When it comes to owning a boat or any other type of marine vessel, maintenance is the name of the game.

Our Marine Detailing Packages

We offer gelcoat correction

At East Tennessee Detail Center, we offer precision gelcoat restoration to get your boat in top shape. But what does gelcoat restoration entail exactly? Gelcoat restoration for boats involves revitalizing the outermost layer of your boat’s hull. First, our experienced crew performs a thorough cleaning of the boat. Then, depending on the condition, we use the least aggressive combination of sanding, compounding, buffing, polishing, and sealants to restore your gelcoat to its original shine and luster. Over time, regular exposure to elements like UV radiation, minerals, hard water and harsh chemicals can dull and degrade the gelcoat, making restoration crucial for both aesthetic appeal and longevity of the boat's surface.

Most Common Questions About Our Marine Detailing Services

What is marine detailing and why is it so important?

Our Ultimate and Premier detailing packages involve cleaning, scrubbing, and adding a layer of protection to the exterior and interior surfaces of boats and other watercraft. This goes well beyond rinsing a boat off to remove contaminants. Our detailing process eliminates dirt, stains, oxidation, and contaminants, all while providing durable UV protection and a flawless appearance.


Should I only have a professional perform detailing services on my boat?

Professional marine detailers, like the ones we have here at East Tennessee Detail Center, have years of expertise, tools, and quality detailing products to deliver superior results for your boat. We remove stains, contamination, and surface oxidation safely and professionally. A simple rinse, light hand wash, or "buff and wax" does not replace the quality you pay for with one of our many professional services.


How often should I have my boat detailed?

At East Tennessee Detail Center, we understand the importance of keeping your boat in top condition throughout the year. To kick off the boating season, we highly recommend a thorough cleaning of your boat's exterior and interior. This will not only ensure that your boat is ready for the season, but it will also prevent any long-term damage or issues from arising. We recommend scheduling maintenance washes every 2 weeks throughout the year, but at the very least, once a month.

How East Tennessee Detail Center Will Make Your Boat Sparkle Again

  • Full Exterior Surface Cleaning

    The first step in marine detailing at East Tennessee Detail Center involves a thorough washing process of your boat. This involves an intricate yet delicate process to remove everything from grime on your hull to algae and other contaminants that captains are all too familiar with. The exterior of the boat is washed using a gentle soap that our experts have experience with.

  • Glass Cleaning

    During the boat detailing process here at East Tennessee Detail Center, we want to make sure all glass surfaces on your boat are free of contamination as well. By washing your windshield and other windows, we can remove water spots, streaks, bird droppings, tree sap, and other environmental messes. Your boat will look even better with completely clean glass!

  • Sealant Application or a Ceramic Coating Upgrade

    Now, we have reached the final step in our pro-grade marine detailing services. This step involves the application of paint, gelcoat, and surface protection to help your boat’s exposed surfaces stay clean for longer. Marine-grade sealants are utilized on the boat's exterior, providing a protective barrier against UV rays, water, and all other environmental contaminants. If you want longer-lasting hydrophobicity and a deeper glossy appearance on your gelcoat, we recommend upgrading to a marine ceramic coating! 


    Marine ceramic coatings are an upgrade from sealants because they offer more durable protection against harsh environmental elements. Unlike sealants, which typically need to be reapplied every few months, ceramic coatings can last for several years with proper maintenance. They also provide a deeper, glossy appearance and stronger hydrophobicity, making it easier to keep your boat clean and protected.
