Default Boat detailer

It's been well over a year since I've had my bay boat in the water and let's just say the elements and lack of care has taken a toll on the fiberglass. After doing some research, I decided to try and clean, compound, and wax it. I stopped at Harbor Freight Friday topick up a dual action polisher and the boat gods must have been smiling down on me. I struck up a conversation with a guy who was picking up some buffing pads and he started telling me about his polisher and how it's been a great tool for him. He asked what I was detailing and he gave me that "he's in over his head" look when I told him. Noticing his smirk, I asked him what he does for a living and he just happened to say detailing! I asked what he charges and he said he would have to take a look at it so he followed me to my house to see the damage. He took a look and quoted me to wash, compound the exterior, and wax it. Ready for this????? $120 . I yelled out "SOLD!" I dropped the boat off at his house that night and he called me yesterday at lunch yesterday to tell me that it was ready! Here are some before shots........
