Interior & Brightwork in Palm Beach
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 Palm Beach — at Town of Palm Beach Marina, and private docks in Billionaires Row and Lake Way — for boats and cars. Licensed, bonded and insured; based in West Palm Beach; Palm Beach 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 Palm Beach water and driveways
A boat on the outside face at Town of Palm Beach Marina takes the Lake Worth Lagoon's salt haze straight through the cockpit — it settles on stainless rails, dulls teak, and loads vinyl bolsters with a film that hardens by afternoon. Salt does not need a wet deck to do damage; it only needs air off the lagoon and time. Inland from the marina, a Bentley or Ferrari sits behind a Billionaires Row hedgerow in a closed garage where leather and wood trim hold humidity all summer. Both are the same problem: interiors on this island get used constantly and cleaned occasionally.
We stage through the marina office or a household manager, whichever the owner prefers, and start early so upholstery conditioner and teak brightener are not flashing off in direct sun. Stainless runs in stages — cut, refine, seal — and the galley, heads, and engine room come last so nothing tracks back through a finished cabin. On limited-production paint and trim we test-spot first and document each step. Cars on Lake Way and Everglades Island are done inside the garage, we clear gate codes and staff schedules ahead of the visit, and nothing is photographed without written permission.
What Palm Beach does to a finish
Hyper-rare vehicle protocols
Limited-production paint and materials get conservative, test-spot-first methods and full documentation. We treat a seven-figure car like the irreplaceable object it is.
Lagoon-kept yachts
The Lake Worth Lagoon's salt haze and afternoon sun work on brightwork and dark hulls daily — our island washdown routes counter it weekly.
Household-grade discretion
Staff-coordinated, NDAs signed without ceremony, no photography without written permission. Our best island references are the ones we can't show you.

Interior & Brightwork in Palm Beach — 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.
Will you sign an NDA?
Of course. Confidentiality agreements are routine in our Palm Beach work, and we never photograph or reference a client's property without written permission.
Do you have experience with rare and limited-production vehicles?
Yes. Our correction and coating process is built for exactly this: conservative methods, test spots, measured passes, and documentation — the discipline rare paint demands.
Can you do brightwork and interior work while the boat stays in its slip at Town of Palm Beach Marina?
Yes. Polishing stainless, conditioning vinyl, and brightening teak are all dockside work — no haul-out and no yard time. We coordinate with the marina office for access, keep the job contained so neighboring slips are undisturbed, and schedule teak for cooler hours so the deck is never worked hot.
Our cars sit in a closed garage near Worth Avenue and rarely move. Does the interior still need attention?
Yes. A sealed garage this close to the Lake Worth Lagoon holds humidity, and leather, wood, and wool carpet absorb it whether the car is driven or not. We work on a set cadence with conservative chemistry, test-spotting anything unfamiliar on limited-production materials before it touches a visible surface.
