Envious Detailing: 1991 boat detail

[Envious Eric]

This boat was really hammered! Tons of DEEP oxidation has taken over. After a total of about 18 hours, 80% correction was achieved! Main area of focus was the topside, with the Hull getting just a one step. The topside received no less than 5 hits of compound and wool pad over every inch, some more than others! I knew it wouldnt be perfect, but it sure beats a super expensive gel coat repair!



Enjoy, because it was a tough one!

lol eric are you ready for another! I hate them things lol

[Make it shine!]

nice job. Did you use a rotary or DA?

[Envious Eric]

Rotary used on this one...



Barry, only if the money is there!! No way am I ready to do another for cheap! It was tougher than a car, you were right! I didnt think it would be that bad based on the other boats I have done (those were in better condition, much better)

[vtec92civic]

nice job Eric. Some boats really arn`t that bad to do but this one looked to be a challenge but it looks soooooooo much better.



The owner should be totally happy with that because the boat looked pretty bad before.



Hope it was worth it for you.

[Envious Eric]

yeah it was definitely worth it in the end!!!

[Crandallion]

This is my parents old boat that has not been used in over 4 years. To make things worse it was stored outside for 3 of the 4 years. Eric did an amazing job removing the tarnish from this hidden gem. Eric also did a detail on my 300 which now looks flawless.

If anyone is thinking about a detail in Southern Ca, Envious is the way to go! :goodjob

[Envious Eric]

Thanks Ryan, glad to hear you are stoked on the final product! Just have to maintain it from now on! Check your Pm`s for the other boat in question...

[David Fermani]

Great transformation Eric. Good thing you could do it indoors.

[imported_WhyteWizard]

Great job.



Did you consider sanding with trizact 3000 by hand then polishing? Also, how do you do the white seats?

[Greg Nichols]

Next time on a boat this bad break out the sanding supplies and save time, I`ve done many a boat in that condition and sanding saves time and improves results. I also have the client remove all the hardware makes my job easier and cheaper.



Either way great job!



Cheers,

GREG

[Envious Eric]

i removed the pieces I could...



I also sanded a section with 2500 and it didnt really add to the overall look. Did about 10 passes back and forth, up and down. So I just continued to go at it with compounding. Had I had a mirka setup or the like, I think that might have been worth the sanding effort (speed/timing)

[KC@detailien]

great turn around

[RaskyR1]

Boat looks 100 time better! Nice work Eric!



Having buffed out more boats than I`d like to admit I can definitely appreciate the amount of work that goes into working on one. :2thumbs:
