How Long Beach CA Boat Detailing Extends The Life Of Your Ship

By William Bell


Many people dream of one day owning a boat, because it symbolizes a kind of freedom that they want. The freedom to leave on a whim to go fishing, or swimming in the middle of the ocean anytime you want. But having a vessel is a huge responsibility, and includes a lot of upkeep. Instead of doing it yourself, hire a Long Beach CA boat detailing service to do it for you.

Some people think detailing is only about aesthetics, about making the boat see or feel clean and shiny. In actuality, there is much more to it than that. In getting the boat cleaned, you also help to ensure it stays seaworthy for years to come. That is because a clean, protected outer surface protects it from holes or splits that can cause irreparable damage.

Instead, you can hire a crew with experience in protective barriers on the outer walls to seal it off for you. They will first wash the surface thoroughly, removing anything that may slow you down or cause trouble later. Then they use either a wax or a sealant to build that barrier and make it shine. This ensures that salt, moisture and the weather do not wear it down.

Once the outside of the ship is done and the wax or sealant is drying, they will go below deck and ensure everything is clean there, too. This includes taking care of carpets or flooring, and even detailing the dash and console around the wheel, where the captain steers the ship. They will also check for mold or mildew to keep you safe.

You do not have to sweat the small stuff either, as they will take care of tiny details such as rails and grab bars. They will clean these and make sure they are sturdy and in good repair. Any glass windows on board will be cleaned as well, including the windshield.

They will also wash and polish the motor cowling if need be. If your boat is on land instead of water, then they will gladly clean your towing trailer, including rims and tires so that it looks great when you are towing the ship from one place to the next.

Most service providers will also do an inspection to see if some minor things need fixing. For example, during the rigors of being at sea, a few bolts or screws may start to loosen, and the detailing team can simply tighten them up for you. They can also fix carpet that might be coming up from the floor by re-stapling or gluing it, and even paint some trim as necessary to make the boat ready to use.

You could just pay for a one time cleaning, but in order to maintain the boat in the long term, you will need ot get it done again, and on a regular basis. Instead of having to call ahead each time and make an appointment, you can instead set a regular schedule where the crew comes out on a periodic and recurring basis to do the work. You may even get a discount for booking in advance to save you a little money.
