Certificate Award Ceremony
At the end of the class, we hold our Certificate Award Ceremony. Some people want a certificate to show they attended one of my classes, some people don't but I'm proud to say, that our Certificates not only look great, but they also list a majority of the topics covered in the class. This way people not only see the certificate, but they also see the topics and techniques you trained and learned.

THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone for trusting in my name and the good name of Dr. Beasley's to travel all the way to Stuart, Florid to take this class.

I hope you found it exactly as advertised and that's, No Chairs. No Sitting. No Down Time. No PowerPoint. In other words, 100% hands on from the time we started early in the morning until the end of each day and all topics for that day were covered.

I appreciate each and every one of you for staying focused on the task-at-hand so there were no mistakes and each car, and the 24' Sea Hunt boat came out perfect!

If there's ever anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to email, call or text - I'm always available to you.

Sincerely,

Mike Phillips

Installing Graphics on a Gelcoat Boat
The owner of this boat is lucky in that Yancy Martinez, my long-time friend and absolute perfectionist when it comes to installing graphics on cars and boats, was also my assistant for this class. The original emblems and graphics were HORRIBLE looking after years of exposure to the corrosive salt water and UV rays from the sun. The owner purchased new, replacement graphics and after all the gelcoat correction and polishing was finished, but BEFORE installing the Dr. Beasley's Boat Coat Pro Gelcoat Ceramic Coating, Yancy installed the graphics.


Starboard Side
Here's Yancy and Jason installing the graphics on the Starboard side of the 24' Sea Hunt Center Console Boat.

Port Side
Here's Yancy and Billy installing the graphics to the Port side of the 24' Sea Hunt Center Console Boat.

Nice work Yancy, Jason and Billy, looks freaking perfect and so much better than how the boat looked when it first arrived.

Upcoming Boat Classes

Moving forward, the car detailing classes will be separate from the boat detailing classes. After teaching these 3-day classes for 5 years now, I'm simply catering to customer wishes. Some people just want the 2-day car detailing class, and some people just want the boat class.


2-Day Boat Class - Saturday March 15th and Sunday March 16th
For the year 2025, the Extreme Boat Detailing Class will be 2-days.

Day 1: Exterior Boat Detailing - everything you see in the pictures above.

Day 2: Interior Boat Detailing - this includes washing the inside, cleaning non-skid, (my personal technique), metal polishing, plastic polishing, vinyl cleaning and protecting.


Since teaching formal boat detailing classes since the year 2013, that's 12 years now as I type, I've found that MOST people want to learn how to do the outside of the boat like you see in the pictures above. A smaller percentage of people want to learn interior boat detailing. For this reason, you can sign-up for the first day, the second day, or both days.

Things to do around Stuart!​

A lot of people attending our classes bring their families and are looking for fun things to do with their kids while mom or dad are at the class. Below are a few resources to get you started.


Bathtub Beach in Jensen Beach - Very close to Stuart
1585 SE MacArthur Blvd, Stuart, FL 34996
This is a easy to access beach with an artificial reef separating it from the ocean, which acts to keep out sharks for a family friendly and kid-safe ocean swimming experience. I'm a distance swimmer myself and always feel safe when I go swimming at Bathtub Beach.
