Boat Wet Sand & Buff - Miami Beach
Precision wet sanding and multi-step machine buffing to remove heavy oxidation, deep scratches, and hard water spots. Fully mobile in Miami Beach — we come to your slip, private dock, or storage yard along Biscayne Bay, Government Cut, and the Miami Beach Marina basin.
Why Miami Beach boats need this.
Miami Beach boats take a full dose of open-ocean salt spray plus intense reflected sun off the bay, which chalks gelcoat and etches stainless quickly if it isn't washed and protected on a schedule.
Wet sanding is a controlled level of the gelcoat surface using fine-grit sandpaper and water as a lubricant. It's the most aggressive correction step available — and when done right, it produces results nothing else can match on badly chalked, etched, or stained hulls.
We run wet sand & buff throughout Miami Beach — Open-ocean running, high-visibility slips, and boats that need to look immaculate every weekend. Our crew arrives fully self-contained with power, water, and marine-grade products, so nothing is asked of your marina or dock.

Miami Beach FAQs
Is wet sanding safe for my gelcoat?
When done by trained hands on healthy gelcoat, yes. We check thickness and adjust grits accordingly — this is a professional-only service for a reason.
How long does the finish last?
With a proper wax seal you'll get 3–6 months of protection. Add a ceramic coating on top and you're looking at 1–5+ years, depending on the product.
Do I need this or just compound?
If a strong compound doesn't restore gloss during a test spot, wet sanding is likely needed. We'll do a free assessment before committing.
