The Captain has heard the statement many times that Boat Detailing is not rocket science! Well, we must be slow learners because after forty-three years in the boat detailing business, we are still learning about new and improved boat detailing products to achieve the very best and lasting boat detailing results. We are constantly speaking with the technical departments of the boat detailing industry leaders about boat detailing products. Captain Levi stocks and ships Nation Wide what we believe to be the very best boat detailing products for the Professional boat detailer as well as the Do-It-Yourself boat detailing community and we receive a lot of positive feed back.Most fiberglass boats have a Gel Coat finish, which is much harder than paint and twenty to thirty mills thicker.How ever, unlike paint,Gel Coat is porous and must be treated differently than paint.When in a neglected state Gel Coat requires more labor intense effort and much more aggressive Buffing Compounds and Polishes to restore Gel Coat. No finish, however, is maintenance free in Florida,the "Sunshine State." The ultraviolet rays burns your boat Gel Coat. Acid rain, saltwater bird droppings,bottom staining all work against the boat Gel Coat, resulting in oxidation Gel Coat degradation, water stains and water etching.

With out proper Boat Detailing care , your boat Gel Coat will show signs of neglect and will cause costly damage and devalue your boat.Boat manufacturers recommend washing, polishing, and waxing all the fiberglass surfaces regularly to prevent oxidation of the gel coat. Captain Levi recommends frequent washings with boat soap, not dish soap, because wax is grease and harsh detergents that are designed to remove grease from your dishes will remove your boat wax and your UV protection.Boat hardware bow rails, running lights, cleats, and all the boat metals require polishing.The Boat bright work, teak, mahogany, or other types of wood, require care as well.Boat vinyl cushions,boat rub rails need cleaning and conditioning. Below we are going to go into more depth on boat detailing and share some before and after pictures.

Hellion was built by the Scaburri brothers, Danielo and Giuideppe, of the Uniesse Marine of Italy. The Hellion came to us from NY, NY. As you can clearly see, Hellion was in a neglected state! Her Gel Coat surfaces were damaged due to heavy oxidation, tough water etching, and scratches. Her upper deck's Gel Coat degradation was bleeding all over her hull sides.Hellion's metal's were dull and dingy. Her isinglass had lost its optic clarity and oxidation.In addiction chemical degradation, surface contamination, stains and light scratches were present. Hellion's teak decks were bleached out, dry and degrading. Hellion's restoration is a tale of enthusiasm and skill, along with the passion and hard work of the men and women of Captain Levi's boat detailing crew to undue the neglect Hellion had been subjected to and to bring her back to a Bristal condition.
