Buffing and Polishing

Sometimes the hullsides of your boat are far too oxidized for a simple coat of wax to bring back their shine. We never wet sand since that's almost always overkill and requires making the gelcoat permanently thinner in the process. 

What our process looks like:

  • Prep the hullside: wash, remove contaminants, and clear stains and calcium buildup

  • Buff with a premium cutting compound

  • Apply polish to bring out the shine

  • Finish off with marine wax for protection and performance

  • This process removes oxidation, swirl marks, and light scratches
    ​

Ceramic Coating

A good wax job is great, but that will only last a few months, while a marine ceramic coating will last years. Since boats are kept in one of the harshest environments, we don't guarantee a certain number of years they will last, but their performance. They offer UV protection, gloss retention, and excellent hydrophobic performance as long as they are properly maintained. Getting your boat ceramic coated is more cost-effective than having to get oxidation removal and wax every spring to keep it protected and looking nice.

Weekly and Bi-Weekly Washes

Keeping your boat clean can be quite a hassle and require a lot of time. We offer weekly and bi-weekly boat washes, so you don't have to clean your boat before every use. We wipe down the console, cupholders, seats, glass, transom, and floor, ensuring every area of the interior is clean and usable for your next time out.
