Boat polishing, also known as "lustration", is an essential procedure for maintaining your watercraft. It's frequently performed, in Antibes and elsewhere ! It involves polishing the gelcoat on boats to get rid of imperfections, and restore hulls to their original shine. If your unit's gelcoat is damaged, has become dull or the colors have faded, polishing is the solution to your problem.
The boat polish is made up of several steps : preparation and cleaning of the boat, protection of untreated areas, degreasing of the surface concerned, uniform application of polish or polishing paste, buffing and waxing. A boat polish will give your vessel a shiny, new appearance. However, before starting work, it's important to ask yourself a few questions : Which polishing paste should I choose ? How do I polish my ship's hull ? Which polish will provide maximum protection on the job ? How long should I wait for the polish to dry completely ? How long should I wait before putting the boat back in the water ?
