How does something that spends its life in the water get so dirty? This is the million dollar question in the boating world. Whether your boat is in fresh or salt water, Mother Nature and the elements conspire against your best efforts to maintain a clean boat. Your best defense is regular cleaning by a Ship Shape marine detailing team!
Have you ever wondered why there are black streaks on your boat after a heavy rain? And more importantly, why won't they just wipe off? There are two contributing factors. First, dirt and contaminants captured by the rain (often creating acid rain). Second, improper cleaning techniques leave residual dirt on your boat that becomes apparent after rainfall. Choose a Ship Shape marine detailing team and know that your boat is protected from the elements and cleaned properly!
Cleaning your boat is hard work. It's easy to get the boat wet. The challenge begins with the drying and the details. For 12 years, the Ship Shape team has been paying attention to those details. Our staff is trained to use the right cleaning products and techniques with a focus on "elbow grease" not "chemical release". Our cleaning begins at the top of your boat, whether that is the hard top, radar arch, or mooring cover. We pay particular attention to acrylic windows and stainless steel. Each is cleaned with soap and water, dried with a chamois, and then wiped with a dry towel. There is no secret to spot and streak free... just hard work!
Ship Shape knows exactly how every teak deck should look and perform. The grain should be enhanced, comparable to fine furniture, and the finish should be durable and dirt resistant. Our teak restoration process achieves al of that with a low annual maintenance cost. We provide a superlative sealed finish that will leave your guests and neighbors in awe regardless of the starting condition of the teak. Our trusted line of hard drying oil-based sealants penetrates and dries with a protective satin finish that will not splatter with rain or rub off on clothing. No more acid cleaning! No more heavy sanding! Beautiful teak is the only Ship Shape way!
