded FLAT.







    Here's the hull before we started....







    This too will have to be sanded till the surface is flat....







    Here's the finished results....

    I took these shots the next morning, both the top cap and the hull had been sanded, compounded, polished and waxed....
