Marine Detailing That Comes to Your Slip

Crystal Gloss Auto Detail provides mobile detailing across Vancouver and Metro Vancouver, including full-service marine and boat detailing for recreational and light-commercial vessels. We service boats at marinas, docks, boathouses, driveways, and dry storage yards, arriving fully self-contained with our own water and all equipment. Every visit uses marine-safe, biodegradable products with minimal runoff, so we can work at the most environmentally sensitive marinas. Whether you need a pre-season gelcoat polish, a monthly maintenance wash, or a full interior and exterior restoration before selling, we handle it at your vessel.

Why Choose Us

Why Vancouver Boat Owners Choose Crystal Gloss Auto Detail

anchor

We Come to Your Slip

Marina, dock, boathouse, driveway, or dry storage: we come to wherever your boat lives. No haul-out or transport needed. We coordinate slip access and handle everything at your vessel.

water_drop

Fully Self-Contained

We arrive with our own water supply and every tool the job needs. No asking the yard for hose connections. Just access to your vessel and we handle the rest.

shield

Protects Gelcoat From UV, Salt & Oxidation

Vancouver's UV exposure and saltwater accelerate gelcoat degradation. Regular waxing prevents the oxidation, chalking, and fading that makes expensive restoration work necessary. Protect your investment and your resale value.

eco

Marina-Friendly & Eco-Safe

We use marine-safe, biodegradable products with minimal water runoff, compliant with the wash-down rules most marinas enforce. We work responsibly on docks without contaminating the surrounding water.

groups

Consistent, Dedicated Technicians

The same crew services your vessel every visit. They learn your boat's surfaces, quirks, and priority areas, so quality is consistent and you're not briefing someone new each time.

Seasonal Care

Boat Detailing for Every Season on the Water

wb_sunny

Spring Launch Prep

Winter storage leaves behind mildew, grime, and surface oxidation. We clean and polish the hull, remove any mold or mildew from canvas and upholstery, and apply a fresh coat of marine wax before your first day on the water, so launch day looks as good as it feels.

sailing

In-Season Maintenance Washes

Seabird droppings, salt spray, algae, and fuel residue all etch into gelcoat over a Vancouver summer. Bi-weekly or monthly washes prevent that buildup from becoming a restoration job. We schedule around your boating calendar so your vessel is always ready to go.

ac_unit

Fall Haul-Out & Winterization Clean

A deep clean before winter storage makes spring startup dramatically easier. We remove salt, oxidation, and biological growth before they sit on your hull for months, clean and treat all interior surfaces to prevent mildew, and leave your vessel in the best possible condition for the layup.

sell

Pre-Sale Detailing

Clean, glossy boats photograph better, show better, and hold asking price. A full detail before listing signals to buyers that the vessel has been maintained, not just prepared for sale. We restore the look that makes the listing photos compelling and the in-person showing even better.

FAQ

Boat Detailing FAQ

Yes. We come to you. Crystal Gloss is fully mobile — we arrive with our own water supply and all equipment, and we service boats at marinas, docks, boathouses, driveways, and dry storage yards across Vancouver and Metro Vancouver. No haul-out or transport needed. All we ask for on-site is a standard 120V power outlet within reach.

Yes. We use professional-grade machine polishing to restore shine to chalky, oxidized gelcoat. Light oxidation is typically removed in one pass; heavy oxidation is assessed on-site and may require a multi-stage correction. We'll give you an honest assessment before starting any work.

Yes. We use marine-safe, biodegradable cleaning products with minimal water runoff, compliant with typical marina wash-down rules. We work responsibly on docks and take care to protect the surrounding water. If your marina has specific restrictions, let us know and we'll confirm compatibility.

In Vancouver's Pacific Northwest climate, we recommend waxing 2–3 times per season and washing monthly during the boating season. UV exposure, saltwater, rain, and seabird droppings accelerate gelcoat degradation. Regular maintenance prevents the costly oxidation removal that neglect requires.

Yes. We offer spring launch prep, bi-weekly and monthly in-season wash programs, and fall haul-out cleans. Recurring clients get consistent scheduling, the same crew each visit, and one simple monthly invoice. Contact us to build a plan around your vessel and season.
