Keep Your Boat Clean and Protected
Boats face some of the harshest conditions out there. Between saltwater, UV rays, and grime buildup, it doesn’t take long for your boat to lose its shine or even start breaking down. That is where VIP Mobile Detail comes in. We help boat owners in Galveston keep their vessels clean, protected, and ready to go.
Neglecting routine maintenance can lead to oxidation, water staining, mold, and more. These issues creep in slowly and eventually cause long-term damage—not to mention reduce your boat’s visual appeal. That is why regular detailing is more than just cosmetic. It plays a key role in keeping your investment in top condition.
We make boat care easy. Since we’re mobile, there is no need to haul your vessel anywhere. Whether it is stored at a marina, on a trailer in your driveway, or tucked away in a storage facility, we come to you with everything needed to do the job right. No trailers. No downtime. No stress.
Boat detailing is a labor-intensive task. The interior alone can take hours, especially with tight spaces, compartments, and various surfaces to clean. Vinyl, upholstery, and trim need proper care to prevent cracking or mildew. On the outside, things like fiberglass, painted finishes, and metal accents need the right polish and protection.
If your boat spends a lot of time in saltwater, it’s even more important to stay ahead of wear and tear. A proper ceramic coating on exterior surfaces or marine-grade protectant on seating makes future cleanings much easier and helps extend the lifespan of your finish.
Complete Interior and Exterior Boat Detailing
Our detailing services for boats are just as thorough as they are for vehicles. We restore faded gel coat surfaces, polish oxidation, and deep clean every inch of your vessel.
Gel coat restoration, in particular, often requires more aggressive polishing to cut through oxidation and bring back the gloss. This level of work can take several hours or more, depending on how far gone the surface is—but the results speak for themselves.
To give your boat long-term protection, we recommend a ceramic coating. It repels water, salt, and grime, which means less time scrubbing and more time on the water. It also protects against sun damage and fading, which is especially important around Galveston where the sun is always beating down.
We Detail Cars, Motorcycles, and RVs Too
While boat detailing is a big part of what we do, it is not all we offer. VIP Mobile Detail also provides expert services for cars, motorcycles, and RVs.
​
Swirl marks, oxidation, and surface scratches can dull your vehicle’s paint. Our paint correction process removes these imperfections and brings out a smooth, glossy finish.
Ceramic Coating
Add long-lasting protection and shine. Ceramic coatings are hydrophobic, resist dirt and grime, and make washing much easier. They also add depth and gloss that lasts for years.
RVs see a lot of action—and even more wear. From bug splatter to grime from long trips, we’ll clean and protect your RV’s finish to keep it looking road-trip ready.
Clear up those yellowed or foggy headlights. Better visibility and a cleaner look are achieved after we sand, polish, and protect them.
Selling your car? Or just want the engine to look as good as the outside? We safely clean and dress the engine bay so everything looks showroom-ready.
A seasonal favorite. We perform a full wash, remove iron deposits and contaminants, clay bar the paint, and finish with a high-gloss sealant.
Galveston gets hot—really hot. Reduce heat, boost privacy, and protect your interior with high-quality ceramic window tint.

Interior Detail
Turn your car's interior from dirty to clean with our deep interior cleaning. We clean the fabric, leather, and plastic surfaces.
​
Odor Removal
Does your car's interior have an odor to it? This can happen from pets, food, smoke, or anything else. We target the source of the odor to reduce and remove it, not just mask it.
For vehicles in decent shape that just need a refresher, this includes vacuuming, window cleaning, and a light wipe-down of all interior surfaces.
Perfect for keeping your vehicle looking great week after week. Regular exterior and interior upkeep keeps things clean and fresh year-round.
Time to reset your ride inside and out. We’ll deep clean the interior from top to bottom, then wash and decontaminate the exterior before applying protection—so your car looks sharp and stays that way.

Boat Detailing FAQs
How often should I get my boat detailed?
That depends on how often you use it and where it is stored. If your boat sees regular use in saltwater or stays docked outdoors, detailing two to three times a year is a smart move. At minimum, a full detail once or twice annually helps prevent long-term damage.
​
Do you clean the hull?
Yes, we can clean the hull. We remove algae, scum, and stains from the waterline and below, depending on accessibility.
​
Should I get my boat detailed before storage?
Absolutely. Dirt and salt left on the surface during storage can stain or damage your boat’s finish. A full cleaning and protective treatment beforehand keeps your boat in better shape during the off-season.
​
What payment methods do you take?
We accept cash and major credit cards. Most of our customers prefer to pay by card for convenience. We don’t accept checks.
​
How long does it take to detail a boat?
It depends on its condition, size, and what you’re requesting. A basic exterior wash and wax might only take a couple of hours. On the other hand, correcting oxidation or applying ceramic coatings could take a day or two. We never rush the job—we focus on quality.
​
The same goes for interior detailing. If the cabin is heavily used or stored in a humid environment, deeper cleaning may be needed to get everything up to standard. Compartments, seating, and flooring all require specific attention. We take our time to deliver the best results possible.
