How long does oxidation removal take on Lake Norman boats?

4-12 hours depending on severity. Light oxidation (50-60 gloss, slightly hazy) takes 4-6 hours with medium compound and polish. Severe oxidation (20-30 gloss, chalky white appearance) takes 8-12 hours because we're wet sanding and progressing through multiple compound stages. We measure at each stage to track progress and know when we're done.

Do we need to have staff present while you wash our fleet?

Nope. Most commercial clients in Cornelius, Mooresville, and Huntersville give us access codes or leave keys in vehicles and let us work. We text when we arrive and when we're done. Some businesses prefer someone on-site for security, but it's not required for established accounts.

How long does RV detailing take in the Lake Norman area?

4-10 hours depending on RV size and condition. A 25-foot travel trailer that's been maintained takes 4-6 hours. A 40-foot Class A motorhome with heavy black streaks, oxidation, and interior mold takes 8-10 hours because we're treating the entire exterior, cleaning the roof, and deep cleaning the interior. We schedule full-day appointments.

Can you ceramic coat a car that already has swirl marks and oxidation?

Yes, but we have to correct the paint first. If your car measures 30-50 gloss (swirled, hazy, oxidized), we're compounding and polishing to remove the damaged clear coat layer before we can apply ceramic. That adds time and cost, but it's the only way to get durable results (ceramic won't bond properly to damaged paint).

How long does boat detailing take on Lake Norman?

4-8 hours depending on boat size and condition. A 20-foot bow rider that's been maintained takes 4-5 hours. A 28-foot cabin cruiser that hasn't been detailed in 2-3 years takes 7-8 hours because we're dealing with heavy mold, staining, and oxidation. We schedule full-day appointments so we're not rushing.

How long does car detailing take in the Lake Norman area?

3-6 hours depending on vehicle size and condition. A sedan that's been maintained takes 3-4 hours. A large SUV with kids and pets that hasn't been detailed in 2-3 years takes 5-6 hours because we're dealing with heavy staining, embedded dirt, and odor removal. We schedule blocks so we're not rushing.

Do I need to be home while you work?

Nope. Most customers in Cornelius, Mooresville, Huntersville, and Charlotte leave keys and let us work in the driveway. We send progress photos showing gloss meter readings at each stage (baseline, post-compound, post-polish, final). You're welcome to watch, but it's not required.

Can you ceramic coat a car that already has swirl marks and oxidation?

Yes, but it takes longer and some stains might be permanent. If your boat sat closed up for 3-4 years, we're looking at 8-10 hours of work and possibly replacing cushions or carpet if the mold penetrated too deep. We'll assess it honestly and tell you if something needs replacement instead of wasting your money trying to clean the impossible.
