FAQs

T's Marine Co.

  • Why is it important to wax and cosmetically maintain your boat?

    While mechanical maintenance is crucial, protecting your boat's cosmetic aspects is equally important. The sun's UV rays can significantly damage your boat's gelcoat and other surfaces. Applying a protective layer helps safeguard the gelcoat and metals, preserving their new appearance and lustrous finish. Contact our boat detailing experts today for more information on maintaining your vessel's beauty.
  • What are your services?

    We provide a comprehensive range of professional marine services to ensure your boat stays protected, well-maintained, and visually appealing. Our offerings include canvas and upholstery work, marine care management, boat detailing, fiberglass and gelcoat repair, sanding and bottom painting, as well as shrink wrapping for seasonal protection.
  • How does wax differ from other sealants?

    Traditional wax was designed to create a protective layer on surfaces. As technology has advanced, newer coatings have been developed that chemically bond to the surface. While wax coatings gradually wear away, bonded sealants offer longer-lasting protection. Our exceptional boat detailing services can help you choose the best option for your vessel.
  • What does the sun do to gelcoat?

    Gelcoat, a material commonly used in boat construction for its attractive finish, requires proper maintenance to prevent oxidation. Its porous nature makes it susceptible to UV ray absorption. Without adequate protection, UV rays break down the gelcoat, resulting in oxidation that leaves the surface looking chalky and unattractive.
  • Why is preventative maintenance important?

    Applying protective waxes and sealants is essential for boat maintenance. Once oxidation begins, restoring the surface to its original condition becomes a two-step process, rather than a simple maintenance procedure. Contact us today to start a preventative maintenance plan with our boat detailing services.
  • How do ceramic coatings compare to wax coatings?

    Ceramic coatings offer superior durability compared to wax. While wax forms a layer over the gelcoat or other surfaces, ceramic coatings chemically bond to the surface. This bonding allows ceramic coatings to withstand environmental elements longer than traditional waxes. However, it's important to note that ceramic coatings still require regular maintenance from professional boat canvas and upholstery experts. Contact T's Marine Co. for prompt service and expert advice.

  • What are wash programs?

    Wash programs are valuable maintenance services that involve weekly or bi-weekly cleaning of your boat. These programs include a thorough cleaning from top to bottom, wiping out hatch gutters, drying, and ensuring the overall pristine appearance of your vessel. Regular wash programs also allow for consistent upkeep of waxing and sealants, providing continuous protection against the elements. Let us assist you with our comprehensive boat detailing services.
