Boat Detailing Across the GTA

Hull wash, polish, wax, ceramic coating, and full interior detailing. Serving Lake Simcoe, Georgian Bay, and the Toronto area since 2017.

Marine Detailing, Top to Bottom

Wash, Polish & Wax

Multi-stage hull wash, machine polish to remove oxidation and surface defects, and marine-grade wax for season-long protection.

Ceramic Coating

3-year and 5-year options. Hydrophobic, UV-resistant, and dramatically harder wear than wax: typically 6× to 10× longer between reapplications.

Interior Detailing

Full cabin and cockpit deep clean, vinyl conditioning, carpet steam extraction, and headliner spot treatment.

Restoration & Compound

Heavy oxidation removal, gelcoat compounding, and recovery of sun-bleached or chalky hulls. Wet-sanding available for severe cases.

It's Gelcoat, Not Auto Paint

Auto detailers are excellent at what they do. Auto detailing is not what your boat needs. The substrate is different, the environment is different, and the failure modes are different.

Boats use gelcoat, not painted finishes. Gelcoat is a thick pigmented resin layer that oxidizes from the outside in: chalking, dulling, then turning porous. Recovery is a multi-stage process: wash, compound, polish, then seal. A single buff doesn't solve it. The polishing chemistry, pad selection, and machine technique are also different from what works on automotive clear coat.

And the environment punishes everything. Salt, sun, and constant UV demand different wax and ceramic products than auto detailing supplies provide. Large flat surfaces (transoms, decks, hardtops) need machine-polishing technique adapted for fiberglass curvature, not the body panels of a car. The oxidation pattern on a 5-year-old gelcoat is fundamentally different from auto paint fade.

That's the work we do every day. Not auto detailing on a boat. Marine detailing, with the right products, the right pads, and the right technique for the surface that's actually in front of us.

FAQ

What's the difference between a wash, a polish, and a ceramic coating?

A wash is a surface clean: soap, rinse, dry. A polish is paint correction: machine-buffing the gelcoat with abrasive compound to remove oxidation, swirls, and light scratches, restoring the surface itself. A ceramic coating is a long-term hydrophobic protection layer that bonds to the gelcoat after polish, dramatically reducing water spotting, UV damage, and contamination buildup over multiple seasons. Wash maintains. Polish corrects. Ceramic protects.

How long does a full detail take?

1–3 days depending on size and condition. Light maintenance details can be same-day. A full compound + ceramic on a 30-foot cruiser typically runs 2–3 days. We'll give you a real timeline when we quote.

Do you come to my marina, or do I bring the boat to you?

We come to the boat for detailing work. Tell us whether it is at a marina, dock, or driveway, and we will work out the visit when we quote.

How long does ceramic coating last?

3-year and 5-year products are available. Real-world life depends on storage, use, and maintenance. Both options dramatically outlast wax (3–6 months) for repeat protection between reapplications.

Where does the detailing happen?

At your boat. We come to your marina, your dock, or your driveway. Tell us the area in the form and we'll work out the visit.
