San Francisco Bay Area, CA
Boat Detailing on the San Francisco Bay
Oxidation removal, gelcoat polish, and System X Marine ceramic protection — done at your slip, marina, or dry storage.
Salt, Sun, and Spray Are Eating Your Gelcoat
Bay water is brutal on a hull. Salt spray etches gelcoat, UV chalks it into that dull, powdery haze, and hard-water spots bake onto glass and stainless every time the fog burns off. By the time a boat looks tired at the dock, the oxidation has usually been working for a couple of seasons.
We bring the correction studio to your slip: a machine compound and polish to cut the oxidation back to true color, metal and glass polishing, and — for owners who want to stop doing this every season — a System X Marine ceramic coating. We're a certified System X installer, and Marine is one of the surfaces we're certified for; it bonds to gelcoat the way our automotive coatings bond to clear coat, so wipe-downs replace scrubbing and the shine survives the season.
We serve the whole SF waterfront — Sausalito, Tiburon and Belvedere, the San Francisco Marina, Richardson Bay, and dry-storage yards. Every boat is different, so send a few photos of the hull and topsides and we'll text you an exact quote, usually within the hour.
What We Do on Boats
- Oxidation removal + gelcoat compound and polish
- Topside wash, interior wipe-down, and glass polishing
- Metal polishing — rails, cleats, and trim
- System X Marine ceramic coating (hull + topsides)
- Seasonal maintenance washes at your slip
Why Ceramic on a Boat
- Salt rinses off instead of bonding to the gelcoat
- UV protection slows chalking and fade
- Scum line cleans up dramatically faster
- One coating outlasts a season of waxing
Pricing
Every hull size and oxidation level is different, so boat work is quoted from photos — text us the boat's length, where it lives, and a few pictures and we'll reply with an exact number, usually within the hour.
