Marine Ceramic Base

Description

Why use Gtechniq Ceramic Base?

Ceramic Base forms a protective barrier which is extremely hard and exceptionally durable. This makes it very effective at preventing swirling and minor scratching from poor washing techniques. With great gloss retention, Ceramic Base becomes the functional surface of the gelcoat and painted surfaces.

• Perfect – If applying directly to Gelcoat or topcoat, polish the surface to remove any imperfections.
• Degrease – Ceramic Top bonds best to surgically clean surfaces. Use Gtechniq Panel Wipe and a Gtechniq MF1 Microfibre to remove all polish residue.
• Application – Soak the application pad with product. Spread onto an area measuring no more than 2′ by 2′ (60 x 60cm) and remove residue with a Gtechniq MF1 Microfibre.

Product Usage – The amount of product you will need will vary depending on factors such as the microporosity of either your gel coat or marine topcoat. The amount of product required will be anywhere between 5.5 to 7ml/square meter (0.5 to 0.7 ml/square foot).

If opened, use within 3 months, if unopened, use within 12 months

Harsh saltwater, UV rays, and marine pollutants can quickly degrade gelcoat, painted surfaces, and metal trim. Marine Ceramic Base creates a long-lasting protective barrier, shielding the painted surfacesof your vessel from oxidation, staining, and UV fade while making cleaning much easier.Marine Ceramic Base is a high-performance ceramic coating designed for boats and watercraft. It provides ultra-durable protection on gelcoat and paint, delivering superior resistance to salt, UV, and environmental contaminants.Yes—unlike traditional waxes, Marine Ceramic Base chemically bonds to surfaces for extended durability and better performance. It offers stronger protection against oxidation, fouling, and sun exposure, with a much longer lifespan.When applied correctly, Marine Ceramic Base provides protection that lasts up to 18 months or more, depending on usage and conditions. It maintains water-repellent and UV-resistant properties throughout its lifespan.Marine Ceramic Base is intended for above-the-waterline use, such as topsides and superstructures. For below-waterline protection, antifouling-specific solutions should be used.Yes—Marine Ceramic Base significantly reduces the amount of dirt, salt, and grime that bonds to your boat. This means fewer harsh washes and less elbow grease, helping maintain your vessel’s appearance with minimal effort.Absolutely. It is safe for gelcoat and all painted surfaces. It enhances gloss on polished surfaces while forming a hydrophobic, protective layer that won’t alter colour or texture.Use pH-neutral boat wash such as Gtechniq Marine UV Wash and soft wash mitts or microfibre cloths or the Marine Aftercare Kit. Avoid abrasive cleaners, and periodically top up with a Marine Fast Coat or Marine Rinse-on-Ceramic to keep the surface slick and protected.
