Boat detail 50+hrs -remove oxidized fiberglass

[Tuck91]

Heres a boat I did earlier this week, put in over fifty hours of work into it. The fiberglass was badly oxidized both inside and out.

I started off by washing the boat and trailer with #54 - Gel Wash, the trailer was then rubbed out with a combination of #49 - Heavy Duty Oxidation Remover and #44 - Color Restorer, then it was protected with #50 - One Step Cleaner/Wax.

The boat itself was deeply cleaned with #49 - Heavy Duty Oxidation Remover to remove the oxidation, that was followed with #50 - One Step Cleaner/Wax, and then that was followed with Flagship Premium Marine Wax.

Here are a few before shots:










Heres what M44 can do on an oxidized trailer:

Motor waxed by hand with M50:






Storage areas deep cleaned with M50 as well:












I did underneath the boat as well, I was able to remove the oxidation with M50:









Metal polished with M93:





























Seat was cleaned and conditoned with #57 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner

Fantastic job Nick. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you weren't paid anything close to what your time was worth? Seems to always be the case for the bigger jobs... people just don't understand the effort it takes.

Thanks Mark!

Bewtween Monday and Thursday I put 56 hours into this boat. Ended up giving the guy a little discount since he has given me a lot of work in the past and has 5-7 F-250s left for me to detail. I ended up charging him $600 and he gave me a $50 tip.

You should have see how trashed this boat was on the inside, the exterior was also a lot more oxidized than my before pictures show.

Nick, I must give you props. That must have taken a lot of patience. I'm a pretty patient person, but I'm not that patient. My hat goes off to you!


I must say though, that boats looks like it would be loads of fun!
