Marine
Boat detailing.
Gelcoat is not automotive paint. It is a pigmented polyester resin where the color and the surface are the same layer, so when UV breaks down the resin the pigment is left loose on the surface. That chalky residue on your hand is the gelcoat itself. The good news is that gelcoat is laid on far thicker than clear coat, which means heavy oxidation can be compounded away to expose fresh material underneath. It needs marine-grade compounds and a careful hand near edges, chines, and raised lettering where the gelcoat runs thinnest.

How it works
Assess the gelcoat
We check oxidation depth and identify the thin areas — edges, chines, lettering — before any machine touches the hull.
Cut and refine
Marine-grade compounding removes the dead oxidized layer, then finishing polish brings the gloss back up.
Seal
A marine sealant or ceramic coating goes on to slow the UV clock, because bare gelcoat starts oxidizing again immediately.
