Marine specific coatings on gelcoat, glass and trailers. Salt, sun and spray are exactly what we build for.
5 min 30 sec
Salt water, constant UV and marina grime are harder on a hull than anything a car ever sees. A ceramic coating on gelcoat and painted surfaces means salt and grime release with a rinse instead of a scrub, and the finish keeps its gloss right through a Queensland summer.
Marine work uses marine specific products rather than the automotive range. The shorter warranty terms are not a lesser product, they reflect how much harder salt water immersion is on any coating than road use is. We coat the hull and topsides, hardtops and consoles, stainless rails and fittings, glass, and the trailer that lives in salt water and never gets a thought until it starts to go.
Every marine job is quoted on the vessel, because surface area and the condition of the gelcoat differ every time. Nothing goes on over dead gelcoat, so if the surface needs cutting back first we will tell you before you commit to anything.
Grime and salt sit on the coating rather than bonding to the gelcoat, so the rinse after a day out stops being a scrub.
UV breaks the resin down at the surface and turns the colour flat and chalky. The coating takes that load first.
A hard, slick surface keeps depth and shine through a full Queensland season on the water.
Painted topsides, hardtops, consoles, stainless, glass and the trailer can all be done in the same visit.
Marine specific products, not the automotive range, because salt water is a different job to road use.
Send us the make, the length and a few photos and we will come back with an honest quote and a realistic turnaround. No pressure, and we will tell you if the gelcoat needs cutting back first.
Make, length and a few photos of the gelcoat is usually all we need to get started.
We quote on the vessel, not off a list, and tell you honestly what it needs.
Bring it to the Arundel workshop on the trailer and our specialists take it from there.
Rinse and go. Salt and grime release instead of bonding, season after season.
Boats are quoted individually, because surface area and the condition of the gelcoat differ every time. The shorter warranty terms are not a lesser product, they reflect how much harder salt water immersion is on any coating than road use is.
Cabin glass, hardtop windows and windscreens. On the water there is nowhere to hide from the sun, and the glare coming back off the surface doubles what you are dealing with. Tinting cuts the heat inside the cabin, takes the edge off the glare, and slows the fade on upholstery, dash and trim.
Every legal shade is the same price, the same as it is on a car. Bring the boat past the Arundel workshop on the trailer and we will quote it on the glass.
The things owners ask us most before booking.
Boats are quoted individually. Surface area and the condition of the gelcoat differ every time, so there is no useful list price. Send us the make, the length and a few photos and we will give you a real number.
Because salt water immersion is far harder on any coating than road use. XPEL Fusion Plus Marine carries three years and Kovalent Revive Marine three to five. The shorter terms are not a lesser product, they reflect the conditions.
Kovalent Revive Marine is the one most owners land on, because the longer term suits a boat that lives on a mooring or gets used hard. XPEL Fusion Plus Marine is the value option and still a genuine marine coating.
Yes, and they are one of the best candidates for it. Hull, deck and painted surfaces, and we can do the trailer at the same time. Same marine products as a boat, smaller job.
Not straight over the top. Oxidised gelcoat has to be cut back first or the coating locks the dullness in. We will tell you what it needs before you commit to anything.
Yes. The trailer spends its life in salt water and is usually the part nobody thinks about, so it is worth doing at the same time.
It will not stop it landing, but it stops it bonding. Salt and grime release with a rinse instead of a scrub, which is most of the value on a boat that actually gets used.
No. Marine work uses marine specific products, because the automotive range is not built for salt water immersion.
Yes. Cabin glass, hardtop windows and windscreens. It cuts the heat and the glare in a space with nowhere to hide from either, and every legal shade is the same price.

"Wonderful work from both Shannon and Aiden! Had my car tinted with Evolve IR, ceramic coating and interior protection and am very happy with the results. The boys were very easy to deal with and delivered everything they had promised. Fantastic attention to detail and the results look brilliant."
"Had my Lamborghini Gallardo done at Prestige Protection recently – paint correction and ceramic coating. To be honest, I'm so pleased with the outcome. The paint was showing its age, some swirl marks, the usual. They took care of it. The finish is noticeably improved. Deeper color, cleaner look, and the water beads right off."

"I had my S3 tinted and ceramic coated by Prestige Protection, and I’m beyond impressed with how it looks!
