Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can you come to my dock or storage unit?

Yes. We’re fully mobile and regularly service marinas, driveways, and boat storage facilities across Bonner and Boundary counties.

Q: Do you clean mildew from seats and compartments?

Yes. We treat mildew using marine-safe cleaners, steam, and enzyme neutralizers to clean and sanitize without damaging vinyl or electronics.

Q: What’s the difference between wax and ceramic coating for boats?

Wax offers a temporary layer of shine and protection (3–6 months). Ceramic coating offers a long-term hydrophobic barrier (up to 12–24 months), especially beneficial for high-use or stored boats.

Q: How often should I get my boat detailed?

At minimum, we recommend a deep detail at the start and end of the season. For frequently used boats, quarterly cleanings keep surfaces protected.

Q: Do I need to be present for the detailing?

Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the boat and a working area, we can complete the service with or without the owner present.
