    Haven`t had any pain killers yet! I`ve been working at it for about 6 hours/day till I can`t hold the buffer above my head anymore then packing up and moving on to something else for the day. I think it took about 9 hours to complete the one side in the pic. I`ve got the other side about half done so I`ll be finishing today and then hopefully I won`t be seeing this boat again lol. Now on to a 25 foot speed boat next, we`ll see how that one goes!

    Boat/yacht detailing is no joke. I got kinda tricked into it, a few years ago, by some boaters that came into the bar I was working at. They were like, "you know how to detail a car?" I obviously said yes, and they said, "it`s like a big car... but you can`t really hurt the paint." 7 days later, on a 65` Sea-Ray, and popping Vicodin like they were M&M`s, I realized it was a LOT more than just a "big car." That paycheck at the end made it worth it, though.

    Just a follow up to this the customer was quite pleased with the results. There was a bit of learning to do here for me but I`ve got a good idea of what boat detailing is like now. Here`s the other side of the boat after:







    Thanks to greg nichols and vanity detailing for your help on this! I`ll definitely be picking up some of that meguiars mold compound for next time. Anyone know of a good online supplier? Also I did some research on a product called aqua buff found here:

    I`ll be ordering some of this to try it out as well. Carry on.
