Pre-storage season

Get Your Boat Ready for Storage Now

The end of the season is the best time to detail your boat. Whatever goes into storage with it, like lake film, sunscreen and food on the vinyl, or damp carpet, sits there all winter and turns into stains, mildew and oxidation by spring.

A pre-storage detail gets the boat clean and dry inside and out and puts a layer of protection on the gelcoat before it sits. Then in the spring, we can come back for a spring prep detail so your first weekend is spent on the water instead of scrubbing the boat.

We work on boats right where they sit: on the trailer at your house, at a storage lot, or at the marina if your marina allows outside detailers. We’re 100% mobile and bring our own water and power.

We’ve been detailing around Charlotte for over 6 years and we’re rated 4.9 stars on Google with 180+ reviews.

How we do it

How a Boat Detail Goes

Every boat is different, so we look at it first and go from there.

01

Walkaround & Plan

We look over the hull, deck and interior, check the oxidation, and agree on the plan before we start.

02

Wash

Hull and deck washed to get off lake film, waterline scum, bird droppings and grime.

03

Oxidation Removal

Chalky gelcoat gets machine compounded and polished. Same skill as paint correction, just on fiberglass.

04

Protection

Your choice of wax, sealant or ceramic coating, based on how long you want it to last.

05

Vinyl, Carpet & Mildew

Vinyl seats cleaned and conditioned, mildew treated, carpet cleaned, console and storage wiped down.

06

Final Walkaround

We go over the boat with you before we pack up, so you know exactly what was done.

Going into storage or getting ready for spring, we take care of it right where it’s parked.

Faded paint

Fabian did a fantastic job on my car! I was shocked. It looked better than the day I bought it brand new back in 2018. My car is an Indigo Blue color that was faded and the paint was getting rough all over the hood. He did such a thorough job that when he was through I couldn’t believe it was the same car. He provided amazing service! I highly recommend Fabian. FC Auto Detailing is 10/10 !!

★★★★★

12-year-old car

I can’t recommend FC Auto Detailing enough! Fabian came to our home and made our 12 year old car look like it was just driven, brand new, off the lot. He really took the time and care to make sure everything was perfect. The best part is that you can really tell he takes great pride in his work. I highly recommend FC Auto Detailing for your car Detailing needs!

Questions

Boat Detailing FAQs

When should I get my boat detailed?

Twice a year works for most boats: once before it goes into storage, and again in the spring before it goes back in the water. The pre-storage detail is the one people skip, and it’s the one that saves the most work later.

In most cases, yes. Chalky, faded gelcoat can usually be brought back with machine compounding and polishing. Heavy oxidation takes more steps, and we’ll tell you what to expect when we see it.

Wax costs the least and wears off the fastest. A sealant lasts longer. A ceramic coating costs more up front but lasts the longest and makes the boat easier to clean. We’ll go over the options when we see the boat.

Yes, if your marina allows outside detailers. Some don’t, so check with them first. We can also work on the boat on the trailer at your house or at a storage lot.

It depends on the length and condition of the boat. Every job is priced on its own. Send us the length and a few photos, or call (980) 800-3909, for a quote.
