Premium Boat Shine Backed by System X® Ceramic Protection
At Detailing Express, we don’t just clean and polish—we protect your vessel with the industry’s most advanced surface technology. That’s why we proudly use System X®, a professional-grade ceramic coating engineered to bond at the molecular level with your boat’s gel coat and brightwork.
This isn’t your average wax or sealant. Once applied, System X® becomes a permanent, glossy barrier that resists washing off and delivers long-term shine and protection. The result? A hard, ultra-slick surface that’s more resistant to UV rays, saltwater corrosion, swirl marks, and environmental damage.
System X®’s high-gloss finish doesn’t just look incredible—it reduces drag, repels contaminants, and helps minimize future cleaning and maintenance. It’s our go-to solution for clients who demand the ultimate in durability, brilliance, and performance on the water.
When you choose Detailing Express, you’re choosing lasting shine, next-level protection, and the best ceramic technology available—applied by local experts who care about your boat as much as you do.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to have a boat detailed?
This is the most common question, and the answer depends on several key factors. The final price is influenced by:
- Boat Size: The length and type of your boat (e.g., center console, pontoon, cruiser) are the biggest factors.
- Condition: A heavily oxidized, stained, or neglected boat will require more intensive labor, such as multi-stage compounding, than a well-maintained boat that just needs a wash and wax.
- Services Requested: A basic exterior wash and wax will cost less than a complete, top-to-bottom detail that includes interior cleaning, compartment cleaning, metal polishing, and teak brightening.
- Specialty Services: Add-ons like ceramic coating, mold and mildew remediation, or scratch removal will also affect the cost.
For a precise and transparent price, we always provide a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your boat’s specific needs.
What is included in a standard boat detailing service?
While we offer customizable packages, a comprehensive boat detailing service typically covers both the exterior and interior of your vessel.
- Exterior Services:
- Thorough wash and scrub of all surfaces, including non-skid decks, to remove dirt and salt.
- Cleaning of hatches, gutters, and compartments.
- Polishing of all brightwork (stainless steel, chrome).
- Application of a high-quality marine wax or sealant to the gelcoat to provide shine and UV protection.
- Cleaning of exterior windows and vinyl seating.
- Interior Services:
- Wipe-down and cleaning of all hard surfaces.
- Deep cleaning and UV protection for all vinyl and leather seats.
- Vacuuming carpets and cleaning canvas.
- Cleaning the helm, gauges, and controls.
- Cleaning inside cuddy cabins or larger cabin spaces.
How often should I get my boat professionally detailed?
The ideal frequency depends on your boat’s usage, storage, and environment. As a general guideline:
- Full Detail (Compounding, Polishing, Waxing): We recommend a full, restorative detail at least once a year. This removes oxidation and protects the gelcoat, which is crucial for preventing long-term damage from the Florida sun.
- Wash and Wax/Sealant: For boats that are used frequently, especially in saltwater, a professional wash and wax every 3-4 months is ideal to maintain protection and shine.
- Regular Washes: A simple professional wash every 4-6 weeks can prevent salt and grime from building up, making your major details more effective and less costly.
Proper, regular detailing is the single best investment to protect your boat’s value and appearance.
What is gelcoat oxidation, and can detailing fix it?
Gelcoat oxidation is the dull, chalky, and faded appearance your boat’s fiberglass surface gets over time. It’s caused by exposure to the sun’s UV rays, which break down the outer layers of the gelcoat. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent damage and discoloration.
Yes, professional detailing is the most effective way to fix it! Our process involves:
- Compounding: We use a professional-grade abrasive compound to carefully remove the thin, damaged top layer of oxidized gelcoat.
- Polishing: We then use a fine polish to remove any swirl marks from the compounding stage, restoring a deep, rich gloss.
- Protecting: Finally, we apply a durable marine wax, sealant, or ceramic coating. This crucial final step seals the pores of the gelcoat, creating a protective barrier against future UV damage and environmental contaminants.
