Ideal for boat owners who want their boat protected, not just cleaned.
This is necessary to protect your gelcoat and paint from the lake and sun, and it's recommended before every season start. Choose hull only, rubrails up only, or the full season plan that covers both with a mid-season touch-up.
Buff & Wax, Hull
Machine buff and wax below the rubrail.
For boats that need the hull looking its best. We machine-buff and wax below the rubrail line to remove oxidation, restore depth and gloss, and protect the gelcoat from sun and everyday wear.

Buff & Wax, Rubrails Up
Machine buff and wax from the rubrail up.
For boats that spend more time being seen from the dock than underway. We machine-buff and wax everything from the rubrail up, so the surfaces you and your guests see most stay bright and protected.

Full Season Buff & Wax
Hull and topsides buffed and waxed at the start of the season, with a mid-season touch-up from the rubrails up.
The complete package. We buff and wax your hull and topsides together before your boat goes in the water, then come back midway through the season to rebuff and rewax from the rubrails up, keeping your boat looking its best all season long.

What is oxidation on a boat?
Oxidation is the chalky, dull layer that forms on gelcoat and painted surfaces after sun and weather break down the outer resin. It shows up as a faded, powdery finish instead of the glossy shine your boat had when it was new.
How do I know if my boat has oxidation?
Run a finger across the hull or topsides. If a white or colored powder comes off on your hand, or the finish looks dull and cloudy even after a wash, that is oxidation.
Why does oxidation happen?
UV exposure and everyday weather slowly break down unprotected gelcoat. Without regular wax or a protective coating, that breakdown speeds up, especially on boats that sit uncovered all season.
Can oxidation be reversed?
Yes, in most cases. Light to moderate oxidation responds well to polishing and compounding, which removes the damaged layer and restores the gloss underneath. Heavier, long-neglected oxidation may need multiple passes to fully correct.
How often should oxidation removal be done?
Most boats do well with oxidation removal once a season, ideally at the start of the season before the wax goes on. Boats that sit uncovered in direct sun all season, or that go several seasons without protection, may need it more often.
