Boat Cleaning and Waxing Services -- Austin, TX
Boat detailing has become one of the most popular marine services in Austin, TX. Boaters at marinas on Lake Travis and Lake Austin like their watercraft bright and shiny, and the Texas sun and dust can make this a challenge. Fortunately there are dozens of highly competent and experienced boat maintenance and detailing services available in the area; so there are a wide variety of options for sailboat and powerboat owners.
Nearly all boat detailing businesses in Austin now offer mobile detailing services – they can work on your runabout, sailboat or yacht at the marina -- or even on the trailer at your home. Although it’s better to have access to 110v AC power to operate heavy-duty buffers and power washers, some mobile detailers use battery-operated cordless washing and polishing equipment, very handy if your marina does not provide electrical power on the docks.
Whenever using power tools around water, it’s important to think about safety. Most Lake Travis marinas require that boat detailers are insured and only use power tools that are well grounded via 3-way plugs. Obviously it’s more dangerous to detail a boat that’s in the water; it’s generally safer to do power washing, structural repairs, electrical work and other marine services ashore, if possible.
