Thanks man - planning on a 5 day turnaround with a few extra guys - been a thorn in the side BUT also a great marine contact for us! It is turning out great I think and the client is happy - all I can ask for!

For this boat we used rotaries for first 2 steps, then DA for last step. Same compounds? We used Ardex for most steps then collinite to top it off.

Which collinite are you using?
This boat might be the perfect place to test out multiple sealants, you'll always see the boat by doing other boats:) then you'll know which sealant lasts the longest on gel coat :)

Owner said 1500 IIRC, but then Anthony gets all the boats at the Marina. Might be wrong though :)( he said something like that in another thread.)

Colinite Fleetwax - true about the sealants - only our arms are about to fall off after a day of working on this and don't think a sealant applied is possible lol!

Thanx Flash - Tyson is an asset for sure (he now knows how to cut properly :dblthumb2:). I originally quoted 2k but he said that we can be the sole detailers at the marina, put signs around the marina, and have a covered slip to detail out of if we do it for 1,000 - DEAL I said :props:. He already has 2 jobs lined up for us in the next week or two, plus - as I said before, "working is the best form of advertising". We have landed at least 5K in work just from people walking by and inquiring. I love this gig :dblthumb2:

Patience, Perseverance, and the thought of feeding my children lol.

Anthony, there's only one thing I can say.......:urtheman:

I'm really glad that this actually will pay off in the long run. So many of those "deals" when someone wants something done on the cheap can backfire.
