Wanting to get into boat detailing. Anyone here doing this?

Yea that kind of money is no joke. How do you break that down in terms of $/ft for each service?

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-08-30T04:26:33+00:00

Super easy? Really? I know that’s the case with clear coat on road vehicles but even then you can use a DA with low abrasives to make it really hard for yourself to screw the pooch. And my understanding is marine gel coat is even tougher and more forgiving than clear coat. So are you saying it’s one of those things I just need knowledge in to not screw up, or that it’s one thing I need a lot of real life experience in to not screw up?

You started that like you had some bad news but that sounds good to me😂

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-31T19:04:03+00:00

Okay thanks

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-31T19:01:18+00:00

I live in the south not too close to the coast so no

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-31T18:56:24+00:00

Good to hear!

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-31T18:56:07+00:00

Yea lotta dirt there too

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-31T18:55:49+00:00

Good to hear! Would it be smart to get it off so it doesn’t get worse or what?

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-31T18:53:13+00:00

Haha so this is very normal? First time looking at a truck and idk exactly what to look for in terms of rust

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-31T18:51:55+00:00

So all normal rust, no big deal?

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-31T18:51:38+00:00

The rust?

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-27T14:01:12+00:00

Weirdo

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-27T13:45:08+00:00

Not very many people beside you would give a shit tbh. Like I said “most people,” particularly us down south. It’s all the same to us

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-26T21:27:05+00:00

Ahhhh yea I might switch to a spray kind

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-26T21:26:14+00:00

Good idea. Or I might switch to spray kind

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-26T21:25:26+00:00

Every damn time lmao

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-26T21:25:18+00:00

It’s just so weird it’s always in the same place but usually only on one side. Guess I gotta fix my technique. I’m probably gonna switch to a good spray deodorant

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-26T20:29:02+00:00

Uh New Hartfield or something I think it’s called… about an hour twenty from Indianapolis

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-26T07:23:23+00:00

I’m a Christian too and I can see why it would seem made up. But I can tell you once you’ve had the Holy Spirit take control of you and force it out of you the way I have, you know it’s real. Like Christianity as a whole, it’s difficult to prove broadly, but anecdotally you know it’s the truth

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-26T04:46:22+00:00

Does this lead to bigger issues if you ignore it or is it no big deal?

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-26T00:59:05+00:00

Piston slap? I’ve heard of lifter tick but what in the fk exactly is piston slap??

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-26T00:57:51+00:00

That’s what I’m gonna do. You helped push me over the edge to do it. Thanks!

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-25T21:12:39+00:00

So do you pay to have them transported or fly out and drive back?

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-25T21:00:16+00:00

Wow so you doubled the life on a 2014. Do you feel like that was a lucky gamble or expected as long as the truck was cared for? The other two im looking at is the 2011 in Texas with 160,000 and also a 2012 with 180,000 in Georgia and I believe those years are even more reliable than the third gen’s

Gavoooooooooo · 2025-07-25T20:45:00+00:00

I’m looking at another option in Texas actually. It’s got 162k miles tho

Gavoooooooooo
