Boat Maintenance: How to Repair Gelcoat Cracks

Boat Maintenance: How to Repair Gelcoat Cracks.

img scr:cloudfront.net

Have you fallen behind on your boat maintenance schedule? Your gel coat will be the first part of the vessel to show visible signs of your neglect. Gel coat repair is pretty easy if you know how to spot the nicks, dents, gouges, and scratches that can potentially compromise your hull’s resistance to water.

The sun’s ultraviolet rays can harm your boat’s gel coat just as much as wind and water can.

That said, it’s always recommended to work on the gel coat someplace shady, or during an overcast day. You don’t want the sun damaging the paint-job in between gel coat applications, so you better choose an appropriate place to work first. Check out a previous blog post about boat cleaning products, too. Proper boat keeping is reflected in your boat’s overall appearance, and the gel coat is the most obvious indicator of your boat’s health.

If your gel coat already shows signs of aging, it’s time to repair it or to reapply a fresh layer to revitalize your boat’s look.

Your gel coat may be tough, but it will succumb to the constant battering of the marine environment over time. To maintain your gel coat and your hull’s integrity, follow this simple gel coat repair guide:

1. Check for the oxidation levels on your gel coat.

If you’re pretty conscientious about your boat’s gel coat, you might not need to go to the extreme action of reapplying new gel coat. For mild oxidation, you will just have to apply a fiberglass cleaner that will restore the shine and take out the dirt. You can fill in the cracks and microscopic pitting with carnuba wax or a sealant.

2. Medium oxidation will require a more rigorous process.

You will need some fibreglass filler and hardener to fill in the cracks. Sand the areas you want to fill in to allow the fibreglass filler to bond better with the existing layer of gel coat. Apply the mixture with a putty knife, leveling it out with the surrounding area as necessary.

3. For heavy oxidation, you have no choice but to sand the remaining gel coat and apply a fresh coating.

This will take more time, but you will have to perform the job as early as possible or risk incurring higher repair costs for other parts of the boat that may be affected by a water breach. Use a fine grit sandpaper to smooth out the cracks and prep the surface of your boat. You can also remove the old gel coat with acetone. Once the hull is completely dry, you can apply the gel coat with a spray applicator or a paintbrush, whichever works best for you.

Gel coat is usually applied in multiple layers to ensure maximum protection for your hull.

It can be as thick as 35 mils or four layers deep. Gel coat will eventually shrink and thin throughout the years, so you have to keep an eye on it every now and then to determine if it’s time for a fresh coating.

If you love your boat but feel you’e not up for the job to repair your gelcoat yourself,

give us a call – we specialize in boat detailing services!

How to Clean Your Boat Engine

How to Clean Your Boat Engine

img scr:chicagonow.com/illinois-outdoors

Just like any other machine, your boat needs constant care and attention to run properly for as long as possible. Your boat is subjected to wind, water, and wear every time you go out for a dip. No matter how beautiful or solid your boat may look like from the outside, it is still necessary for you to look into its hidden components every once in a while to see if they need cleaning.

Your boat engine is an especially iffy part,

and you might not think that it requires cleaning and care, but it does. Good boat-keeping means ensuring that each and every part of your boat is properly cared for.

Overall, the best way to keep your floater looking good and running well is to ensure that it is thoroughly cleaned and detailed regularly. Even simple tasks—like hosing the boat down with freshwater after every trip or applying a marine protectant on the gel coat –will go a long way towards preserving its beauty and utility for the years to come.

 When it comes to cleaning your boat engine, you don’t need to be an expert boat mechanic to pull off the job properly. Here’s what you can do to maintain your boat on your own:

Seven steps how to clean your boat engine (outboard)

1. Flush out the engine after every trip with freshwater. Whether you’ve come from a freshwater or saltwater marine excursion, make sure that you rinse the outboard boat engine with freshwater after every outing.

2. Slip on a set of rabbit ears to the part where the water is picked up, then attach a garden hose onto it. Start up the engine and let the water pump do the rest of the job, but check the water flow to determine if you have debris stuck somewhere inside the outflow pump.

3. If the water doesn’t come out strong, shut the engine down first. Insert a small piece of wire into the outflow pump tube and work it back and forth until the debris is loosened and flows out with the water.

