Deckhand Detailing News
Glossy on the left vs oxidized on the right.
New! One of the boat dealership and charter companies in Alaska was so impressed with the work we did on Little Dipper and other boats in the area, that they flew our wax crew to Alaska to wax some of their more heavily oxidized boats. It was cold and rainy the whole time, but our guys took these boats from chalky and oxidized to glossy and deep blue again.
Watch how they did it as they narrate their techniques, as well as talk about the types of supplies and gear they used. These videos are a great way to learn how to bring back heavily oxidized gel coat (especially on a colored hull) and make it glossy again. Click here to visit the playlist of videos on YouTube.
New! We've added articles, product reviews and "Ask the Detailer" questions and answers to the site that Natalie Sears has written. Browse through the articles to learn some new cleaning and detailing techniques and read through the product reviews to get our input on some of the new products out there, as well as our tried and true favorites. The "Ask the Detailer" section just might answer that burning question you've been hoping to get answered. (You can always contact us to ask your own question and we'll be happy to answer it in that section.)

Did you see our half-detailed boat at the September Boats Afloat Show? We had a display boat in the show that hadn't been cleaned in 12 years! We detailed half the boat so everyone can see just what we can do no matter how oxidized the gel coat or how dirty the boat. View our before and after videos here.
