![]() It's going to be a lot cheaper than a ceramic job, but they're spending three to four hours where we would come to a job on a boat like this and we're going to spend three to four days on your boat. Whiz down, come back, put a wax on it and they are done. They're going to be there for three to four hours on a hull. More often than not, somebody is going to come to the boat, a boat like this here, they're going to run past it once with compound and then they're going to come back and they're going to put a wax on. Cost and Time RequiredĪnother main difference in a wax job to a ceramic job is most of the time you're going to pay a cheaper price to get the wax done. We know that salt with a mixture of sun is what causes most of the problems in the marine industry, specifically here in South Florida. So I can come and hose the boat down with water and I'm going to rinse the surface free of all that salt. preventing that.īut it's also making it super easy to clean. And this allows us to help from the salt getting into the pores, helping from sun damage creating that oxidization. Protecting the gel coat, paint, or whatever surface that its going on. ![]() Whereas the ceramic coating is going to fill in the pores of the gel coat and the when it cures, it's going to solidify, creating a hard barrier. So, each time you use the boat, you come and rinse it down, wash it, you're effectively taking some of that protection off of the surface making it more susceptible to salt and sun damage, creating oxidization. It sits on top and it doesn't bond with the surface. Wax is not really going to fill in the pores as much as a ceramic coating is. It will protect to an extent, but it doesn't do a very effective job. One of the biggest differences is a wax is a very temporary solution to an ongoing problem in owning a boat. They're trying to figure out why to switch to ceramic coatings. ![]() Christian Westhorpe: Alright, so another question that we get often is "what's the difference between a ceramic coating and a wax?" Because people have been using wax on their boat for a long time and they're used to that routine.