4. After flushing, disconnect the fuel lines and turn the engine on once more. Let it use up all the fuel in the carburetor, and then switch off the batteries.

5. Remove the engine cowling and inspect the engine block for fuel or water leaks. If you detect one, be sure to contact your boat mechanic immediately as you will probably be unqualified to do this part of the job.

6. If your engine is in good working order, wipe it off with clean washcloth and spray on a generous amount of anti-corrosive product such as WD-40. Apply a lubricant onto the moving parts to keep them working seamlessly.

7. Replace the cowling and wipe it down with a clean cloth. Protect the outboard engine with a tarp or plastic cover whenever the boat is dry-docked.

If you’re ready to move on from cleaning your boat engine to overall boat detailing DIY job, check out our boat detailing step-by-step guide on the topic!

How to Start a Home-based Car Detailing Business

Posted by BAsafa on May 16th, 2013
How to Start a Home-based Car Detailing Business

img scr:etsystatic.com

Whether you are looking for ways to augment your family’s income by delving into entrepreneurship, or you just want to indulge in a lifelong passion for cars, now is the best time for you to invest in the automotive detailing industry.

The market is growing in leaps and bounds, and technological developments ensure that there will always be something exciting to watch out for. Car care experts are constantly trying to reinvent their cleaning methods to keep up with the rigorous environmental regulations and their customers’ demand.

The best thing about the car detailing industry is that you will have lots of information to work with before finally deciding on how to run the business.

The first thing you should ask yourself is: Do I want to put up my own company or am I happy to buy an existing franchise?

This question is the starting point for your home-based detailing business.

On the other hand, you might also want to simply invest in an existing car detailing franchise and save yourself the trouble of going through all the license processes, capitalization, and due diligence work that comes with setting up a company from scratch. You only need to learn the business model properly, assess the competition in your locality, and start producing your advertising materials. You will still have to do some paperwork for your business, but the parent company can help you negotiate the maze more quickly and efficiently than if you had to do it on your own.

Next, you have to determine if you want to offer mobile detailing services, on-site detailing or both.

This is a critical question as it determines both how much capital you need, which cleaning equipment you have to stock up on, and how long you have to wait before you get a return on your investment. Mobile detailing will require specialized tools and equipment that you might not need for plain vanilla detail work, and vice versa.

A thorough and accurate feasibility study will certainly help you evaluate which of these three options is best for you. Typically, budding entrepreneurs who want to run a home-based business will go for the mobile detailing way, just because it saves them from having to put up and maintain a physical facility.

However, you can also go the other way and simply make your home your business headquarters, too. Just because you’re operating in your own garage doesn’t mean that you won’t have a healthy number of clients availing of your services regularly. If you play your cards right, you will soon be thinking about upgrading into a bigger, more well-equipped physical facility to conduct your services in.

Once you’ve decided which way to go, you can finally start building your business empire proper.

You can indulge in guerrilla-style advertising by taking advantage of your online social networks and telling people to tell their friends about your business. Complement this with traditional printed materials such as fliers, decals, and business cards, and you’re good to start your very own business advertising campaign.

If you’re really interested into starting your own home-based car detailing business,

check out some more questions to consider before starting your own auto detailing business or visit DetailXPerts Franchise website for more opportunities.

Carnauba Wax vs Polymer Sealant

Posted by BAsafa on May 13th, 2013
Car Wax vs Paint Sealant

img scr.oregonccca.com

Ever wonder why your neighbor’s car looks infinitely more gorgeous than yours? The secret could be that he knows how to pick the right car cleaning products to use even for DIY detailing. If you’re unfamiliar with the merits of polymer sealant vs wax or carnauba wax vs synthetic wax, you won’t know how to choose the appropriate item to keep your car looking just as good as your neighbor’s.

For a thoroughly impressive appearance, it’s never enough to simple wash and scrub the dirt off your car.

The extra step of paint protection is a necessary investment that will pay off big time in the long run. When your paint-job is perfectly preserved, you can forget about having your car repainted in the years to come.

Which product should you choose?

Natural carnauba wax (we’ve mentioned it before in relation to motorcycle detailing) and synthetic polymer sealant are equally effective at sealing in your car’s freshly-cleaned look and protecting the clear coat. Both are equally good at creating a hydrophobic layer that protects you car against water, the elements, and road contaminants. Both also add vibrancy to your car’s paintjob by giving it an extra sheen and allowing the surface to reflect more light.

