Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How often should I have my boat professionally detailed?
A: For boats stored in the water or exposed to direct sunlight, we recommend a Comprehensive Detail at least once per season. A Maintenance Wash can be done monthly or bi-weekly depending on use.
Q: What is oxidation, and why is it bad?
A: Oxidation is what happens when the sun’s UV rays break down the gelcoat’s resins, leaving a dull, chalky, or faded finish. If left untreated, the gelcoat will thin out, exposing the fiberglass beneath and potentially requiring more expensive repairs later. Our detailing process removes this layer and protects against future damage.
Q: Do you detail pontoon boats?
A: Absolutely. We detail all types of boats, including pontoons, runabouts, ski boats, wakesurfing boats, and cruisers.
Q: What products do you use?
A: We only use premium, marine-specific compounds, polishes, and waxes that are safe for your gelcoat, vinyl, and metal components. We never use harsh household cleaners that can damage marine surfaces.
