ABOUT THIS SERVICE

Norfolk Boat Detailing — Gelcoat Polish & Hull Restoration

Advanced Marine Detailing for Boats Exposed to Harsh Conditions

Boats exposed to year-round sun, saltwater, rain, algae, and moisture slowly develop oxidation and contamination that regular washing cannot fully remove.

Exterior Marine Surfaces Require Deep Cleaning

Salt residue, hard water minerals, and dock contamination often remain embedded within marine surfaces long after rinsing or basic cleaning.

Our Boat Detailing Process Restores Gloss

We begin with complete surface cleaning before progressing into polishing, ceramic coating, oxidation correction, and marine paint protection services tailored to your vessel's needs.

Services Commonly Included

Marine exterior washing
Oxidation removal
Gel coat polishing
Ceramic coating
Vinyl restoration
Surface protection treatments

Serving Norfolk and surrounding dock areas including Achilles, Barco, and Battery Park with professional mobile marine detailing delivered directly to your boat.

Chesapeake Bay and Elizabeth River salt water corrosion is severe — we treat hulls and running gear with full marine-grade saltwater protocols.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Boat Problems We Fix Every Day

If your hull and gelcoat have been through a season — these are the issues we see and what we do about them.

Heavy oxidation chalking the gelcoat

Marine compound on a rotary buffer cuts back the oxidized layer before we polish and seal — restores the deep wet look.

Black scum line at the waterline

Dedicated hull cleaner dissolves bonded scum, algae, and water-stain residue without aggressive scrubbing that scars the gelcoat.

Bird droppings etched into vinyl

Marine vinyl cleaner with steam treatment lifts proteins out of the grain before they permanently stain the seats.

Slippery, gray non-skid deck

Grit-safe non-skid scrub system cleans deep without rounding off the texture — keeps the deck safe and bright.

Stainless and chrome with rust spots

Marine-grade polish removes oxidation from rails, cleats, and hardware without damaging the chrome layer.

Faded T-top, isinglass, and clears

Clear-coat-safe cleaner with conditioning treatment restores flexibility and clarity to clears and canvas.

VEHICLE TYPES WE DETAIL

Every Boat Type We Detail in Norfolk - Pontoons, Tritoons, Ski and Surf Boats, Bass Boats, Fishing Boats, Bowriders, Deck Boats, Center Consoles, Cabin Cruisers, Houseboats, Sailboats, Jet Skis, and Small Yachts

Center Console Boats

Center console boats in Norfolk need careful work because salt film, light algae, and waterline staining show up fast in this market. We start with marine wash and seal, then address salt film around fittings so the finish and interior stay cleaner after each use. This keeps your launch day quick and stress free.

Cabin Cruiser Boats

In Norfolk, salt film, light algae, and waterline staining are among the most common issues we correct on cabin cruisers. We begin with metal trim polish, then clean cabin seating, galley surfaces, and windows to protect high-touch areas and visible surfaces. You get a cleaner finish that lasts longer between outings.

Small Yachts

Multi step polish is one of our most requested services for small yachts in Norfolk. We use multi step polish as the base step, then detail stainless rails and trim lines so your small yachts stays easier to maintain. Your boat photographs better and looks sharper at the dock.

Sailboats

We detail sailboats around Hampton Roads marinas and Chesapeake slips and across Norfolk. We start with hardware cleaning, then address streaking on hull sides so the finish and interior stay cleaner after each use. That protection helps reduce cleanup time after each trip.

Jet Skis and Personal Watercraft

Owners in this market usually book before peak weekend use. We tailor each visit to how jet skis are used around Norfolk. We begin with seat conditioning, then clean seat panels and hand grips to protect high-touch areas and visible surfaces. You spend less time scrubbing and more time on the water.

SEASONAL SERVICES

Boat Seasonal Detail Packages in Norfolk

Spring Commissioning Detail

Best time: March through April

Salt air and damp slip conditions leave marine film and light algae on hull sides and seating. We perform a full hull wash, oxidation removal, gel coat polish, vinyl deep clean, and wax or ceramic protection for boats in Norfolk. Your boat is launch ready, and you avoid losing a full day to scrubbing before the water opens up. We confirm package scope and access details before the appointment so there are no surprises on service day.

Mid-Season Refresh

Best time: June through July

Around Hampton Roads marinas and Chesapeake slips, we see the same seasonal buildup on boats in Norfolk every year, especially after storage or heavy use. Mid-season work targets waterline film, interior touch points, vinyl care, and a fresh wax layer for boats in Norfolk. The finish stays cleaner through peak weekends, so you spend more time boating and less time washing.

Pre-Sale or Pre-Show Detail

Best time: Any time

In Norfolk, owners usually book this package right before the busiest water weekends when they want the boat ready without losing a weekend to cleanup. We prep listing and show boats with paint correction level polish, interior extraction, brightwork cleaning, and optional ceramic protection in Norfolk. You get stronger listing photos and a better first impression when buyers or guests step aboard.

Winterization Detail

Best time: October through December

Winterization detail is the package many Norfolk owners choose before off-season storage when they want surfaces sealed and protected. Winter prep includes hull cleaning, vinyl conditioning, interior drying, and corrosion protection on exposed metal for boats in Norfolk. Your boat goes into storage protected, so spring commissioning is faster and less stressful next season. You get a clear plan for what is included before we start, so the result matches your expectations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Boat Detailing Questions — Answered

Can you detail my boat on the lift or in the slip?

Yes — most of our boat details are performed on the lift, at the slip, or in storage. We carry our own water and power so we do not need marina hookups. You only need to confirm we have safe access.

Do you remove heavy oxidation from gelcoat?

Yes. Our Full Detail includes an oxidation cut on the topside, and the Premium tier extends it to the hull. We use marine-grade compound and rotary polishers to cut back the chalk and restore depth before sealing.

Will you damage the non-skid deck or graphics?

No. We use grit-safe pads and brushes on non-skid, marine-safe cleaners on graphics and decals, and the appropriate compound pads on gelcoat. Non-skid texture and decals stay intact.

How long does a full boat detail take?

Most full boat details take 4–6 hours. Premium with hull cut and buff can run 7–9 hours depending on length and oxidation level. We will give you a window when you book.

Do you detail pontoons, center consoles, and cruisers?

Yes. We work on runabouts, pontoons, center consoles, deck boats, cabin cruisers, and PWCs. Final pricing depends on length and condition.

What about trailer cleaning?

Trailer wheel, fender, and frame wipe-down is included in our Full and Premium tiers. Full trailer detailing is available as an add-on.
