Why San Diego Boat Owners Are Switching to Ceramic Coating

San Diego’s harsh sun and saltwater destroy gelcoat fast — which is why waxing must be repeated every few months. Ceramic coating completely changes the game by sealing your boat under a long-lasting hydrophobic layer.

Why upgrade from wax to ceramic:

Triple protection instead of 3–6 months
High-gloss shine that stays looking freshly detailed
Superior UV and oxidation defense
Hydrophobic properties keep your boat cleaner
Salt, grime, and water slide right off
Lower ongoing maintenance cost
Boosts resale value

For regular maintenance afterward, pair your coating with our boat wash services.

Ceramic Coating — A Smarter, Longer-Lasting Alternative to Wax

Ceramic coating is the latest advancement in marine protection technology and outperforms wax in every category. Wax is temporary. Ceramic coating forms a semi-permanent bond with your gelcoat, delivering unmatched gloss and durability.

If you’re serious about preserving your boat’s shine and value, ceramic coating is the superior long-term solution.
