Quoted by RV size & condition

Gel Coat Polishing
Gel coat is the outer layer on a fibreglass hull — it is what gives the boat its gloss. UV, water and weather oxidise it over time until it goes chalky and faded. Polishing brings it back.
The most common issue on an older hull. UV breaks down the gel coat surface, leaving it chalky and faded. Compounding cuts through the oxidised layer to the good gel coat underneath.
Mineral deposits and waterline staining are common on hulls that sit in the water. Treated with specialised compounds and chemical cleaners before polishing starts.
Surface marks from improper washing, trailering or dock contact. Machine polishing removes or dramatically reduces them without touching the underlying structure.
After polishing, a UV sealant or ceramic coating protects the restored surface and slows the oxidation coming back. Without protection, it returns much faster.
Every Type of Vessel
Fishing boats to pontoons, jet skis to motorhomes.
Service Area
Based in the Fargo-Moorhead area and serving the surrounding lakes communities. If the boat is stored or docked nearby, we can come to it. Locations outside the metro may include a travel fee, quoted upfront.
How It Works
No guessing, no runaround. Here is exactly what happens from first contact to the moment you have it back.
Send a few photos of the vessel and tell us what you are after. We will assess the condition and give you a straight quote before anything is booked.
We work at your marina, storage facility or driveway. No hauling required — we bring the equipment to the job.
For polishing work we assess oxidation in person before starting. Lightly oxidised gel coat may need one stage; a badly faded hull may need two or three.
Results are immediate — the gloss is visible as soon as polishing is done. UV sealant goes on before we wrap up so the finish holds through the season.
Common Questions
Don't see yours here? Call or text (218) 849-7677 — we answer fast.
Run your hand across the hull. If it feels rough or chalky, or leaves a white residue on your hand, the gel coat is oxidised and will respond well to polishing. Visually it looks dull and faded rather than glossy. Even moderate oxidation comes back dramatically. Send photos and we'll tell you what to expect.
Usually yes. Heavy oxidation needs more aggressive compounding and multiple stages, but the results are typically significant. The exception is gel coat oxidised all the way through to the fibreglass — at that point no amount of polishing restores it and re-gelcoating is the only option. We'll tell you honestly what's possible before starting.
A smaller fishing boat or jet ski runs 2–4 hours. A full-size pontoon or bowrider typically runs 4–8 hours depending on oxidation. Heavily oxidised hulls needing multiple stages take longer — we'd rather do it right than rush it.
It's worth it. Ceramic applied after polishing locks in the restored finish and significantly slows oxidation coming back. It also makes the hull much easier to clean — water beads off and algae doesn't bond as easily. A spray sealant is included with every polish; ceramic extends that protection from months to years.
Yes. Marinas, indoor storage, outdoor lots, your driveway — wherever it's parked. We just need reasonable access to work around the vessel. Locations outside Fargo-Moorhead may include a travel fee, quoted upfront.
