Bass boat detailing on Lake Ouachita

Arkansas is bass country, and metal-flake gelcoat is what makes a bass boat pop or look tired. We restore the sparkle and protect it from the sun.

Compound & Wax: est. $18-28 /ftCeramic Coating: est. $45-90 /ft

The flake is the whole point

Metal-flake gelcoat shows oxidation before anything else on the boat. When the flake stops flashing in the sun, the top layer has chalked, and a cut-and-polish is what brings it back.

A compound & wax runs est. $18-28 /ft; a 20-foot bass boat lands around $360-560. Ceramic at est. $45-90 /ft keeps the flake bright for seasons and makes ramp-day wipe-downs easy.

What we watch for on a bass boat

Will detailing bring back the metal-flake sparkle?

Yes, that is the point of correction on a bass boat. The cut removes the dull oxidized layer so the flake flashes again, then wax or ceramic locks it in.

Is ceramic worth it on a bass boat?

For a boat that gets shown off at the ramp, yes. Ceramic keeps the flake glossy and slows the sun fade, so you are not compounding every season.

Bass boats are trailered. Do you still come to me?

Yes. We detail at your home, storage or the ramp area. A trailered boat is the easiest kind for us to work on.
