Marine ceramic coating
Salt, UV and the elements. Your gelcoat needs real protection.
The Sunshine Coast marine environment is one of the toughest there is on boat surfaces. Saltwater, UV, hard water, marine growth and the constant wet-dry cycle all attack gelcoat, speeding up oxidation, chalking and dullness. Traditional wax gives weeks of protection. Gtechniq Marine Ceramic bonds to the gelcoat and lasts years.
It's a dedicated two-stage marine system, Marine Ceramic Base followed by Marine Ceramic Top, engineered for gelcoat and the conditions boats face in and out of the water. Not an automotive product repurposed for boats.

Will your boat fit the bay?
Pick your vessel type, then set its length and its height on the trailer. The studio bay takes vessels up to about 7 metres long and 3.5 metres high.
5.8 m
2.6 m
Vessel types start at a typical size. Adjust to yours; measure overall length and the highest point on the trailer, including screens and towers.
Fits the studio
Bring it in.
That's well inside the bay. We can assess, prepare and coat it under studio lighting at Corbould Park.
Not sure of the numbers? Call us before booking. We'd rather confirm the fit upfront than turn you away at the door.
The Gtechniq marine system
Two stages. One lasting result.
Base first, Top over it. Each stage does a different job, and together they give the most complete marine gelcoat protection we can offer.
Prepared surface
Clean, corrected gelcoat
Both stages on every job. The Base gives hardness and UV resistance; the Top adds dirt repellency, gloss and anti-static performance. For Sunshine Coast conditions we recommend both.
Why ceramic over wax
Wax washes off. Ceramic doesn't.
Most boat owners use wax or a polymer sealant, reapplied every three to six months. Here's what a year looks like either way.

Vessels we protect
Trailer boats to jet skis.
Jet skis + PWC
All personal watercraft, with gelcoat hulls and decks coated and protected.
Fishing boats
Aluminium and fibreglass. Saltwater exposure makes protection essential for longevity.
Ski + wake boats
High-gloss gelcoat protected and enhanced. Easier to maintain, longer-lasting result.
Bowriders + runabouts
Full exterior gelcoat and topside protection. Glass and trailer wheels available as add-ons.
Small sailboats
Gelcoat hulls and topsides up to our studio size limit. Call to discuss before booking.
Add-on protection
Protect more than just the hull.
Glass + windscreens
Hydrophobic coating on windscreens and windows. Rain and spray sheet off instead of sitting on the glass, for better visibility at speed and in chop, and salt and bug splatter come off far more easily.
Trailer wheels
Ceramic protection for trailer wheels and rims. Salt exposure speeds up corrosion on unprotected wheels; C5 resists salt, brake dust and road grime, keeping them cleaner and lasting longer.
Why the studio matters
Marine coating needs a controlled environment.
Coating a hull in a car park, on a driveway or at a marina brings in dust, unstable temperature and humidity, and poor lighting. They're the difference between a coating that lasts years and one that fails in months.
Dust-free application
Airborne dust during application creates inclusions in the cured coating. The enclosed studio keeps it out, which matters on large hull surfaces where any flaw shows.
4 m studio lighting
Lighting at 4 metres shows what daylight hides: oxidation patterns, surface defects and contamination, found before coating goes on.
Stable conditions
Marine ceramic needs steady temperature and humidity to bond and cure. No humidity spikes, no direct sun, no wind.
Multi-stage decontamination
Salt residue, marine growth residue, wax and contamination are removed completely. The coating bonds to the gelcoat, not to what's sitting on it.
Correct preparation
Oxidised or marked gelcoat is machine corrected first. Coating over it would lock the deterioration in. We assess and advise before we start.
Gtechniq accredited process
We follow Gtechniq's application protocol on every marine job, the same process behind the product's performance claims.
Drop off on the trailer at Corbould Park

FAQ
Marine ceramic coating, answered.
They work as a two-stage system. Marine Ceramic Base is the foundation: it bonds to the gelcoat and forms an ultra-hard barrier against UV, saltwater, oxidation and wash marring. Marine Ceramic Top goes over the Base and adds extreme dirt repellency, extra gloss, an anti-static function that keeps the surface dust-free, and an additional UV filter. We recommend both stages on every marine job.
Yes. Aluminium hulls can be coated using the appropriate Gtechniq product for the surface, with different preparation to fibreglass gelcoat. We assess the surface before recommending a product and approach.
In many cases, yes. Mild to moderate oxidation can be significantly improved by machine polishing before the coating goes on, locking in a restored finish. Oxidation that has gone through the gelcoat may not be fully restorable without repainting. We assess the condition honestly before quoting.
It depends on vessel size, condition and scope. A jet ski or small trailer boat is typically a 1 to 2 day job. A powerboat up to 7 metres with both coating stages, glass and wheel add-ons is a 2 to 3 day job at minimum. Exact timing is confirmed at assessment.
Vessels up to approximately 7 metres long and 3.5 metres high, on the trailer, inside our studio bay at Corbould Park. If you're unsure whether yours fits, call us before booking and we'll confirm.
It helps, but it doesn't need to be perfect. Every job includes our own multi-stage decontamination wash to remove salt residue, marine growth residue, wax and contamination. Rinsing off heavy salt and grime before drop-off is a good start.
Rinse with fresh water after every saltwater use. Wash with a pH-neutral marine shampoo and a soft mitt, and avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh detergents and stiff brushes. The coating greatly reduces the effort and frequency needed to keep the vessel looking good.
All marine pricing is by assessment, because jobs vary with vessel size, surface construction, condition and the scope included. Call 0458 165 810 or send us the vessel details and we'll give you an accurate quote before you commit to anything.
