How Our Process Works


The detailing process starts with hull inspection and cleaning, removing waterline stains, algae, and oxidation that accumulate through regular use on West Michigan lakes. Gelcoat polishing follows, restoring the glossy finish sun exposure gradually strips away. Interior surfaces—vinyl seats, carpeting, storage compartments—receive deep cleaning and conditioning to counteract mildew, UV damage, and wear from wet conditions.

AMotive Detailing and Customs uses marine-safe products that won't harm fiberglass, aluminum, or upholstery, ensuring every treatment enhances rather than degrades your boat's materials. Protective sealants are applied to gelcoat and metal hardware, guarding against future oxidation and making maintenance easier between professional sessions.

The result is a vessel that looks sharp at the dock, performs confidently on the water, and withstands Michigan's demanding seasonal cycle without premature aging or costly repairs.
