REEL DEAL RESTORATION

Compounding & Oxidation Removal

Restore your boat’s shine and protect its value with our professional compounding and oxidation removal services. Over time, sun exposure, saltwater, and environmental contaminants can dull your gelcoat and leave behind a chalky, faded surface. Our specialized restoration process brings your boat back to life, reviving color, gloss, and long-term protection.

Why Oxidation Happens

Fiberglass gelcoat is porous and naturally vulnerable to UV damage. Without proper maintenance, oxidation begins to break down the surface, causing:

Fading or discoloration
Chalky and dull appearance
Surface roughness
Premature wear and reduced resale value

Our job is to stop that process in its tracks and reverse the damage.

Our Restoration Process

1. Deep Cleaning & Surface Prep

We start by thoroughly washing and decontaminating the hull and topside to remove dirt, salt, and old wax. Proper prep ensures the compounding process is as effective as possible.

2. Professional-Grade Compounding

Using marine-safe, high-cut compounds and specialized polishing equipment, we carefully remove layers of oxidation and surface imperfections. This step restores the richness of your boat’s original color and eliminates dullness.

3. Machine Polishing for High Gloss

After compounding, we refine the surface with a machine polish to enhance depth and bring out a brilliant, mirror-like finish.

4. Protective Wax or Ceramic Coating

To keep your restored shine lasting as long as possible, we finish with a premium marine wax or optional ceramic coating. This seals the gelcoat, blocks UV damage, and keeps your boat looking cleaner for longer.
