The goal is to work smarter, not harder, ensuring a thorough yet time-efficient process. Part of that means completing all cleaning tasks before machine-scrubbing the non-skid surfaces so when you wash the interior, the residue from cleaning will be rinsed away. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMetal Polishing to Remove Oxidation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudents will learn to remove oxidation and restore the shine to polished metal surfaces.

These specialized products are both effective and safe for humans and the marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCleaning and Protecting Vinyl Surfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoats often feature extensive vinyl surfaces, such as seats, leaning posts (also known as rocket launchers), and interior bolsters. Students will learn how to clean vinyl by machine and protect the surface after. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlastic Windscreen \u0026amp; Isinglass Polishing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany boats have plastic windscreens and Isinglass windows that accumulate swirls, scratches, and water spots. Students will learn how to machine polish these surfaces to remove defects and restore optical clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRemoving Oxidation, Mold, Stains \u0026amp; Mildew from Non-Skid\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudents will learn how to machine scrub molded-in non-skid surfaces, which are among the most challenging areas to maintain. Scrubbing by machine effectively removes oxidation, stains, mold, and mildew while brightening and sanitizing the surface. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBoat Interior Washing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter cleaning individual surfaces, students will wash the entire interior from the highest point and working down. Techniques include the use of a pressure washer to ensure a thorough clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMachine Polishing Interior Gelcoat Surfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard, glossy gelcoat surfaces inside the boat have less oxidation than the exterior but still require polishing and protection.

This method offers an alternative to multi-step processes, and students will learn when to apply each approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\t\t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\t\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tab_location-\u0026amp;-lodging\" class=\"panel entry-content\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-location-\u0026amp;-lodging\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\" id=\"row-1977592258\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"col-1922779623\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"col-inner\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"\u003eLocation \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"\u003eThis training course will be held at the Dr. Beasley’s Operating Room in Stuart, Florida.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/Ai4ktup43cAE6yCdA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"\u003eDr. Beasley’s Operating Room\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e7934 SW Jack James Drive\u003cbr\u003eStuart, FL 34997\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"\u003eLodging \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca class=\"link link--external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marriott.com\/en-us\/hotels\/pbist-courtyard-stuart\/overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-proxy-href=\"\/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.marriott.com%2Fen-us%2Fhotels%2Fpbist-courtyard-stuart%2Foverview%2F\u0026amp;hash=1f9b13d8b63dc1fcaca0dc6c449f32da\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCourtyard Stuart\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7615 SW Lost River Road\u003cbr\u003eStuart, Florida 34997\u003cbr\u003e772-781-3344\u003cbr\u003eAmenities: In-house restaurant, Starbucks and full bar.
