“Unmatched attention to detail and customer service! Dirty Work Detailing will clean your boat so well you’ll be looking for a reason to get it detailed… knock over your kids sippy cup, morning cruise with muddy pups, spray champagne like you won a championship…. It’s like getting a brand new boat, but it’s your boat! Highly recommend, 6 out of 5 stars.”Garrett O'MalleyBoat detailing client

How it works
we come to your dock.
For every detailing package, we bring the pressure washer, hoses and products to your dock, lift or marina slip. No trailering, no waiting at the marina, and no chasing us for a call back.
Restoration is done on land (on your trailer or at our shop location) to keep sanding and compound residue out of the lake.

whoa… that’s a clean boat.
Real photos from boats we’ve detailed and restored. No stock images.
Same boat, same panel
This Chaparral’s blue gelcoat had faded to a chalky, washed-out finish. After our 5-step gelcoat oxidation restoration, the color is deep again and the logo panel reflects like new.
