Personal watercraft detailing for Sea-Doo, Yamaha WaveRunner, and Kawasaki — single skis or full family fleets.
Alamo Heights owners with jet skis typically work out of Canyon Lake (45 minutes north). Slip-kept boats at Cypress Bend Marina, Mountain Springs Resort, Cranes Mill Marina. Trailer launches at Cranes Mill Park ramp and Comal Park ramp. Hard mineral water from Comal Springs feed leaves spots if rinses aren't quick.
Service specs · Alamo Heights
Alamo Heights driveways are narrower than the suburbs, but homeowners here invest heavily in their vehicles. Mobile detailing matters because hauling a boat or RV anywhere from 78209 is an exercise. We service driveways throughout Terrell Hills, Olmos Park, and the historic Alamo Heights neighborhoods.
Owner profile. Generational wealth, manicured 1940s-1960s estates, smaller driveways than the suburbs, occasional Class B vans, luxury sport boats trailered seasonally, and a strong owner-pilot fleet at SAT corporate hangars.
Jet skis live a punishing life in Texas summers. They're trailered, launched, ridden hard, pulled back out, and parked in a hot garage or under a canvas cover where they bake until the next weekend. Bumper gelcoat scuffs from dock contact. Footwell carpets shred and stink of lake water. Saddle vinyl rips at the seams from kids jumping on. Engine compartments collect a thin film of fuel, oil, and salt or hard-water residue depending on where you ride. Most owners have two or three skis they want done at once — and most local detailers don't take PWCs because they're awkward to work on. We do them all day.

Yes — Canyon Lake (45 minutes north from Alamo Heights) is one of our core service areas for jet skis. We work slip-kept boats at Cypress Bend Marina and Mountain Springs Resort and ramp-side jobs at Cranes Mill Park ramp. We bring our own water and power.
Yes — most of our PWC customers have two or three skis. Multi-ski bookings get a per-ski discount. We typically do a family fleet of three in 6-8 hours.
Light scuffs we polish out. Medium scuffs we polish and conceal as much as possible. Deep gouges that show fiberglass underneath need a gelcoat filler — we refer those to a local gelcoat repair shop and finish the detail around the repair.
Never. Engine bays on PWCs are tight and full of electronics — ECUs, stators, ignition coils — that don't appreciate water. We wipe down with microfiber and PWC-safe degreaser only. Safe and effective.
Yes — typically 6-12 months on gelcoat with regular freshwater rinses between rides. Ceramic dramatically reduces hard-water spots and makes weekly rinse-and-wipe maintenance trivial.
Yes. Sand grinds into non-skid footwell texture and requires a stiff-bristle brush, flood-rinse, and then a UV-safe protectant. We do this on every PWC detail.
A standard wash, polish, vinyl, and engine wipe starts at $200 per ski. Heavy oxidation, ceramic coating, or scuff polishing pushes to $300-450. Multi-ski packages save $30-50 per ski.
Same care, every job. We come to your Alamo Heights driveway, dock, hangar, or storage site.
