Stage 1: Preparation & Decontamination
Before a single buffer touches the hull, we ensure the environment is controlled and the vessel is clean. We treat the preparation as the most critical step in the entire process.
Total Compartment Sanitization: We remove all personal items and organize them off-vessel. Every hatch and compartment is emptied to allow for a 360-degree inspection and removal of mold, mildew, and stains from every inch of the interior and storage areas.
Wash: Using heavy-duty degreaser soaps, we strip away old, failing waxes and environmental oils. The entire vessel and all internal compartments are then hand-dried to ensure a bone-dry surface for the next phase.
Phase 2: Surface Correction
Gel coat restoration is a science. We don't just "buff" the boat; we level the surface to restore the original depth and clarity of your hull.
Oxidation Removal & Wet Sanding: For vessels with severe sun damage or "chalking," we utilize precision wet sanding techniques. This carefully removes dead gel coat layers to reveal a fresh, workable surface.
Dual-Action Compounding: We execute by using a combination of rotary buffers for high-torque cutting and oscillating polishers for a swirl-free, mirror finish. This two-machine approach ensures maximum gloss without the "holograms" left by amateur detailers.
Phase 3: Protection
Preservation is about chemistry. We use elite-grade sealants and installation techniques to shield your vessel from the elements.
Ceramic Coating & Polymer Sealants: We offer both high-performance synthetic polymer sealants and professionally installed Ceramic Coatings. Our ceramic process involves a total decontamination and correction of the paint or gel coat before the coating is bonded, creating a permanent hydrophobic shield.
The Signature Final Wash: Every detail concludes with a thorough wash using PH-neutral boat soap. This ensures all polishing oils are neutralized and the vessel is delivered clean, dry, and protected.
Phase 4: Marine Artisan's Final Touch
We conclude every detail by treating the critical accents that define a vessel’s character.
Stainless & Aluminum Restoration: We utilize Collinite 850 Metal Wax to polish and seal all stainless steel fittings. This specialized formula removes rust and tarnish while leaving a polymer coating that resists "tea-staining" in saltwater environments.
Teak, Vinyl & Textile Treatment: From restoring the natural honey hue of teak decks to deep-cleaning and UV-treating vinyl upholstery, we ensure every "soft" and "natural" surface is supple, protected, and presentable.
