A-Glaze Approved Detailer 

 Our detailing experience also extends to Yachts, we have spent a few years testing on gelcoat and are pleased to anounce that we have mastered a technique to restore faded and dirty paintwork to better than original finish. 

Our specialist Detailing service goes much further than simply cleaning your yacht, and is more important than simple aesthetic appeal. As a boat owner it's a constant battle against the elements. Sun, sea and salt water constantly attacks your paint, gel coat, metal, leather, vinyl and glass in a very harsh environment. Regularly washing off salt with fresh water goes a long way towards preventing unnecessary erosion, however preventative protection will not only keep your yacht glistening, it will extend its life and reduce depreciation.

Marine A Glaze has developed a Superyacht Glaze which is used for painted surfaces only. Our aim is to protect the painted surfaces which have an extremely thin layer of paint as well as enhance the finish thus reducing maintenance costs throughout the season. This is totally different from our regular A Glaze sealant as it has been tested by large paint manufacturers for warranty purposes.

If you are treating a superyacht that is made from GRP you will need to buy the Marine Glaze Active in 1 litre bottles which has been upgraded for professional use making it easier to apply with the mop system.

Superyachts of this nature are normally chartered and always need to be looking their best at all times. A Glaze can achieve this after one application with a top up inspection annually.

We are pleased to report that Awlgrip paints have tested our products and have concluded that the A Glaze system does not damage or harm their paint system.

For maximum shine NOTHING compares to the A-Glaze Surface Protection System. In fact A-Glaze delivers a shine that is up to 50% more brilliant than the rest. Most importantly, it's the only 5 polymer resin that bites in and then bonds to the surface to a depth of 5/7 microns and forms a tough crystal clear barrier which protects against extreme UV exposure plus other environmental hazards. It will withstand temperatures in excess of 300f. This is a product that will save you considerable cost in re-spraying and time out from personal use and charter.

Leather upholstery and interior trim is very durable when it is dry. Care must be taken, however, when wet cleaning leather. The use of conventional leather cleaners is often problematic, since they contain solvents, which accelerate leather ageing and may possibly even remove dyes.

Refresh leather colours.
Seats, upholstery, side mouldings and steering wheels start to show signs of wear, even in well cared for boats and yachts, that spoil one’s overall impression.  Dyes are simply applied with a small sponge. The dye sets automatically and permanently, without leaving a heavy layer of pigment as is often the case with other sprayed-on leather tintings.

We were contacted in 2006 by a company in the states to undertake detailing work on a Mega-Yacht , which was docked in a private marina in the Caribbean , this is the most exiting experience we have encounted  and has taken Autoshine to the very highest level possible in the detailing world.

In March 2008 we were contacted by an officer on board a large vessel in the Seychelles, the hull on their yacht had sustained severe black staining from the exhaust fumes, the pictures below show the damage and finished result. We restored the hull and sealed the paintwork to prevent this happening again. If anyone has any similar problems with their paintwork then we can supply a reference from the officer on board this vessel.
