Welcome to Boat Detailing of Orange County where you are just a phone call away from customized mobile boat detailing services here in Orange County, CA.
Similar to RV owners, boat owners have as many unique requests and needs as the many types of boats themselves! Most boat detailing consists of a "buffet line" approach of picking and choosing; lots of that, a little of this, and a little of that over there! Whether your boat has the privilege of being stored indoors and simply needs regular maintenance detailing, or your boat has become oxidized and needs professional fiberglass oxidation removal, we come with over 20+ years of professional boat detailing experience.
Boat Detailing of Orange County
Your choice in experience!
Just because a guy can detail a car, does not make him qualified to detail your boat. Car paint is not gel coat, just as car interiors are not boat interiors. The methods of polishing and waxing are different for boats than they are for cars. Just as the methods used to clean and shampoo car interiors will prove mostly ineffective for the levels of dirt that are often part of the boat detailing experience. Follow along as I help you become an informed and educated boat owner, and help you decide if Auto Fetish Detail is the right fit for your choice in boat detailing of Orange County!
Boat Polishing and Waxing
While most car care products will perform adequate results on boats, specialized products and techniques can provide a much higher level of results. The industry has no shortage of misinformed and inexperienced car detailers that are more than happy to provide you with marginal results. But if you are looking for candid and open communication to assess the best and most appropriate boat detailing services, you have come to the right place. From complete fiberglass oxidation removal jobs, to simply the best in boat waxing, we are here to help you not only get the results you are looking for, but become an informed boat owner and consumer in the process.
Interior Boat Cleaning and Detailing of Orange County
Boat Detailing of Orange County has the experience to achieve maximum results when it comes to the cleaning and detailing of your boats interiors. Traditional methods and products used to clean car interiors, provide only marginal results when it comes to the deep grime often found within boat interiors. This picture to the right illustrates the difference in results. This boat interior has been cleaned using traditional car cleaning techniques on the one half, and using superior boat cleaning techniques on the other half; can you see a difference?
The Many Variables of Boat Detailing and Cleaning
Just as there are unlimited configurations when it comes to boats, boat owners come with just as many unique needs and wants. Boat detailing of Orange County will help you decide the level of service you require that is appropriate for you and your world.
As a general rule, we remove each removable piece of seating for complete cleaning of individual piece itself, as well as underneath seating and any storage compartments. But you as the boat owner may not require this level of comprehensive boat detailing.
Whether
we are talking car detailing or boat detailing, detailing is all about
the details.
Not only does professional level results require professional products and techniques, but higher levels of patience in order to get the details right! From the cup holders to the many individual compartments, Auto Fetish Detail also brings higher levels of patience to see the job through to completion.
Boat Detailing of Orange County
We have learned through years of experience, that not everyone is going to place a value on the same things. As mentioned before, boat detailing often means configuring services based on specifics of you as a person, the type of boat, along with the condition of your boat. Itemizing your boat detailing service based on needs and wants is a necessary and a much appreciated approach for most boat owners.
- Does your boat simply need washing and waxing?
- Is your gel coat in need polishing before it can be waxed?
- Is your boat stored indoors and needs basic detail services?
- Is your boat coming back from a week at "The River" and you are looking for "house keeping" services along with detailing services.
- Does your ski and wake-board tower need polishing while the rest of your boat simply waxing?
As you can see, the process can become "detailed" quickly when deciding on the appropriate boat detailing services you require. See our boat detailing of Orange County price list below for help in determining a good starting point when considering hiring us for mobile boat detailing service.
Boat Detailing of Orange County Price List:
Use the following boat detail pricing as a guideline. Ultimately, services will be priced based on the condition of your boat and the level of detail perfection your expectations require.
General Boat Detailing
$10.00 - $15.00 per foot
Once again, boats represent many variables with regards to condition and construction configurations. For example, a closed bow versus an open bow boat is one of many variables, just as a deep-V hull versus a low hull ski-boat.
- Washing of boat and trailer.Clay bar gel coat.Application of marine grade sealant to boat, trailer, out-drive.Complete shampooing of interior seating, underneath seating, carpeting, vacuuming including all storage bins.Detailing dash components including gauges and surrounding gel coat.Cleaning of wheels.Dressing trailer tires.
Fiberglass Boat Scratch and Rub-Mark Removal
Most boats have their share of miscellaneous scratches and transfer marks from docks, fender/bumper guards, other boats, etc. We can do much to remove these various forms of scratches and transfer marks during the boat detailing process. This is where experience really helps in determining the best solution based on the specifics of the moment. Many inexperienced car detailers will simply take an aggressive compound to your boat, along with a high-speed buffer as a fix-all solution. Many times more mild forms of treatment can be a better alternative. Experience will dictate the best solution based on both effective and efficient techniques and product choice. This can be added to your boat detailing requests and will be priced fairly based on specifics of you and your boat.
Fiberglass/Gel Coat Polishing Restoration
This is an area that can complicate things quickly when trying to price. You can figure an additional charge of $85.00 per hour if oxidation removal is necessary. Usually we price separately as many customers request limited areas of oxidation removal in conjunction with normal detailing of boat. An additional $150-$350.00 is normal for many boat owners looking to rejuvenate the top surfaces of their boat through polishing. Of course boats come in so many lengths and configurations so these are merely examples based on many years of experience.
Misc. Boat Detail Pricing
The following are additional charges to be added to basic boat detail pricing:
- Engine Detailing
- Decal removal
- Outdrive detailing
- Water spot/scum removal
- Polishing prop
- Excessive dirt in the interior

