Love this video! I've not waxed my boat yet. Still new (to us) does that wax hold up in salt water? Also, do you do the inside of the boat? Floor? Walls? Thanks.

@Justbereelflorida Жыл бұрын

Once you return the shine, I wax all of the smooth fiberglass surfaces. The wax will hold up for 3-6 months ive heard. But you need to buy a boat soap that wont remove the wax layer. Don’t use dish soap, buy a good boat soap.

What level of oxidation requires wet sanding? Can you get any level of oxidation out with buffing?

@Justbereelflorida Жыл бұрын

I’ve never had a boat oxidized enough for wet sanding. But I’m sure professional detailers encounter them often. I just do my own boat and never had to wet sand

@user-jd6dp5hd7z Жыл бұрын

I'm new here I like your easy step by step video my wife showed me the video after purchasing the products that you are using. My question is can I buff the boat and polish later. I mean I want to oxidize my boat first and then continue to polish and wax later Tell me your thoughts

@Justbereelflorida Жыл бұрын

Yes buff first then polish and then wax. I like to do 1 side at a time and go through all 3 steps. Before moving on. Just how I like to do it, to remember where I left off.

@sidjv77 Жыл бұрын

Great video, curious what speed you did the wax at and did you use a new pad or the same one as you polished with?

@Justbereelflorida Жыл бұрын

Used a new pad for the wax stage. I wax around 2500/3k speed. Just above what the polish speed is

@Justbereelflorida Жыл бұрын

I use the same 3m pads for polish and wax. I buy 2 and use 1 for polish step and 1 for wax. You could prob use a microfiber pad for wax stage if you wanted.

I have a 2018 bluewave, it has the raised silver metal decals . How do you compound in the areas between the letters

Not sure, my decals are a rubber so I just go over them. A friend of mine does boat detailing and he removes the decals on the boats

@Justbereelflorida 9 ай бұрын

If your decals are not real metal then the compound will basically (sand them down). I just go over mine but a detail buddy of mine pulls them off of boats and doesn’t reapply them. Hope that helps

Do you still do only shoulder width, start to finish when doing the whole boat. Or compound whole boat, then polish, then wax.

@Justbereelflorida 2 ай бұрын

You can do it either way. I normally compound one whole side, then polish then wax and then move to the other side and repeat. But my boat isn’t very large.

If you use a quality sealant or better yet a ceramic coating, you’d never have an oxidation problem after the first compound and polish.
