Boat detailing at your dock · Naples, Florida
Gloss above the waterline.
Shoalbright washes, compounds, polishes and protects boats where they’re kept, so salt and sun don’t get the last word.
The polish
From chalky to deep
Gulf sun turns gelcoat pale and chalky. Drag across the hull, or use the slider, to see what compounding and polishing bring back.
OxidisedPale, chalky, rubs off on your hand.
CompoundedThe dead surface is cut away.
Polished and sealedThe colour comes back deep, then gets protection.
