Ultimate Marine Protection
Premium Marine Ceramic Coating in Palm Bay, FL
Florida is made for boating, but the water and sun don’t play nice with gel coat. Salt residue, algae film, and water spots build up fast, and UV exposure dulls the finish even faster. At Prime Detailing, we install top-shelf marine ceramic coating to help your boat stay glossier, resist staining, and clean up easier after long days on the water. If you’re tired of constant scrubbing and a finish that never stays bright, this is the upgrade that changes the game.
Ultimate Boat Enhancement
Safeguard And Enhance Your Boat in the Water
Marine ceramic coating gives your gel coat and painted surfaces a slick, durable layer that helps repel water, reduce grime bonding, and slow down oxidation. The biggest difference you’ll notice is how the boat behaves after a rinse. Water beads and sheets off instead of clinging and drying into spots. Salt residue doesn’t bite in as quickly. Scum line buildup becomes easier to remove before it sets.
This isn’t a “make it shiny for a weekend” service. We use high-quality coating to help preserve the finish you already paid for, whether that’s a newer boat you want to keep pristine or a vessel you’ve restored and want to protect long-term.
If you dock in saltwater, trailer to the coast, or store outdoors in Palm Bay sun, coating is one of the smartest ways to keep your boat looking sharp season after season.

Benefits of Marine Ceramic Coating
Helps Defend Against Salt and Mineral Staining
Salt spray and mineral-heavy water leave residue that dries into the surface and starts dulling gel coat over time. A marine ceramic coating helps create a barrier so residue releases more easily during rinses and washes, which reduces staining and helps keep the finish brighter.
Slows Oxidation and UV Fade
UV exposure is one of the biggest reasons boats lose gloss and start looking chalky. Coating helps protect the surface from constant sun exposure, slowing oxidation and keeping your gel coat looking deeper and cleaner for longer.
Easier Washing After a Day on the Water
When gel coat gets rough or porous, grime sticks harder. Coating makes the surface slicker, so algae film, scum line grime, and general water buildup don’t bond as aggressively. You spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying the boat.
Keeps the Boat Looking “Detail Fresh” Longer
A coated finish holds gloss better between washes. Water beads, surface grime rinses off easier, and the boat looks cleaner even after use. If you like pulling up to the dock with a vessel that looks cared for, coating helps you keep that standard with less effort.
Process
Step-by-Step Marine Ceramic Coating Process
1. Inspect the Finish and Identify What the Surface Needs
We start by checking the condition of the gel coat or paint. We look for oxidation, staining, dullness, and water spot etching so we can recommend the right prep approach before coating.
2. Deep Clean and Decontaminate Marine Buildup
Boat surfaces collect a whole host of contaminants, including salt residue, algae, and scum line staining. All of which need to be removed properly so the coating can bond to the gel coat. We use marine-safe methods designed for gel coat, vinyl, and metal surfaces.
3. Correct Oxidation and Restore Gloss
Coating locks in whatever the surface looks like underneath it, so we don’t rush this step. If the finish is dull or chalky, we perform the necessary correction and polishing to bring back clarity and shine before we apply protection.
4. Apply Marine Ceramic Coating With Consistent Coverage
We apply the coating carefully to create an even, durable protective layer. The goal is a slick finish that looks uniform across large panels and holds up better in harsh marine conditions
5. Final Inspection and Care Guidance
Before you take the boat back out, we check the finish in proper lighting and walk you through simple maintenance habits that help you get the best performance out of the coating.

Myths
Common Misconceptions About Marine Ceramic Coating
Myth: Ceramic Coating Means I Don’t Have to Wash My Boat
Truth: You’ll still need to regularly wash it. Coating doesn’t eliminate maintenance altogether; it just makes it easier. Think less scrubbing, easier rinses, and fewer stubborn spots setting into the finish when you stay on top of it.
Myth: It’s Just Wax With Better Marketing
Truth: Wax sits on the surface and wears off quickly, especially in salt and sun. Ceramic coating bonds to the surface and holds up better over time. You get longer-lasting gloss, stronger resistance to staining, and a slicker finish that is easier to clean.
Myth: Coating Fixes Oxidation on Its Own
Truth: Coating protects, but it doesn’t reverse chalky gel coat by itself. If the finish is oxidized, we’ll need to correct it first. That prep work is what makes the final result look bright and “new” instead of locking in dullness.
Myth: Any Detail Shop Can Do It the Same Way
Truth: Marine coating is all about prep and technique. It’s a highly specialized service that should only be done by an experienced professional. Boats have large surfaces and harsher exposure than cars. If the surface isn’t properly cleaned and corrected first, the coating won’t perform the way it should. We focus on the steps that actually make marine coating worth the investment.
