1998 Aquasport Detailing – Smithtown, NY

Detailing this 1998 Aquasport boat in Smithtown was a memorable experience for us. As we first looked at that boat we noticed many deep scratches on the hull’s gel coat. There were many stains on the boat that were present at the time the boat was purchased just weeks ago. The owner started removing the brown marks (which came off completely!) however this procedure was done with a metal pad that’s typically used for cleaning pots and pans in the kitchen. Additionally, the gel coat on this boat was weak causing the scratches to be visible as there was no wax on the boat.

We started with a thorough wash and scrub of the entire boat. There were numerous black streaks that had been set in over the years. We used acetone to remove the marks which also cleaned the fiberglass and brightened it up as well. After washing the boat again to remove any chemicals still present on the fiberglass, we dried the boat down to prepare it for machine waxing.

We applied a coat of Gary’s Royal Satin Marine Wax to protect the fiberglass. As this boat is white in color, our choice to use a carnauba based “cleaner wax” made it appear “whiter” than it ever has before. Also, we were able to hide many of the surface scratches that were on the hull. After removing the wax from the entire boat we finished up by cleaning the glass, protecting and polishing the isinglass, and vacuuming the cabin area. The owner of the boat was very pleased with our results and has graciously invited us back next spring to treat the boat before it gets dropped in the water. Another quality boat detailing job performed by Five Star Detailing in 2009!
