Boat Detailing & Ceramic Coating

Restore your shine. Protect your gelcoat. Reduce maintenance.

From light maintenance polishing to full paint correction and long-term ceramic coating, we tailor every detail to your boat’s condition and your goals. You can choose buffing, polishing, wax, or ceramic coating — and we’ll recommend the best combination to restore gloss and keep it protected.


Signs that you need correction:

  • Chalky residue on your hand after touching the hull

  • Faded color / cloudy gelcoat

  • Dull “flat” reflection

  • Water spots that don’t clean off easily

From Basic to Full Protection — You Choose Your Must-Haves

Every boat and owner is different. Some clients only want a quick shine boost, while others want long-term protection and easier maintenance. We start with your priorities, inspect the surface, then build a plan — from a basic buff/polish to full correction with wax or ceramic coating.

What’s the difference?

Buff / Compound (Correction)
Removes oxidation, heavy haze, and deeper defects. This is the “restore” step.

Polish (Refinement)
Increases clarity and reflection after compounding. This is where the gloss gets “deep.”

Wax / Sealant (Short-term Protection)
Adds shine and a protective layer, but typically needs reapplication often (especially in salt/Florida sun).

Ceramic Coating (Long-term Protection)
A durable protective layer designed to last much longer than wax, with strong water-beading and easier cleaning.

Why Ceramic Coating?

UV defense – slows fading/oxidation caused by sun exposure.

Longer-lasting protection vs wax – wax is short-lived; ceramic is designed for significantly longer durability depending on product, prep, and maintenance.

Deeper gloss – keeps gelcoat looking sharper and more reflective after correction.

Hydrophobic (water-beading) surface – water and grime don’t stick as easily, so cleaning is faster.
