Gelcoat is not car paint
Gelcoat is thicker and more porous than automotive clear coat, and it chalks rather than swirls. Sun and water leave it faded and dusty to the touch, and the hull picks up a waterline stain that normal washing will not lift. The correction process is similar in principle to paint correction but uses different compounds and pads.
What the work covers
Wash and decontamination, waterline and stain treatment, oxidation removal and compounding where the gelcoat needs it, polishing, and a marine wax or sealant so the finish holds up through the season. Interior and vinyl cleaning can be included — mention it when you contact us.
What affects your estimate
Length and type of boat, how heavily the gelcoat has oxidized, how much of the hull is above and below the waterline, where the boat is stored, and whether power and water are available on site. Please send photos, the boat length and its location.
