Mobile Marine Cleaning & Protection, Dockside or Dry

Boats take a beating. Sun, salt, algae, and dock rash all wear away at your investment. At RoamShine, our Boat Detailing Service is built to clean, protect, and restore your vessel — from hull to helm — using marine-safe products and proven techniques.

Whether your boat is docked in Mission Bay, trailered at home in Eastlake, or stored in a private lot, we bring everything needed to deliver showroom-level results right where your boat sits.

🧽 What’s Included in Our Boat Detail

We service a wide range of watercraft — from fishing boats and wake surf boats to yachts, pontoons, and jet skis.

🚤 Exterior Detailing:

  1. Rinse + foam cannon wash (UV- and salt-safe soap)
  2. Bug, bird, and salt removal
  3. Oxidation removal and gel coat polish (if requested)
  4. Non-skid deck cleaning
  5. Rub rail, trim, and plastic restoration
  6. Stainless/chrome polishing
  7. Spray wax or marine sealant application
  8. Vinyl seat wipe-down and conditioning

🛥️ Interior Detailing (Cabin & Cockpit Areas):

  1. Vacuuming & surface wipe-down
  2. Vinyl, upholstery, and leather cleaning
  3. Glass & electronics screen polishing
  4. Cupholders, hatches, and compartments cleaned
  5. Optional mildew, mold, or odor treatment

We adjust based on whether your boat is freshwater, saltwater, coated, or bare gelcoat.

🌊 Why Regular Boat Detailing Matters

Boats live in harsh environments. Detailing not only improves appearance, it extends the life of your:

  1. Gelcoat (protects from chalking, UV fade, and oxidation)
  2. Vinyl and plastic trim (prevents cracking and discoloration)
  3. Metalwork (stainless, aluminum, chrome)
  4. Marine glass and screens (removes buildup and prevents etching)

Regular detailing = longer life, higher resale value, and less maintenance down the road.

💬 FAQs – Boat Detailing

How long does a full boat detail take?

Anywhere from 2–6 hours depending on size, condition, and requested services.

Can you remove oxidation?

Yes — we offer compound polishing for oxidized gelcoat and chalky finishes.

Do you bring power and water?

Yes — for most trailered or lot-stored boats. If your boat is docked, we may use on-site hookups.

Can you detail jet skis and water toys too?

Absolutely — we detail jet skis, dinghies, and personal watercraft with the same marine-safe methods.
