Brand new video!


This is a 100% on-your-feet, hands-on boat detailing class. Historically these are the most hands-on boat detailing classes on planet Earth. We bring in the WORSE condition, dark colored gelcoat boats that have turned white with oxidation because these types of boats provide the most and best learning advantages.

Here's one of the boats you'll be training on...

Start time - Class starts at 8:30am SHARP and goes until approximately 5:30pm on Saturday and approximately 4:00pm on Sunday. Each student will fully restore and detail one boat.

Overview - This class covers how to take the worst condition boats and restore them to factory new condition and actually better than factory new condition. Most boats brand new from the factory come with holograms already in the gelcoat finish. By using neglected gelcoat boats, we are able to teach you every aspect of boat detailing. After taking the class you’ll be able to inspect a boat, determine which steps are needed to remove the oxidation and restore a show car finish to a boat.


Day 1 – Extreme Boat Prep Washing and Interior Detailing
The first day goes over all the best tools, products and techniques to get a neglected boat spic-n-span clean! The foundation for the final results is a super clean boat to start with and then each step on the second day builds on this foundation
  • Boat washing inside and outside using foam guns.
  • Canvas and Sunbrella cleaning and protecting (if applicable to the boat)
  • How to machine clean non-skid surfaces to remove mold, mildew and oxidation.
  • How to machine clean vinyl seats and other vinyl surfaces while safely removing mold and mildew.
  • Metal polishing to remove oxidation and sealing.
  • Machine polishing plexiglass, isinglass, and plastic windows to remove swirls, scratches and oxidation.


Two approaches for top cap detailing,
  1. One-Step machine polishing to remove oxidation while sealing at the same time using a ceramic AIO.
  2. Multiple-Step machine polishing using dedicated compounds, polishes and ceramic coatings.


Day 2 – Extreme Boat Gelcoat Correction & Ceramic Coating
We bring in extremely neglected boats with deep gelcoat oxidation for a very important reason. A boat with severe oxidation enables us to teach you the most boat gelcoat restoration techniques so you have ALL the skills and knowledge to tackle ANY boat that comes your way.

This includes,
  • Machine sanding to remove deep oxidation.
  • How to correctly use a rotary polisher to remove 100% of the sanding marks.
  • How to use an orbital polisher to remove 100% of the holograms while creating a perfectly smooth surface, (vitally important for longevity reasons), and also maximizing depth of color, gloss and shine.
  • How to use a gelcoat panel wipe to prep the gelcoat for a ceramic coating.
  • How to install 3 layers of a marine grade gelcoat ceramic coating.


Finishing touches
  • Engine detailing.
  • Propeller detailing.
  • Trailer detailing.


Certificate Award Ceremony
Upon successful completion of the class, each person that has attended the full class will be awarded their Certificate of Completion.

For what it's worth for anyone researching boat classes. There's not a lot to choose from and I cover everything in my first boat detailing how-to book and MORE.

One thing I know for sure... it's easy to talk about boat detailing, try writing a book explaining how to detail a boat using a keyboard.

The above book is no longer in print and also so out-of-date.

Since being published in 2015 so many more new products, tools, pads and technology have been introduced. The new, updated version I'm writing will be 100% up-to-date.

Stay tuned...
