Boats cop it hard. Waterline staining, oxidised gelcoat, green hull growth, sun-bleached decking — it all adds up. Northern Auto Detailing offers mobile boat detailing across Adelaide and South Australia, coming to your marina, yard, or driveway so you don't have to load up the trailer. We handle everything from full hull cleans to cut-and-polish and interior detailing. Based in Roseworthy, we cover a 2.5-hour radius and we know our way around a boat.

Boat hull cleaning — targeted treatment for algae, barnacle residue, and heavy below-waterline buildup
Gelcoat oxidation treatment — cuts back chalky, faded gelcoat to restore depth and shine
Cut and machine polish — removes scratches and surface defects; finishes with a showroom-level gloss
Protective sealant or wax — seals the restored surface against water, UV, and contamination

Pricing depends on the size of the boat, its condition, and what's needed. A basic hull wash and polish starts from $495. Full detail with gelcoat correction and ceramic coating on a larger vessel is quoted on assessment. Call Noel with the details and he'll give you a straight answer.
Gelcoat oxidation is the chalky, dull, faded appearance that develops on fibreglass hulls from UV exposure. Yes, it can be fixed. We use a machine polishing process to cut back the oxidised layer and restore the original depth and gloss. For heavy oxidation, multi-stage correction gets the best results.
For a full hull clean and polish, yes — the boat needs to be out of the water or at a dry marina. For topsides, deck, and interior work, we can work on it in the water at a marina berth. Let Noel know the situation and he'll advise what's practical.
