What is the difference between polishing and ceramic coating?
Polishing restores the surface by removing oxidation, light scratches, and dullness, bringing back clarity and shine. Ceramic coating is applied afterwards to protect that restored surface, helping preserve the finish over a longer period.
How long does ceramic coating last?
With correct surface preparation and regular maintenance, ceramic coatings typically last several years, providing ongoing protection and reducing the need for frequent polishing.
Does polishing remove oxidation?
Yes. Polishing effectively removes oxidation, surface staining, and dullness, improving both the appearance and smoothness of gelcoat and painted surfaces.
Does ceramic coating protect against UV and salt?
Yes. Ceramic coatings offer long-lasting protection against UV exposure, salt, and environmental contaminants, helping slow down surface degradation in marine conditions.
Is this suitable for older yachts?
Yes. Polishing and ceramic coating can be very effective on older yachts, provided the surfaces are properly assessed and prepared beforehand to achieve the best results.
Does this improve resale value?
Yes. A well-presented yacht with clean, glossy, and protected surfaces creates a strong first impression and can positively influence buyer perception during viewings and surveys.
