ENHANCE YOUR YACHT'S BRILLIANCE WITH PROFESSIONAL CARE
Conversely, the boat’s paint contains emollients and oils that contribute to its shine. Extended exposure or the absence of protective wax can cause premature drying and degradation. Our professional buffing and waxing techniques not only eliminate faded paint but also rejuvenate emollients, extending the surface’s life and aesthetic appeal.
Our Methodical Boat Polishing Approach
- Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean the boat’s paint/gelcoat surfaces, removing debris, stains, dirt, and oil. For tougher stains, On & Off Hull & Bottom Cleaner is employed.
- Compound Application: Apply a mineral-spirits-based compound with fine abrasive particles to effectively remove oxidation.
- Buffing Process: Utilizing a buffing machine at low speed, work the compound into the surface in controlled bursts to avoid pad overheating. This ensures uniform treatment.
- Polishing: After oxidation removal, proceed to polish the surface, using a polish material with finer abrasives to eliminate swirl marks and enhance shine.
- Waxing: Apply wax in thin coats, with at least two coats for season-long protection. Evenly distribute a thin wax glaze using a clean rag or foam applicator, followed by thorough drying and wiping for a glossy, durable finish.
Maintain Your Yacht's Luster
Discover the Art of Boat Polishing
Maintaining the pristine appearance of your yacht is paramount in the world of yachting. Neglecting periodic buffing and polishing can lead to gradual surface deterioration, resulting in a lackluster, weathered, and chalky look. To counteract these effects and rejuvenate your boat's glossy finish, Foster's Yacht Services offers indispensable expertise.
The Importance of Compound, Wax, and Boat Polish
Your boat, despite being in constant contact with water, is susceptible to grime accumulation and the relentless sun's impact. Applying the right compound, wax, or boat polish fortified with UV protection is not a luxury but a necessity. This diligent care preserves your boat's value and ensures its lasting visual allure.
Preserving Gel Coat and Paint
The exterior of a fiberglass boat primarily consists of gel coat, a protective resin layer that imparts color and shine. Over time, sun exposure and marine elements erode its surface, leading to a dull, chalky appearance. Our meticulous polishing and waxing processes replenish essential oils, enhancing gloss and restoring the original paint luster.
