Auto Detailing & Marine Services in Dubuque, Iowa

River city, bluff country, and serious boat culture โ€” KDR brings elite auto and marine detailing to Dubuque from the Quad Cities. Call or request a quote.

Dubuque is Iowa's river city โ€” historic downtown under the bluffs, a working Mississippi riverfront, and some of the most dedicated boaters in the Midwest. KDR- Kustoms, Detailing & Reconditioning serves Dubuque from our Quad Cities base, and this is one market where our full range shines: show-level auto detailing and paint protection for the cars, plus real marine detailing โ€” gel coat restoration, marine ceramic coatings, and metal polishing โ€” for the boats that live on the river.

River life is beautiful and brutal on finishes. UV, waterline scum, and dock rash age a boat fast without proper care, and the same sun and winter brine punish daily drivers. Our marine detailing covers full washes, gel coat correction, and ceramic coatings formulated for the water, while pontoons and hull brightwork get our metal polishing treatment. On land, Dubuque drivers lean on our ceramic coatings for winter protection, paint protection film for highway chips, window tint for summer heat, and headlight restoration for the dark bluff roads at night.
