The finish

Gloss you can read

Sun and salt leave gelcoat dull and chalky. A proper cut and polish takes off that oxidised layer and brings the shine back, whether it's a white flybridge or a dark navy hull.

FAQ

Common questions

Where do you work?

Auckland wide. I come to your boat, whether it's on a marina berth, a swing mooring you can bring in, the hardstand, or on a trailer at home.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the size of the boat, its condition and what you'd like done. Send me the length and a few photos and I'll give you a quote. My rates are very competitive.

My boat's gone green over winter. Can you fix it?

Yes. The soapy wash is designed for that. It takes off the green moss and winter grime so the boat's ready for summer. If the gelcoat is also dull, a cut and polish will bring the shine back.

What's the difference between a wash and a cut and polish?

A wash cleans the surface. A cut and polish uses a machine polisher to take off the oxidised, chalky layer of gelcoat, which brings back the original gloss and colour.

Do I need to be there?

Not usually. As long as I can access the boat, you can carry on with your day. We'll arrange access when you book.
