- Every boat starts the same way: a gloss meter reading and a pass with our reflection light. The gloss meter tells us the exact number of correction steps your gelcoat needs, and the light reveals oxidation, cloudiness, and chalkiness from three different angles, so nothing is a guess. A reading below 20 means we wet sand to physically reach the oxidation; above 20, we step through heavy, medium, and light compound.
- Most full boat details take a day depending on size and how long it has been since the last service. A maintained 22-foot bow rider at your Cornelius or Mooresville dock moves quickly. A 28-30 foot cruiser that sat closed up all winter takes longer, because we're removing mold from the inner liner, seats, and every crevice where water has been sitting.
- We detail the inside too: pressure-washing compartments out, vacuuming up standing water, and pulling sand, dirt, and grime from the crevices and engine bay corners. We don't blast the engine itself (that does more harm than good), but everything around it gets cleaned, and we finish interior surfaces with 303 UV protectant so the vinyl and plastic don't bake and fade.
