Gelcoat Restoration

Compounding and polishing that pulls oxidation and chalking back to gloss.

Florida sun oxidizes gelcoat fast. Once the surface goes chalky, wax alone will not bring it back — the dead layer has to be cut off before anything can shine.

We compound with marine-grade abrasives, refine with a second polishing step, and then seal. On badly neglected hulls we test a section first so you can see the realistic outcome before committing to the whole vessel.

Restored gelcoat needs protection immediately. Left bare, it starts oxidizing again within a season.

Takes about
2 – 5 days by size
How often
Every 1 – 2 years

FAQ

Questions we get

My hull is badly chalked — is it too far gone?

Rarely. Heavy oxidation usually restores well. What does not restore is gelcoat that has been compounded so many times it is thin, which is why we take a conservative first cut.
