We all love that showroom shine. But the harsh sun and salt air in the South West can take a toll on your pride and joy. Over time, you might notice your shiny fiberglass hull turning dull, chalky, or white.
This is oxidation. And a simple wash with soap and water won’t fix it.
Why “Just a Wax” Isn’t Enough Putting wax over oxidized gelcoat is like putting a plaster on a broken leg. It doesn’t fix the underlying issue. To truly restore the colour and shine, you need a professional machine cutting and polishing service.
How We Do It At High Tide Marine, we use mobile facilities to come to you—whether you’re at Dartside Quay or a private mooring.
- Compound Cutting: We remove the microscopic layer of dead, oxidized gelcoat.
- Polishing: We buff the surface to a high gloss.
- Protection: We seal it with high-grade wax or ceramic coating.
Not only does this make your boat look incredible, but it also restores the value of your vessel. If you’re thinking of selling, or just want to fall in love with your boat again, a professional polish is the best investment you can make.
