What we do — and what it costs
Our core work is across boats and cars, with property detailing available on request. Every job gets the same treatment: quality products, meticulous prep, and a finish that speaks for itself.
Boat detailing
The marine environment gives gelcoat a hammering — salt spray, UV, growth and grime dull the hull season by season. A proper boat detail brings it back.
We start with a thorough wash-down of the hull, deck and cockpit, then machine polish the gelcoat to cut back oxidation and restore that deep, launch-day gloss. From there it's protected with quality sealants so it stays that way longer. Interiors, vinyl, stainless and clears can all be worked into the job — tell us what your boat needs when you book.
- Full wash-down — hull, deck, cockpit
- Machine polish & oxidation removal

- Interior, vinyl & stainless on request

Car detailing & polishing
Your car deserves more than just a wash. From deep interior cleans to machine polishing that pulls years of swirls out of the paint.
Exterior details cover a safe hand wash, decontamination and protection; interiors get a proper deep clean — seats, carpets, trim and glass. Step up to machine polishing and we refine the clear coat itself, removing swirl marks, light scratches and haze to bring back genuine depth and clarity.
- Interior deep cleans — seats, carpets, trim
- Safe hand wash & decontamination
- Machine polishing & paint enhancement
- Wax & sealant protection
- Daily drivers to weekend classics
Who it's for: anyone from Matakana lifestyle blocks to Omaha beach houses — anywhere in Rodney.

These days I'm mainly on the boats, so on the car side I keep it simple: a full reset that brings it right back, plus maintenance washes for the clients I look after regularly. Priced by vehicle size — vans, utes & 7-seaters as large. Ceramic coating for cars is still available below.
Ceramic coating
A ceramic coating is the longest-lasting protection you can put on your car's paint — and on boats we coat the glass, frames, tenders and aluminium or vinyl surfaces.
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to the surface, creating a hard, ultra-hydrophobic layer — water beads and sheets off, UV fades slower, and every wash afterwards gets easier. We're straight about one thing: we don't ceramic-coat gelcoat hulls. Gelcoat performs best with a proper machine cut & polish and sealant, so that's what we do on the hull — and we save the ceramic for the surfaces it's genuinely right for.
- Cars: long-term gloss & swirl resistance
- Boat glass, frames & tenders: coated for easy cleaning
- Aluminium & vinyl surfaces: protected from salt & UV
- Full decontamination & prep included
- Gelcoat hulls: machine polished & sealed, not coated
Coastal tip: around Warkworth and the coast, salt air works on everything — coatings earn their keep here more than anywhere.
| Ceramic coating | Guide | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Cars | Paint prep & full decontamination · approx. 6 hrs | From $500–$1,000 |
| Boat glass, frames & tenders | Prep & coating for easy cleaning | POA |
| Aluminium & vinyl surfaces | Coated & protected against salt & UV | $75–$100 / foot |
| Gelcoat hulls | Not ceramic coated — machine polished & sealed instead | See polishing |
Final pricing is confirmed with your booking — every boat and car is a bit different. No surprises: we confirm before we start.
Property detailing
The same detail-obsessed standard we bring to boats and cars — now for your property. From exterior surfaces to the finer touches around the place, we help it present at its best.
Every property is a little different, so we price it after a quick chat about what you're after. Get in touch and we'll sort it.
Common questions
It depends on size and condition — a car detail is typically a half day, boats and ceramic coatings can be a full day. We confirm timing when you book.
With sensible maintenance, quality coatings protect for years rather than months. Regular gentle washes keep the hydrophobic layer performing — and we can set you up with the right aftercare routine.
Handy but not essential — let us know what's available at your place, marina or ramp when you book and we'll come prepared.
Hull yeah — that's the whole idea. Book them together and we'll sort a time that covers both.
