Which service does my boat need?
- Regularly kept boat: a Maintenance Wash, or weekly and biweekly seasonal plans.
- Chalky or faded gel coat: One-Step Polish + Wax for light oxidation, or Heavy Oxidation Correction for severe cases.
- Long-term protection: marine ceramic coating.
When should I detail my boat in New Jersey?
Many owners book a final detail before winter storage, a full detail or oxidation correction before spring launch, and maintenance washes during the season. Right now, a pre-storage detail keeps salt and grime from sitting on the boat until spring.
Do you come to my marina?
Yes. We work at your dock, slip, marina or storage location, as access and marina rules allow, or at home on a trailer. Boats are always serviced on site, in towns like Point Pleasant, Brick, Toms River, Brielle, Long Beach Island and Atlantic Highlands.
