BOAT DETAILING
Lux Detailer brings boat detailing and ceramic coating to your dock, lift, marina or driveway in Bluffton, Hilton Head, Beaufort and Savannah. Gelcoat has no clear coat to hide behind. Left unprotected it chalks, the colour flattens, and the surface turns porous enough to hold every stain the water puts on it — which is why a coated hull stays bright far longer than a waxed one.
Lux Detailer details and coats boats across the Lowcountry, mobile to your dock, lift or driveway. The job is a wash, decontamination, oxidation removal and machine polish, then the coating itself: a two-product Gtechniq system, or a single layer of Shine Supply Bedlock, depending on the package you choose. Hulls, topsides, non-skid, vinyl and helm surfaces are all part of the work. Get a free quote today.

WHY BOATS NEED PROFESSIONAL CARE
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. Topside surfaces are clayed and polished to restore gloss, then sealed with a marine ceramic coating or UV-protective wax. 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 Lowcountry 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 across the Lowcountry and Savannah. 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.
CERAMIC COATING & GEL COAT RESTORATION — FROM $75 PER FOOT
We come to your marina, dock, driveway or dry storage across the Lowcountry and Savannah. No travel fee. This work is priced per foot, because size and condition decide how much correction the gel coat needs.
Ceramic Coating
$75 / ft
Priced by length
A one-step buff, then a ceramic coating. For gel coat that still has a reflection. Locks in the shine and makes your boat much easier to keep clean. Boats under 18 ft: ceramic product minimum $265 per coat.
Ceramic Coating + Two-Step Correction
$105 / ft
Priced by length
A cut and a polish, then a ceramic coating. For gel coat with no reflection that does not chalk. Boats under 18 ft: ceramic product minimum $265 per coat.
Gel Coat Restoration + Ceramic Coating
$135 / ft
Priced by length
Wet sanding, a cut and a polish, then a ceramic coating. For chalky, heavily oxidized gel coat. Boats under 18 ft: ceramic product minimum $265 per coat.
How pricing works
A 26 ft boat with restoration and ceramic coating is 26 × $135 = $3,510. That is a starting estimate. Ceramic and gel coat work is quoted once we have seen your boat, because how far the gel coat has gone decides how much correction it needs. We confirm the price 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.
How to tell what you need
Run your hand along the hull. If it comes away chalky and leaves residue on your fingers, the gelcoat is oxidised and needs restoration first — wet sanding and a cut and polish, $105 per foot. A coating goes on after that, never instead of 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. Topside surfaces receive oxidation removal and UV-protective wax or ceramic sealant application. 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.
For vessels with heavy oxidation, we perform two-stage compounding and polishing to restore gelcoat clarity before applying your professional-grade marine ceramic coating or a premium marine wax. We also detail canvas tops, isinglass enclosures, and teak decking using specialized marine cleaners that protect without stripping natural oils. Our boat detailing packages range from basic wash-and-wax maintenance to complete restoration — and every service is performed at your location.

Salt water, sun exposure, and marine growth accelerate surface degradation, and left longer than a year oxidation and discoloration set into gelcoat, paint and plastics.
