GELCOAT RESTORATION

What is Gelcoat Restoration?

Gelcoat Restoration revitalizes your boat’s faded, chalky surface by removing oxidation, restoring depth and shine, and sealing it with a durable protective coating—leaving your vessel looking brand new and ready for the water.

Why Choose
Naples Detailing...

At Naples Detailing, we take pride in restoring your vehicle’s paint to a flawless, showroom-quality finish. Here’s how our professional paint correction process works:

Deep Wash & Surface Prep. We begin by thoroughly washing your boat to remove salt, grime, and oxidation buildup. Every surface is cleaned and prepped to ensure a smooth, contaminant-free foundation for restoration.

Oxidation Removal
Using specialized marine-grade compounds, we cut through oxidation and surface dullness, restoring color depth and clarity to the gelcoat. This step removes years of sun damage and environmental wear.

STEP 2

Machine Polishing & Refinement. Next, our technicians use high-speed polishers and precision pads to refine the gelcoat surface. Multiple polishing stages may be used to eliminate swirl marks and create a deep, mirror-like gloss.

STEP 3

Surface Wipe & Inspection. After polishing, we perform a final wipe-down to remove any polishing oils or residue. We then inspect the gelcoat under proper lighting to ensure every area meets our high-quality standards.

STEP 4

Sealant or Ceramic Protection. To preserve the restored finish, we apply a marine-grade sealant or ceramic coating. This protective layer enhances shine and shields your boat from UV rays, saltwater, and oxidation—keeping your gelcoat vibrant longer.

STEP 5
