Restore the Deep Mirror Gloss Your Boat Deserves
Is Your Boat Losing Its Shine or Need Professional Polishing?
Over time, sun, salt, and neglect leave gelcoat flat, chalky, and lifeless. Standard washing won’t fix it and the longer it’s left, the worse it gets. What starts as a slight haze quickly turns into heavy oxidation that’s much harder and more expensive to correct. Without proper polishing, the surface continues to degrade, leaving your boat looking older than it really is.
