Over the years I’ve seen thousands of boats in every size, color, and condition imaginable, and to most boaters (myself included) there’s nothing better than seeing a brand new boat gleaming with deep, rich colors that catch your eye and draw you in for a closer look.
Fast forward a few years and that eye-popping boat might not be as dazzling as it once was. Over time, that same fiberglass gelcoat finish becomes dull, faded, and less vibrant. Why does this happen? The primary reason is oxidation. Even though gelcoat, the outermost layer of the hull, feels smooth to the touch, it’s actually a semi-porous mix of polyester resins and various pigments that are constantly under attack from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays, extreme heat and cold, salt, dirt, and airborne fallout. With all of these environmental factors, oxidation will occur if the gelcoat finish isn’t protected with a chemical bonding protectant (either carnauba or polymer-based wax) that slows or halts the oxidation process. As if this isn’t bad enough, hot and cold temperature fluctuations force your hull to expand and contract over time, further compromising the finish of your boat by creating an even more porous surface.
When new, gelcoat has a smooth and flat surface that reflects light like a mirror. But as the sun beats down, the ultraviolet rays begin eroding the gelcoat molecules until they break-off, creating microscopic peaks and valleys. This rougher surface now refracts light at various undefined angles, losing that mirror-effect and making your boat look dull, faded, and cloudy.
