14+ Years Detailing Boats and RVs

Fresh N' Up Detailing is licensed, insured and rated 4.9 stars across more than 120 Google reviews, with more than 14 years of experience, and we work on boats and RVs, nothing else. Gelcoat, marine vinyl, canvas, clear vinyl windows, rubber RV roofs and RV decals all need different products and techniques from a car, and focusing on them is how we do them well.

Detailing, Polishing and Ceramic Coating

Gelcoat is the hard, coloured outer layer of a fibreglass boat, and it is porous. Years of sun break down its surface into a dull, chalky film; wipe a finger across an oxidized hull and it comes away white or tinted. Coloured gelcoats such as red, blue and black show it soonest, but white hulls yellow and dull too. Wax on its own will not fix it, because the damaged layer is still there underneath.

A marine ceramic coating is a liquid that bonds to gelcoat and cures into a thin, hard, glossy layer. Compared with wax, it lasts much longer, resists UV and chemicals better, and makes the hull slick enough that waterline scum, bird droppings and dirt release with a normal wash instead of scrubbing.

RV Care from Roof to Wheels

An RV is a vehicle and a house in one, and both halves get dirty. Outside, black streaks run down from the roof edges and windows, road grime coats the lower panels and front cap, and bugs bake onto the front end. Inside, kitchens, bathrooms, carpets and upholstery see as much use as a cottage.

Different roofs need different products. Rubber roofs (EPDM and TPO) must be cleaned with non-petroleum, non-citrus cleaners, because the wrong product can damage the membrane. Fibreglass roofs can be cleaned and even polished, and aluminum roofs need a cleaner made for metal. We identify your roof type and use the right products.

Boat & RV Detailing in Toronto & the GTA

Across Toronto, York and Durham, boats sit in driveways, storage compounds and Lake Ontario marinas from Humber Bay to Port Whitby, and thousands of RVs are parked at home between trips north.

Lake Ontario boats usually launch in May and come out in October, and most RVs are on the road from May to October.

Boat & RV Detailing in Halton, Hamilton & Niagara

From the harbours of Oakville, Bronte and Burlington to Hamilton Harbour and the Niagara shoreline, the western end of Lake Ontario is busy with boats all summer, and RVs are parked in driveways and storage yards across the region.

On the western end of Lake Ontario the boating season usually runs from May into October, with a rush of detailing before launch and before winter storage.

Boat & RV Detailing in Lake Simcoe

Lake Simcoe is one of the busiest boating lakes in Ontario, with marinas and cottages from Kempenfelt Bay and Big Bay Point to Cook's Bay, Jackson's Point and Lake Couchiching.

Ice on Lake Simcoe usually keeps boats in storage until late April or May, and haul-out runs from September to October.

Boat & RV Detailing in Georgian Bay

From Collingwood and Wasaga Beach to Midland and Parry Sound, Georgian Bay's harbours and the Thirty Thousand Islands draw cruisers, sailboats and runabouts, and the campgrounds along the bay fill with RVs.

The Georgian Bay season is short: most boats go in from mid-May and are hauled out by mid-October, so spring and fall detailing slots fill quickly.

Boat & RV Detailing in Muskoka

Muskoka's lakes are home to everything from wooden launches and bowriders to large cruisers, many of them kept in boathouses and cottage slips, and the region is a major RV and camping destination.

Muskoka boats typically launch in May and come out in October, and boathouse storage means many need a thorough clean before and after the season.

Boat & RV Detailing in Kawarthas & Haliburton

The Trent–Severn Waterway links the Kawartha lakes through Peterborough, Lindsay, Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls, and the Haliburton Highlands add hundreds more cottage lakes.

Boats on the Kawarthas and in Haliburton usually launch in May and come out by mid-October, with the Trent–Severn locks open from May to October.

Boat & RV Detailing in North Bay & Sudbury

North Bay sits on Lake Nipissing and Sudbury takes in Ramsey Lake and hundreds of other lakes, which makes both cities home to a lot of boats, camping trailers and motorhomes.

Northern lakes stay frozen longer, so the season is shorter: boats usually launch in late May and come out by early October.
