Boat Detailing Questions
How often should I have my boat detailed in Florida?
For boats used regularly in Florida waters, we recommend a basic exterior wash and rinse after each use, with a full detail every 3-4 months. The Florida sun and saltwater environment can be particularly harsh on boats. For freshwater boats or those used less frequently, a full detail every 6 months is typically sufficient. We also offer maintenance plans tailored to your specific usage patterns.

Yes! We provide mobile boat detailing services at marinas throughout Martin County and surrounding areas. We work with many local marinas and are familiar with their requirements. We bring all necessary equipment and supplies, and we follow all environmental regulations regarding water runoff and cleaning products.
What's included in your boat detailing service?
Our comprehensive boat detailing service includes exterior washing, stain removal, oxidation removal, compounding and polishing (as needed), waxing or ceramic coating application, vinyl cleaning and protection, chrome and metal polishing, and interior cleaning. We customize each service based on your boat's specific needs and your priorities.
Car Detailing Questions
How long does a full car detail take in Martin County?
A standard full car detail typically takes 3-5 hours depending on the size and condition of your vehicle. Premium and Ultimate packages may take 5-8 hours or more to complete properly. We'll provide you with a time estimate when scheduling your appointment.
Will detailing remove all scratches from my car's paint?
Our paint correction process can remove or significantly reduce light to moderate scratches and swirl marks. Deep scratches that penetrate through the clear coat may require more specialized repair. During our initial assessment, we'll evaluate your vehicle's condition and provide realistic expectations about what can be achieved.
How often should I have my car detailed in Florida?
For optimal results in Florida's climate, we recommend a full detail every 3-4 months. The intense sun, high humidity, and occasional salt air in Martin County can accelerate wear on your vehicle's finish. Regular maintenance washes between details help extend the benefits. For vehicles kept in garages or driven less frequently, detailing every 6 months may be sufficient.
Ceramic Coating Questions
What is ceramic coating and why is it beneficial in Florida?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with your vehicle's factory paint to create a protective layer. In Florida's harsh climate, ceramic coating provides superior protection against UV rays (preventing oxidation and fading), chemical stains, bird droppings, tree sap, and makes cleaning much easier. The hydrophobic properties cause water to bead up and roll off, taking dirt with it and reducing water spots.
How long does ceramic coating last in Florida?
The longevity of ceramic coating depends on the product quality, number of layers applied, and how well it's maintained. In Florida's climate, our Silver package typically lasts 1-2 years, Gold package 3-5 years, and Platinum package 5+ years. With proper maintenance and regular inspections, these timeframes can be extended.
Can ceramic coating be applied to boats and RVs in Martin County?
Ceramic coating is excellent for boats and RVs in Florida, which face harsh environmental conditions. For boats, it provides protection against saltwater, UV rays, and marine growth. For RVs, it helps prevent oxidation, black streaks, and makes cleaning much easier. We offer specialized ceramic coating services for all types of vehicles in Martin County.
