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!

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 2019.
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.

Re: 2 Boats in HORRIBLE condition needed for 2019 Boat Detailing Class
***Daily Bump***
I know it's hard to understand how it can be so difficult to find a GREAT hands-on training boat for a boat detailing class when we live smack-dab in the middle of the Boat Capital of the World.
But as the guy that has obtained all the boats in the past and has done all the talking, e-mailing and networking it takes to make a boat magically show up a day or two before the class, I know first hand... it is difficult.
So starting today I'll be sending the link to this thread out to all my boat buddies so as they come across anyone with a boat that meets the criteria for a great hands-on boat detailing class, including,
A: Trust us with their boat.
B: The boat is a medium to dark colored gel-coat with such severe oxidation that the pigmented polyester resin has turned white.
C: Trailer their boat here for the dates of the class.
And then we'll cross our fingers, no schedule conflicts takes place at the last moment.
So to all my boat buddies that receive the link to this thread and know of a boat please contact me.
Also feel free to send the link to this thread to anyone that you know of that has a boat that fits the above 3 criteria.

Thank you!
Your boat will look AMAZING after our class does and extreme makeover to it as documented via all our past classes.
:)
