How to do a Gelcoat Test Spot
Before starting, we did a Gelcoat Test Spot to dial-in our process before tackling the entire boat. We also used this boat to show how to do a Gelcoat Test Spot in one of our LIVE Online Detailing Classes. Here's the link if you want to see the process.

We broadcast LIVE detailing classes from the Dr. Beasley's O.R. or Operating Room every Wednesday at 1:00pm Pacific Time or 4:00pm Eastern Time. To watch and interact, go to either of these social media platforms.

After the Gelcoat Test Spot - it was time to turn the class loose. First up - machine wet sanding using the 8mm gear-driven FLEX BEAST polishers.

Large, comfortable training center with LOTS of POWER!
The Stuart, Florida Training Center is huge with enough room to bring in 3 huge center console boats for our extreme boat detailing classes. We can also bring in and work on 3 cars at one time and we have the electrical power to run 20 rotary polishers at the same time and never throw a breaker.

I started the concept of roadshow detailing classes back in 2006 when I worked for another car care supply company. I've travelled around the United States of America and other countries around the world teaching detailing classes. The most difficult obstacle to overcome for the majority of shops I've taught classes in is POWER. To hold a great hands-on class you need lots of power. If the class is just sitting in chairs looking at a PowerPoint, then you don't really need any power, just chairs. LOL

Here's Meko using the cordless BEAST or CBEAST to machine wetsand the hull.

Here's DeAnne showing up all the big strong guys!

Joe and David tackle the stern

On the Port side, Derick, Crystal and Andy tackle the forward hull

This is my arm pulling back the aluminum pole that hold a plastic guide to help center and load or unload a boat so Thomas can fit the sanding disc into the section of boat hull behind the guide.

The reason we use gear-driven FLEX orbital polishers for machine sanding gelcoat boats is because there's ZERO sanding disc stalling. It the FASTEST tool for sanding down a boat.

Here's Jhonathan using the ORIGINAL FLEX BEAST!

Machine wetsanding gelcoat can be a tick on the messy side...

There's always a few thin panels and tight areas and for these areas, Daniel is using the FLEX PXE-80 with Eagle Abrasives by KOVAX sanding discs.

David is also using the FLEX PXE-80 to sand a section of gelcoat just above the Sportsman emblem.

Machine Dry Sanding
Just like the class used the machine dry sanding technique on the 1965 Ford Galaxie - now they're going to use this same technique for the final sanding step on the gelcoat finish on the Sportsman Center Console Boat. For this they will be using the Eagle Abrasives by KOVAX Super Buflex in K-2500.

Refining 2000 wet to 2500 dry
The goal is the same as it was for removing orange peel from the custom paint on the 1965 Ford Galaxie. That is to refine the coarser 2000 grit sanding marks to 2500 grit sanding marks. The added benefit to switching over to dry sanding with the Eagle Abrasives dry sanding system is this will act to level the gelcoat surface to make it flatter and thus smoother with great gloss and reflectivity.

Teamwork and Gelling
By the third day, everyone is gelling and working as a team. The days are long. The training is hard. But the end-results are these people will have learned a TON of skills, techniques and knowledge that will last them a lifetime. They will also know what to do and how to do it and just as important - what not to do.

Rotary work - removing the sanding marks - No pictures
We didn't get a single picture showing the rotary polisher, wool pad and NSP 150 Primer step. The reason why is because I always lead by example in our classes and in this context, this means I order to assist in removing 100% of the sanding marks, I grabbed a rotary polisher and joined in the fun. If any of the students that were in this class are reading this and if you have any pictures of the rotary step - please text or email them to me. -Thank you.

Machine polishing - removing the holograms and perfecting the gelcoat
Just like with the sanding and buffing work performed to the 1965 Ford Galaxie - after anytime you use a rotary polisher with some form of cutting pad - as a professional - you need to re-polish to remove any holograms.


