About Blu Water
Travis Banducci has worked in the marine and auto detailing industry for the last 14 years. You may know him and have possibly used his services. The idea of Blu Water has been being developed over the last 10 years and is a certificate of standard to the art of marine care. The idea of Blu is about environmentally aware applications that all licensed companies should adopt and adhere to for the longevity of our water and professional level applications for the consumer. Blu Water certification lets the consumer know that they are dealing with knowledgeable craftsmen that are licensed, insured and will be conscious to the environment when working on your vessels. There are 3 main challenges we have experienced over the last decade in the marine detailing industry and we wanted to address these with new ideas and a game changing approach.
The first was the environment. To address this, Blu certification requires using natural and water based products where applicable. Blu requires using 100% of the highest grade natural cleaners and disinfectants that are hypoallergenic, non toxic and non caustic. This isn't really amazing, it's the world we live in now and should be the standard in all areas of life. Products that won't harm you, your family or your pets. In addition, being Blu certified means we have a close knowledge of EPA laws and will follow all environmental responsibilities when servicing vessels in the water and on land. When petroleum or harsh chemicals are required, and they will be in this industry, we minimize the impact by reclaiming our dirty water, filtering run off and using products that are effective and high grade so we can use less and get a full professional result.
The second is cost. The boating industry is a luxury industry and the cost of properly maintaining a vessel doesn't come with a small price tag. The standard in the detailing industry is getting your boat completely detailed once a year. The challenge with this is that after the boat has been detailed, unless it is maintained every month, it degrades very quickly and leaves your boat that is 1 or 2 months freshly detailed, dirty and needing work. We believe in maintenance! We've developed hundreds of maintenance clients over the years and in the end, your vessel is never in need of major detail work and the price is similar to getting it fully detailed once a year. The Detailors can set up custom packages to meet your needs and you are able to pay on a monthly basis or up-front with a potential prepaid discount for the year. Maintenance is no new discovery either, we just want to promote it as the best method. Just think... No more running down to the docks just before friends or family come to town and rushing through a half hearted clean up to have it decent for your guests. With The Detailors, next time you board your vessel it will be clean, detailed, and ready to shove off. After all, you bought your boat to enjoy, right?
The third is quality. In the industry, new boat owners are constantly trying to save a buck by hiring what we've coined as "Dirty Detailers". Potential clients would tell us that the guy on Craigslist could do it for a fraction of what we bid, and our response is always, "Call us when that doesn't work out, and we will get you up to speed." All experienced boat owners use craftsmen for the work they need done and understand the rule of you get what you pay for. The challenge with "Dirty Detailers" is they are likely uninsured, unaware of environmental laws, unprofessional and usually unlicensed. There will be problems with communication, quality of work, knowledge of product application and even theft. Being Blu certified means we offer our, "Guarantee of end result" and our 30 day warranty with all the work we do. No questions asked. Owning a boat with a Blu certified company is seamless. Go Blu.