Now here’s the differences between these two products.

Carnauba wax is a natural protectant, giving your vehicle a “three-dimensional” shine that makes the colors deeper, darker, and richer. Carnauba is derived from a type of palm tree that is native to Brazil, but sometimes it is also mixed in with beeswax and other natural substances. If you have a dark-colored vehicle, carnauba wax might be the better option for you.

The downside to this is that carnauba wax tends to thin and wear off after a shorter period of time compared to polymer sealants.

Polymer sealants, which are made from plastic-based formulas instead of organic substances, can hold up against worse weather for longer. In turn, a freshly sealed car will look better for longer than a freshly waxed vehicle. Using a polymer sealant will also mean that you might not have to have your car detailed for longer, because it will certainly retain its like-new appearance for months and months. Depending on the weather conditions in which you drive, a good coating of polymer sealants can last up to four months.

The bad thing about polymer sealants is that they don’t produce that slick, glossy finish that carnauba wax can.

Moreover, instead of masking small defects and minor imperfections, polymer sealants can actually call attention to the things that make your car less beautiful to look at. Carnauba wax can downplay the swirls in the paintjob and hide the scratches and scrapes that are strewn all across the car’s surface.

To find out which product is best for your vehicle,

it’s best to experiment with both protectants and test their capabilities on your own. Durability is certainly a strong point for polymer sealants, but the beauty that carnauba wax can give your vehicle is also a something to consider. Whichever product you eventually choose, be sure to follow the package instructions for proper application and storage of the leftover product.

How to Steam Clean Car Rims

Posted by BAsafa on May 9th, 2013

How to Steam Clean Car Rims

Some car owners are meticulous enough to include certain easy-to-neglect parts of their car during every cleaning chore, such as the wheel arches and tire rims. You might not consider your tires (and the entire wheel area in general) as an integral part of your car, but they actually bear the brunt of your everyday travels. The tires and wheel wells are exposed to contaminants, road dirt, and brake dust every time you drive.

Your car is not completely clean if the tires and car rims are in dire need of some attention. A flashy, shiny paint-job can only take you so far, because the dust and mud marks on your tires can destroy the impressive look you’re going for.

Dish washing soap and water can work only up to a certain point, and soon enough you will need to turn to something a little stronger—but still gentle—to get rid of the dirt on your car rim.

Here’s what you can do to steam clean your car rims and bag that comprehensive clean that you’ve always wanted:

  1. Direct the steam clean nozzle on the tire rims.

    That’s right—you don’t need to prep the car rims in any way before you can eliminate those ugly dirt marks marring the beautiful finish of your car rims. Car rims and tires are among the most expensive exterior components of your vehicle, so protecting and preserving them should be at the top of your car care list. Using steam on a dirty car rim will immediately break up the encrusted dirt. You don’t need to apply any harsh chemical solution on the surface and allow it to soak for a specified number of minutes before you can work away at the dirt.

  2. Wipe away the leftover dirt with a non-abrasive wash cloth.

    Your car rim can be easily scratched by pebbles or sharp objects. Improper cleaning tools can add to the damage. Be sure to use only soft, non-abrasive cloths when wiping away at the dirt that may still be clinging onto the car rim. After repeated wipes, you will notice that the metal finish will regain some of its sparkle. Only the worst contaminants will be left clinging on your car rim, but if you can live with them for a little longer, you don’t have to replace the rims altogether just yet.

  3. While you’re at it, you can steam clean the wheel arch as well.

    Just repeat the process for steam cleaning the car rim and you’ll instantly notice how much brighter and snazzier your car will look after you’re done cleaning the rims and arches.

  4. Don’t forget to apply a good rim protectant product to lock in that shiny look.

Steam cleaning your car rims is by far the quickest, most efficient, and most eco-friendly way you can care for them. If you don’t feel like DIY detail today,

Why Steam Is The Best Way to Cleaning Car Rims

Posted by BAsafa on May 6th, 2013
Why Steam Is The Best Way to Cleaning Car Rims

img scr.i4.ytimg.com

When cleaning your car, you want to pay attention to the areas that naturally draw the eyes, such as the windshield, the hood, the leather seats, and the side mirrors. Very few car owners think to look under the hood and check whether the components in there already require serious cleaning. But the fact remains that there are certain areas in your car that are usually overlooked when you go for a DIY clean, such as the underbody, the engine compartment, and the wheel rims.

