Here are some pics of a recent Cadillac XLR I coated. It is a 2004 and as you can see in the before pics is pretty rough. The car required headlight restoration, color correction and decontamination. To complete the job I used Menzerna Medium and Super Finish. For the coating I used WG Uber...

If there is one thing I like detailing as much as boats, it would have to be classics. They don't get any better than this 1951 Merc I recently had the privilege of detailing. This car turned out nothing short of spectacular. For this detail I used 100% Wolfgang products. From soap, to a WG...

Here is a recent car coating project. For this car I typically color correct as needed and seal every 6 months. This time I coated the car. To tackle this job I washed the car with Wolfgang auto bath. The soap worked well out of a pressure washer Canon. It sticks well and washes off easier than...

As you can see from the top picture the jet boat was not to bad just had a lot of scratches from people walking on the deck. The below pic is after it was buffed and waxed. I used Marine 31 Capt 1 Step and Marine 31 sealer. Thanks for looking, Jon

Hi Mike, Now that you have been using the coatings for a while, what are your thoughts on coatings for boats vs polymer sealants? I have yet to make this jump to coatings since boats are often tied up to docks, other boats and I am not sure how coatings will hold up to the constant abuse they...

I have not posted an projects lately, so I figured I would throw one up here. This was a pretty labor intensive project. The entire boat needed to be color sanded. the one tough thing about boats are all of the angle changes and hard edges. To complete this project I used my flex DA and started...

Mike, I am seeing more and more of my marine customers who have gel coats that have been painted. What are you thoughts in this situation. Do you stick with marine products or go with automotive products. Jon http://www.attention2detailhc.com

I must say Marine 31 has very little presents in the south west. Especially among the west coast performance boaters. Over the last two years I have switched to Marine 31 for all of my marine customers. The products work great for me, and I have been able to standardize to a single brand. While...

Here is a project I completed last week. I had a customer who had major oxidation on the transom of his boat. To complete the job I did my normal wash, then started color sanding with the Mirka Abralon disks. I started with 1000, and worked my way to 4000. Once completed I used Marine 31, Capt...

Well it is that time of the year in Lake Havasu City, when everyone is getting there toys ready for the water. Here are a few details I just wrapped up. I feel very lucky to do what I do, when I get to work on Hardware like this. Marine 31 has not let me down yet. The product just works well...

It is boating season and I do not see many boats posted up so here is another recent detail. It is a 1994 22ft Eliminator Daytona. It was in pretty bad shape but came up really nice. As always Job was done with Flex 4301, Marine 31 and CCS pads.

Recently completed a detail on this really nice deck boat. Thought it came out great! To get it back to showroom condition, I used Marine 31 Capt Cut, followed by Marine 31 Final Step Color Restore and Marine 31 Wax/Seal. In the end, the owner thought it looked better than when they took...

Hi Everyone, Here is a before and after shot of a 1993 F-350 that was brought back to life over the weekend. This beast was a nightmare. Completely oxidized and hard water stained. The owner thought there was no hope for it. After about 5 hours of cutting and polishing, she showed some life...

Hi Guys, I recently did a mini Gel Restore to a 1971 Schiada. The boat had been sitting outside for 7 years. The owner asked if I would do my best. He did not have high expectations. In the end it actually came out fairly decent. Pictures do not do the before and after any justice. For this...

Wanted to share a detail I just finished. Menzerna has not let me down yet. On this car I used a Medium Cut, Super finish and Power Lock Seal. This was done with LC pads, and a Flex 4301 DA. Thanks for looking, Jon Mobile Detail Services - Attention 2 Detail - Lake Havasu City, Bullhead City...

I have posted a couple times, and thought I would formally introduce myself. I have been detailing for about 8 years, 3 of which professionally. I am located in Lake Havasu City, AZ. As you could imagine my main focus is on performance boats. We are the west coast performance boat capital. Being...

I had a customer call me to let me know some intoxicated people were dancing around on the bow of his boat with sand on there feet. The gel did not seem to fair so well. It took a bit of color sanding, and some Marine 31 cutting compound. The results were pretty good.

Many people I have spoken to have varied opinions on this question. When do you determine that abrasives are not adequate and the only option is to color sand? For me I always start with an abrasive to see how the paint responds. I will color sand based on those results, others say they go about...
