Boat Oxidation Removal & Gel Coat Restoration
Sun exposure, water, oxidation, and years of use can leave a boat's gel coat faded, chalky, and dull. STS Detail provides boat oxidation removal and gel coat restoration in Waterford, MI, helping restore the appearance and gloss of weathered marine surfaces.
Depending on the condition of the boat, restoration may include oxidation removal, compounding, polishing, wet sanding, and multiple stages of surface correction. Heavily faded or damaged surfaces may require additional preparation before polishing to achieve the best possible result.
Our goal is to improve the appearance of faded and weathered gel coat while creating a smoother, cleaner, and more reflective finish. We evaluate each boat individually to determine the appropriate restoration process.
Pontoon Detailing & Aluminum Polishing
Pontoon boats can develop oxidation, waterline buildup, staining, and dull aluminum after repeated exposure to water, sunlight, and the elements. STS Detail provides pontoon detailing in Waterford, MI, including professional cleaning and restoration of exposed marine surfaces.
For pontoons and boats with weathered aluminum components, aluminum and metal polishing can help restore a brighter, cleaner appearance. Depending on the condition of the metal, the process may include cleaning, oxidation removal, sanding, compounding, and multiple stages of polishing.
We can work with pontoon logs, rails, trim, brackets, hardware, and other exposed aluminum surfaces. Severely oxidized or weathered aluminum may require additional restoration before polishing.