Cleaning car rims requires more than just splashing water on the tires and wheel wells.

Your rims and tires are some of the most expensive parts of your car’s exterior, so it’s in your best interest to put adequate effort into cleaning them.

Driving for even a few minutes under fair weather conditions on concrete roads will still subject your tires to considerable wear and tear. Road dirt can cling to the rims, trapping moisture and encouraging oxidation and corrosion over time. Brake dust caused by the friction between your rotors and brake pads can also eat away at the beautiful metal finish.

Some car owners prefer to use a mild car wash solution and water on the car rims. While this may suffice for everyday car cleaning, it’s still better to go for steam cleaning every once in a while to get impressive shiny results that last for a much longer period of time.

Advantages of steam cleaning your car rims

The finish on most metal car rims is extremely sensitive, and they can be damaged if you continue to use harsh cleaning products and solutions on them. Steel wool, stiff bristle brushes, and abrasive scouring pads can all scratch the metal finish.

To really take out the dirt from your car rims and restore them to their previous pristine condition, it is best to use steam cleaning technology. A steam cleaning machine delivers pressurized steam that can emulsify and lift the dirt off your car rim quickly and effectively.

With steam cleaning, you don’t have to use too many cleaning products and implements on your car rims. A little bit of water and a microfiber wash mitt is all you need to get the job done properly. You don’t have to agitate the dirt or allow chemicals to sit on the metal finish before the dirt can be scraped off.

Steam cleaning does not result in any dirty, chemical-laden runoff that can potentially harm the environment, so you can rest easy in the knowledge that you achieved perfect cleaning results without contributing to our planet’s water pollution problems.

If you haven’t replaced your car rims in a long while, you cannot completely get rid of contaminants that have found their way into the metal, such as stubborn tar spots, old glue residue, and other contaminants. However, steam cleaning your car rims can still get rid of those unsightly dirt marks, and improve the overall look of your car.

Car Underbody Care: Chassis Cleaning

Posted by BAsafa on May 2nd, 2013
Car Underbody Care

img scr.cleanup.co.uk

Unless you are an experienced car enthusiast or an amateur car mechanic, you are not expected to actually know all the bits and pieces that make up your car’s underbody. For one thing, not all car owners are intent to get acquainted with these greasy, grimy components. For another, under car cleaning is not a job for the fainthearted. It requires a certain level of skill, experience, and willingness to get dirty. Giving your road warrior proper car care means knowing when you can perform adequate DIY cleaning jobs, and when you need to call professional detailers.

Car underbody cleaning is one of those chores that are best performed by the experts,

but if you feel confident about tinkering with your chassis every now and then, here are some helpful tips to get you going:

  1. Gather all the tools you will need.

    Working with your car’s under-body is not the same as simply splashing water on the exterior. You will have to work with the nether parts of your car to dislodge grimy, rusty debris and to apply degreaser where needed. That said, you should all have the tools you will use for the job within arm’s reach. Some of the things you need to do a thorough car chassis cleaning are brushes (of varying stiffness), tweezers, heavy-duty wash mittens, hose with spray nozzle, degreaser, car wash solution, 3-in-1 oil, and a small Phillips screwdriver, among others. If you prefer, you can wear latex gloves to keep your hands clean as you work.

  2. Set the car’s emergency brake.

    Loosen the lug nuts on your rear wheels, but don’t remove them completely yet. Use a floor jack to raise the rear end of your vehicle to a comfortable working level and prop them up with jack stands. You can now take out the car’s rear wheels for better access to the wheel arches.

  3. Spray the car’s underbody with water to loosen the debris clinging to the surfaces.

    Apply the cleaning solution to the entire area and leave it to soak for up to 15 minutes. When that’s done, you can scrub away the caked-on dirt with a stiff brush or a wash mitt. You can also use tweezers for the more stubborn debris. Apply degreaser for those portions of the underbody that still have grease and grime on them.

  4. Spray the car with water once more to get the dirt to break up more easily and wash off of the chassis.

    Dry the chassis with a clean microfiber cloth. Focus on the painted surfaces—you don’t want moisture sitting on the paint and penetrating it to promote rusting underneath.

