Real work · after polishingWhat you actually get.
Same honest process on every boat. The level decides how deep we go.
Wash & Shield · hull wash + wax
from $25/ft hull sides · $30/ft topsides
Best for
Boats with healthy, glossy gelcoat that need cleaning and fresh protection before or during the season. No chalk on your hand when you wipe the hull.
What we do
- Hand wash of hull sides and waterline grime
- Decontamination of light film and water spots
- Machine or hand application of hybrid-ceramic polymer wax
- Final wipe-down and inspection
The result
Clean, slick hull with UV protection and water beading. Easier to keep clean for the rest of the season.
Honest limits
No polishing, so it will not remove oxidation, haze or swirl marks. If the hull is chalky, you need Oxidation Lift or higher.
Price this level →Oxidation Lift · 1-step compound + protect
from $65/ft hull sides · $70/ft topsides
Best for
Gelcoat that has started to dull: light white residue on your hand, faded shine on hull sides and transom.
What we do
- Wash, decontaminate and inspect oxidation level
- Mask decals, trim and sensitive areas
- Deep machine compounding to cut the oxidized layer
- Protection with wax or polymer sealant
The result
Oxidation removed, colour and gloss back. A big visual change for the money, ideal before launch or a sale.
Honest limits
A single step can leave light haze on dark hulls. For a deeper, haze-free finish choose Deep Gloss.
Price this level →Deep Gloss · 2-step rotary + dual-action
from $75/ft hull sides · $80/ft topsides
Best for
Faded colour, dull or hazy gelcoat, and dark hulls where every swirl shows. Our recommended level for most boats on Lake Ontario.
What we do
- Wash, decontaminate, inspect and mask
- Cutting stage with a rotary polisher to remove oxidation
- Finishing stage with a dual-action polisher to remove haze and holograms
- Protection with wax, polymer sealant or ceramic (ceramic priced as Showroom Restore)
The result
Deep, wet-looking reflection with no haze. The finish people stop and look at on the dock.
Honest limits
Deep scratches you can catch with a fingernail, cracks and crazing need gelcoat repair, not polishing.
Price this level →Chalk Rescue · wet-sand + 2-step
from $100/ft hull sides · $105/ft topsides
Best for
Heavily oxidized, chalky or rough gelcoat on boats that sat for years, faded reds and blues, neglected hulls.
What we do
- Wash, decontaminate and test-spot the gelcoat
- Wet sanding to level the damaged surface
- Rotary compounding to remove sanding marks
- Dual-action polish for clarity, then protection
The result
Colour and gloss brought back on gelcoat most people would call too far gone.
Honest limits
Results depend on how much healthy gelcoat is left. Very thin or worn-through gelcoat may need paint. We check before we start and tell you straight.
Price this level →Showroom Restore + ceramic
from $130/ft hull sides · $135/ft topsides
Best for
Owners who want the best possible finish and protection that lasts well beyond one season, including new boats.
What we do
- Full correction to the level your gelcoat needs
- Surface prep and panel wipe before coating
- Professional ceramic coating application
- Final inspection under proper lighting
The result
Maximum gloss, strong UV and water resistance, and much easier washing for seasons, not weeks.
Honest limits
Ceramic protects a finish, it doesn’t fix one. That is why correction comes first and is included here.
Price this level →Oxidized to glossy.

Machine compound
Cuts away chalky oxidation and levels light defects.
Polish

Protect
Wax, polymer sealant or ceramic to slow future oxidation.

Our company used them at the Toronto International Boat Show and their team is world class! They were more than willing to start at 5am and work late into the night to finish cleaning over 50+ products.
Pavlo and his team turned our oxidized dull looking 1991 CS34 into a sparkling masterpiece!
Pavlo and his team did bottom painting and hull polishing on our Hunter sailboat, and everything turned out amazing.
These guys are the ultimate professionals. Great communication, obvious expertise and experience and fabulous job. I would hire them again in a minute!
I recently had my Sea Ray 550 detailed and ceramic coated, and I couldn’t be more impressed.
Pavlo and his team did an absolutely outstanding job detailing our Yamaha FX Cruiser.
Boat sat all winter dirty and came out looking new after their great work.
I asked for a sticker removal on my boat, and they went above and beyond by waxing, detailing, and thoroughly cleaning it.
