Boat Polishing & Gelcoat Restoration

Restore the depth, gloss and clarity of faded or oxidised gelcoat with professional machine polishing and gelcoat correction.

Thompson Marine Detailing provides tailored cut and polish services for vessels throughout Auckland, from light enhancement through to more involved oxidation removal and finish restoration.

Every boat is assessed individually so we can choose the right level of correction for the condition of the gelcoat. Our focus is not simply on making the surface shine, but on achieving a clean, even and refined finish without removing more material than necessary.

Whether your vessel needs a light polish to refresh the surface or a deeper correction to restore a tired finish, we use a careful process designed to improve appearance, protect the gelcoat and make ongoing maintenance easier.

As a fully mobile service, we can carry out work directly at marinas, berths, boat yards and residential driveways across Auckland, making professional boat care simple and convenient wherever your vessel is kept.

Is Your Gelcoat Losing Its Shine?

UV exposure, salt and the marine environment gradually break down the surface of gelcoat, leaving it faded, chalky or dull.

Common signs include:

Dull or chalky surfaces
Faded colour
Loss of gloss and reflection
Patchy or uneven finish
Oxidation returning quickly after washing

Depending on the condition of the gelcoat, we can use anything from a light machine polish through to a more involved cut and polish to restore clarity and improve the finish.
