2008 Malibu renewed

While I don't get very many boats the ones I do get seem to turn out very nicely for me, according to the owners of this boat I've just made myself famous in the area now.



This boat was brand new at the beginning of March. It sat on the water from then till about 2 weeks ago..........hard water scum all over the place. It was rarely wiped down and never washed that I was told of. I saw this boat when they got it new, a real looker. I think I've made it shine even more so now. They have now built a boat lift, boat house on the private lake, so no more out in the open in the water.......that combo is MURDER on boats



The process was to give it a deep cleaning wash using P21s TAW and Amazing Roll Off

Removal of the scum

I found dirt in places I did not know existed

This above took about 5 hrs alone



I needed to compound and polish

Wool and 105

Black pad and 3m final boat polish

Gel-Coat was sealed in 1000P 2 coats

All the chrome and SS was polished with Flitz

Entire inside vinyl was cleaned and scrubbed and protected with 303

Glass hard water took about an hour just to remove

Glass was then coated with RainX

Tires were sealed with Tuf-Shine and black restore

Trailer was just wiped down



total time needed was 16 hrs on this,

Nice work indeed! It's amazing that someone would let something of that expense, and brand new, go to hades inside of one year.
 
Thanks guys!



"Salty" I appriciate your input with questions I had before this job began, you and "Premium" really helped.



Cheers,

GREG
 
Anytime, the boat turned out beautiful. You weren't kidding when you said it was a nice boat.
 
You really did an awesome job!



I am pleased to see that you were able to turn it around!



Anytime you have a question just let me know. I am always here to help! Great work!
 
Yes this is a very nice boat, and If I say so the glow and depth are better now then when new.



Thanks again for the positive comments and support of quality work.



Cheers,

GREG
 
Great job on the boat. I still can't believe the owner just left it sit in the water. Gelcoat on boats is actually porous and can lead to blistering and all kinds of other issues.
