Our Top Notch Cleaning Process

Preparation

First, we take everything off your boat and secure it on the dock. Then we clean out all hatches, heads, and compartments.

This allows to access every square inch of your vessel.

Cushions

Next, we perform a detailed cleaning of all cushions and bolsters. No bleaching products are used as we eliminate mold, dirt, and any scuffs on the cushions. Finally, we protect them with 303 Vinyl Protectant before leaving the job.

“Why we you bleach free products.”

 

Mold and mildew are a cushions worst nightmare and in this humid South FL it’s prevalent. We use all bleach free chemicals to ensure no harm to the upholstery, stitching and vinyl.

Detailed Wash

Once we’ve cleared the boat and finished with the cushions, we perform a detailed wash over every square inch of the vessel.

 

Not washing your boat can cause a multitude of cosmetic and, more importantly, performance and safety issues. Unfortunately saltwater, can be destructive to many of the materials and surfaces on your boat. Metals can corrode, wood can warp, and fiberglass can deteriorate. You can protect these things with thorough was services.

Gel Coat

We then determine what steps it will take to bring your gel coat back to showroom shape. Some boats may need a full wet sand & 3 step compound, polish, and wax.  While others only need a polish and wax. 

 

Wet sand is the game changer that brings back the natural luster you once saw on your boat.

Metals

Next, to bring back some of your boat’s original sparkle, we use Flitz Metal Polish to clean, remove rust and rub out hard water spots that have settled on the metal pieces.

The Final Wash

Finally after our buffing and detailing is complete, we will the give your boat a final full wash to remove all compound dust and whatever was tracked onto the vessel during the detailing process. This is one of the most important steps in our process. 

We know you paid a great deal for your investment and we protect your boat every step of the way.

John and his team did a fantastic job. They took my 11 year old boat and gave me back a new boat. I was thinking of selling my boat, but after seeing John’s work, I’m thinking of keeping her.

Did a fantastic job! Nothing better then coming home to a clean boat and well detailed. I wasn’t there during the process but my wife said the staff were really friendly.
