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 a deep clean that lifts stuck-on grime 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.
BOAT DETAILING — FROM $15 PER FOOT
We come to your marina, dock, driveway or dry storage in Bluffton, SC. No travel fee. Boat work is priced per foot, because length and condition drive how long it takes.
Super Wash
$15 / ft
Priced by length
Full exterior hand wash and dry.
MOST POPULAR
Premium Wax
$25 / ft
Priced by length
Everything in Super Wash, plus a deep clean that lifts stuck-on grime and a hand-applied heavy-duty wax.
Enhancement Correction
$45 / 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.
Two-Step Gelcoat Correction
$75 / ft
Priced by length
For gelcoat with no reflection that does not chalk on your finger: a cut, then a polish. No wet sanding.
Heavy Oxidation & Gelcoat Restoration
$105 / ft
Priced by length
Wetsanding and two-step cut-and-buff gelcoat correction, for gelcoat that is chalky or heavily oxidised. With a ceramic coating on top, it is $135 per foot. Boats under 18 ft: ceramic product minimum $265 per coat.
How pricing works
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.
Bigger boats
Open boats up to 30 ft pay the price per foot above. Cabin and flybridge boats, and open boats over 30 ft: washes and wax are $18 and $30 per foot, and buffing and ceramic are 1.25 to 1.75 times the price per foot. Over 45 ft, or a sailboat: we measure it and quote. Every boat job is at least $199.
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 — gelcoat restoration is $105 per foot.
A Proven Marine Detailing Process
Boat detailing here is built around life on the water. First comes a full hull wash with marine-safe cleaners that lift salt deposits, waterline stains and algae while leaving the gel coat unharmed. Enhancement Correction is the once-a-year buff and wax for a well-kept hull that shows just light oxidation. Premium Wax and the tiers above it finish the topside with heavy-duty wax worked in by hand, and a marine ceramic sealant can be added on top. We detail the metal hardware, clean and condition the vinyl seats, and bring non-skid decking back to life. Need canvas or isinglass cleaned? We do enclosures and tops too. Our mobile marine unit comes straight to your Bluffton dock, lift or dry storage yard.