Process
Dr. Beasley’s NSP 95 Primer
Dr. Beasley’s HDO Blue Cutting Pad
FLEX XC 3401 VRG 8mm gear-driven orbital polisher aka the BEAST
FLEX XCE 10-8 125 - 8mm Gear Driven Orbital Polisher – aka the Supa BEAST



On the Port side, we have Crystal and Jhonathan with Andy in the back machine polishing the gelcoat

On the Starboard side, we have from stern to bow - David, Joe, DeAnne and Daniel

Installing the Dr. Beasley's Boat Coat Pro Ceramic Coating
After all the polishing work was finished and the gelcoat was inspected and passed inspection (no sanding marks, no holograms), it was time to install the Dr. Beasley's Boat Coat Pro Ceramic Coating.


Dr. Beasley’s BOAT COAT PRO is a ceramic coating for boats that protects against stains, salt and oxidation, leaves a brilliant shine and won’t harm marine life or the environment.

• Protects against stains, salt and UV damage.
• Leaves mirror-like finish.
• Makes future cleaning faster and easier.
• Will not harm marine life or the environment.

Extreme Durability
Boat Coat Pro is a ceramic coating more durable than any boat wax you’ve used before, lasting up to a year or more in most environments.

Easy to Apply
Goes on easily with effortless take-off and can be applied in the sun. Perfect for DIYers and professionals alike.

Also Protects Non-Skid & More
Boat Coat Pro is protects a variety of marine vessel surfaces like non-skid surfaces, metal and engine cowlings.

Works in Both Fresh & Salt Water
Boat Coat Pro resists corrosion from salt water, making it great for protection whether you’re lakefront or oceanfront.

Ultra Smooth Finish
Bonds with gel coat to create an extremely slick finish that resists dirt, grime and micro scratches from washing.

Reduces Water Spotting
Hydrophobic properties help repel water away from the hull, preventing them from drying into potentially corrosive water spots


3 layers Dr. Beasley's Boat Coat Pro
In our extreme boat detailing classes, we install 3 applications of the Dr. Beasley's Boat Coat Pro with a 30-minute waiting time in-between each layer.

Here's the class getting it done!

4 passes using the overlapping crosshatch pattern
Below you'll see Daniel using a textbook example for how to apply the Dr. Beasley's Boat Coat Pro using an overlapping crosshatch pattern working the coating over the gelcoat 4 times to this section he's working.

Then Daniel's wife DeAnne, levels the coating and removes any excess coating

The team works together to get this 24' behemoth coated!

I'm starting to see light at the end of the tunnel!

Top side detailing
For the top side and all the smooth white gelcoat surfaces, we used the Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1. Z1 is an AIO or All-in-One. It removes oxidation, restores gloss and shine and leaves behind a layer of ceramic protection in a single step.


Here's Jhonathan using Z1 on the stern portion of the top cap

Before & After


Here's how this Sportsman Center Console looked when it arrived....

Here's how she looked after the class performed an extreme boat detailing makeover!

Look at the deep, well-defined reflections of the 1982 AMC Eagle and the 2011 Merecedes-Benz in the side of the hull!

Nothing exciting on the Port side to reflect in the ceramic coated gelcoat finish except the tool tables, cabinets and workbench - but I think you'll get the idea. The clas created a MIRROR shine finish on what previously was an extremely oxidized and salt water-stained gelcoat finish.

Yours truly...

Absolutely beautiful!

Here's the team that took neglected to respected!

Upcoming classes

We have published our schedule for detailing classes in the United States for 2024. If you find you're the type of person that learns better by doing than sitting in a chair. I STRONGLY urge you to do your own research. Try to find even a handful of pictures from other classes that SHOW YOU - what you're going to get to do if you take some other class. I've already looked. There's virtually nothing to see. Most of what you can find are people sitting in chairs while someone is talking and a PowerPoint slide on the wall behind them. Or you might find a picture or two of the class standing around a demo hood as the instructor performs a demonstration. If you're lucky, you might get to work on the demo hood.