  5. Squeeze a drop of 3-in-1 oil to each of the motor shaft bearings and the axles.

    Be sure to wipe off any excess oil as it will attract dirt and dust even after you’ve cleaned the chassis. Replace your car’s back wheels, secure the lug nuts, and jack up the car to remove the jack stands. Once the car is flat on the ground again, tighten the lug nuts on your rear wheels completely.

  6. Repeat the same process for the front area of your car.

Now, tell us in the comments how your first DIY car underbody chassis cleaning went or even better – post some pics on our on our Facebook page ;-)

Is Dishwashing Detergent Safe for Car Finishes?

Posted by BAsafa on April 29th, 2013
Is Dishwashing Detergent Safe for Car Finishes

img scr.madeinjapanmorganhill.com & img scr.automateusa.com

Sure, we have all been guilty of neglecting our cars every now and then. We might have forgotten to pencil in an appointment with our favorite detailer in town. We might have missed engaging some DIY cleaning for a couple of weeks already, or perhaps we were simply too lazy to clean out the trash in the trunk, dashboard, and door wells. We haven’t shaken out the mats and carpets in ages, and those are now dusty, dirty, and moldy.

But the gravest sin you can commit against your car is using the wrong type of cleaning products.

Instead of picking out soft, non-abrasive microfiber wash mittens for scrubbing your car finish, or opting for a chamois cloth for buffing and polishing your headlights, you might have gotten a stiff brush instead. Or, instead of getting effective yet eco-friendly chemical cleansers, you chose to go with a liquid dishwasher detergent for getting rid of the dirt on your car.

You might not realize that incorrect decisions like these will eventually mar the beauty of your car in the long run. The effects of a stiff brush or a harsh chemical cleanser may not be readily apparent, but frequent use will definitely leave its mark on the car finish.

Selecting quality cleansers for your car

Your car is made up of tough materials that are meant to withstand everyday wear and tear as well as general neglect. Car finishes are especially sturdy, and rightly so. They have to weather the elements and stay strong enough to survive minor bumps, scrapes, and gouges. Just a small amount of the right car shampoo will eliminate caked-on dirt, mud, dust, and scrum and restore your car’s bright appearance in no time at all.

But using liquid dishwashing detergent to clean your car regularly is never a good idea,

because it will strip away the wax, polish, and protectants that you have applied the last time your car was detailed properly. Some of us have chosen to stick with liquid detergent for a variety of reasons: we can’t be bothered to run to the auto supply shop to buy car soap, we need to skimp on the car care expenses, we want to try out a new cleaning product. And yet,

only car soap can provide quality cleaning results without harming the finish of your car or encouraging the accumulation of swirl marks and streaks.

Liquid detergent contains ingredients that might leave behind unsightly marks when your car finally dries, requiring you to wipe down the car again before applying paint sealant.

Car soap is also especially formulated to get rid of all the surface dirt from your car finish with minimal effort. Any brand should do, for as long as it fits your budget and your needs. Liquid dish washing detergent will take time to act on the crud that’s sticking onto your car because it is not meant to work on such tough dirt. So, the next time you’re tempted to replace your car soap with liquid detergent, better think of the long-term effects of switching. Better yet, try car steam cleaning to keep both your car finish and the environment safe ;-)

How to Prevent Headlights from Yellowing

Posted by BAsafa on April 25th, 2013
How to Prevent Headlights from Yellowing

img scr.thebalancingact.com

Have you noticed how your headlights seem to be turning murky and dim over time? You might have thought that the bulbs need to be swapped out, but sometimes the problem is much simpler than needing replacement bulbs for your headlight.

Headlight yellowing is a rather common occurrence,

and you can definitely spot these unsightly parts on cars of all shapes and sizes. Despite this, you don’t have to live with ugly headlights for the rest of your car’s lifetime. You can keep your headlights from yellowing by doing a bit of easy cleaning every few weeks.

Milky headlights don’t just downgrade your car’s overall appearance. It can also become a safety concern when you’re driving at night or under bad weather conditions. How many times have you missed the correct street or ramp just because you didn’t see the road signs in time? Or how many times have you struggled to drive turtle-slow on rain-slick roads because you can’t see more than two feet ahead of your front bumper?

