04 — MARINE GELCOAT CORRECTION & CERAMIC
Boat Gelcoat Correction & Ceramic Coating
Eliminate chalky sun oxidation and lock in years of UV-resistant marine ceramic gloss.
Overview
Restore sun-faded gelcoat and stop waxing twice a season
Gelcoat is far more porous than automotive clearcoat. Under summer lake sun, UV rays open those microscopic pores and turn rich navy, black, or red hulls chalky and dull. Traditional marine wax evaporates in weeks, leaving the gelcoat exposed again.
Our multi-stage marine compounding and rotary/forced-rotation polishing removes dead oxidized gelcoat down to fresh pigment. We then seal the pores with System X Marine Ceramic—reducing scum-line adhesion, UV chalking, and wash time for 3+ seasons.
01 — MAINTENANCE
Wash & Sealant
Longevity: 3 – 6 Months
Safely removes surface dirt, bugs, and road or lake film, then adds a short-term hydrophobic topper.
Best for
Well-maintained finishes needing regular upkeep without machine polishing.
02 — RESTORATION
Gelcoat Correction
Longevity: Permanent Defect Removal
Multi-stage machine compounding and polishing permanently levels clearcoat or gelcoat to erase swirls, water etching, and chalky oxidation.
Best for
Swirled dark paint, sun-faded hulls, or oxidized RV sidewalls before sealing.
03 — PROTECTION
Ceramic Coating
Longevity: 3 – 7+ Years
A liquid SiO2 polymer chemically bonds to the corrected surface, creating a UV-resistant, ultra-slick shield.
Best for
Owners who want effortless washing, deep mirror gloss, and zero seasonal waxing.

The Process
How every appointment runs
Oxidation Assessment
We review your hull photos and storage setup (trailer, lift, or slip) to plan safe access and staging.
Compound & Polish
Using marine wool pads and rotary/DA polishers, we strip dead oxidation and refine the gelcoat to a deep mirror.
Marine Ceramic Lock-In
We seal the freshly opened gelcoat pores with marine-grade ceramic so water, algae, and UV bounce off.
Optional Enhancements
Tailored add-ons
Interior Marine Vinyl Ceramic
Protects white/tan seats from sunscreen & mildew stains
Tower & Stainless Ceramic
Prevents water-spot pitting on anodized & stainless metal
