Frequently Asked Questions

Popular Client Questions

The benefits are many. You will receive our services on a discounted basis as opposed to having us perform them one time. It affords Bristol Detail the opportunity to learn and appreciate your boat’s unique requirements going forward, her nuances…her soul. A relationship with us is really a both a partnership and a friendship. We like nothing better than an involved owner who asks questions and shares ideas from product selection to finding the most efficient and cost effective options. We are boat owners, divers and fishermen too!

A sealant is a product that mimics a wax’s characteristics, but provide a much higher durability than wax. They resist heat, UV rays, environmental contaminants & harsh detergents much better than wax. Our waxes and sealants are all polymers meaning they are made from synthetic materials rather than organic ingredients. A wax typically lasts 2-3 months and a sealant lasts 4-6 months.

Yes, along with a great crew when needed.
Bristol Detail recommends waxing the entire boat 4 times per year. Dullness and shine loss will be more on topside as it receives most of the daily sun. Therefore, we recommend waxing your topside more often than your hull. The darker the color, the more often it should be waxed.
Detailing involves the application of several procedures to maintain and protect the unique and various components and surfaces of any boat. A typical exterior detail and wax will include:
  • Initial wash using surface appropriate soap, brushes and hand cloths
  • Deck Scrubbing
  • Chamois and hand towel dry
  • LOTS of buffing
  • One coat of cleaner wax or pure wax
  • Compartment detailing
  • Canvas cleaning and protectant
  • Vinyl cleaning and protectant
  • Metal and polishing and insulator wax
  • Cockpit waxing
  • Rub rails, rubber seals cleaned and dressed
  • Carpets lifted, cleaned and mildew treated
  • Hard glass de-etching followed by a hydrophobic repellant to improve clarity and water sheeting
  • Isinglass and plastic windows are delicately hand cleaned and Plexus protectant applied (optical clarity)
  • Other owner requested services
  • Footprints wiped, final inspection
We do show basic pricing on the Pricing Page, however it is just that, “basic”. The prices listed on our website are for those that “have to have a price” or they won’t call. Every boat is different and it would be unfair to us and unfair to you especially if it will mean paying for services you don’t need. We prefer to first inspect your boat, furnish you with an assessment of her condition, a description of the methods and procedures which should be undertaken and the prices.

We prefer to wax boats on dry land where we can reach the hull on a steady scaffold or ladder and in slips with lower docks (or floating docks) offering access to both sides of the boat without having to turn it, or on your trailer.

If the boat is in the water, we may ask the owner to turn the boat around so that we can detail the other side from a dock.

If your boat is at a marina or boatyard you will merely need to call to advise them we are coming and to place your boat on blocks or supports (shaded area if possible) with access to a hose bib and an electrical outlet. If you live in a gated community then you will need to call the guard or management company and place us on your vendor list. When your boat is on dry land for servicing is ideal to do hull compounding and gelcoat restoration.
