Malibu Wakesurf
This Malibu Wakesurf came to us looking weathered from regular lake use. After a full detailing and multi-stage paint correction, we restored the gel coat to its original shine and clarity - ready to turn heads at Maple Lake.
Marine Paint Correction and Detailing Process
Working on a Malibu Wakesurf requires a different approach than automotive detailing. We started with a thorough wash and decontamination to remove embedded salt, algae, and mineral deposits that accumulate on watercraft. The gel coat had oxidation and light swirl marks from previous care attempts, so we moved into a two-stage paint correction process using marine-grade compounds and pads. We took our time around the decals and trim to avoid damage - boats have more delicate graphics than most vehicles. Throughout the process, we kept the craft wet to prevent streaking and water spotting. The whole job was completed in one day, but that's only because of our experience with marine surfaces and efficient workflow.

Restored Clarity and Gloss on the Gel Coat
The difference was dramatic. The gel coat went from chalky and dull to having real depth and shine again. Swirl marks disappeared, and the white hull now has the gloss it should have. We finished with a marine sealant that'll give the owner protection against UV damage and water spots through the boating season. The owner was excited to get back on the lake - this boat looks like new again.
