MACHINE DETAILING PROCESS

What you need to know

Whilst machine detailing would appear to fall under “detailing”, it in fact falls under the category of "Gelcoat Maintenance". And whilst good practices such as, general clearing after use, regular wax/polish along with covering or storing you boat under cover, will prolong the gelcoats deterioration - gelcoat maintenance by way of machine detailing is recommended bi annually (or as required).

Machine detailing a boat's gelcoat offers numerous benefits, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the vessel. Here are some key advantages:

Enhanced Appearance

Machine detailing will help to restore the gelcoats original color, shine and gloss.

UV Stabilisation & Protection

Our marine standard cutting and polishing products remove a micro layer of gelcoat and creating a barrier that shields the surface from harmful UV rays, pollutants, fading and oxidation and other environmental contaminants.

Prolonged Gelcoat Life

Regular machine detailing assists in maintaining the integrity of the gelcoat, preventing cracks, chalking, and other signs of wear - minimize the need for costly repairs and re-gelcoating in the future.

Improved Hydrodynamics

Under hull machine detailing provides reduces drag, which can enhance the boat’s performance and fuel efficiency, the smooth surface makes it less likely for your hull to accumulate grime and marine growth, making regular cleaning easier and more effective.

Increased Resale Value

A well-maintained boat with a shiny and intact gelcoat is more attractive to potential buyers, which can increase its resale value.

Inspection Opportunity

The machine detailing provides an opportunity for our qualified in house Shipwright/Boat Builder to inspect the gelcoat closely, allowing for the early identification and addressing of minor issues before they become major problems.

Overall, machine detailing is a worthwhile investment for maintaining the beauty, functionality, and value of your boat's gelcoat. Regular care ensures your vessel remains in top condition, providing better performance and a more enjoyable boating experience.
