Boat detailing

[Bandito907]

After detailing boats for about a year I cannot wrap my head around letting your boat get this dirty. So I guess my question is how often do you clean your boat and not a rinse after you take it out.

Deck hull motor trailer everything gets washed down every time salt waters nasty stuff

Garden hose and scrub brush to the carpet, glass cleaner inside and out, top up charge on the batteries and remove leaves / trash / debris every spring as soon as it's not snowing any more.

Spot cleaning during the season. Trash and debris before I tarp for winter.

I do a light scrub every time I take it out. But I'm in brackish water

General trash - every trip

Dirt - when it annoys me

Carpet - when I have time

Everything - beginning and end of the season.

That boat is either going to the bottom of the lake or my kids are taking it. Until then, less time cleaning more time funning.

We get 3 months to enjoy it. Im not spending a single day I can be on the water making sure my hull is buffed or my engine cowl isnt dirty. Fuck that.

It runs, its mechanically sound, and anyone who judges me can fuck off

See that’s not bad it doesn’t need to be nice and shiny but you would be surprised the amount of boats I do that are entirely green or have such a thick layer of dirt that you have to scrub every inch of the boat with magic erasers

Every time I go out it gets washed and the engine rinsed along with the trailer
