Boat Detailing in Melbourne
Hull cleaning, oxidation removal, interior detail, and protective coating. We detail boats of all sizes at your home, marina, or storage facility.
Your Boat Deserves the
Same Care as Your Car
Boats take a serious beating. Sun, salt water, fresh water, algae, oxidation — marine environments are even harsher than road environments. Yet most boat owners only give their vessel a quick hose-down after a day on the water.
Professional boat detailing restores and protects your boat's surfaces — from the hull to the helm — keeping it looking great and holding its value.
What we handle:
- Hull cleaning & oxidation removal — we remove algae, water stains, and oxidation from the gelcoat, restoring that factory shine.
- Gelcoat polishing — machine polish to remove chalking and restore gloss to fibreglass surfaces.
- Interior detail — seats, carpets, vinyl, dashboard, storage compartments — everything cleaned and protected.
- Metal polishing — stainless steel fittings, rails, and hardware polished to a mirror finish.
- Protective coating — marine-grade wax, sealant, or ceramic coating to protect against UV and water damage.
Port Phillip Bay Is Beautiful
But Brutal on Your Boat
Melbourne's boating environment presents unique challenges that make regular professional detailing essential.
Salt Water Damage
Port Phillip Bay's salt water constantly attacks your boat's gelcoat, metal fittings, and hardware. Without regular cleaning and protection, salt causes oxidation, corrosion, and dulling of all surfaces.
UV & Weather Exposure
Whether your boat is on a trailer in the driveway or moored at a marina, Melbourne's UV degrades gelcoat, fades vinyl, and cracks rubber seals. Protective coatings shield these surfaces and extend their life.
Algae & Water Staining
Green algae, waterline stains, and mineral deposits build up fast on hulls and topsides. Regular detailing removes these before they cause permanent staining or gelcoat damage.
