Salt and sun are brutal on gelcoat. We bring full marine detailing to the marina, the dry stack, the trailer or your driveway — and make your boat shine again.
From the Southport Marina and Old Yacht Basin to the St. James marina, South Harbour Village, Oak Island and the Wilmington waterfront, we detail boats wherever they live. Center consoles, bowriders, cruisers, pontoons and sportfish — on the water, on the trailer or in storage.
A coastal boat takes constant salt spray, waterline grime and relentless UV. We clean it up, pull oxidation off the gelcoat, and lock in the shine with a wax, sealant or marine ceramic coating so the next rinse is easy.
Salt spray and waterline scum dull gelcoat and corrode hardware. Left alone it chalks and oxidizes fast in our climate.
Coastal UV fades and oxidizes gelcoat and cracks vinyl seating. A coating keeps it glossy and protected for years.
Waterline scum, spider stains and mildew build up between trips. Regular wash-downs keep them from setting in.
Hand wash, hull and waterline rinse, deck scrub, and a wipe-down of seats and surfaces. Keeps salt, slime and grime from building up between bigger jobs.
Inside and out — deck, cockpit, vinyl seating and storage, plus a full hull wash and a hand wax or sealant to protect the gelcoat.
Machine compounding and polishing that pulls chalky, faded oxidation off gelcoat and brings the shine back, then seals it to slow its return.
High-tier ceramic protection for gelcoat. Years of gloss and hydrophobic defense so salt, scum and UV wipe and rinse off with far less work.

"Alex and his team are pros! Their attention to detail, communication, and precision are amazing. They brought my car back to life — it's vibrant, gorgeous, and I love the protection of my new ceramic coating. Thanks Alex and team!"
"Alex does amazing work! He'll lay out the different options and you pick what you like. He's a professional for sure, knows his stuff — not just some guy that washes cars. Very knowledgeable about paint and finishes. Alex is tip top."
"I had our cars detailed and ceramic coated by Pittman and couldn't be happier. Every inch was meticulously cleaned and the coating gave it a stunning, mirror-like finish — water and dirt just slide right off. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to protect their investment."

Yes. We machine-compound and polish oxidized gelcoat to bring back gloss, then seal or ceramic coat it to hold that finish against sun and salt.
We do. A marine ceramic coating on gelcoat adds serious gloss and makes salt, slime and waterline grime far easier to rinse off all season.