The real-deal
When you take any of our classes, you're going to be on your feet, using your mind and your hands, training on the real-deal as the pictures shared here document. So do your research and when you realize we are the best game in town, the click the link below to find a class that suits your needs and get signed up!

Tape-off and Cover-up – students will learn which types of materials or areas should be covered and protected from machine buffing and product splatter.

How to do a Test Spot – The single most important thing you should do before any paint correction on anything is to do a proper Test Spot. The importance and value of doing a proper Test Spot is explained in detail. How and where to perform a Test Spot is taught in detail as well as how to inspect the results. How to dial-in the paint correction process is taught based upon results from Test Spot.

How to correctly use a Swirl Finder Light
Quality inspection lights are necessary throughout the detail process.

How to use a panel wipe to inspect for accurate and true paint correction.
Polishing oils, fillers, waxes, and other ingredients can give a false appearance causing you to think the defects are removed. We show how to use a panel wipe to obtain true and accurate results.



Paint Correction

How to correctly use a rotary polisher
This is the most powerful tool when it comes to doing paint correction. Correctly used it’s like a scalpel in the hands of a world-renowned surgeon. Improperly used and you can get into trouble real fast. In this first session covering the rotary polisher, you’ll learn foundational skills that you’ll build on over the course of the rest of the day as well as Saturday and Sunday.


How to use an orbital polisher
Orbital polishers are safe and effective, and you’ll learn all the correct techniques to maximize your time while consistently achieving pro quality results.



Installing a Ceramic Coating

How to use a panel wipe
A panel wipe is a solvent used to prep paint for installing a ceramic or graphene coating. In this class session, you’ll learn a 2-step approach to ensure the surface is surgically clean for maximum bonding, longevity, and performance for any coating you install.

How to install a ceramic coating

Mid-Morning Session - Machine Dry Sanding
How to machine sand custom paint to remove orange peel, dirt nibs and other surface texture to create a true show car finish on custom paint jobs

The highest skill and knowledge base most detailers strive to possess is how to carefully sand flat a custom paint job to remove orange peel and create a true show car finish with maximum D.O.I. or Distinction of Image.


Sanding paint
99.9% of the people on Earth should never sand paint. But for the 1% that have the desire to learn how to do it and do it right, this is the class for you. The ability and know-how to sand paint sets you apart from the rest of all the me-too detailers. Just being able to talk intelligently about it after gaining firsthand, real-world experience is worth the price of the class.


Overview
This class covers four different sanding techniques to level orange peel and other surface textures for creating a true show car finish with 100% D.O.I. as the goal.

D.O.I. = Distinction of Image
The goal when creating a true show car finish is to level the paint as flat as possible using sanding techniques and then after sanding, removing the sanding marks to restore a clear, high gloss shine.


Techniques covered,

• How to machine sand paint flat using 6” and 3” sanders.
• The proper use of rotary polishers, wool cutting pads to remove 100% of the sanding marks.
• How to use orbital polishers with foam pads to finish out hologram and swirl free finish.
• How to seal the paint using either a wax, paint sealant or ceramic coating.

Real cars – No demo hoods
Our classes are known for bringing in the real deal, that is instead of teaching you how to sand and buff on a demo hood, we bring in the coolest cars with fresh custom paint jobs and loads of orange peel for a truly authentic learning experience. Anyone can sand a section about the size of a microfiber towel on a flat panel waist high, learning how to tackle a real car is what’s really valuable and has IMPACT!


Dual Action Orbital Sanders
After doing a prep wash and any needed mechanical decontamination, students will learn how to use the Eagle Abrasives by KOVAX dry sanding system with 6” and 3” orbital sanders.

