Remove oxidation

Gelcoat oxidation is the process of the outer layer (gelcoat) of a boat's fiberglass becoming dull and faded due to exposure to the elements. If left too long, oxidation can start to become "chaulky" and can wipe off with just a touch of the hand- similar to sidewalk chalk! Removing it can restore the boat's appearance and protect the gelcoat from further damage. This service often improves resale value of the boat. Restoring gloss & luster back to the vessel, removing cloudy, hazy, chalky, & marred surfaces. 

Correct scratches, swirls, marring & haze. 

Haze and marring are common issues that can occur on a boat's gelcoat surface. Haze refers to a cloudy or dull appearance that can be caused by oxidation or improper cleaning. Marring, on the other hand, refers to small scratches or swirl marks that can be caused by improper cleaning methods or contact with rough surfaces. Both haze and marring can detract from the appearance of a boat's gelcoat surface, but they can often be remedied with proper cleaning and polishing techniques.
