Wash Correction Ceramic Marine Services
Wash Tier

Your Boat's in Good Shape

Run your hand across the gelcoat. If it comes back clean, you're here. No heavy oxidation, just dirt, salt, and the normal grime that builds up. This package cleans everything and protects it with polymer.

Package 01

Clean & Protect

Complete Wash with 2-in-1 Compound & Polymer (Revolution)

No heavy oxidation - your boat just needs a thorough cleaning and protection. I wash everything: topside, hull, cowlings, scum line, waterline. Rust stains removed from hull and topside. Vinyl cleaned with UV protectant. Non-skid and foam floors scrubbed. All compartments get a light clean and vacuum. Metals, glass, isinglass, plastic trim - all cleaned and protected. Light scuff marks buffed out. Then I machine-apply Starke Revolution 2-in-1 across topside, hull, and cowlings - removes any light haze and lays down polymer in one pass.

$900 - $1,300 (20-30ft)
Correction Tier

That Chalky Residue on Your Hand? That's Oxidation.

It won't wash off. The gelcoat is breaking down from UV and salt. These packages use machine compounding to cut through it and bring back the gloss. Every correction package includes all services from the Clean & Protect.

Package 02

Buff & Restore Light

Full Boat Detail with Light Polish

Full boat scope: wash, non-skid scrub, fish boxes cleaned and waxed, vinyl deep clean with UV protectant, head sanitized, metals polished. Starke Revolution 2-in-1 applied by machine removes light haze and swirl marks while laying down polymer protection in one step. Compartments wiped down, bilge vacuumed.

$1,300 - $1,900 (20-30ft)
Package 03

Buff & Restore Medium

Full Boat Detail with Medium Correction

Full boat scope plus medium correction. Starke Elevate medium compound cuts through moderate oxidation and restores depth and gloss. Sealed with Hyper Hold Pro SiO2 polymer sealant for 3-6 months of protection. Fish boxes cleaned and waxed, vinyl deep clean with UV protectant, head sanitized, metals polished. Compartments wiped down, bilge vacuumed.

$1,700 - $2,500 (20-30ft)
Most Popular Package 04

Buff & Restore Heavy

Full Boat Detail with Heavy Correction

This is what most boats need. Full boat scope plus two-step correction. Level R heavy compound via rotary removes the deep oxidation. Elevate medium polish refines the surface. Fish boxes cleaned and waxed, vinyl deep clean with UV protectant, head sanitized, metals polished. Hyper Hold Pro seals all surfaces. Compartments wiped down, bilge vacuumed.

$2,100 - $3,100 (20-30ft)
Package 05

Full Restoration

Full Boat Detail with Wet Sand and 3-Step Correction

Full boat scope plus complete restoration. When oxidation is severe, I start with sanding (600, 800, 1000 dry, then 1000 wet) to level the surface. Then three-step correction: Blaze heavy compound, Elevate medium polish, Ignition finishing polish. Hyper Hold Pro seals all surfaces. Fish boxes, vinyl, head, metals - everything addressed. Boats that look better than new deliveries. Compartments wiped down, bilge vacuumed.

$2,600 - $3,800 (20-30ft)

Correction Gets You There. Ceramic Keeps You There.

Starke ceramic coatings with stacked application. 12-24 months of real protection in saltwater conditions. I won't tell you it lasts 5 years. That's automotive. This is marine. Includes all Clean & Protect services plus full correction.

Ceramic

Standard & Premium Ceramic

Full Correction + Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coating doesn't hide problems, it seals them in. Every boat gets full correction first. Then multi-coat ceramic applied to protect the finish.

Towers and T-tops get Aluminum Coating. Compartments wiped down, bilge vacuumed.

$2,800 - $5,400 (20-30ft)
