BOAT DETAILING BLUFFTON SC
Boats kept on the May River live in brackish water, and it shows. Tannin staining darkens a white hull, oyster and barnacle growth builds below the waterline, and Lowcountry sun chalks gelcoat that has lost its protection.
Boat detailing in Bluffton SC from Lux Detailer is fully mobile — we come to your dock, your lift or your driveway at Palmetto Bluff, Colleton River, Old Town or wherever the boat sits on its trailer. We wash, decontaminate, cut back oxidation and protect the gelcoat, and clean the interior down to the seams in the upholstery. For coated boats we install a two-product Gtechniq system or a single layer of Shine Supply Bedlock, depending on the package. Get a free quote today.

WHY BLUFFTON BOATS NEED PROFESSIONAL CARE
The Bluffton Boating Environment Is Brutal
Our boat detailing process begins with a full freshwater rinse to remove salt deposits, followed by a marine-grade wash using pH-neutral cleaners safe for gel coat and vinyl. We hand-wash the hull, transom, and waterline, removing scum, algae, and mineral staining. Premium Wax adds clay bar decontamination and a hand-applied heavy-duty wax, and Enhancement Correction adds a machine buff to restore gloss on a well-maintained hull with light oxidation. Chalky gel coat that leaves residue on your hand does not qualify — that needs gelcoat restoration, quoted after inspection. A marine ceramic coating can be added as an upgrade. Cabin work is a quoted add-on and covers vinyl deep-cleaning, mildew treatment, carpet extraction, and helm polish. We finish with metal brightwork polishing on rails, cleats, and hardware. Every Bluffton boat detail is performed on-site at your dock or driveway — our self-contained mobile units carry everything needed including fresh water and generator power.

MOST POPULAR

Enhancement Correction
$35+ / ft
Priced by length
Everything in Premium Wax, plus a machine buff. This is the yearly buff and wax for a well-maintained hull — light oxidation, swirls and light scratches.
Heavy Oxidation & Gelcoat Restoration
By quote
Priced after inspection
Wetsanding and two-step cut-and-buff gelcoat correction, for gelcoat that is chalky or heavily oxidised. Priced after we have seen it.
A 26 ft boat on Premium Wax is 26 × $25 = $650. These are starting estimates. Length and condition both move the price, so your exact figure comes by quote once we have seen your boat — and we confirm it with you before any work starts.
Not sure which one you need? Run your hand along the hull. If it comes away chalky and leaves residue on your fingers, the gelcoat needs restoration rather than the Enhancement package — send us photos and we will quote it.
A Proven Marine Detailing Process
Our boat detailing process is specifically designed for the marine environment. We begin with a thorough hull wash using marine-safe cleaning agents that cut through salt deposits, waterline stains, and algae growth without damaging gel coat. Enhancement Correction is the yearly buff and wax for a well-maintained hull with light oxidation only, and from Premium Wax up the topside is sealed with a hand-applied heavy-duty wax; a marine ceramic sealant can be added as an upgrade. We detail all metal hardware, clean and condition vinyl seating, and restore non-skid surfaces. Canvas and isinglass cleaning is available for enclosures and tops. Our mobile marine unit comes directly to your dock, lift, or dry storage facility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hull wash and wax, deck scrub, vinyl and upholstery cleaning, metal polishing, glass treatment, and optional ceramic coating for long-term marine protection.
Yes. Lux Detailer is fully mobile and services boats at marinas, dry storage, boat lifts, and private docks throughout the Lowcountry.
For boats used regularly in saltwater we recommend a deep wash and spray wax every 3 months, a deep wash with a heavy coat of wax every 6 months, and a deep buff and wax of the gelcoat and painted surfaces once a year. Left longer than that, oxidation and discoloration set into gelcoat, paint and plastics. Monthly maintenance washes help preserve the finish between details.
Yes. Our compound and polish process removes oxidation, water stains, and yellowing from gelcoat and fiberglass surfaces.
Yes. Marine-grade ceramic coating provides exceptional protection against UV damage, salt spray, and biological growth. It makes washdowns faster and easier.
