Frequently Asked Questions About Marine Ceramic Coatings
Can ceramic coatings be applied to any type of boat?
Yes! Ceramic coatings are versatile and can be applied to all types of marine vessels, including fishing boats, speedboats, pontoons, and yachts. These ceramic coatings adhere well to various surfaces, including fiberglass, gel coat, and painted metals. The process is adaptable to each boat’s size and structure, ensuring comprehensive coverage and optimal enhancement. Your vessel will be glossy, hydrophobic, and sleek.
Will ceramic coatings make my boat completely maintenance-free?
While ceramic coatings significantly reduce cleaning and detailing efforts for marine vessels, they do not eliminate the need for basic maintenance. Routine washing and inspections are still recommended to remove dirt, salt, and debris that may accumulate during use. However, with a ceramic-coated boat, you will find that contaminants do not stick as easily, and cleaning becomes quicker and less frequent.
How does a ceramic coating compare to traditional wax for boats?
Ceramic coatings outperform traditional wax for marine vessels in terms of durability, longevity, and hydrophobicity. While wax provides a temporary surface shine and water repellency, it wears off quickly and requires frequent reapplication. Ceramic coatings, on the other hand, create a harder, more resilient surface that lasts for years. They offer superior protection against UV rays, water, and environmental pollutants that cause stains, making them the ideal choice for marine environments.
Myths About Marine Ceramic Coatings

Myth 1: Ceramic coatings are only for cosmetic enhancement of a marine vessel
EXPAND TO LEARN MORE
Although ceramic coatings enhance the shine and appearance of a marine vessel, they offer much more than aesthetics. All of the benefits are to the benefit of what you sail! Our ceramic coatings at Apex Auto Shield provide excellent resistance to water streaks, algae, bird droppings, and more. Their hydrophobic properties reduce staining and help maintain the integrity of the paint, making them a functional upgrade as well as an aesthetic one.
Myth 2: Ceramic coatings eliminate the need for hull cleaning
EXPAND TO LEARN MORE
Even with a ceramic coating applied, your marine vessel will still need detailing. Regular hull cleaning is essential, especially for vessels operating in certain bodies of water and environments. The ceramic coating formulas we use make it far harder for barnacles, algae, and grime to attach, but these contaminants can still accumulate over time. Routine marine detailing helps maintain performance and ensures the ceramic coating continues to protect the boat effectively.
Myth 3: Ceramic coatings are a one-time solution
EXPAND TO LEARN MORE
While ceramic coatings are long-lasting and extremely durable, they still require some level of maintenance to perform at their best. Depending on use, they may need to be replaced at one point or another. Periodic hand washing and inspections are necessary to remove surface contaminants and ensure the coating remains intact. Proper care and upkeep will maximize the marine ceramic coating’s longevity, ensuring it provides years of excellent shine to your boat’s paintwork.
