Why Regular Boat Waxing and Detailing Matters
Regular Waxing:
- Prevents oxidation: Seattle’s mix of sun and saltwater quickly dulls unprotected gelcoat.
- Restores shine: A proper machine-applied wax brings back depth and gloss.
- Protects resale value: A clean, glossy boat is easier to sell and commands higher prices.
- Provides easier maintenance: A freshly waxed boat looks clean and is easier to keep clean. This means less time spent detailing and more time spent cruising!

- Thorough washdown and surface prep, where needed
- Oxidation removal with compound
- Machine-applied premium marine wax or polish

The boat looks really, really good. It's like a mirror looking down the side of the boat. I am very pleased. The two guys working are great and very nice." (Mary Q - 40 Tollycraft) Natalie, I should have gone with you for the boat detail.
