Buff & Wax is a condition-based gelcoat correction and protection service designed to slow oxidation, restore gloss, and preserve your boat’s finish in harsh marine environments. Gelcoat is constantly exposed to UV, salt, and environmental fallout. Without protection, it will dry out, fade, and oxidize over time. This service corrects surface dullness and light oxidation, then seals the gelcoat with a high-quality marine wax that enhances gloss and provides a protective barrier against UV exposure and the elements. The result is a smoother surface, deeper color, and easier maintenance throughout the season.
Buff & Wax is ideal for owners who want to:
- Restore lost gloss and clarity
- Protect their finish from UV and salt exposure
- Remove and prevent gelcoat oxidation and fading
- Maintain the condition of previously corrected gelcoat
- Extend the life of their exterior surfaces
This service delivers visible improvement while helping preserve the long-term health of the gelcoat.

Buffing and waxing is a condition-based service and can correct light, moderate, or heavy oxidation as needed. However, while oxidation can be addressed at any level, deep scratches, gouges, or structural damage cannot be repaired through buffing and waxing alone. Results depend on the existing condition of the gelcoat.
Wax slows oxidation but does not permanently stop it. Over time, UV exposure and washing will break down the protective layer. Regular maintenance helps preserve gloss, extend gelcoat life, and prevent oxidation from returning prematurely.
Polish and wax offers short-term, seasonal protection and is ideal for maintenance or restoring appearance. Ceramic coating provides longer-term protection and reduced maintenance but requires a higher level of preparation. Both services serve different needs depending on how the boat is used and stored.
