Frequently Asked Questions About Marine Grade Ceramic Coatings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For yacht owners and captains, investing in ceramic coatings for their yachts can be a little challenging and overwhelming. The idea of ceramic coating may be a little new to you, but don\u2019t worry, we are here to help. Starke Yacht Care compiled a few commonly asked questions when someone like you is ready to invest in ceramic coating for their yacht. What is Ceramic Coating?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ceramic coatings are a relatively new addition to the yacht & boat detailing world, but are far from a new science. Specifically, ceramic coatings are neatly ordered arrangements of Silicon (Si) and Oyxgen (O) atoms in a 3D polymeric framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This nano-ordering causes a highly durable, glass-like coating to form that is responsible for greatly increased durability, chemical and stain resistance, UV stability and hydrophobic properties. Ceramic coatings allow for an easier to maintain finish that is more maintenance friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it Last Long?<\/h3>
\n

From the abrasiveness of seawater to rough weather patterns, yachts experience harsh conditions. The length of the coating depends on two things\u2014the elements and maintenance. The life expectancy is really a function of the itinerary for the vessel, factoring in where it lives, how much it\u2019s fished\/used and if its using our maintenance products and plan. Other factors and characteristics include whether it\u2019s gel coat or paint and if so, what type, what age? A basic generalization would to reevaluate and possibly reapply after 12 to 24 months.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How Much Coating is Needed to Be Effective?<\/h3>
\n

Determining the amount of ceramic coating for yachts isn\u2019t an exact science. There are several mitigating factors, such as the length and width of your boat and super-structure size. Initially, we recommend 50ml per every 100 square ft of your boat, with at least two coats for the interior and hull of your yacht. Our team will first inspect the size of your boat and then craft a plan that would work best for the vessel.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wouldn\u2019t I Save Money If I Applied it Myself?<\/h3>
\n

Applying ceramic coating on a yacht requires many steps. If you miss one, then you jeopardize the bonding properties of the coating and this, in turn, may lead to poor performance or failure of the coating. Having the ceramic coating done professionally means that if something goes wrong it will be corrected. Starke Yacht Care offers a 12 month guarantee on the work completed by our certified applicators.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How Long Does It Take?<\/h3>
\n

On a larger yacht, you may spend several days on preparation work. Applying one coat may take up to several hours. You will need to make sure the conditions are appropriate if working outdoors. Weather may be a factor and delay the process if the boat is not under cover.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why Should I Use Starke Yacht Care Products<\/h3>
\n

What\u2019s great about our STARKE product line is that it was developed by a professional yacht detailer working very closely with chemists and the manufacturer. Paint rejuvenation and reconditioning can save yachts owners hundreds of thousands of dollars by not having to repaint. Repel Pro has proven itself as one of the industries top performing marine grade ceramic coatings that is capable of locking in the high gloss finish brought about from the STARKE compound and polishing system for 2-3 years.
<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What you\u2019re paying for when you have a coating professionally installed?<\/h3>
\n

Coatings are a justifiably more expensive option than most waxes or sealants. They require extensive preparation of the surfaces being applied to, including the paintwork being polished and the coating being properly applied and cured. Any pre-existing damage, such as scratches and swirls, much also be addressed prior to the coating application, as they cannot be removed after the fact without removing the coating – which can involve heavy compounding or even wet sanding.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
