Interior & Brightwork in Hollywood

Cabin interiors, marine vinyl, teak, stainless and polished metals, engine rooms — and full automotive interiors — finished to the same standard as the hull.

Zea Detailing provides mobile interior & brightwork detailing in Hollywood & Hallandale Beach — at Loggerhead Marina Hollywood, Hollywood Marina, Diplomat Landing Marina, and private docks in Hollywood Lakes and Harbor Islands — for boats and cars. Licensed, bonded and insured; based in West Palm Beach; Broward County.

What it is: Interior and brightwork detailing covers everything aboard that isn't the hull: upholstery and vinyl deep-cleaned and UV-conditioned, teak cleaned and brightened, stainless rails and hardware machine-polished to a mirror, and engine rooms degreased back to white. For cars, it means leather, carpets, and trim brought back to showroom condition.

Interior & Brightwork on Hollywood water and driveways

A Golden Isles canal dock keeps a boat in the water and in full sun all year, with no cover and no rotation. The vinyl on a Contender leaning post goes stiff, teak covering boards gray out, and stainless rails tea-stain from salt picked up idling for the Hallandale Beach Boulevard and Sheridan Street bridges. Interior work here runs in stages: a neutralizing wash first, vinyl cleaned and UV-conditioned rather than scrubbed, teak brightened with a two-part and flushed heavy, then rails and hardware machine-polished and sealed so the next salt cycle sits on the surface instead of biting into the grain.

Access drives the schedule. Loggerhead Marina Hollywood sits behind the Harbor Islands gate, and Diplomat Landing Marina and the Hallandale Beach City Marina run dockmasters, so we file insurance certificates and clear vendor registration before the truck moves. On Hollywood Lakes docks along North Lake and South Lake we work off the seawall with our own water and power. Garage cars in Three Islands and North Beach run the same way, registered at the desk and pulled into a corner space. Cabins and heads get done early while it is cool, brightwork and the engine room after.

What Hollywood does to a finish

Bridge-schedule salt cycles

Hallandale Beach Boulevard and Sheridan Street bridges open on the quarter hour, so runs to Haulover or Port Everglades mean time idling in the ICW. Salt sits. Weekly washdowns reset it.

Deep-canal estate dockage

Golden Isles and Hollywood Lakes boats live in-water, full sun, year-round. UV can chalk unprotected gelcoat in a season — ceramic coating plus a maintenance cadence is the program here.

Marina and condo access

Loggerhead sits behind the Harbor Islands gate; Diplomat Landing and the Hallandale Beach City Marina run dockmasters and gated entry. We carry the insurance certificates and handle vendor registration ourselves.

Interior & Brightwork in Hollywood — FAQ

Good questions

Do you detail engine rooms?

Yes — engine room and bilge detailing is one of our signature services. A clean, white engine room isn't vanity: it makes leaks visible early, survey days easier, and resale conversations shorter.

Can you remove mildew from marine vinyl?

In most cases, yes — and more importantly we treat and condition the vinyl afterward so it resists coming back. Long-neglected stitching can be permanently stained; we'll tell you honestly what will and won't come out.

Do you service boats at Loggerhead Marina in Harbor Islands?

Yes. Loggerhead Marina Hollywood sits inside the Harbor Islands gate, so we handle the community's vendor registration ourselves, carry the insurance certificates the marina requires, and coordinate slip access with the dockmaster — whether your boat is 25 feet or 100.

Can you work at Diplomat Landing or the Hallandale Beach City Marina?

Yes. Diplomat Landing sits on the Hollywood side of the city line and the City Marina just south on Three Islands Boulevard, and we cover both — mega-yachts and sportfish at Diplomat Landing, center consoles and cruisers at the City Marina. We coordinate with each dockmaster and work around the marina's schedule.

Why do the stainless rails on our Hollywood Lakes boat stain faster than everything else aboard?

Salt loads during bridge waits in the Intracoastal and dries in the grain of the metal, where wash soap never reaches it. Machine polishing cuts the staining out, a sealant slows its return, and a regular washdown keeps the next cycle from setting. Bare rails through a Broward County summer need more polishing time.

Can you do a full car interior in a Three Islands or North Beach condo garage where vendors cannot use water?

Yes. Interior work is extraction and hand chemistry, not hose work, so leather, carpets, headliner and trim get done in the space. We bring our own power, register at the front desk, and stage in one spot so the deck stays clear for residents.
