Built around the boat—not a generic package.
Fading, oxidation, staining, interiors, metals, and protective finishes can vary dramatically from one vessel to the next. Marine work is custom quoted after the boat and desired result are reviewed.
Oxidation removal
Targeted removal of chalky, dull oxidation followed by polishing and protection selected for the condition of the surface.
Boat washing & detailing
Thorough exterior cleaning, surface cleaning, stain treatment, drying, and finish protection for a cleaner, sharper appearance at the dock or on the trailer.
Interior & upholstery
Marine seating, compartments, flooring, carpet, upholstery, and touch surfaces cleaned with methods appropriate for the materials and environment.
Metal polishing & protection
Polishing for compatible rails, fittings, and metal surfaces, along with protection options to help preserve the completed result.
