Oxidation Removal

What this service addresses

Oxidation shows up as a hazy, whitish film that leaves chalk on your hand and makes dark hull colors look washed out. It is surface degradation, not dirt, so it has to be removed mechanically.

What the work involves

• Inspection to gauge how deep the oxidation runs across different panels
• Compounding with the least aggressive combination that still removes the layer
• Extra care on high-exposure areas such as the transom, rails and sun-facing side
• Polishing to remove compound haze and restore clarity
• Guidance on how to slow the return of oxidation on a boat kept outdoors

How this gets quoted

We cannot price oxidation removal from a description alone, because the amount of work scales with the size of the boat and how far the surface has gone. Send the boat type, approximate length and a short description of the condition, add photos if you have them, and we will quote the work for your boat specifically.

1. Pick a time. Choose an appointment on the booking calendar. Calendly asks what we need to know. Nothing is charged to book.
2. Text photos of the boat. We review them and confirm the final price with you before the appointment.
3. We come to the boat. We schedule a time and perform the work at your dock, slip or storage location. No trailering required.

What we need on site

Access to the boat and to the slip or dock, and a note about whether water and power are available where the boat is kept. Tell us when you book if they are not, and we will plan the visit around it.
