The 2026 Standard
Wax Is Dead.
Marine Ceramic Is the Future.
The Florida sun destroys gelcoat faster than anywhere else on earth. UV radiation, salt air, hard water, and constant heat create a relentless assault on your vessel's finish. Traditional wax offers 60–90 days of protection. Marine marine ceramic offers 12–18 months in full sun, 2–3 years under cover.
As Glidecoat-certified marine detailing professionals, we've moved beyond the annual buff-and-wax cycle. Our multi-stage process — heavy-cut compounding, medium-cut compounding, machine polishing, clay bar decontamination, and professional ceramic application — delivers a mirror finish that is chemically bonded to your hull.
This is the standard that superyacht owners demand. Now available for every vessel in Southwest Florida.

"Are you new to boating? No time to wash your boat? You will be so happy with Complete Boat Detailing. We have used this company for a year. And our boat is stored at Burnt Store Marina in Punta Gorda, FL. Before they clean your boat, they do a thorough inspection and let you know the condition of your boat. They are very professional, on time and do a great job. I highly recommend them!"

“I've had boats detailed all over Southwest Florida. Nobody touches these guys. The gelcoat on my Contender was completely oxidized — chalky white, no depth. After their full restoration it has a mirror finish I haven't seen since the day I bought it. They're the real deal.”

“The marine ceramic coating they applied to my Sea Ray is extraordinary. Water beads off like nothing I've ever seen. Six months in and it still looks like the day they finished. The Florida sun hasn't touched it. Worth every dollar.”
