Video 01 – Marine Ceramic Coating Product Overview

We have our Marine Ceramic Coating here that’s been specifically designed to apply to marine gelcoats, paints, and metal surfaces. This product is developed in South Florida and optimized to be applied and used in a marine environment and withstand the harsh environment of salt and sun exposure that your boat is going to get. This product is going to give you up to 18 months protection leaving the surface extremely hydrophobic giving you incredible gloss to the surface and make overall maintenance much easier on your boat. It comes in a variety sizes. We have as small as 50ml up to 250ml here. On the 50ml size you’re going to get about 60SQFT of coverage. That allows for two coats. And then on the 250ml size, you’re getting roughly 300 SQFT of coverage.

It's important to note that with the marine ceramic coating, is this product does not hide or remove oxidization. So this must be removed before applying the ceramic coating. This is designed to enhance and lock in the current condition of the surface. It will not hide or cover up any imperfections.

Marine Ceramic Coating Benefits:

  • Creates a hard barrier that protects up to 18 months
  • Better-than-new finish, increasing gloss and shine
  • Creates a super hydrophobic surface
  • UV protection prevents fading and oxidization
  • Protect and enhance gelcoat, paint and metal surfaces
  • Maintenances is a breeze

Video 02 – Heavy Cut Compound Product Overview
Here we have our Heavy Cut Compound and this is for removing very severe, heavy oxidation, and swirl marks from the surface. This is equivalent to 600-800 grit sandpaper, so it is very aggressive on the surface. Best used with a wool pad and a rotary buffer.

Heavy Cut Compound Benefits:

  • Ideal for removing medium to heavy oxidization
  • Removes deep swirls, scratches and heavy watermarks
  • Provides a fast cut – equivalent to 600-800 grit sandpaper

  • Contains no wax or silicone

Video 03 – Nano Compound Product Overview
We’ve got our Nano Compound. This is a medium cut compound, ideal for removing medium to light oxidization and swirl marks from the surface. This is a 1500 grit cutting compound, but it has diminishing abrasives, so the more that you work it into the surface, the more it will smooth out and leave a great shine and finish.

Nano Compound Benefits:

  • Ideal for removing medium to light oxidization
  • Removes swirl marks, scratches and watermarks
  • Medium cut – equivalent to 1500-2000 grit sandpaper

Video 04 – Nano Polish Product Overview
Here we have our Nano Polish and this is a product for finishing. It has little to no abrasion to it. Ideally used after using the Nano Compound or for newer boats as the one and only step. This is going to remove light swirl marks and scratches from the surface and very moderate or very light oxidization. This is designed to smooth the surface out and increase the shine while getting it ready for ceramic coating.

Nano Polish Benefits:

  • Light abrasive – removes light swirl marks and scratches
  • Finishing polish
  • Increases gloss and creates a smooth surface
  • Ideal for gel coat, clear coat, paint, chrome, glass and more
  • Contains no wax, silicone or fillers
  • Best used with a foam pad and a DA polisher

Video 05 – Nano Wash Product Overview
Here we have our Nano Wash. This is a pH neutral soap that’s going to give you a lot of suds. Can be used in a foam cannon as well as just being put into a wash bucket. This is ideal for using before applying a ceramic coating, but can also be used after applying a ceramic coating.

Nano Wash Benefits:

  • pH neutral
  • Safe for use on ceramic coatings and sealants
  • High foam content – great for use in a foam cannon

Video 06 – RPL Product Overview
We have one of our newest products here – RPL. It stands for Repellent Protective Layer. This product is designed to specifically deal with exhaust stains and soot on the surface as well as black streaks. This product is a top coat after you have already applied some protection on the surface, whether it be our Marine Ceramic Coating or our Ceramic Spray – Shine & Shield. And this, like I said, is a top layer that’s going to provide that stain resistance. It’s an oleophobic product that resists the oils that are in exhaust stains and the black streaks making it much easier to clean by simply wiping off with a wet rag.

This product is very easy to apply. You use a microfiber applicator and put a little bit onto the sponge. Wipe it up and down, side to side in a 3’ section and lightly buff it to a uniform finish. Only one coat is required.

RPL Benefits:

  • Say goodbye to black streaks and exhaust stains
  • Final top-coat enhances the self-cleaning of the surface
  • Exposure to natural light chemically breaks down dirt & contaminants
  • Creates an oleophobic surface (oil repellent)
  • Extremely hydrophilic – sheets water carrying away dirt & contaminants

Video 07 – Glass Ceramic Coating Product Overview
We have our Glass Ceramic Coating here and this product is specifically designed to be applied to any glass surface. Whether we are dealing with marine glass, automotive, RV, home or Eisenglass.

  • Lasts up to 12 months

Video 08 – Vinyl Ceramic Coating Product Overview
We have our vinyl ceramic coating here. This product is excellent! It’s a ceramic coating designed specifically for vinyl cushions. And the difference between this product and a ceramic coating you would be applying to your paint, is this is going to allow the material to still maintain its flexibility. So this is a flexible coating and is ideal for surfaces that are soft and they are going to expand or contract over the course of time. So this won’t alter the feel or the softness of vinyl cushions but it will protect it from UV damage, fading, salt exposure and moisture from getting into the surface.

Vinyl Ceramic Coating Benefits:

  • Protects and enhances the appearance of vinyl cushions
  • UV protection to reduce fading
  • Creates a hydrophobic surface to help reduce staining and mold
  • Flexible coating allows the vinyl cushions to expand and contract

This is allowing us to fill the pores and properly give you that length of protection and durability for the marine market. This product is going to make the surface super hydrophobic and very slick and add a lot of gloss. It’s a very simple spray-on / wipe-off application. And this can also be used as a maintenance product for the Marine Ceramic Coating.

It's important to note that this product does not remove oxidization so the surface does need to be properly buffed and prepped before applying the coating.
