If you own a boat in the Waikato region, you already know how harsh New Zealand’s environment can be on marine surfaces. Constant exposure to saltwater, UV rays, and pollutants can quickly degrade a boat’s gelcoat, leaving it faded, chalky, and weather-worn.
Fortunately, restoring your vessel’s beauty and protecting your investment is easier than you think. At Mat’s Detailing in Hamilton, we specialise in marine paint correction—a meticulous process that removes oxidation, restores gloss, and prepares your boat’s surface for long-term protection.
We offer two expertly designed marine detailing packages: the Marine Sale Package and the Marine Concourse Package. Each is tailored to different levels of need, ensuring that every boat—whether it's a family cruiser or a showpiece yacht—receives the care it deserves.
Let’s dive into each package and see which one is the perfect fit for your pride and joy.
Why Marine Paint Correction is Essential
Marine paint correction isn’t just about aesthetics. Over time, a boat's gelcoat deteriorates from UV exposure, saltwater corrosion, mineral buildup, and general wear and tear. Left untreated, this degradation can lead to:
Permanent discolouration
Surface cracking and chalking
Reduced resale value
Difficulty maintaining the vessel’s surface cleanliness
Through professional paint correction, not only do you restore the visual appeal of your boat, but you also create a smoother, more resilient surface that’s easier to maintain and protects against future damage.
At Mat’s Detailing, we combine advanced tools, premium products, and years of experience to breathe new life into tired marine surfaces—whether you're getting ready to sell or simply want your vessel to look its best.
Marine Sale Package – Perfect for Restoring Gloss Before a Sale
The Marine Sale Package is designed for boat owners looking for a solid refresh to prepare their vessel for sale or simply to enhance its appearance for the upcoming boating season.
This package is ideal for boats with light to moderate oxidation, watermarks, and surface contaminants. It focuses on restoring gloss, improving surface smoothness, and presenting your boat in a way that truly appeals to potential buyers—or simply makes you fall back in love with it yourself.
The service begins with a deep wash and decontamination to remove dirt, salt residue, and marine pollutants. Once the surface is clean, we undertake a single-stage machine polish aimed at removing light surface imperfections. This process improves colour vibrancy and eliminates dullness, giving the gelcoat a rich, glossy appearance.
After polishing, a high-quality marine-grade sealant is applied. This protective layer locks in the newly restored finish, providing temporary resistance against UV rays and water exposure while maintaining that freshly detailed look.
Key Benefits of the Marine Sale Package:
Restores gloss and vibrancy to faded surfaces
Removes light oxidation and water spots
Enhances resale value by improving the vessel’s appearance
Prepares the surface for protection against UV and salt damage
Cost-effective option for lightly weathered boats
If you’re planning to put your boat on the market—or if you simply want to revive its looks without the extensive commitment of full correction—the Marine Sale Package offers excellent results.
Marine Concourse Package – The Ultimate in Gelcoat Restoration
When only perfection will do, the Marine Concourse Package is the ultimate solution. This premium service is designed for vessels requiring a comprehensive restoration to correct heavy oxidation, deep chalking, and significant surface defects.
The Concourse Package starts with an intensive multi-stage decontamination process to completely remove any salt deposits, algae staining, or embedded contaminants. From there, our skilled technicians perform a multi-stage machine polishing process, starting with heavy-cut compounds to tackle deep oxidation and surface imperfections, before moving onto finer polishes to refine and perfect the finish.
This multi-layered approach allows us to fully restore the gelcoat’s colour, gloss, and depth—reviving the vessel’s appearance to better-than-new standards. The final stage involves applying a premium-grade marine sealant to lock in the finish and defend against UV rays, salt spray, and water contaminants.
For owners of prestige yachts, showboats, or older vessels needing intensive attention, the Marine Concourse Package delivers unparalleled results.
Key Benefits of the Marine Concourse Package:
Eliminates heavy oxidation, chalking, and fading
Restores the gelcoat’s deep, original colour and gloss
Provides a flawless, showroom-quality finish
Extends the lifespan of the gelcoat by protecting against future UV and saltwater damage
Ideal preparation for additional protective treatments such as ceramic coating
The Marine Concourse Package isn’t just a detail—it’s a true restoration. If you want your boat to turn heads at the marina or stand proudly at a show event, this package will achieve a level of excellence that speaks for itself.
