Marine · Recurring care

A care routine for the way you use your boat.

Regular cosmetic upkeep keeps your vessel presentable between outings — not mechanical vessel management. GarageWash coordinates a recurring wash routine in Sydney and Melbourne, scoped to your vessel, access and usage.

Why routine care helps presentation

Salt, sun and storage exposure build up quickly. A regular wash routine keeps agreed accessible surfaces tidy and makes seasonal protection more effective. It's cosmetic upkeep — engine starts, system checks, antifouling and annual restoration are not part of a maintenance wash.

Choose a frequency

Each programme is quote-only. Pricing reflects the supplier cost per visit plus coordination — no automatic discount percentages are applied.

Monthly Care

Vessels used regularly and kept in the water or on a trailer between outings.

  • Agreed accessible exterior wash
  • Salt and grime removal from hull above waterline
  • Deck and cockpit wipe-down
  • Accessible glass cleaned

Initial reset assessed and quoted separately if the vessel needs deeper first-time cleaning.

Fortnightly Care

Boats in frequent use or higher-exposure storage where presentation matters more often.

  • Cockpit and seating refresh
  • Brightwork wipe where agreed
  • Accessible glass cleaned

High-use vessels or charter-style presentation requirements, subject to provider capacity.

  • Glass and brightwork attention
  • Ongoing presentation upkeep

Tailored quote

Four-weekly and monthly are not the same frequency. Any billing amount specifies how many visits it includes and any term or renewal.

Included accessible surfaces

Routine wash visits cover agreed accessible surfaces. Roofs, awnings, solar panels, decals and seals are assessed before inclusion.

  • Hull above waterline
  • Topsides and deck
  • Non-skid
  • Cockpit and seating
  • Accessible glass
  • Stainless and brightwork (wipe)

Onboarding and access

We start with a vessel assessment: size and unit, location type, desired frequency, usage and current condition. Access, weather and site permission are planned so visits can be completed safely. Provider continuity and support are coordinated by GarageWash.

GarageWash manages your enquiry and payment. Your allocated detailing provider completes the agreed work.
