Marine Services: Washing, Waxing & Compounding

Wash:
To maintain your boats appearance between waxing we recommend a weekly washing. A weekly washing will protect your boat/yacht from salt spray, bug or bird droppings, acid rain and other environmental pollutants. At Prestige Detailing we use only top of the line cleaning and finishing products. We use a non-abrasive wash & wax to wash off all the salt, dirt, and environmental pollutants without stripping any of the wax coating protecting your paint or gel coat. This results in a 'just waxed' shine and illustrates how at Prestige Detailing we always go the extra mile.

Wax (Sealant & Protectant):
Waxing will remove oxidation and restores your boats paint or gel-coat finish to a glistening shine. A fresh coat of wax will protect your boat from UV rays and keep salt, dirt and other environmental pollutants from penetrating and damaging your boats finish. We recommend regular waxing; at least three times a season in order to keep your boat looking as good as possible all through the year.

Compounding (Oxidation Removal):
Gel-coat, the exterior finish on fiberglass boats, is a porous mix of polyester resins and pigments that must be sealed from the damaging effects of ultra-violet (UV) rays, salt, dirt and weather. Neglect it, and it becomes more porous due to the oxidation of the mixture resins and what remains is a faded, dull finish. Yearly compounding will keep your boat looking good for years. Periodic polishing with a fine compound will remove the oxidation. Applying and maintaining a good coat of wax will prevent further deterioration. *If your boat is already dull and chalky we can restore it to its like new luster by machine compounding, polishing, and waxing. This is a step by step process which depends on how dull your boat is.

Weekly/Bi-Weekly/Monthly Programs are Available at a Discounted rate