Rotary Polishers
After sanding the paint flat, students will draw from the foundational skills learned on Friday, like how to use a rotary polisher with an NSP Primer and a wool pad to remove 100% of the sanding marks without making mistakes.

Orbital Polishers
After removing all the sanding marks, next you’ll remove any holograms in the paint using orbital polisher and foam pads with NSP Primers. This step will maximize gloss and clarity while perfectly preparing the paint for installation of Dr. Beasley’s ceramic coatings.


Saturday late Afternoon session – 1-step paint correction using AIOs
This is a foundational skill everyone car owner should possess, and every professional should offer in their detailing business. This skill applies to anything with wheels, floats, or flies. The cars used for this training sessions will be the car used for the Extreme Prep Wash session earlier in the morning, thus these cars will be ready to work on without any washing or decontamination steps.

• Tape-off and cover-up plastic and other sensitive areas.
• Doing a Test Spot with an AIO.
• Choosing the right pad for the paint hardness and/or softness and why this is so important.
• How to turn the FLEX BEAST, Supa BEAST or CBEAST into a time-saving, brain saving, energy saving, money making machine.
• How and why to top an AIO.
• How to under promise and over deliver for customer’s expectations and dominate the competition.
• Finishing touches.

Meet ‘N Greet Saturday Night!
There will be an informal Meet ‘N Greet at a local establishment to be announced depending upon location.



Sunday - Extreme Boat Detailing

Machine Wet Sanding - Oxidation Removal – Rotary Polishers – Orbital Polishers – Gelcoat Ceramic Coatings

Start time
Class starts at 7:30am SHARP and goes on until the boat is finished, usually around 4:00pm to 5:00pm.


Overview
This class covers how to take the worst condition boats and restore them to factory new condition and actually better than factory new condition. Most boats brand new from the factory come with holograms already in the gelcoat finish. By using neglected gelcoat boats we are able to teach you every aspect of boat detailing. After taking the class you’ll be able to inspect a boat, determine which steps are needed to remove the oxidation in the fastest and most effective way and then install the Dr. Beasley's Marine Boat Coat Ceramic Coating to restore a show car finish to a boat.

Here’s what’s covered in this one-day boat detailing class,

• Boat washing inside and outside.
• How to clean non-skid surfaces to remove mold, mildew, and oxidation.
• How to clean vinyl seats and other vinyl surfaces while safely removing mold and mildew.
• Metal polishing and sealing.
• Plexiglass, Isinglass, plastic window polishing and ceramic coating.
• Top cap detailing – removing oxidation and sealing with a gelcoat ceramic coating.
• Exterior hull detailing – how to machine wet sand to remove deep oxidation.
• Rotary polisher techniques – how to remove your sanding marks and/or deep oxidation.
• Orbital polisher techniques – how to remove holograms and polish gelcoat to a high gloss.
• How to use a gelcoat panel wipe to prep the gelcoat for a ceramic coating.
• How to install a gelcoat ceramic coating and add additional layers.

Real boats in real bad condition
In this class students will learn and train on large, neglected center console boats. We purposefully track down and obtain large center console, dark-colored gelcoat boats that have turned visibly white with oxidation.

The reason for using extremely neglected boats is because they provide the ability to teach the MOST techniques. If we were to bring in a new boat with shiny gelcoat, all we could teach you is how to wash it and apply a spray wax. After the student has taken this class, they will possess the greatest knowledge base and the widest skill set to enable them to detail any condition boat from horribly neglected to brand spanking new. The class is solely set up for the students’ benefit so they can learn the most in a single day class.


Certification Award Ceremony
At the end of Sunday, you’re going to be tired! You’re also going to be among the elite in the world that have now made it through to the end of the 3rd day of the Dr. Beasley’s Future of Detailing, BIG 3-Day Detailing Classes! Your reward is the coveted certificate, signed by Mike Phillips that tells the world you survived and even thrived throughout the 3-day class.


Final questions, wrap-up and class is over!
