21` Tahoe Boat by Got Leather

[imported_DJ Mayo]

Up next is a 21` Tahoe Boat that was in need of a full interior detail and just a nice 1 step cleanup on the gel coat. The owner had stored the boat at the lake and in the meantime the people down there took the cover off and let it sit. Hmmm, not sure why. The interior carpet had a few spots of mold as well as a little on the rear seat. All seats that would come out were removed, deep cleaned using a pressure washer, diluted degreaser, steam cleaned, then protected with leather conditioner. The carpeted areas were sprayed with APC, pressure washed, and then extracted. All the gel coated areas were treated with the PC and Green pad with a mix of 80% Marina Flagship Wax, 10% Show Car Glaze, and 10% Optimum Poli-Seal. This brought the color back out and added some protection. Total time invested was about 14 hours.



Thanks to Eric (Howareb) for allowing me to use his shop again. Such a good friend. :xyxthumbs

After removing the front seats, this is what we had to work with.

Using this brush helped get between the seats with a 10:1 mix of APC

Using the PC and the softest brush attachment to work in the leather conditioner.

All 9 of the cup holders were removed and soaked in a diluted mix of degreaser and and hot water over night.

A little 50/50 of the leather.

WOW! Talk about increasing the resale value of that boat.



You did a great job, I can only imagine the amount of elbow grease involved.
