Professional Boat Detailing & Marine Surface Restoration in Seattle

Boat Care Is Not
Cosmetic.

It’s material science, inspection, and restraint.

Professional boat detailing and mobile boat detailing in Seattle — delivered through inspection-led correction systems, not cosmetic shortcuts.

Most boats don’t need more polishing.

They need the right intervention —or no intervention at all.
 

Oxidation, surface degradation, and gloss loss are not cosmetic problems.

They’re signs of material fatigue, improper past correction, or deferred maintenance.

That’s why our work starts with inspection — not a buffer.

The Mobile Boat Guys specialize in controlled marine surface rehabilitation.

We work within defined limits, using inspection-led correction systems designed to:

  • Arrest further degradation

  • Restore uniformity where recovery is viable

  • Preserve remaining material where it is not

Not every boat qualifies.
Not every surface should be corrected.

If you’re looking for fast cosmetic shine, we’re not the right fit.

If you’re looking for informed, disciplined boat detailing in Seattle —
with long-term outcomes in mind — you can request an evaluation.

How Marine Surface Correction Is Actually Decided

Most boat detailing companies start with a service menu.
We don’t.

Every boat presents a different material condition, exposure history, and risk profile. Treating all boats the same is how gelcoat is overworked, thinned, or permanently damaged.

That’s why our work is structured around assessment before action.

Inspection Comes Before Intervention

Before any correction work is recommended, we evaluate:

  • Oxidation depth and patterning

  • Surface uniformity and previous correction history

  • Gloss loss relative to remaining material

  • Environmental exposure and maintenance cycle

 

In many cases, the correct decision is limited intervention — not aggressive correction.

Not every surface should be corrected.

Not every boat qualifies for restoration.

Defined Limits, Not Unlimited Polishing

Our correction work operates within clearly defined limits.

We design correction strategies to:

  • Arrest further surface degradation

  • Restore uniformity only where recovery is viable

  • Preserve remaining material where it is not

Once material limits are reached, restraint becomes the professional choice.

More polishing is not better care.

Seasonal Strategy Matters

Marine surface work is affected by temperature, humidity, access, and workload concentration.

That’s why we operate with seasonal control windows, rather than year-round cosmetic availability.

Certain work is best performed:

  • Off-season

  • In controlled environments

  • With adequate time buffers for proper inspection and correction

Rushed work produces short-term shine — not long-term outcomes.

Marine Revive Protocol™  (MRP™ ):
Restoring Glory to the Neglected.
With our Marine Revive Protocol, we implement a series of specialized treatments designed to breathe new life into neglected boats. This protocol includes everything from deep-cleaning oxidation removal to applying advanced protective coatings. MRP is more than a service; it's a commitment to transforming boats from derelict to dazzling, ensuring they not only shine but are also prepared to face future challenges with resilience.

Hull Polishing

Hull polishing is selected after inspection determines the appropriate level of surface care.
 

Not every boat requires restoration. Many vessels benefit from lower-intervention correction and protection.

 

Typical scenarios include:

  • Maintenance polishing for lightly oxidized surfaces

  • Surface polish and wax for seasonal protection

  • Multi-stage correction when degradation warrants it

 

Lower-level polishing delivers predictable outcomes and is often priced by the foot.
 

Advanced correction and restoration are evaluated separately due to material variables.

 

We do not begin with assumptions — we begin with inspection.

Interior Cleaning

Interior cleaning is not about scent, shine, or speed.
It’s about material integrity, moisture control, and long-term livability.

Our interior cleaning intervention is designed to stabilize, preserve, and reset interior environments that have been exposed to water intrusion, UV exposure, organic buildup, and deferred care.

Before any work begins, we assess:

  • Material type and wear patterns

  • Moisture exposure and ventilation risk

  • Upholstery condition and colorfastness

  • Usage history and seasonal storage factors

 

Only then do we determine the appropriate level of intervention.

What Our Interior Cleaning Is Designed To Do:

  • Remove embedded contaminants without damaging fibers or finishes

  • Reduce moisture-related degradation and odor recurrence

  • Preserve original materials rather than aggressively replacing them

  • Restore cleanliness without introducing chemical residue or saturation risk

 

We use controlled methods, marine-safe agents, and purpose-built equipment—never one-size-fits-all processes.

What This Is Not:

  • Not a cosmetic wipe-down

  • Not a rushed turnover service

  • Not fragrance-based masking

 

Some interiors require light maintenance.
Others require disciplined correction.


Not every boat requires the same level of care.

If you’re looking for fast turnover cleaning, we may not be the right fit.


If you’re looking to protect the interior environment of your vessel, this intervention is designed for that purpose.
