Deckhand Detailing

We offer several different boat detailing services that will help protect your gel coat from the elements and help keep your boat, both the interior and exterior, clean and in good condition year round.

Our washes include washing the boat from the waterline up using a soap that does not strip wax. Our washes remove any salt, bird or spider droppings and water stains as well as most non-skid stains and dirt. We lift up hatches and clean the gutter track. We offer both one-time washes and recurring washes done every two, three or four weeks.

Depending on the condition of your gel coat, we do what it takes, whether it's a one-step (using just pure wax or a cleaner wax) or a two-step (using compound first and then wax) to remove the oxidation and bring a gloss back to your boat. All gel coat is different and before we get started, we assess the level of oxidation on the gel coat, the weather (shade, sun, hot or cold), the quality or thickness of the gel coat and which wax and/or compound mixture is going to give us the best results.

We recommend that you have your whole boat waxed every spring and just the topside (rub rail up) waxed again in the fall to further protect it through winter. Read an FAQ about our boat waxing services. Or get on the wax list now.
