This boat was well cared for, purchased new from a licensed dealer.
6 hours later, a complete detail brought back it's Showroom Finish.


Two white dots are non-removable scratches.


Prop has severe corrosion. Lowest portion of outdrive has non-removable scratches.

White scratches in photos below were removable.
Note level of reflection in gelcoat, compared to final shots.











Underside streaks.

Same shot, streaks removed via claybar'ing.

White coloring on claybar was unknown substance on underside. Still being analyzed. Gelcoats are clear so this must be some kind of factory "repair".

Closeup of white coloring on clay.

Several different areas on underside (before/after) claybar process.





After polishing/Leverage Waxing.
Astounding depth of reflection was achieved with this groundbreaking wax.


Now for the interior and topside shots. (pre cleaning)


Unusual polishing marks are from a previous detail, most likely from the dealer.
Initial wipedown, ready to polish.
Small square reflecitions in lexan covers are from light reflecting underneath.

Somehow I missed the best possible shots after polishing/waxing the topdeck.
This is a final shot, but doesn't show the intense reflections from the Leverage wax.

Owner inspecting final work.

Remember the outdrive's prior condition? The prop has been metal polished and now looks new.
Most of the lower scratches on the outdrive have been removed.

Prior to oxidation/corrosion removal.

The gleam you see in the previous photo is not photoshopped.
After polishing and applying Leverage wax, the outdrive regained it's new appearance.
The anodes show that they are doing their best to keep corrosion at bay, but in salt water they need to be changed regularly. Even when drydocked.
The following photos show the process of moving the boat to dry storage.

Ok, one more insane reflection shot!













26' Outlaw Baja. Drydocked in a 4 story sealed building. Nice.
Complete underside claybar'd and Leverage waxed.
Sides were heavy polished, light polished and Leverage waxed twice.
Interior was cleaned and conditioned.
Extremely nice boat!
How sweet is this? Two experienced heavy forklift operators guiding your boat onto custom made cradles and your boat completely secure from the elements AND theft.
