Lake Wylie is our home water. We detail boats right where they sit — at your dock, on the lift, or on the trailer in your driveway — with our own water tank and generator.
You know the routine: a great Saturday on the water, then a boat that comes back with film on the hull and footprints on the vinyl. Hauling it somewhere to get cleaned eats the weekend you bought the boat for.
Lake Wylie Detailing is a mobile, family-run company based right here. Our boat detailing service is built around the Marine Full Refresh — a complete interior and exterior cleaning done wherever your boat lives.
A well-timed detail does more than a random one. Here's how we think about the lake's calendar:
Carolina pollen settles on everything in spring, and a boat sitting under a cover or a dock roof collects it in the seams and on the seats. A detail before your first big outing clears the yellow film and any winter mildew spots so you start the season clean instead of scrubbing at the ramp.
By mid-summer, sunscreen, spilled drinks, lake film, and bird droppings have had weeks to bake on in the heat. A mid-season refresh keeps grime from setting in and makes the boat pleasant again for the second half of summer.
Humidity plus a covered, damp boat is how mildew gets started. Cleaning it before it's covered or stored means you don't open it up next spring to a mess that's had months to settle in.
Our Lake Wylie boat season detailing guide walks through a fuller start, middle, and end-of-season checklist.
Because we carry our own water and generator, we don't need a spigot or an outlet on your dock. When you book, just tell us:
Plenty of Lake Wylie boaters don't have a private dock and trailer to a public ramp like the Buster Boyd Access Area by the Hwy 49 bridge or one of the four ramps at Allison Creek Park. If that's you, we can detail the boat on the trailer at home, so it's ready the next time you launch.
Keep your boat at a marina? Many marinas have their own rules about outside vendors, and some offer their own cleaning. Please check with your marina first — we're an independent company, we don't have arrangements with any marina, and we only work where we're allowed.
| Service | What it is | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Marine Full Refresh | Complete interior and exterior boat cleaning at your home, dock, or marina (where the marina allows outside vendors). | From $399 |
Pricing can vary by size and condition — we confirm your quote before we start.
Running a pontoon? See our pontoon boat cleaning page for what to expect on vinyl seating, carpet, and aluminum.
Boat and car in the same driveway? Many Lake Wylie customers pair the boat with a car detail. See our mobile detailing in Lake Wylie page for vehicle packages.
We come to your dock, lift, or driveway anywhere around Lake Wylie — nothing to haul.
We bring a water tank and generator, so no hose or outlet is needed.
Lake Wylie Detailing is family-run by Chris, a local owner-operator. We're insured and book one job at a time.
Real prices are published. If size or condition changes the price, we confirm your quote before we start.
No. We bring our own water tank and generator, so the job doesn't depend on what's available at your dock or driveway.
Only where the marina allows outside vendors. We're independent and have no arrangements with any marina, so please check your marina's policy before booking and let us know what they require.
Spring before your first outing, mid-summer after the busiest weekends, and fall before the boat is covered or stored are the three points that tend to make the most difference. We book one job at a time, so reaching out ahead of the weekend you have in mind is smart.
We'll clean thoroughly and tell you honestly what we see. Some mildew staining and heavy oxidation go deeper than cleaning can reach, so we can't guarantee full removal. If something needs more than a Marine Full Refresh, we'll talk it through and quote it before starting.
It depends on the boat's size, its condition, and the scope of work. We give you a time estimate when you book.
Book your Marine Full Refresh online, or call or text Chris with your boat's size and where it's kept.
