After seeing the finished boat, we offered the owner the opportunity to bring his boat to Autogeek where they could re-sand, compound, polish and then install a ceramic coating to give the boat a show car or show boat finish while making it faster and easier to wash, clean and preserve the boat into the future. This LIVE class takes place Thursday, August 27th at 3:00pm Eastern Time

Done.

After the LIVE detailing class - Royce and I applied 3 applications of the 3D Ceramic Coating.

Coating the outside is a cake walk compared to coating the inside. One thing for sure she’s going to be the shiniest coat on the water.
