The Marine 31 Boat Detailing Class will give you the experience and knowledge to detail boats like a professional! Boat detailing – where do I start? Surely you’ve asked yourself that question, or else you wouldn’t be researching and reading about the best boat detailing classes in the first place. We have an answer for that question, and it’s the Marine 31 Boat Detailing Class. Tools? You like tools? Our one-day boat detailing class provides an in-depth look at boat detailing insdie and out. You'll gedt thorough instructions on how to properly machine sand a boat, remove sanding marks and oxidation with a high speed rotary polisher, machine-apply a wax using a dual action polisher, and more! We'll go over how to use the Flex 3401 for production boat detailing. You'll get to use the RUPES BigFoot 21 for creating a show car finish on black gel-coat boats. We'll go over machine sanding using the Flex 3401 (that's right we're going to machine sand with the Flex 3401) and the Porter Cable 7424XP Polisher. For sanding you'll learn how to use the Mirka Abralon Sanding Discs by machine and by hand. You'll also learn why it's smarter to machine sand heavily oxidized gel-coat boats versus compound with a rotary buffer. Limited Class Size The class size will be limited to give everyone an opportunity to ask questions and practice the techniques. The class will be held in the fully equipped Autogeek Show Car Garage located at our headquarters in Stuart, Florida. These are intense hands-on classes! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Before Water Spot Stains & Oxidation Not only is the entire hull filled with holograms from the misuse of a rotary buffer, (the normal practice by most boat detailers), the gel-coat is also oxidized and covered with water spot stains. ![]() ![]() After ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When: February 6th, 2016 Time: 7:30am 4:00pm Eastern Time Where: Autogeek's Show Car Garage 7744 SW Jack James Drive Stuart, FL 34997 Mapquest Driving Directions What to bring: Bring a pen and paper to take notes if you like.

![]() I have a question about these classes.
Are these boats already clean that you are just teaching fundamentals on or are these boats actually in use that have things on them that need correcting? ![]() |

I only use boats that need real detailing work. My history on any forum is a history where I fully document the before condition of the projects. I prefer projects, be they boats or cars that are on the extreme side of damage as it's easier to capture the before pictures. The black boat I had scheduled for the last class canceled on short notice. I was able to get the red to replace it. It wasn't as in bad of condition as all the previous boats I've used in classes but it still had what I would call medium oxidation plus some detailer buffed it out and stopped after only using a wool pad on a rotary buffer. So it had oxidation, water spots, stains and holograms. And we machine sanded it and then buffed it to perfection. ![]() ![]() ![]() Good question. ![]()

![]() ***Update***
This class is already filling up! Boat Owners If you're a do-it-yourselfer and no one touches your boat besides you then you need this class. Why? Because you'll learn exactly what to do and the order to do it so no wasted time, wasted steps or wasted money. Most boat owners I meet fall into one of two categories. Category 1Boat Detailers If you plan to detail boats for profit, then this class is a MUST. Here's the deal. Most boat detailers are still using antiquated products, tools and procedures. The results are every boat they detail is filled with HOLOGRAMS. Not only is this a disservice to the boat owner but it ACCELERATES future oxidation by leaving the surface of the gel-coat more open due to increasing the total surface area of the hull PLUS leaving the surface scoured with millions of scratches. At our boat detailing class I'll teach you the proper way to machine compound, polish and wax boat plus how to educate your customer as to why to choose you over the cheap guys. Plus, you'll also learn how to turn down boat owners that won't pay for quality and go after smart boat owners that appreciate and will pay a fair price to have the job done right. Then you'll learn how to go after this segment of the boat owner market and build a profitable customer base instead of chasing after price shoppers that in the long run are always a waste of time. Let the hack boat detailers have the price shoppers. Click here to register for this class before it fill up! ![]()