Darren took my 9 year old Acura MDX and made it spectacular! I believe his knowledge and attention to "detail" goes above and beyond!
Thank you!

I'm somewhat of a car nut. Always have been and I don't mind it a bit. I also thought I had the very best detailer out there but boy did I blow that one. My son insisted I try Darren at Auto Fetish and I succumbed to the pressure and did. I did not realize what perfection looked like until Darren announced my car was completed. The depth of the shine, the attention to detail and the thoroughness of the work were well beyond any past experience. No question Darren really takes his work seriously and the customer reaps an enormous benefit. If you take pride in your wheels, Darren's the man!!

Darren - Thank you for an honest quote over the phone, early arrival, and most importantly an outstanding detail job which restored my car back to excellent condition. The paint touch up looks great and my leather seats are super clean and sport a "new" conditioned look. Keep up the good work!

Darren - I appreciate your work even more as I see it day after day! even though I live in Northern California, there was nobody I felt right about in my area so I knew I was in for a drive to come down to you. I am so glad I did. You were also so very accommodating!

Wow! Our RV looks amazing! That front end literally glows. Darren, I am more than happy; really! Our RV did not look that good the day we got it brand new. No seriously Darren, it really didn't look this good! Thank you!

Darren - I just got a call from my mom and she is really, really happy with her car! This is the reason I referred you as you are professional in all you do, so thank you. That car means more to her than her children; you have a customer for life!
Thank you again!

Darren - the scratch you fixed on my Mustang Cobra looks really, really good! Unless you are a professional car buyer you would not even notice it. It looks so much better than before; thank you!

I spent considerable time looking for the right person to detail my 2007 Porsche Cayman-S (Black). I was impressed with the recommendations and accolades Darren received on his website including the samples of cars he had detailed. I was even more delighted after he finished detailing my car. It looked amazing; inside, outside, the wheels, everything. I will be using Darren for my detailing needs and will recommend him to the folks in my Porsche club.

I have been using Darren’s professional detail services, Auto Fetish Detail, for close to 15 years now and continue to do so. Darren has taught me and my staff just what real detailing is. Darren is incredibly meticulous and attentive to details. Whenever I have a customer who demands the best, I tell them to call Darren at Auto Fetish. I can always tell when Darren has detailed a car because the level of quality is like no other! He is not the cheapest guy in town, but you can’t beat the quality!

If you are in need of someone who will take their time but most importantly bring over 20 years of hands on knowledge, this is the company for you.

"I took a leap of faith by picking someone on the Internet to detail my bosses boat! I wasn't disappointed! Darren was professional, punctual, and very easy to deal with, and best of all, he did a FANTASTIC JOB! I couldn't have been happier. We will definitely be a repeat customer!!"

"We have seen the work of other detailers in removing various forms of vinyl car decals and vehicle wraps. Often we have to spend additional hours due to the incomplete removal of old graphics, before we can apply new graphics. Save yourself time and aggravation by calling Darren first and have it done right the first time around; this is the way it should be done!"
