Thanks for the video, I am shocked to learn all of this as I work for an outfit in Dartmouth MA, we, as a company use to build boats, Concordia, now we are in the business of storage both inside and out. When the boats sit inside all season, they have us work on them with an inch of dust where we can’t wash because as you know boats are stacked, besides boat wash, any idea? At this point vacuum
& apply product & in my opinion, there has to be something better? Thanks

Great video gents, thanks for sharing. What size deck brushes? 6"?

[johnhubbard]

Thank you for the video - Smooth Wash contains a wax, does not say if you can Ceramic or Fire Glaze over it.

[JoeshualVelezCuevas]

what type of soap was used again? how long does this basic wash take on average? and do you have a video of a full detail of a boat and how long does that take on average?

[Jessedog]

boats are a LOT of work. but are a lot of fun.

[demanx]

Did he just say that the roof gets dirty due to Airplanes flying above??? @4:30 👀

[edwardranno]

How about the bottom and motor maintenance?

[frankryan]

Where does all the dirty water go? My boat drains through the hull but I don’t see a lot of soap surrounding the boat… ?

[andrewgentry]

What should I use for the stuff growing on my sailboat?

[jeffreyvonstetten]

Since the yellow one on the brushes was kind of risky, why not just use the blue brush all the way through?

My second question is when you rinse off these boats with the hoses where does the water come from? Are you plugging into water on the boat? Are there faucets nearby? How does that usually work?

4:38 Airplane It's on the top so it can only be from an airplane I guess. Not just from good old wind or anything.

What do you guys use to protect and clean stainless steel/aluminum t tops etc?

[BeltwayBoysPodcast]

[jreca]

[colindavis]

What product from smoove is the boat wash

[roywilkowski]

I've been a sailor for 40 years and have owned seven sailboats and lived aboard most of those years. The boat owners that really make me shake my head are those utilizing a pressure washer.

[bojanjovanovic]

bruh they are cleaning a clean detailed boat.... which they detailed obviously, with planes above them wraching havoc and all.
Im trying to figure out where to begin with mine... His dirty ain't mine dirty if you know what i mean xD

[LuckyMike]

Why aren’t they just pressure washing? This seems like the harder way to wash the boat.

[sepharad]

Just starting the video and forced to stop to comment on the pointless and intrusive MUSIC. Is this an MTV video or an informational video? It's not as intrusive as some but makes me want to stop LISTENING in order to shut off the noise.

If you didn’t wash the hull you are not certified…. Bet you that hull was salty
