Marine Detailing
Professional cleaning, polishing, and oxidation removal to restore and protect your boat.
Professional Marine Detailing
Boats are constantly exposed to sun, water, and environmental buildup that can quickly lead to fading, oxidation, and surface damage.
At In and Out Detailing, we offer professional boat detailing services designed to clean, restore, and protect your vessel — whether it needs a routine wash or full oxidation removal.
We tailor every job based on the condition of the boat and the areas being serviced, including topside, hull, or full vessel detailing.
Boat detailing in Kannapolis and the Charlotte area requires the right process to safely clean and restore surfaces exposed to sun, water, and environmental buildup. From routine wash and wax services to full oxidation removal, we provide professional boat detailing tailored to your vessel’s condition.
Customized for Your Vessel
Every boat is different. Services can be tailored to:
Topside only
Hull only
Full vessel detailing
Not every boat needs everything — we’ll recommend the right service based on condition.
