    More Than a Wash. A Complete Surface Treatment.

    Our wash and wax service goes well beyond a rinse and dry. We use pH neutral marine soap safe for all gelcoat and painted surfaces, followed by a premium polymer wax applied by machine for maximum gloss and protection. Every wash removes salt spray, black streaks, waterline staining, and environmental buildup that accumulates on South Florida vessels between details.

    Step 1

    Pre-Rinse and Soak

    We pre-rinse the entire vessel to loosen salt deposits and surface contamination before any contact washing begins.

    Step 2

    Full Wash with Marine Soap

    pH neutral marine soap applied top to bottom using professional wash mitts and brushes safe for gelcoat, painted surfaces, and windows.

    Step 3

    Waterline and Black Streak Treatment

    Stubborn waterline staining and black streaks are treated with specialized marine cleaners before the main wash.

    Step 4

    Machine Wax Application

    Premium polymer marine wax applied by machine to hull and topsides for a deep gloss and protective barrier against salt and UV.

    Salt and UV Are Attacking Your Vessel Right Now.

    South Florida is one of the harshest marine environments in the world for a vessel's finish. Salt air causes microscopic pitting in unprotected gelcoat. UV radiation from the Florida sun breaks down the surface layer, leading to oxidation and chalking.

    A regular wash and wax program creates a protective barrier that slows this degradation, preserves the depth and gloss of your gelcoat, and extends the intervals between more expensive compounding and detailing services. Think of it as the most cost-effective maintenance you can do for your vessel's appearance.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How often should I wax my boat in South Florida?

    In South Florida's intense UV and saltwater environment, we recommend waxing at least three times per year. Vessels kept in the water or used frequently benefit from waxing every 8 to 12 weeks to maintain maximum protection and gloss.

    What type of wax do you use?

    We use premium polymer marine waxes selected for their UV resistance, water repellency, and durability in saltwater environments. We do not use automotive waxes on marine surfaces as they are not formulated for the demands of the marine environment.

    Can you wax a boat that has oxidation?

    Light oxidation can sometimes be addressed as part of a wash and wax service. Moderate to heavy oxidation requires compounding first to remove the damaged surface layer before wax can properly bond and produce a lasting shine. We will assess your vessel's condition and recommend the right approach.

    Do you wax the entire boat or just the hull?

    Our standard wash and wax covers the hull and topsides. We can extend the service to include the superstructure, hardtop, and deck areas upon request. We will customize the scope to your vessel's specific needs.
