So many people come to us asking what to use to maintain their details. After our technicians spend sometimes multiple days on a detail, people want them to last as long as possible. So, here are our recommendations for getting the most out of your details!

1. Wipe down your boat after every use. The best defense against water spots is keeping your boat free of the calcium buildup that our lakes are full of. Wipe down your boat with something PH balanced, so your wax doesn’t get stripped. We recommend our Ceramic Infused Water Spot Remover, or CCT spray for short. It’s specially formulated not to damage your boat, while providing strong water spot removal and even the added benefits of ceramic. You can find yours here.
2. We also love Hula Boat Care products! They’re marine safe and work wonders. Some of our favorite products are the Wipeout Vinyl Cleaner and Conditioner and the Chill Mold Retardant. They are awesome to keep around to freshen up the boat between details. You can find Hula products here.
3. The last thing that we recommend is getting on a regular detail schedule. We offer Bi-weekly, Monthly and Bi-monthly service to maintain your detail. We will keep everything sparkling for you and even keep up with your wax application between uses.

All in all, getting a detail is just the beginning of making your Boat Beautiful! Let us know how we can customize a solution that works for you.

We’ve all been there. Out for a day on the lake with the family and friends, everything is going well until you go to park her for the day. You get her up on the lift and notice hard, ugly water spots all over your exterior.

The lakes in Central Texas have some of the hardest calcium around. That makes those awful spots more prevalent, and more sticky.

If you just leave them there, they can turn into “hard” water spots, where the calcium actually eats away at the gel coat on your boat’s exterior and can cause serious damage that can cost thousands to fix.

Many people take to wiping down their boats after each use, which is the best way to make sure you don’t let those spots set in. But what do you use to wipe her down?

We’ve formulated a Ceramic Infused Water Spot Remover to solve this problem. The formula is designed to eat away at water spots without hurting your gel coat in any way, and the extra layer of Ceramic Coating acts as a protective layer for you as well.

With kids these days being so busy, it’s hard to carve out any true family time. Between school, sports, clubs and the ever-present phone all vying for attention. How are families supposed to spend any quality time together?

That’s where boats come in. Load the boat up with the whole family, disconnect from the rest of the world and make some memories that you’ll cherish forever.

So many families have adopted this model of quality time that it’s almost more common to see a boat full of kids in life jackets than a boat full of adults with beers. It’s effective, it’s easy, and in Central Texas it’s local.

After the big family weekend on the boat, she may look a little worse for the wear. That’s where we come in. She’ll need to have the chips vacuumed out of the carpet, the windows wiped of sticky prints and the outside wiped down from the calcium in the lake.

April 15 means one thing to most Americans: Tax day. But for my family it meant something completely different. April 15 is the first day that the lake is warm enough to swim in! Now obviously this isn’t an exact science, since it’s close to summer temps all year round in Central Texas, but nonetheless April 15 is quickly approaching and you’re going to need to be lake ready.
If your boat has been sitting in the slip, dry stack, or in your backyard for these last few months you should be thinking about what shape it’ll be in come that first day on the lake. No one wants to spend the first day of sunshine and blue skies washing and waxing in preparation for the fun. So, here are some super simple steps to insure that your first lake day goes off without a hitch.

-Start her up
Give your boat a good test start and make sure everything whirrs back to life. Sitting in the slip for 6 to 8 months can drain a battery or inverter easily. Make sure she is all gassed up and ready to roll!

-Look for repairs needed
Give your boat a once-over. You never know if a possum made your cruiser its home for the winter. Look for tears in upholstery, nicks in the gel coat and any oxidation that could have formed while you were away.

-Get her cleaned up
This is the easiest part. Call Boat Beautiful. Our trained technicians will come out to you anywhere in Central Texas to give your boat a full detail. We’re going to Scrub, UV protect, and condition your seats, lift up those seats and clean everything underneath, taking care of all compartments, vacuum all carpeting, clean all chrome and stainless steel, clean your windows, clean tower and bimini (if you have them,) and we will also wash your cover. For the exterior we will asses what she needs and apply a series of compounds and waxes to best bring back your gel coat’s original shine.

-Protect her shine
The best thing you can do to protect your boat’s original shine and make cleaning her up all season a breeze is Ceramic Coating. Ceramic Coating is a nanotechnology that beads and repels water, but most of all will make your boat much easier to maintain. You’ll cut your lake preparation in half if you invest in Ceramic Coating for your vessel, and that means more time on the lake with your friends and family.
Boat maintenance is an ongoing and tedious process. We can eliminate the most difficult parts for you with our detailing and Ceramic Coating services. Give us a call!.
