Boats and yachts are intensively exposed to changing weather conditions and water quality during the sailing season. Think of UV radiation, rain, splashing water, limescale, dirt, bird droppings and fuel residues. These influences cause dull spots, dirt accumulation and rain tracks that affect the appearance of the ship and make maintenance more intensive.
To protect the surface for a long time and to simplify maintenance, this boat has been treated with Polish & Coat, an innovative protective layer that provides a deep shine, dirt repellency and UV protection. In combination with Conditioner, the coating remains active, even with frequent use, and the ship can be easily rinsed clean without aggressive cleaning agents.
Goal and approach
This treatment was aimed at:
- Reducing dirt adhesion on hull, deck and superstructure
- Preventing limescale, rain marks and pollution
- Preserving gloss and a neat appearance, even after intensive use
- Extending the lifespan of paint, gelcoat or plastic parts
- Making maintenance during and after the sailing season easier and environmentally friendly
Product features of Polish & Coat
Polish & Coat is a high-quality 2-in-1 formula that cleans and protects in one application. After application, an ultra-thin protective layer is created that:
- Provides a deep shine without leaving a greasy or sticky layer
- Is water and dirt repellent (hydrophobic) – water beads off the surface immediately
- Prevents limescale and rain marks
- Is UV-resistant – prevents discolouration of plastic and polyester
- Seals the surface, making it less likely for dirt to adhere
These properties make the product suitable for use on:
- Polyester (gelcoat)
- Painted surfaces
- Plastic, aluminium and stainless steel parts
- Windows, hatches and deck fittings
Application and seasonal maintenance
The boat was treated at the start of the sailing season, at a time when the surface was clean, dry and free of grease. This is ideal, because the protective layer then adheres optimally and retains its effect well into the season.
During the season, maintenance is further supported with the Conditioner product, which:
- Keeps the protective layer active
- Restores shine and dirt repellency with frequent use
- Can be applied mixed with water during regular cleaning
- Safe for the environment – no damage to surface water
This keeps the boat in top condition week after week, without the need for time-consuming cleaning or scrubbing.
Suitable for a wide range of vessels
This treatment can be applied to:
- Sailing yachts and motorboats
- Sloops, tenders and RIBs
- Professional vessels (charters, rental fleets, ferries)
- Inland vessels and recreational vessels
This protection is also ideal for boats that are stored outside or are often under trees – the surface gets dirty considerably less quickly.
