    Who's going? Southern Detailer's Conference - June 5th & 6th - Lexington, Kentucky







    I'll be attending this event and always love to meet other detailers and online friends.

    Looks like I'm first up on Saturday for the Question & Answers event on the center stage.

    Here's what works best for a demo boat - a boat with a tall hull, dark in color in really really bad condition. These are the kinds of boats I use for my boat detailing classes,

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



    BEFORE








    Here's the results from my Test Spot and the process I used to get these results the class will duplicate to the rest of the boat when class starts.






    AFTER

    Here's the final results....






    If by chance you have such a boat, I would be okay with doing a demo on it but the problem is - I can't finish the job. And the only way you'll get the same results over the rest of the boat is to duplicate the exact process I use to the rest of the boat. I don't want to leave Kentucky and leave you hanging in the wind.


    The classes are 50 minutes long and that means you'll get this out of me.

    First the tires were machine scrubbed to get them surgically clean before installing the tire coating.









    BEFORE





    After cleaning only





    AFTER one application of the PBL Tire Clear Coat











    Passenger side front tire

    This tire was machine scrubbed 3-4 times with Pinnacle Black Label Tire Cleaner and then TWO applications of the Pinnacle Black Label Tire Clear Coat was applied.

    Before








    After 2 applications of PBL Tire Clear Coat









    The end results are super black tires that are DRY to the touch.
