Keep your boat in top condition with expert detailing services in Gainesville, GA. Protect against oxidation, water stains, and sun damage.
Boats deal with a lot more than just dirt and dust. Between the sun, lake water, algae, and everyday use, your boat’s surfaces take a beating. That’s where professional boat detailing makes all the difference. At Shine It Detailing and Tinting, we provide full-service boat detailing in Gainesville, GA to keep your vessel clean, protected, and looking its best—whether it’s out on Lake Lanier or parked in your driveway.
Our team works on everything from fishing boats and pontoons to ski boats and cabin cruisers. We know the materials, we understand the wear, and we’ve got the tools to get it done right.
At Shine It Detailing and Tinting, we specialize in providing expert boat detailing services using high-quality products that ensure durability and a flawless finish.
Just like your car, your boat needs routine care to maintain its appearance and value. Water spots, oxidation, and grime build up fast—especially after a few weekends out on the lake. Our detailing services remove those contaminants and help guard your boat’s surface from sun damage, stains, and general wear and tear.
Here’s why detailing your boat is a smart move:
Protects Gelcoat and Paint: The sun is no joke in Georgia, and it can quickly fade or oxidize your boat’s finish. Our detailing process includes protection that helps preserve the shine and color.
Removes Stubborn Waterline Stains: Lake water leaves behind buildup that sticks to the hull. We clean those marks and polish the surface to get your boat back to looking clean.
Prevents Long-Term Damage: Grime, mildew, and contaminants can slowly damage your seats, vinyl, trim, and fiberglass. Regular detailing helps stop that damage before it starts.
Boosts Resale Value: Thinking about selling down the road? A clean, well-maintained boat shows better and holds its value longer.
Makes Every Trip Better: Let’s face it—boating is more fun when your setup looks good. A clean deck and polished hull just feel better when you’re out on the water.
A quality detail makes all the difference in the performance and longevity of your boat. Our process delivers a smooth and consistent finish that resists water spots, fading, and oxidation with no streaks, no patchy results, and no shortcuts. Here is what you can expect:
Full Rinse and Wash: We start with a pressure rinse followed by a full-body wash using marine-safe soap. This removes surface dirt, dust, bird droppings, and grime.
Hull Cleaning and Waterline Treatment: That brown waterline stain along the hull? We’ve got the products and elbow grease to take care of it. We clean below and around the waterline for a consistent finish.
Oxidation and Surface Correction (If Needed): If the gelcoat has become chalky or faded, we perform a light polish or compound to remove oxidation and bring back gloss.
Wax or Sealant Application: We apply a marine-grade wax or sealant to protect against UV rays, water spotting, and contaminants. This helps keep your boat cleaner, longer.
Interior Cleaning: Inside the boat, we vacuum and wipe down seats, compartments, and consoles. We clean vinyl, cup holders, and flooring—getting rid of sand, leaves, and whatever else made it on board.
Final Touches and Inspection: We finish by cleaning the glass, polishing metal trim, and checking all areas to make sure the detail is complete from bow to stern.

At Shine It Detailing and Tinting, we bring our professional detailing services directly to you. Whether you are at home, work, or any other location in Gainesville, we make it easy to maintain your vehicle without the hassle of visiting our shop. Here’s other services we offer to keep your vehicle in top shape:
Paint Correction: Restore the Gloss and Clarity
Over time, your car’s paint can develop swirl marks, fine scratches, water spots, and oxidation that dull its appearance. Paint correction is the solution to revive your vehicle’s finish, removing these imperfections and restoring a deep, mirror-like shine. Whether your car is brand new or a few years old, this service will completely transform its exterior, bringing back clarity and depth to the paint.
Ceramic Coating: Protect Your Car, RV, or Boat’s Paint
Our professional-grade ceramic coating provides a durable protective layer for your vehicle’s paint. This advanced coating effectively acts as a barrier against environmental contaminants, helping to preserve its original luster and providing long-lasting shine. Additionally, the hydrophobic properties of the ceramic coating make washing your car significantly easier, as dirt, grime, and other residues will not adhere as strongly to the treated surface.
Exterior Detailing: A Refresh for Your Exterior
If your car’s paint is starting to lose its luster, an exterior detail can bring back that showroom shine. This process includes an exterior wash, iron decontamination, clay bar treatment, and the application of a premium sealant.
Interior Detailing: Reset Your Car, Boat, or RV’s Interior
Imagine sinking into seats that feel brand new, breathing in that fresh car scent again. We don’t just wipe surfaces; we get into every crack and crevice, lifting away the grime you can see and the hidden dirt you can’t. From revitalizing your carpets to conditioning your leather, we bring back that sparkling clean and comfortable interior you’ve been missing.
RV Detailing: Keep Your RV in Top Condition
RVs require special care due to their size and exposure to the elements. Our RV detailing service ensures both the interior and exterior are properly cleaned and protected, whether you’re getting ready for a trip or simply performing routine upkeep. From washing and waxing to interior cleaning, we’ll help keep your RV looking its best.
Window Tinting: Comfort, Privacy, and Protection
Window tinting is a great way to reduce interior heat, block harmful UV rays, and add privacy to your vehicle. Our high-quality films help protect your interior from fading while keeping your cabin cooler during hot Georgia days. Whether you want a sleek look or better driving comfort, our professional tinting service has you covered.

How long does boat detailing take?
It depends on the size of the boat and the condition it’s in. Most jobs take between 2 and 6 hours. Heavily oxidized boats or larger vessels may take longer.
Can you detail the boat on a trailer or lift?
Yes. We can work on boats whether they’re on a trailer, lift, or parked in storage. Just let us know ahead of time so we can plan the setup.
How often should I get my boat detailed?
For regular use, we recommend a full detail at least twice a season—once before boating season and once before storage. More frequent washing in between is ideal.
Do you clean interiors too?
Absolutely. We vacuum and wipe down seating, flooring, cupholders, consoles, and more. We also offer mold and mildew treatment if needed.
Will you remove oxidation?
Yes, depending on the severity. Light oxidation can usually be polished out. Heavier oxidation may require multiple steps, and in some cases, full restoration may not be possible—but we’ll do our best.
Can I combine boat detailing with other services?
Yes. Many customers bundle their boat service with ceramic coating, RV detailing, or vehicle services if everything’s parked at the same location.
If your boat needs a refresh before hitting the lake—or it’s time to clean it up after a few weekends out—we’ve got you covered. At Shine It Detailing and Tinting, we provide expert boat detailing in Gainesville, whether at your home, your storage facility, or your driveway.
