Our suggestion
Oxidation removal
Chalk means the gelcoat surface is oxidized. It needs machine compounding and polishing, not just wax, then protection.
Not sure? Send us a few photos and we'll tell you what it needs.
We Detail Boats & RVs
Barrie wraps around Kempenfelt Bay on Lake Simcoe, with its marina beside downtown and launch points along the bay. Being on Highway 400, Barrie is also home to a lot of RVs and trailers, and to owners who keep their boats at cottages further north. We detail, polish, ceramic coat and clean boats and RVs across Barrie, on site, with our own water and power.

Tips & Advice
How to Choose a Boat or RV Detailer
Two quotes for the same boat can be wildly different. Here is how to compare boat and RV detailers fairly, what a good quote includes and the questions worth asking.
Boat Care
Boat Oxidation: What Causes Chalky Gelcoat and How It's Removed
That chalky film on your hull is oxidized gelcoat. Here is why it happens, how to tell how bad it is, and what it actually takes to bring the colour and gloss back.
Protection
Ceramic Coating vs Wax for Boats and RVs
Wax has been the standard for decades, but ceramic coatings are now common on boats and RVs. Here is how they compare and which makes sense for you.
RV Care
RV Roof Cleaning: EPDM, TPO, Fibreglass and Aluminum
The wrong cleaner can damage a rubber RV roof. Here is how to tell what roof you have, how each type should be cleaned, and why a clean roof means fewer black streaks.

Spring Launch Checklist: Detailing Your Boat Before It Goes In
Before launch is the easiest time to fix the hull, because it is out of the water and accessible. Here is a detailing checklist for spring.
Seasonal
Fall Storage Checklist: Detailing Your RV Before Winter
Storing an RV dirty means bugs, sap and grime sit on the finish for months. Here is what to clean and protect before an Ontario winter.

Boats and RVs in Barrie
Barrie wraps around Kempenfelt Bay on Lake Simcoe, with its marina beside downtown and launch points along the bay. Being on Highway 400, Barrie is also home to a lot of RVs and trailers, and to owners who keep their boats at cottages further north.
Lake Simcoe is one of the busiest boating lakes in Ontario, with marinas and cottages from Kempenfelt Bay and Big Bay Point to Cook's Bay, Jackson's Point and Lake Couchiching. Ice on Lake Simcoe usually keeps boats in storage until late April or May, and haul-out runs from September to October.
Boat Detailing in Barrie
Barrie wraps around Kempenfelt Bay on Lake Simcoe, with its marina beside downtown and launch points along the bay. Being on Highway 400, Barrie is also home to a lot of RVs and trailers, and to owners who keep their boats at cottages further north. Wherever your boat is kept in Barrie, from Kempenfelt Bay and Lake Simcoe to a driveway or storage compound, we come to it with our own water and power.
A full boat detail in Barrie covers the hull sides, deck and non-skid, vinyl seating, canvas and clear vinyl, stainless and chrome, and the cockpit and cabin, and finishes with a protective sealant on the gelcoat. Ice on Lake Simcoe usually keeps boats in storage until late April or May, and haul-out runs from September to October.
Boat Polishing and Oxidation Removal
Boats on Kempenfelt Bay and Lake Simcoe spend the summer in strong sun, which is what oxidizes gelcoat. In Barrie we see the same story every spring: hulls that looked fine at launch two or three years ago now leave chalk on your hand, and coloured hulls have faded to a pale version of themselves.
We restore Barrie boats by washing and decontaminating the hull, machine compounding the oxidized layer, polishing for gloss and sealing the finish, all with the boat on its trailer or on stands. Ice on Lake Simcoe usually keeps boats in storage until late April or May, and haul-out runs from September to October.
Boat Ceramic Coating in Barrie
For boats on Kempenfelt Bay and Lake Simcoe, a ceramic coating means less time scrubbing the waterline and more time on the water. Barrie owners usually book coating in spring, before launch, or in fall, after haul-out, when the boat is on its trailer or stands and the hull can be corrected first.
Every Barrie coating job follows the same order: wash, decontaminate, correct the gelcoat, panel wipe, then coat and cure. Ice on Lake Simcoe usually keeps boats in storage until late April or May, and haul-out runs from September to October.
RV Detailing in Barrie
Barrie has a lot of RVs: motorhomes parked beside the house, fifth wheels at storage yards, and travel trailers at seasonal sites. We detail all of them on site in Barrie, with our own water and power, so there's nothing to set up and nowhere to drive.
An exterior detail in Barrie covers the sidewalls, front and rear caps, black streaks, bugs, wheels and windows, finished with a protective sealant, and interiors can be cleaned the same day. Ice on Lake Simcoe usually keeps boats in storage until late April or May, and haul-out runs from September to October.
RV Polishing and Ceramic Coating
RVs in Barrie are often parked in full sun for most of the year, which is what turns fibreglass chalky and faded. We see it most on front caps and on the south-facing side of RVs that are stored in the same spot every season.
For Barrie RV owners, a ceramic coating means less time washing and more time travelling. We coat motorhomes, fifth wheels and travel trailers on site in Barrie, at home or in storage, with our own water and power.
Hull Cleaning and RV Roofs
Boats used on Kempenfelt Bay and Lake Simcoe come out of the water each fall with the same problem: a stained waterline, a brown or yellow bow and a film over the lower hull. In Barrie, we clean hulls on trailers, cradles and stands at homes, storage yards and marinas.
RVs stored in Barrie, especially under trees, collect leaves, sap and mildew on the roof, and that's where most black streaks start. We clean RV roofs on site in Barrie, whether the RV is in your driveway or at a storage yard.
