The Salt Line Oxidation Scale
Four levels, and what each one costs
Oxidation removal is the one service that scales with condition, because heavier oxidation means more machine stages. Find your boat below — this is exactly how we price it.
Rates shown are starting prices per foot of boat length. Final pricing is confirmed once we see the boat.
Common questions
Before you book
How is pricing calculated?
Almost everything in marine detailing scales with length, so we price per foot, then adjust for how complex the boat is and what condition the finish is in. A neglected, heavily oxidized hull takes several times the labor of a well-kept one — that's the biggest variable in any quote.
Is the online estimate the final price?
No. It's a realistic range based on the same math we use in person. The firm number comes after we see the boat, test a section, and confirm what the gelcoat needs. If the in-person look changes the price, we tell you before we start — never after.
Do I need to haul the boat out?
Usually not. We work in the slip, on a lift, on a trailer, or in the yard. Bottom work below the waterline is the exception.
Ceramic or graphene — what's the real difference?
Both are hard, semi-permanent protective layers. Graphene chemistry runs slicker and handles water spotting and heat better, and it typically lasts a couple of years longer. If your boat sits in the sun on a lift and spots up constantly, graphene is worth the difference. If it's covered or garaged, ceramic is plenty.
How long does a coating actually last?
Ceramic runs 2–3 years and graphene 4–5, with maintenance washes. Coatings aren't a force field — they make salt and grime release easily instead of bonding to the gelcoat. Skip maintenance for two seasons and any coating will underperform.
What's the deposit for?
It holds your date on the calendar and covers materials ordered for your job. It comes straight off your final balance. Full deposit terms are on the booking page.
