Marine Detailing & Oxidation
Removal Built for Gulf Coast Boats

The Gulf Coast is one of the toughest places in the country to keep a boat looking good. Constant sun, salt air, and humidity break down gelcoat quickly, so oxidation, chalking, and fading set in sooner than most owners expect. Nearly all of it is reversible, though, no matter how far gone the finish looks.

And the difference is hard to believe until you see it. Here is our team taking a real boat from faded and chalky to a deep, wet-looking gloss, filmed right here on the Gulf Coast.

Our Marine Ceramic
Coating Package

If you are tired of fighting oxidation every single season, this is how you stop. The Marine Ceramic Package starts with a 1-step polish to clear light oxidation and surface contamination, then seals your gelcoat with a professional-grade Starke ceramic coating. It stands up to saltwater, UV, fish blood, algae, and everything else the Gulf throws at your boat, and it holds for years instead of weeks.

$100/ft
Marine Ceramic Package 1-step oxidation removal + 3-year Starke ceramic coating
We come to your marina. Free assessment first.
  • 1-step polish removes light oxidation, haze & surface contamination
  • Starke ceramic coating bonds directly to gelcoat — not a wax or sealant
  • 3-year protection from saltwater, UV rays, fish blood & algae
  • Extreme hydrophobics — water, salt & grime bead and sheet off
  • Dramatically easier maintenance washes all season long
  • Slows oxidation from returning — stops the annual grind
  • Free on-site assessment before any work begins

🌊
Saltwater Resistant The coating repels salt before it can bond to your gelcoat. On the Gulf Coast, that alone earns its keep.
☀️
UV Shield It blocks the UV rays that break down the resin in your gelcoat, so oxidation slows way down after coating.
🐟
Biological Resistance Fish blood, bird droppings, algae, and bait residue wipe right off instead of staining the surface.
💧
Self-Cleaning Effect Water beads and sheets off, carrying dirt and salt away instead of letting it sit and etch.
📅
3-Year Protection One coating job protects your boat for three full seasons, with no annual waxing and no annual oxidation fight.

    Oxidation Removal Guide

    What Is Boat Oxidation
    & Can It Be Fixed?

    Oxidation is the most common gelcoat problem we see on the Gulf Coast, and the good news is that most of it comes right back to life. Here is how to read your boat’s condition, so you have a rough idea of where it stands before we even show up.

    01
    Light Oxidation

    Gelcoat still has gloss but looks slightly dull or hazy. Usually affects boats that have been maintained but haven’t been polished in a season or two.

    • Slight dullness or haze over the surface
    • Gloss still present — just needs enhancement
    • Water still beads somewhat
    • No visible chalking
    Recommended: Refresh Package or Marine Ceramic Starting at $50/ft — or get coated now for $100/ft
    02
    Moderate Oxidation

    Gelcoat is clearly dull and rough to the touch. Color has faded noticeably. Most of the gloss is gone. Very common in Gulf Coast boats that sit in the sun year-round.

    • Clearly dull — no shine visible
    • Rough or chalky feel when you run your hand across it
    • Noticeably faded color vs. original
    • Light chalk on your hand after touching it
    Recommended: Restore Package Starting at $75/ft — 2-step machine polish
    03
    Heavy Oxidation

    Heavily chalked surface with significant color fade. No shine at all. Paint transfers heavily to your hand when touched. At this level, oxidation has penetrated deeper into the gelcoat.

    • Heavy chalk — significant amounts on your hand
    • Extreme color fade, looks almost white or grey
    • Completely flat with zero gloss
    • Rough, almost sandpaper-like texture
    Recommended: Revive Package Starting at $100/ft — 3-step heavy cut polish
    04
    Severe Oxidation

    Deep oxidation with possible surface damage and cracks in the gelcoat. Polishing alone won’t fully remove it — wet sanding is required to level the surface before polishing can restore the shine.

    • Very deep chalk — almost powdery to the touch
    • Visible gelcoat cracking or crazing
    • Polishing without sanding won’t fully restore
    • Years of untreated neglect
    Recommended: Full Overhaul Starting at $130/ft — wet sanding + 3-step polish

    FAQ

    Boat Detailing Questions,
    Answered

    We don’t give exact pricing until we see the boat in person. We come to you, do a free on-site assessment and test spot on an inconspicuous area, and then tell you exactly what your boat needs and what it’ll cost. No commitment required. The per-foot pricing above is a reliable starting point, but oxidation severity can move the number significantly — that’s why we test first.
    In almost every case, professional oxidation removal is dramatically cheaper than repainting and produces excellent results. Gelcoat can be restored professionally even when it looks completely gone. A full overhaul at $130/ft is still far less than a repaint — and if you follow up with ceramic coating, you’re protecting that restored surface for 3+ years. We recommend exhausting oxidation removal before ever considering a repaint.
    The Marine Ceramic Package at $100/ft includes a full decontamination wash, a 1-step machine polish to remove light oxidation, surface haze, and contamination, followed by professional Starke ceramic coating application. The ceramic bonds directly to your gelcoat and provides 3-year protection against saltwater, UV rays, fish blood, bird droppings, and algae. For boats with moderate to heavy oxidation, we’d recommend a more aggressive polish package first and then discuss ceramic as an add-on.
    For above-waterline work — the hull sides, deck, cockpit, and all topside surfaces — yes, absolutely. For full-hull work or ceramic coating on the hull bottom, the boat needs to be on land (trailer, dry storage, or boat stand) so we can access the full hull safely. We’ll assess your setup when we come out and tell you exactly what’s achievable at your location.
    A maintenance wash and wax on a 25ft boat typically takes 3–5 hours. A full oxidation removal on a moderately oxidized 30ft boat can be a full 8–10 hour day, or spread across two days for best results. Heavy or severe oxidation requiring wet sanding may be a multi-day job. We always give you a realistic time estimate after the on-site assessment.
    Yes. We can apply marine ceramic coating to the hull, deck, hardtop, console, and even interior surfaces where appropriate. Different surfaces may require different ceramic formulations — gelcoat, aluminum, glass, and vinyl all have specific products. We’ll walk through the full scope during your assessment and quote each surface so you know exactly what you’re getting.
    The Gulf Coast is one of the harshest environments for boat gelcoat in the country. You’re dealing with intense Alabama UV from April through October, high humidity, salt air even when you’re not in the water, direct saltwater exposure, and warm temperatures year-round that accelerate the chemical breakdown of gelcoat resin. Most boat owners in Daphne, Fairhope, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach see oxidation returning every 1–2 seasons on unprotected gelcoat. Ceramic coating slows this dramatically — which is why we push it hard.
