MARINE DETAILING SERVICES are essential for protecting and maintaining the aesthetic appeal and structural integrity of your boat or yacht.
Unlike automotive detailing, marine detailing addresses the unique challenges posed by saltwater, sun exposure, and marine growth. Services typically include gelcoat restoration to remove oxidation and restore shine, thorough cleaning of all surfaces to prevent corrosion, specialized waxing and sealing to protect against UV damage and saltwater intrusion, and meticulous interior cleaning to combat mold and mildew.
From hull cleaning and teak restoration to canvas cleaning and upholstery care, marine detailing ensures your vessel remains in peak condition, preserving its value and enhancing your on-water experience.

We will assess the level of oxidation on the gel coat, the quality, and thickness of the gel coat, and then determine the steps necessary to bring the shine back to your boat.
It will be a customized combination of compounds and/or sanding that can cut through the oxidation leaving an immaculate finish. We will polish the gel coat to remove swirls and holograms with a pad and polish combination specific to your boat.
Finally, we finish up the service with the protection of your choice. We offer waxes, sealants, and ceramic coating to protect your investment. Waxes typically last about 3 months, sealants 4-6 months, and ceramic coating up to 36 months.
MARINE CERAMIC COATING SERVICES
MARINE CERAMIC COATINGS provide an advanced layer of protection specifically designed for the harsh marine environment. Unlike traditional waxes, marine ceramic coatings chemically bond to the gelcoat or painted surfaces of your boat, creating a durable barrier against saltwater corrosion, UV damage, and marine growth.
This hydrophobic layer repels water, making cleaning easier and reducing the buildup of grime and barnacles. Marine ceramic coatings also enhance the gloss and shine of your vessel, maintaining its aesthetic appeal for extended periods. By investing in a professional marine ceramic coating, boat owners can significantly reduce maintenance time and costs while preserving the longevity and value of their investment.
AFTERCARE: BEYOND THE BEADING
Because you have invested into this technology, it shows you want the best protection for your boat. The following information helps you directly in this fashion. To take care of this new coating there are a few easy to understand fundamentals that will make the whole picture of easy maintenance super clear!
GTECHNIQ SMARTWASH CARE
WASH HACK: When you only use your boat lightly for the day, you can get away with simply rinsing and drying all surfaces without the need to use soap.
FULL WASH: After heavy use, whether it be covered in the foot prints, salt, or fish blood, follow the steps below to easily clean with 10X results and efficiency:
Using microfiber tools and towels will be less abrasive and more effective than the brushes you may have used before. Drying has never been faster than during use of our DRYLUX XL Ultra Plush Drying towels. These towels can soak up water faster than any chamois mop on the market and are soft and safe for every surface. Use the Detox Smart Soap to create rich soap lather. Dilute according to directions. When washing is complete dry all surfaces. DO NOT leave to air dry. Lay the towel out and just walk and watch the water disappear. When it’s full set it down and grab another DRYLUX XL one and just keep going instead of wasting time ringing out the towel.
STAIN REMOVAL: TIPS AND TRICKS
Surface stains become much easier to fight after the Ceramic coating has been installed. No need to resort to heavy chemical use or abrasive substances. If you have a greasy stain from a service or shoe brand that does not normally come off with a simple eraser use the Ceramic Cleanse product with the eraser and quickly remove.
RUST STAINS: Utilize oxalic acid products if necessary, it will not hurt the coating but will remove the stain. This is common near screws and other metal hardware.
DECKS AND TEAK: Most people walk on their decks with their bare feet which can discolor over time. Don’t fear this is just oil sitting on top capturing dirt. You may take bleach diluted 1 to 5, scrub into the deck slightly and rinse away. To neutralize the bleach 100% follow up with vinegar, simply scrub over the area once and it will deactivate the chemical. Rinse thoroughly and your decks should be beading up and white just like new.
WATER SPOTTING: In order to keep the surface free of water spots never wash and leave to air dry especially multiple times. Dock water or hard water could be the worst and will eventually effect the coatings performance. You may choose to use straight white distilled vinegar to remove freshwater spots if they occur.
GTECHNIQ CERAMIC FAST COAT: KEEPING IT SMOOTH
WASH HACK: To save time while you dry, spray a fine mist of GTECHNIQ FAST COAT in front of your towel. This will allow you to apply a refresh protectant and dry at the same time. Level any streaks with a regular, dry microfiber towel. To keep your coating at its peak performance a use the once per month during drying or after the boat has been cleaned and dried. This product can be applied to 100% of the vessel. Simply spray, wipe on, level with a towel and move on.
