Service catalog
Cleaning, correction, and protection are different jobs.
The final scope should identify what will be cleaned, what defects will be corrected, what protection will be applied, and what results cannot be guaranteed.
01◌
Full mobile boat detail
A comprehensive interior-and-exterior reset for a maintained or moderately dirty boat.
Common scope
- Exterior rinse, marine-safe wash, and dry
- Glass, trim, rails, cupholders, tables, and accessible compartments
- Interior vacuuming and surface cleaning
- Vinyl cleaning and appropriate conditioning
- Carpet, woven flooring, or deck cleaning

02◇

Targeted interior service for boats stored under covers, exposed to humidity, or affected by food, sunscreen, spills, pets, and moisture.
