    Starting my journey to remove oxidation on my 2013 deck boat. What I've done hasn't worked in the past. Initially it looks good but that dreaded oxidation reappears. I need to use your 1000 grit wet sanding pads in prior videos. The ceramic application is new to me. FYI: I know store my boat in a garage when I'm not at my lake house. Thanks so much for your content.

    I have a black jet ski that I had ceramic coated when I first purchased it new last year. I coated to protect it against water spots only to find out it still didn't really help(it almost made it worse). Is there a specific ceramic coating more resistant to water spotting or is there another coating that will do a better job for my marine application? Your opinion is highly appreciated. Thanks

    so what is the best ceramic coating for a boat? Is it still IGL? or what? not a detailer just a guy but I used your videos to cut the heavy oxidation off my boat a 23 ft cat lots of work. I am going to polish this week and want to ceramic coat soon. The boat normally stays in a slip salt water Beaufort SC. Don't want to do any of this again anytime soon or never. A detailer quoted me 1000 with ceramic and then no showed me. So I undertook. Your videos are spot on anybody following directions can do. thanks for your help. can't believe you don't have at least 100k subscribers

    Drake I’ve been following you for a while. Your videos have given me the confidence to get out there and really get after it. I’m in the process of detailing a 37 ft cruiser. I notice that in this video you said that you use alcohol before applying ceramic coat. I am using the repel pro and Thor. Is it necessary to alcohol everything or would a dawn soap wash be enough please let me know I don’t want to skip any steps before the coating. I appreciate you

    • @DrakesDetailing
      @DrakesDetailing  7 месяцев назад

      Hey bro, you’re fine with either/or. If you do alcohol, it will be fine, or if you do Dawn, it will be fine. It’s up to you. It can sometimes be quicker just to take alcohol wipes, just to wipe the boat down real quick doing a whole wash job, but that’s just my opinion.

    • @frandanco6289
      @frandanco6289 3 года назад

      Anything will be an improvement over wax.. Some waxes have evolved into sealants which I guess may be better but none of these things are known for longevity.. I know that there are ceramic coating products for vehicles, but I do not know if there are any really tested long term with proof, ceramic products for boats..
      A coating is supposed to be able to handle more bad stuff and not go away for a longer time.. It is usually a kind of product that repels dirt, unlike a wax which is oily and actually holds onto all dirt that lands on it..
      Waxes have a lot of oils in them, some synthetic, that make it always look really shiny, etc., but that is only because of all the OILS on it.. Once they get cooked off, way less shine and protection..

    • @DrakesDetailing
      @DrakesDetailing  4 года назад +2

      Yes, if you were going to ceramic coat your boat, you need to make sure all of the wax is completely removed. You can use Dawn dishwashing soap, and rubbing alcohol to do that. Once all of the wax and oils are removed then you can ceramic coat.

    Yo Drake how much of the IGL would you have used on this detail if it was it’s first time. And do you prefer two coats on the first time? Also do you do any different prep on black gelcoat including the ceramic application? Thx!

    • @DrakesDetailing
      @DrakesDetailing  4 года назад +1

      Just doing one coat in this video I went Thur 2 full bottles, I believe when I first did it I used about 3.5 bottles.
      Yes, if there is no ceramic on the surface always do 2 coats.
      Nothing different on black, the only thing that would make a difference is if there is any oxidation, then you would want to remove all oxidation first then do the steps in this video!
      You may want to finish with the white force lake country pad as well, not the grey or orange like in the video.
      The white pad is alittle softer, it will give you a better finish on darker colors.
      As for applying ceramic it’s the same on all colors.

      Yes, or I’ll use Menzerna on a wool pad using a rotary. Run it on like 1100 rpm really slow and let it work in. Then do menzerna in a da. If you do any correcting on non skid you usually have to pressure wash the non skid pretty good to remove left over compound.

    Does it make that deck slippery?

    • @DrakesDetailing
      @DrakesDetailing  8 месяцев назад

      No, it will make it a touch more slick, but it’s ultimately the engineering of the non-skid that keeps it non-slip.

    Hey Drake, Very impressed with your work ethic and passion for perfection. I'm ceramic coating my first Robalo R260. The Robalo just needs a cut and polish. What is a good estimate per foot for coating this boat? Did you use super clean straight in your foam cannon for the first clean and what polish do you use for stainless steel? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work on your videos!

    • @DrakesDetailing
      @DrakesDetailing  4 года назад +1

      Thanks for the compliments!
      What coating are you using?
      I’d probably be around $40 a ft for the compound and polish

      Not sure of the price on that coating! Usually for rub rail down to water line I’d charge around $50 a ft and topside around $75.
      But I am high on my ceramic pricing so shoot for lower ha

    Great video. Love the detail (pun intended haha)... So my new Barletta pontoon boat manufacturer is not recommending use of any 303 or vinyl protectant. Something to do with the type of vinyl I guess. They do mention Vantage Protection system which is a ceramic coating product. Unfortunately, my dealer doesn't carry it so I'm looking for other products to use to protect my seats. Are there any on Amazon that you've tried that you recommend? Thanks man! Keep up the good work!

      The ceramic coating will not adhere as well to vinyl, so not a lot of benefit, unless you are wanting that extra shine, that will be there for awhile before it goes away..