Constant exposure to air pollution, road dust, ultraviolet rays from the sun, and other everyday contaminants will eventually wear away the crystal clear brightness of your headlights.

Most cars today are equipped with plastic headlights, and these harmful elements can turn your headlights yellow if you’re not careful about keeping it clean and shiny. Older models that come with glass headlights will not suffer yellowing, but of course they are much more fragile and prone to permanent damage.

The good news is that your plastic headlights usually sustain only superficial damage, and with a bit of work and the right tools, you can restore your headlights to a sparkling shine in no time at all. Allowing the headlights to wallow in their murky state will only make the plastic brittle and dry over time, and soon enough you will see small hairline cracks developing on the lenses.

To begin your headlight restoration work, grab a reputable headlamp repair kit from your detailer’s shop or from a hardware store.

The kit will contain everything you need to do the job properly, from several pieces of varied grade sandpaper to latex gloves to polishing compound. Throw in a couple of soft sponges to work with, and you’re ready to get as close to a clear factory finish as you can.

Because your headlight is made of plastic, you can easily get rid of the dirt by using wet sandpaper on it. This will take you anything from twenty to forty-five minutes, depending on how far along the yellowing has damaged the surface. This process will also feather out the small gouges on the lens, giving you a flat and clean surface to apply the polishing compound on.

To seal your headlight’s clarity, you can also purchase two extra products: a small tub of headlight restoration crème and a bottle of clear coat sealer. While these two kit-exclusive products will jack up the restoration cost a bit, the results you will get after the cleanup is completed will definitely be worth the extra investment.

DIY Headlights Restoration: Cleaning Cloudy Foggy Headlights

Posted by detailxperts on April 22nd, 2013
DYI Headlights Restoration: Cleaning Cloudy Foggy Headlights

img scr.kombos.com.cy

Giving your car a much-needed makeover takes time, money, and effort. However, you should remember that cleaning your car means that you have to pay attention to all its various components, including the areas you didn’t think would need regular cleanup, such as the engine compartment, the chassis, and the head- and taillight. That’s right—

Your lighters need to be wiped down, waxed, and polished every once in a while, just like the rest of your car.

You can call in a professional detailer to perform most of these jobs, but if you don’t mind a bit of DIY headlight restoration, then you can take the matter in your own hands. Whoever said that you need to rely on the experts for all your car care needs has no love for his car.

Cloudy, foggy headlights can be such a hassle when you’re driving in bad weather, or even when the road you’re on is not well-lit.

Apart from the obviously limited use you’ll get out of your dirty headlights, they can also be such an eyesore in broad daylight. What good is a car that gleans with freshly-applied wax if the lights on it are dull and dark?

Whether your car is only a few years old or a vintage piece, your headlights might already start yellowing and fogging over. The sun, other weather conditions, and plain ageing can all work against the beauty and functionality of your car’s headlights. If you want to make your car’s headlights to look better and actually work well, you better pick up your car cleaning tools now and get to work.

The good thing about car headlight restoration is that you can purchase an all-inclusive headlight cleaning kit at your favorite automotive supply store.

The kit will typically contain some pieces of sandpaper of varying grades, a non-abrasive wash cloth, a pair of latex gloves, and a bottle of plastic restoration polish.

Before you work on milky headlights, remove the bonnet and put waterproof tape all around the headlight and the bumper. This will ensure that sanding water, dust, and stray drops from the cleaning agent will not affect other portions of your car.

Now you’re ready to do some elbow work. Wash the headlight with a generous amount of water, and then begin wet-sanding the entire headlight. The time it takes for you to get rid of the yellowish color and to even out small nicks depends on how badly yellowed your headlight has become. While sanding, you don’t have to apply too much pressure as you scrape the headlight back and forth. You can simply swap the sandpaper for a higher-grade piece if you need to work on deeper gouges or dirtier areas.

When that’s done, you will notice that your headlight will have become clean once again, but it will not be crystal clear yet.

To get that extra impressive result, you need to apply the polishing compound to bring out the beauty of your headlight. You will notice that your headlights will acquire a crystal clear finish that makes it look like new again.

If you don’t feel like DIY headlight restoration, call us at 877-317-9737 and see how we can help!
