What boats need
Sun, hard water and whatever the lake leaves behind. Gelcoat oxidises faster than automotive paint and shows it sooner, usually along the rub rail and the transom first.
Water spotting is the second problem. Minerals left behind after a wash in direct sun bake into the surface and do not rinse off later.
The answer is the same sequence used on a car. Clean thoroughly, decontaminate, correct where the surface allows, then protect it properly so the next season starts from a better place.
The approach
Hull and topsides
- Thorough wash and decontamination
- Oxidation addressed by machine where the gelcoat allows
- Hardware and trim cleaned around
- Protection applied to hold the finish
Inside
- Upholstery cleaned by material
- Storage and floor areas vacuumed and cleaned
- Glass and screens cleaned
- Surfaces protected against UV
Pricing
What it costs.
Every vehicle is different. Final pricing depends on condition, size and the services selected.
Boat work is quoted on site. Length, the state of the gelcoat and whether the vessel is trailered or in a slip all change the scope. Call (210) 363-7307 or request a quote with a couple of photos.

Questions
Boat Detailing
in detail.
Anything not answered here, call (210) 363-7307. You will get a person.
Do you come to the boat?
Yes. We are fully mobile and bring our own water and power, so we can work where the boat is stored or parked.
Can oxidised gelcoat be brought back?
Often, yes, depending on how far it has gone and how much material there is to work with. We will tell you honestly what is achievable before starting.
Can a boat be ceramic coated?
Ceramic protection is available. We will advise on the right product once we have seen the surface.
How is it priced?
On site, after inspection. Size and condition vary far too much for a published price to be useful.
