Our Most Popular Entry-Level Refresh

Our Wash & Shine Package is the perfect starting point for boat owners looking to restore surface brilliance and protect their vessel for the season — without committing to a full restoration. This package includes a deep, professional-grade wash followed by a premium polish and wax to leave your boat gleaming from bow to stern.

Service Includes:

• Thorough Wash Down using a high-foam cannon, marine-safe degreasers, and pH-balanced boat soap to eliminate buildup, salt, grime, and oxidation.

• Machine Polish with Starke Elevate, a medium-cut compound that safely removes light oxidation, surface haze, and minor imperfections — restoring gloss and clarity.

• Protective Finish with Starke Marine Wax, a high-performance wax designed to lock in shine and defend against sun, salt, and water exposure.

Optional Upgrade:

• Add Starke Hyper Hold Pro SiO₂ Polymer Sealant for long-lasting hydrophobic protection, superior gloss, and increased UV resistance. This ceramic-infused sealant bonds to the surface and extends the life of your finish well beyond traditional wax.

Professional Marine Surface Care That Goes Deeper

At Black Marlin Yacht Care, our Exterior Services offer comprehensive surface correction, protection, and revitalization for every inch of your vessel — from the rub rail to the hull bottom, including engine exteriors and metalwork. Our process is tailored to each boat’s condition and owner’s expectations, whether you need a seasonal refresh or multi-stage oxidation correction.

Our Process Includes:

• Degreasing & Wash Down using marine-safe degreasers and our signature high-lubricity boat soap to remove salt, grime, fuel residue, and buildup from all exterior surfaces.

  • Starke Ignition (Heavy Cut Compound)

  • Starke Revolution (For deeper oxidation and aggressive correction)
