    Hydra-Sports 600 horsepower-35 foot boat

    Just when i thought my detailing season was over in Chicago, i received a call from the owner of a very successful Downtown-based fishing charter, he wanted to prep his newest boat for winter storage and learn the basics in detailing.

    Because the boat is already in a heated storage surrounded by plenty of other boats, the lighting wasn't as sufficient as i hoped for the pictures didn't come out as well as i hoped for, but you could still really tell the difference.

    It took a total of 12 hours-two man job in a span of 2 days due to the harbors limited hours.

    The boat was washed with ONR, clayed, and Marine 31 products were used as it is a gel-coat based paint.

    Onto the pictures;

    Both Saturday and Sunday were beautiful, but cold days in Chicago!

    Sunday



    The boat in water



    I went on the charter 2 years in a row and this was our catch of the day! 25 fish in a span of 5 hours. I'm the one in the middle



    Very little room to work with!!!



    A lot of boats in storage!



    Products and tools of choice!



    GG6



    PC7424XP



    Pads used were White, Orange, Pink and Yellow (for heavy oxidation spots)





    Some calcium build up and hard water spots





    And after





    The boat owner learning the PC7424



    Very good reflections were achieved in the end



    After all was done we put a cover on it to protect it for the rest of the season



    Big thanks for member A G Thang for letting me use his GG6!

    Thank You for looking!

    Looks good. I would have expected it to take much more time. I know I've spent much more time on my 22' boat.

    The harbor only allows a 9am-3pm work time therefore the boat owner washed the boat, polished the metal, cleaned the glass, interior (below deck) as well as the main floor during the week.
    I was solely brought in for the outside and had the weekend to do so.
