Interior & Brightwork in Wellington
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 Wellington & Royal Palm Beach — at your home in Palm Beach Polo & Country Club, Palm Beach Point, Grand Prix Village — 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 Wellington water and driveways
A G-Wagon that shuttles between a barn at Palm Beach Point and the schooling rings at Wellington International carries the season inside it: shell-rock dust ground into the driver's sill, arena grit down in the carpet pile, boot polish and fly spray on the leather, hay in the seat tracks. We pull the mats, extract the carpets, then clean and condition the leather in stages rather than soaking it. Dust here is abrasive, so it gets lifted with soft brushes and vacuum before anything wet touches a panel, and vents and switchgear are worked by hand.
Most of this happens in a garage or a barn aisle, so we clear the gate list at Palm Beach Polo & Country Club or Grand Prix Village and arrive self-contained on our own power and water. Interiors get the morning, before afternoon humidity works against conditioner and leather. On a trailered Boston Whaler or Contender sitting in a Loxahatchee Groves driveway, cushions come out, vinyl is deep-cleaned and UV-conditioned, teak is brightened, and rails and hardtop hardware are machine-polished where salt has started tea-staining the welds. Before spring transport we go through the cars once more, so nothing ships north with grit in the carpet.
What Wellington does to a finish
Season-compressed schedules
Households arrive in January with a full garage and leave in spring as WEF wraps and polo winds down. We coat and correct on arrival, maintain through the season, and prep for transport home.
Arena dust & shell-rock grit
Farm drives and showground lots throw fine abrasive dust that scratches when wiped dry. Proper wash method and a coated surface keep swirl marks off dark paint.
Trailered boats, inland
Royal Palm Beach and Loxahatchee boats live on trailers between weekend runs to the coast. Salt still sits in every seam. We wash, decontaminate, and coat them in the driveway, tow rig included.

Interior & Brightwork in Wellington — 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 work inside Palm Beach Polo, Palm Beach Point, and Grand Prix Village?
Yes. We're licensed and insured, we handle gate and vendor registration, and we coordinate with house managers and barn staff so a visit never interrupts a training schedule.
Can you ceramic coat a car that's only in Wellington for the season?
Yes, and it's good timing. A coating applied in January protects through a season of arena dust and sun, then holds up through transport home. We keep it maintained on a bi-weekly or monthly schedule while you're here.
Can you work inside a gated barn or garage during show season?
Yes. We schedule through the barn or property manager and get on the gate list at Palm Beach Polo & Country Club, Palm Beach Point or Grand Prix Village before the day. We run off our own power and water, so a shaded aisle or a driveway is enough.
Our interiors collect arena dust and hay all season. Is one detail enough?
Usually not. The arrival detail resets leather, carpet and trim; we then run lighter interior maintenance through the Winter Equestrian Festival and polo season, and a final pass before the cars are trailered home. Dry-wiping dust between visits is what puts scratches into gloss trim.
