Where We Work
Boat detailing across Bennington, Elkhorn, Valley & Waterloo
Boat detailing in Omaha usually starts with a tow. You hitch up, haul across town, leave the boat at a shop for a week, then haul it home and back it into its spot. Our mobile unit exists to skip all of that. It carries its own water and power, so we work wherever your boat lives right now.
That covers your driveway with the boat still on the trailer, a storage yard, or an acreage out west. We run boat calls through Bennington and Elkhorn, then out to Valley and Waterloo, where a lot of owners keep a boat at the house instead of a public slip.
These are the driveways and lakefront acreages where a boat sits all season, and the sun works on the gel coat the whole time. We bring the full detail to it, trailer and all, so nothing has to be towed across town.

The Work
What we do on boats
Two ways to book: a full Inside & Out Detail, or the 2-Year Marine Ceramic Coating on top of it. Every job is quoted by boat length, and you have the number before we touch the hull.
Inside & Out Detail
The full boat in one visit. Hull and topsides washed and waxed, waterline scum and oxidation handled, then the interior, upholstery, and vinyl cleaned and conditioned.
Quoted by length · call or text
2-Year Marine Ceramic Coating
Above-waterline ceramic that sheds lake water and scum instead of holding it. The slicker surface cuts drag, so most owners see up to about 10% better fuel economy and up to 5% more speed.

Oxidation Removal & Restoration
Chalky, faded gel coat compounded and polished back to color and gloss. One of the most dramatic before-and-afters in this line of work.
How restoration works →Interior, Upholstery & Vinyl
Seats, carpet, compartments, and vinyl cleaned and then conditioned, so the sun has to work harder to crack them.
Quoted by length
Pontoons
Toons brightened, deck and furniture detailed. Pontoons are more surface than they look, and the quote will be honest about it.
Quoted by length
Jet Skis & PWC
Jet skis and wave runners cleaned, polished, or coated. Small enough that they can often ride along with a bigger booking.

Gel Coat Restoration
Chalky hull? That's oxidation, and it comes off
Gel coat is the pigmented outer skin on a fiberglass hull. There's no clear coat over it, so the sun works on the color directly. The gloss goes flat first. Then the surface turns chalky, and a dark hull starts leaving powder on your palm when you rub it.
Wash & strip
The hull gets washed and stripped of old wax, and the waterline scum gets treated so we can see what we're working with.
Compound
A heavy-cut marine compound removes the dead, oxidized layer. This is where the chalk comes off and the color returns.
Polish
A finishing polish refines the fresh gel coat underneath, bringing back the gloss and depth the hull had on day one.
Protect
Wax or sealant locks the finish in. If you want it to hold for seasons instead of weeks, this is where the 2-year marine ceramic goes on.
One honest note before you book a restoration: compounding removes material, and a hull only has so much gel coat to give. If you want the color to stay this time, add the 2-Year Marine Ceramic Coating while the surface is freshly corrected, so the next round of Nebraska sun hits the coating instead of the gel coat.
The Season
Two windows worth planning around
Spring · Lake-Ready Prep
Nebraska boats come out of winter storage dusty, water-spotted, and flat. A spring detail gets the hull glossy and protected before the first launch, which is far easier than trying to fix a summer's worth of scum line in August.
Fair warning on timing. The two weeks before Memorial Day are the busiest stretch of the season for every detailer in town. Book in April or early May and you pick the date instead of taking whatever's left.
Fall · Pre-Storage Protection
Before the shrink wrap goes on, the hull gets cleaned and sealed so whatever presses against it all winter sits on a layer of protection instead of bare gel coat.
It also buys you a faster spring. A boat protected in October comes out of storage needing a wash, not a restoration.
Trailer-Side Service
The boat stays where it is
There's no hauling to a shop and no week-long drop-off. We drive to the boat, do the work beside the trailer or on the dock, and walk the finished job with you before we leave, the same way we handle cars and trucks.
Boats vary too much for a flat rate board, so marine work is quoted by length and condition. Text a few photos to (402) 603-1072: the full hull from the side, the transom, and a couple of the interior. You'll get a straight number back.
Questions
Boat owners ask us
Do you come to the dock or marina?
Yes. The mobile unit carries its own water and power, so a dock, a marina lot, a storage yard, or your driveway all work the same for us. We cover boats kept in Bennington, Elkhorn, Valley, and Waterloo, plus the rest of the west Omaha metro.
What is gel coat oxidation?
Gel coat is the colored outer skin of a fiberglass hull, and sun slowly breaks it down. The surface loses gloss first, then turns chalky enough to leave powder on your hand. Compounding cuts that dead layer off and polishing brings the color back. That restoration work is done right beside your trailer or dock.
How long does marine ceramic coating last on a hull?
We run a 2-year marine ceramic above the waterline, and it outlasts wax by a wide margin. Wax on a hull is usually gone in a few weeks of lake use. The slick coating also cuts drag, so most owners see up to about 10% better fuel economy and up to 5% more speed. Real-world life still depends on how the boat lives, since trailered boats hold coatings longer than slip-kept ones and wash habits matter, and we give you an honest read on your boat when we quote it.
When should I book boat detailing in Omaha?
Spring and fall are the two rushes. For lake-ready prep, book in April or early May, before the Memorial Day scramble. For pre-storage protection, aim for late September or October, before the shrink wrap goes on. Midsummer weekdays are usually the easiest slots to get.
