18ft Boat detailed by Etiennè

[Deranged_9n3]

I have detailed this boat during the month of July, but somehow forgot to post it up on the forums ops: This boat was badly oxidized and was looking yellow when it rolled in. We started with a wash, thereafter we polished it all up ( some areas machine polished and some areas hand polished ) and finally we applied Menz PL by hand. We also cleaned the inside of the boat, cleaned the dirty white leather and treated them with Megs Gold Class. This boat looked brand new when it rolled out

Polished vs Oxidised








Leather before vs after


After shots
























As suspected, the owner was overwhelmed by the outcome on this !!

Comments welcome :grin:

Do boats have a gel coating? And if so how different does it respond to polishing vs a clear coat on a car?

Thanx man. Used APC mix and a brush to clean and then finished with Megs Gold Class

Great job ! How long it took for a job like that !

Took me a whole day to complete. Less work than a car TBH

Very nice results!

Thanx for the feedback guys

Yes it has a gel coating. From what I experienced, you can't remove scratches from this, just cleanup and restore the shine that used to be on there !!

I used Menz fg400 on yellow cutting pads ( Cyclo dual head polisher ) followed by Menz PL applied by hand
