What We Offer

At Hands On Deck, our boat detailing services are designed to provide your vessel with the comprehensive care it deserves. We start with a thorough wash, meticulously cleaning every inch of your boat to remove all traces of dirt and stains. For vessels showing signs of wear, we employ a detailed compounding process to eliminate any oxidation. If your boat is already in good shape, we shift our focus to polishing, enhancing the natural shine of your boat’s surfaces.

Our Services

Customized Care:

Understanding that no two boats are the same, each detailing session is uniquely tailored. Depending on the current condition of your boat and your specific needs, we offer two finishing options: wax or ceramic coating.

Wax Coating

Our traditional wax coating is a favorite among many boaters. It provides a reliable layer of protection and enhances the ease of cleaning. To maintain its effectiveness and prevent oxidation, we recommend reapplying the wax coating quarterly.

Ceramic Coating

For those seeking the latest in boat detailing technology, our ceramic coating offers a superior alternative. This advanced treatment significantly boosts surface protection against the elements. Ceramic coating’s durability means it only needs to be applied once every one to two years, depending on maintenance, providing a longer-lasting sheen and defense.

About Us

With Hands On Deck, you’re choosing a team that goes beyond the basics. We don’t just clean your boat; we protect and enhance it, ensuring each detailing not only meets but exceeds your expectations. Whether you opt for the traditional elegance of wax or the advanced protection of ceramic, our expert technicians are committed to delivering unmatched quality.

Understanding Oxidation: Causes and Remedies

numbers 1

What is Oxidation?

Oxidation occurs when your boat’s surfaces are exposed to oxygen and other elements like sunlight and saltwater over time. This chemical reaction can leave the gelcoat, which is the outermost layer on fiberglass boats, looking dull, faded, and chalky. Oxidation not only affects the aesthetic appeal of your boat but can also compromise its structural integrity if left untreated.

numbers 2

How is Oxidation Formed?

Oxidation is primarily formed through prolonged exposure to the elements, especially UV rays from the sun, which break down and degrade the surface of your boat. Saltwater can accelerate this process by contributing additional corrosive effects. Regular use without consistent cleaning and protective measures often leads to the development of oxidation.

Our Approach to Removing Oxidation

At Hands On Deck, we have perfected the process of removing oxidation and restoring your boat’s luster. Our expert technicians begin with a detailed assessment of the extent of oxidation. We then use a specialized compounding process to gently buff away the oxidized layer, revealing the undamaged surface beneath.

Restoration to Former Glory

Once the oxidation is removed, we proceed with high-quality polishing to enhance the shine and smoothness of your boat’s surfaces. Depending on your preference and the needs of your vessel, we finish the detailing with a choice of wax or ceramic coating. Wax provides a glossy finish and additional protection that needs renewal every few months, while ceramic coating offers a more durable barrier against future oxidation, lasting up to two years with proper maintenance. By choosing Hands On Deck for your boat detailing, you ensure that your vessel not only returns to its original beauty but also receives the protection it needs to resist the harsh marine environment. Our commitment to excellence guarantees that every inch of your boat looks pristine and is shielded against future damage.
