Boat Polishing & Oxidation Removal in Haliburton

Boat Polishing in Haliburton

Mobile boat polishing and oxidation removal, done properly, wherever your boat is kept.

Boats on Head Lake, Kashagawigamog Lake and the Haliburton Highlands lakes spend the summer in strong sun, which is what oxidizes gelcoat. In Haliburton 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 Haliburton 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. Boats on the Kawarthas and in Haliburton usually launch in May and come out by mid-October, with the Trent–Severn locks open from May to October.

Boat Polishing & Oxidation Removal FAQs for Haliburton

How do I get a boat polishing and oxidation removal quote in Haliburton?+
Call 416-729-7935, use the form on this page or email freshnupdetailing@Hotmail.com. Send the make, model and length of your boat, where it is kept in Haliburton, and a few photos, and we will send a clear quote.
How do I know if my boat is oxidized?+
Rub a clean finger or a dark cloth on the hull. If it comes away chalky, or the colour looks faded and flat even when wet, the gelcoat is oxidized and needs compounding, not just wax.
Can every oxidized hull be restored?+
Most can be brought back to good colour and gloss. Very old gelcoat that has been compounded many times can be thin in places, and severe crazing or cracking cannot be polished out. We do a test section and tell you what to expect before starting.
How long does a boat polish last?+
That depends on sun exposure, storage and what goes on top. A polished hull left unprotected will start to dull within a season; sealing it with a wax, sealant or ceramic coating and washing it regularly keeps the finish much longer.
Does the boat need to be out of the water?+
Yes. To polish the hull properly we need to reach every part of it, so the boat should be on a trailer, cradle or stands.
Do you come to me in Haliburton?+
Yes. We are mobile and bring our own water and power, so we can work at your home, a marina on Head Lake, Kashagawigamog Lake and the Haliburton Highlands lakes, a storage yard or a cottage, with the property's permission. We schedule cottage-country and northern visits in advance, so tell us where the boat or RV is stored and when you need it ready.
