Boat Detailing Vernon BC | Gelcoat Polish

What Okanagan Summers Do to a Boat

Long days of sun at elevation chalk up gelcoat fast, and lake water leaves a scum line and water spots along the hull. Vinyl seats fade and mildew if the boat goes into storage damp. A detail at the start and end of the season keeps the boat looking newer for longer.

Before Launch and Before Storage

A spring detail before the first launch takes off the storage dust and brings the shine back. A fall detail before winterizing removes the summer's lake film and mildew risk so it does not set in over the winter.

Bring It on the Trailer

Bring the boat in on its trailer and we work on it out of the water. Prices depend on length, condition and the work you want, so we quote each boat. Send the length and a few photos. While it is here, get the tow vehicle done with truck detailing, and see RV and camper detailing for the rest of the summer toys. Questions? Read our RV and boat FAQ.

Boat Detailing Questions

Can faded gelcoat be brought back?

Usually, yes. Machine polishing removes the oxidized layer and brings back the colour and shine. Heavy oxidation takes more steps, which we quote after a look.

Should I ceramic coat my boat?

If it lives on a lift or in the sun all summer, a coating helps a lot. Scum lines and water spots wipe off more easily and the gelcoat oxidizes more slowly.

Do you clean boat interiors?

Yes: vinyl seats, carpet, floors and storage compartments.
