Gtechniq Accredited Protection Systems

As a Gtechniq Accredited Studio, we utilize professional-grade surface protection systems designed for high-exposure environments.

Marine protection options may include:

• UV-resistant ceramic protection systems
• Marine glass protection
• Hydrophobic surface treatments
• Long-term environmental defense systems

Proper preparation is required before any ceramic system is applied.

We treat marine surfaces with the same structured process as automotive — adapted for marine environments.

Your boat faces harsher conditions than your vehicle — UV exposure, oxidation, waterline buildup, and mineral deposits.
Our marine detailing services are designed to restore, protect, and preserve your vessel properly — not just rinse it off. At In N Out Auto Wash, marine services follow a structured prep → restoration → protection process designed to preserve gelcoat and marine finishes properly.

No pressure-washer shortcuts.
No chalky gelcoat left untreated.
No temporary shine.

Why Marine Detailing Is Different

Boat finishes (gelcoat and marine paint) require:

  • Controlled decontamination

  • Oxidation removal

  • Proper compounding and polishing

  • UV-resistant protection systems

  • Maintenance planning

Improper cleaning causes:

  1. Faded gelcoat

  2. Surface chalking

  3. Premature oxidation

  4. Reduced resale value

Which Marine Exterior Service Levels Is Right for My Boat?

Every vessel falls into one of three categories based on surface condition, oxidation level, and exposure. Use this guide to determine where your boat currently stands.

LEVEL 1 — Marine Wash & Surface Reset

You’re likely Level 1 if:

✔ Your gelcoat still looks glossy in direct sunlight
✔ The surface feels smooth to the touch
✔ There is no chalky residue when you wipe it
✔ Water still beads somewhat on the surface
✔ You’re simply maintaining your boat during boating season

What this means:
Your vessel needs professional cleaning and routine maintenance — not restoration.

This level focuses on safe washing and preserving existing condition.

LEVEL 2 — Decontamination & UV Protection

You’re likely Level 2 if:

✔ Gloss looks slightly dull in certain lighting
✔ Water does not bead consistently
✔ You see light oxidation beginning
✔ Your boat sits outdoors regularly
✔ You want seasonal protection before damage progresses

What this means:
Your vessel needs protective defense and surface refinement before oxidation becomes severe.

This level slows UV damage and restores surface clarity.

LEVEL 3 — Oxidation Removal & Restoration

You’re likely Level 3 if:

✔ The surface feels chalky or rough
✔ You notice visible fading or white haze
✔ Gelcoat looks cloudy or uneven
✔ Water no longer beads at all
✔ It’s been several seasons since professional polishing

What this means:
Your vessel requires corrective restoration — not just cleaning.

This level removes oxidation and restores depth before applying long-term protection.
