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.

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 Peterborough
Peterborough is the heart of the Kawarthas, with the Trent–Severn Waterway and its famous Lift Lock running through the city, and easy access to Chemong, Stony and Rice lakes.
The Trent–Severn Waterway links the Kawartha lakes through Peterborough, Lindsay, Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls, and the Haliburton Highlands add hundreds more cottage lakes. 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 Detailing in Peterborough
Peterborough is the heart of the Kawarthas, with the Trent–Severn Waterway and its famous Lift Lock running through the city, and easy access to Chemong, Stony and Rice lakes. Wherever your boat is kept in Peterborough, from the Otonabee River, Little Lake and the Trent–Severn Waterway to a driveway or storage compound, we come to it with our own water and power.
A full boat detail in Peterborough 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. 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 and Oxidation Removal
Boats on the Otonabee River, Little Lake and the Trent–Severn Waterway spend the summer in strong sun, which is what oxidizes gelcoat. In Peterborough 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 Peterborough 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 Ceramic Coating in Peterborough
For boats on the Otonabee River, Little Lake and the Trent–Severn Waterway, a ceramic coating means less time scrubbing the waterline and more time on the water. Peterborough 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 Peterborough coating job follows the same order: wash, decontaminate, correct the gelcoat, panel wipe, then coat and cure. 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.
RV Detailing in Peterborough
Peterborough 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 Peterborough, with our own water and power, so there's nothing to set up and nowhere to drive.
An exterior detail in Peterborough 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. 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.
RV Polishing and Ceramic Coating
RVs in Peterborough 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 Peterborough RV owners, a ceramic coating means less time washing and more time travelling. We coat motorhomes, fifth wheels and travel trailers on site in Peterborough, at home or in storage, with our own water and power.
Hull Cleaning and RV Roofs
Boats used on the Otonabee River, Little Lake and the Trent–Severn Waterway 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 Peterborough, we clean hulls on trailers, cradles and stands at homes, storage yards and marinas.
RVs stored in Peterborough, 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 Peterborough, whether the RV is in your driveway or at a storage yard.
