Ceramic Coated Gel-coat after 8 months on the water!
Here's one of the boats we used for the January Boat Detailing Class this year This is a 24' Edgewater and it's always kept on the water right where you see it BEFORE my class did an full correction and ceramic coating to it.
Training Boats for the February 2019 Boat Detailing Class at Autogeek in Stuart Florida
Here's the Test Spot and the results - class took place Saturday, February 9th and Sunday February 10th, 2019.
Pictures & Comments 2019 Boat Detailing Class at Autogeek with Mike Phillips
Before each class starts, I first do a Test Spot to each boat to make sure,
A: The boat can be restored. Pretty easy to see I bring in really bad boats and it's possible for the pigmented gel-coat to be so bad it is past the point of no return - so I test.
B: To dial in a process that works 100% to create a showroom new finish. Then the class simply duplicates this process to the rest of the boat.
So here's my Test Spot for the 24' Edge Water
And here's the results from the Test Spot
The ghosting is gone and the results are a rich blue color as good as and in my opinion better than when it left the factory. I say this because most boat manufacturers finish out their boats with wool pads on rotary buffers.
And here's the FINAL RESULTS from the class!
Most boats I've seen and worked on have holograms from the factory. The finish on this Edgewater is hologram-free! For this reason it's in better condition now than most factory boats.
NOW LOOK BELOW TO SEE HOW IT LOOKS TODAY - 8 MONTHS LATER AFTER ALWAYS BEING ON THE WATER.
