Grandville, MI’s Industry Leading Boat Ceramic Coatings

UNMATCHED SHINE WITH GTECHNIQ MARINE CERAMIC COATINGS


When it comes to keeping your boat in peak condition, the experts at The Detail Collective deliver industry-leading marine ceramic coating services to help the cause! Our Gtechniq Marine 2-layer ceramic coating system provided at our Grandville location creates a durable, high-gloss finish for your boat. This glossy sheen is built to last. Designed specifically for the unique challenges of marine environments, this ceramic coating forms a hard shell over your boat’s gelcoat or painted surfaces, defending against UV ray exposure, surface oxidation, and levels of grime. Unlike traditional waxes or sealants, our ceramic coating bonds to the surfaces it gets applied to, offering long-term results and reducing the need for constant reapplication.

Effortless Cleaning and Long-Lasting Gloss


Boats exposed to water, sun, and frequent use can quickly lose their shine and become magnets for dirt, algae, and other contaminants. The Detail Collective’s boat ceramic coatings come into play here! With excellent hydrophobic surface properties, this protective layer repels water, dirt, and organic buildup, keeping your boat cleaner for longer and significantly cutting down on wash time. The high-gloss finish not only enhances your boat’s appearance but also makes cleaning up after a day on the water easier than ever. Say goodbye to hours of washing and hello to a boat that shines with minimal effort!

Easier Cleaning and Maintenance

One of the biggest advantages of our boat ceramic coating package is how much easier it makes cleaning your boat. The hydrophobic surface actively repels water, dirt, algae, and other grime that would normally cling to your boat’s exterior. This not only reduces the time and effort required to wash your boat, but also helps minimize the need for intense work or the use of harsh chemicals during regular maintenance efforts.

High-Gloss Showroom Shine 

A professionally applied boat ceramic coating does not just reinforce your boat’s surfaces, it enhances its appearance with a mirror-like shine. The Gtechniq Marine ceramic coating levels out surface imperfections and brings out the color depth of your boat's finish, whether it is painted or gel coated. This glossy, slick surface maintains that “freshly detailed” look long after application, with minimal upkeep required on your part. We love making your life as a boat owner easier!

UV and Environmental Resistance

Sunlight, water minerals, and natural environmental contaminants can all take a toll on your boat’s various surfaces. The Detail Collective’s ceramic coating offers superior UV resistance, helping to prevent fading and discoloration caused by extended sun exposure on various bodies of water. It also protects against organic buildup like algae and bird droppings, which can stain and degrade unprotected surfaces over time.

Boat Ceramic Coating Myths Debunked by The Detail Collective

  • Myth 1: Ceramic coating is just an expensive wax

    This is one of the most common misconceptions about boat ceramic coatings. These types of coatings are not wax at all, they are nanotechnology-based formulas that bond to the surface of your boat at a molecular level. While wax sits on top and wears off quickly, ceramic coatings provide much longer-lasting protection and do not require frequent reapplication.

  • Myth 2: Ceramic coatings make your boat scratch-proof

    While boat ceramic coatings offer impressive surface hardness, they are not a substitute for physical impact protection whatsoever. Your boat will still need to be handled with care to avoid scratches or defects caused by dock contact or debris. However, ceramic coatings do help reduce micro-marring and swirl marks caused by contamination.

  • Myth 3: Ceramic coatings are unnecessary for freshwater environments

    Some believe a ceramic coating is only beneficial for saltwater boats, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. The benefits of hydrophobicity, UV resistance, and surface protection apply equally in freshwater environments like those around Michigan. Your boat still faces sun exposure, algae, bird droppings, and oxidation, all of which ceramic coatings help prevent.

  • Myth 4: You do not need a ceramic coating on a new boat

    Even brand-new boats are vulnerable to the elements. Applying ceramic coatings early on helps preserve the factory finish of your boat, maintains its gloss, and prevents the premature aging of your gelcoat or paint. At The Detail Collective, we recommend coating your boat as soon as possible to lock in that fresh-from-the-showroom look.
