Gel Coat Protection
Salt from the ocean and intense ultra-violet (UV) rays from the sun cause the gel coat on boats to oxidize and yellow, hindering the shine from the underlying finish. This chalky, white residue is an eyesore that takes away from the overall appearance of your pride and joy. You can protect your investment by regularly applying one of many Manny boat waxes and boat sealants. From traditional liquid boat waxes to what is arguably the best spray on boat wax, Manny has a boat wax or boat sealant designed to keep your boat looking new for years. You’ll be happy to hear that all Manny boat waxes and boat sealants can be used in direct sunlight.

Our Process
Gel Coat Preservation & Ceramic Protection
Protect and preserve your vessel with our professional Gel Coat Preservation & Ceramic Protection service. Over time, constant exposure to UV rays, saltwater, oxidation, and harsh marine environments can cause gel coat surfaces to fade, lose their shine, and deteriorate. Our preservation process restores the surface when needed and applies a premium marine-grade ceramic coating that bonds to the gel coat, creating a durable, hydrophobic protective layer.
This advanced protection enhances gloss and color depth while helping defend against UV damage, salt deposits, oxidation, hard water spots, bird droppings, and other environmental contaminants. The ceramic coating also makes routine cleaning easier by reducing the buildup of dirt and grime, allowing your boat or yacht to maintain a cleaner, showroom-quality appearance with less maintenance. Whether your vessel is used for recreation or luxury cruising, our Gel Coat Preservation & Ceramic Protection service helps keep it looking exceptional while preserving its beauty and value for years to come.

FAQ
How long does ceramic coating actually last
Typically 18–24 months on gelcoat, depending on storage and maintenance. Interior areas last longer.
Does ceramic coating prevent oxidation?
It drastically slows oxidation but doesn’t stop it forever. Proper maintenance still matters.
Can I still wax over ceramic coating?
No. It defeats the purpose and interferes with the hydrophobic effect.
