Sacramento, the Delta & the lakes · On the trailer, at your placeBoat Detailing
We detail boats on the trailer, where they are parked — your driveway, the side yard or the storage lot. Interior and upholstery, deck, and the hull above the waterline.
Lake water is harder on a boat than people expect
Folsom, Berryessa and the Delta all leave their mark. Hard water dries on the gelcoat and leaves mineral spotting that a normal wash will not lift. Sun does the rest — vinyl seating goes chalky, and older gelcoat oxidises until the shine is gone.
Water spots need a dedicated treatment, not more scrubbing. Vinyl needs cleaning and then protecting, or it goes straight back to chalky by the next season.
The upholstery is usually the worst of it
Wet swimsuits, sunscreen, spilled drinks and six months of sitting under a cover. Sunscreen in particular is brutal on white vinyl — it stains, and the longer it sits the less comes out.
We clean and condition the seating, do the carpet or snap-in flooring, clear out the storage lockers, and treat the smell if the boat has been closed up damp. We will tell you honestly what will come out and what has set in for good.
Deck and hull above the waterline
A hand wash of the deck, gunwales and topsides, plus the usual trouble spots: rub rail, non-skid that has gone grey, and the transom. Below the waterline is a different trade — we do not do bottom paint or growth removal, and we will say so rather than make a mess of it.
If the gelcoat has oxidised, a compound and polish pass brings most of it back. That is quoted after we have seen it, because how far gone it is decides how much work it takes.
End of season is the time
The best money you will spend on a boat is a proper clean before it is covered for winter. Whatever is on the gelcoat and in the vinyl at the end of October is still there in April, except by then it has had six months to set.
We work seven days and we come to the boat, so it does not need towing anywhere.
What it costs
Boats are quoted by length and condition. Send photos of the seating and the hull along with the size, and we will come back with a price — no charge for the quote and no pressure after it.
Cars, SUVs and pickup trucks do have fixed starting prices — $250, $300 and $350 for a full interior and exterior detail. Those are on the main price list.
