Boat and marine detailing service

Boat & Marine Detailing Service

Gel coat restored. Oxidation gone. Marine-grade ceramic that survives salt water and UV.

★★★★★ 4.9 · 500+ Cars Detailed · Marine Specialist · Mobile · 7 Days

Boat gel coat takes a beating from salt water, UV, dock rash, and biological staining. Standard car-detailing products and techniques don't translate — gel coat is harder than automotive paint and requires specialty compounds. We offer hull cleaning, oxidation removal, gel coat restoration, marine ceramic coating, and full interior cabin service. Dockside or hauled-out — your call.

What's included

Marine-grade products and process. Compounds engineered for gel coat, not clear coat.

🌊

Hull wash + salt removal

Salt-stripping marine soap, pH-balanced for gel coat. Full hull rinse, scuff scrubbing, dockline cleaning.

🧹

Oxidation removal

Faded, chalky gel coat brought back to gloss using marine-specific compounds (3M Marine Restorer, Meguiar's M49).

Gel coat restoration

Multi-stage compound + polish that restores deep oxidation. Brings 20-year-old gel coat back to near-new gloss.

Why choose Xentra Auto for boat and marine detailing

Three reasons marine detailing needs marine-specific gear.

🧴

Marine-grade products

Gel coat is not clear coat. Marine compounds are formulated for it — automotive products either don't work or damage the surface.

🌊

Salt + UV expertise

Saltwater service is different from freshwater. We know which protocols work in each, and which marine sealants actually last.

Dockside or yard service

We come to you — marina, slip, yacht club, dry storage. Equipped for both in-water and hauled-out work.

Pairs well with

Common add-ons clients book in the same appointment.

Boat & Marine Detailing FAQ

Both. Dockside is standard. Hauled-out (in dry storage yard) gives us better access for the hull bottom — about 10% less pricing for that reason.
Gel coat is a polyester-resin surface layer, much thicker (30+ mils) and harder than automotive clear coat. Requires more aggressive compounds and longer polishing time. Different products entirely.
Yes — multi-stage gel coat restoration handles even severely oxidized boats. The Restoration tier exists for this. Result is gloss restored to near-new on boats 15–20+ years old.
1–3 years depending on whether the boat sits in freshwater (longer life) or saltwater (shorter), and how much UV exposure. Annual maintenance washes extend it significantly.
No — bottom paint (anti-fouling) is specialty marine work we don't do. We can refer you to bottom-paint specialists at most major marinas.
Yes — Restoration tier includes teak cleaning and restoration. Brightwork (varnished trim) we touch up; full re-varnish is a separate specialty service.
Yes — vinyl seats, headliner, galley, cabin sole all included in Full Detail and Restoration tiers. Marine-safe products only.
Personal items off the deck and out of cubbies before we start. We work around fixed equipment (radios, electronics, bilge pumps) without issue.
Boats under 25 ft: 1 day. 25–35 ft: 1.5–2 days. 35–50 ft: 3–4 days. Yacht-size projects scheduled across multiple days as needed.
Pre-season (April–May) and post-season (October–November) are busiest. Mid-season detailing common for charter boats and high-use yachts.
