I absolutely love detailing rare and exotic cars, regardless of paint condition. But boats thats another story. I have been detailing a few off shore performance boats for the past 5 years for a few regular car customers, but I never advertise or actively pursue boat detailing. I really do not enjoy it mostly because I never owned a boat, and they are just so much work. I have a lot of respect for those who specialize in detailing boats, and they must really have tremendous stamina, especially when buffing out neglected exteriors.
Today I spent 4.5 hours cutting and buffing this heavily oxidized boat, and cannot wait to get back to detailing a few nice cars tomorrow.
