End The Two-Company Problem
Most people book their boat and their RV separately. There’s no reason to. Book your marine and RV detailing together for the same crew, the same visit, one invoice—and an automatic 10% off your total.
Beyond A Standard Wash
An RV Is Not A Large Car
An RV is not a large car, and most detailers treat it like one. The roof is the part that actually matters and the part almost nobody touches — EPDM and TPO membranes chalk, crack, and eventually leak, and by the time you see water inside you’re looking at a repair bill with a comma in it.
We clean and treat the roof on every full package. We also do the parts you can see: oxidized fiberglass sidewalls, faded decals, black streaks that won’t wash off, awnings gone green, and interiors that have been through a few seasons of family camping.Same Problem on RVs
Fiberglass RV Sidewalls Oxidize Identically
Same cause, same chalk, same fix. If your boat needs it, walk over and check the trailer while you’re at it.
The Two-Stage Process
Restoring The Finish
Severely oxidized hulls sometimes need wet sanding before stage one. We’ll tell you if yours does at quote, not partway through.
Cutting Compound
Machine-applied abrasive compound removes the oxidized surface layer entirely, taking it back to sound gelcoat underneath.
Polish
A finer machine polish removes the compound’s own micro-marring and brings the surface to full gloss.
Protection
Wax or ceramic coating. Without it, freshly exposed gelcoat starts oxidizing again from day one. This step is not optional if you want the work to last.
Pricing Starts At $20/ft
As an add-on to any detailing package. Final pricing depends on severity — a lightly dulled hull and a hull that's been outside uncovered for five seasons are different jobs. Wet sanding for severe cases is quoted separately.
Does Your Hull Need It?
Diagnosing The Damage
We’d rather sell you a $15/ft detail you need than a $20/ft restoration you don’t. Use the guide below, or send us photos to confirm.
YES — If you notice:
- The colour looks faded or milky.
- The surface feels slightly rough or dusty to the touch.
- A dark cloth comes away chalky after wiping the hull.
- Gloss doesn't return even after a thorough washing.
- Water no longer beads on the surface.
PROBABLY NOT — If:
- It's only water spotting (that requires a wash or acid wash).
- Full gloss returns easily after a standard wash and wax.
- It was fully restored in the last two or three years and has been kept protected since.
