Real Before & After Results
From dirty deck boat flooring to a cleaner, brighter finish — this is the kind of difference a proper detail can make.
Dirty Deck Boat Floor
Heavy dirt, staining, and lake mess can make the floor look older and more neglected than it really is.
Deck Boat Floor Cleaned
After cleaning, the floor has a fresher, brighter look and the whole interior feels better to step into.
Oxidation Removal & Buffing
If your boat looks faded, chalky, or dull, oxidation removal may help bring back a cleaner shine and better gelcoat clarity. This is a separate service from a standard wash and wax and is quoted based on boat size, color, condition, and severity.
Faded or Chalky Gelcoat
Oxidation can make the outside of a boat look flat, cloudy, or older than it really is. A normal wash usually will not fix this by itself.
Cleaner Shine and Depth
Buffing and polishing can help improve shine, reduce haze, and give the exterior a cleaner finished look before protection is applied.
Pricing Depends on Condition
Every oxidation job is different. Light oxidation, heavy chalking, dark gelcoat, boat size, and access around the boat all affect the final quote.

These are optional upgrades, not required on every job. They are best after the boat is already cleaned, polished, or corrected and are quoted based on material, size, and condition.
