Gelcoat Protection Options - conversation with a customer about my preference for GLARE PROFESSIONAL POLISH

So, a potential customer asked me today if there was a boat at the marina that he could see the final finish on to give him an idea of what the final GLARE Gelcoat Protection would look like and how it holds up after time.

I said "sure, there is one on the next finger from your boat" and gave him the details to have a look. I also pointed out that it was done three months ago and they never wash the boat.

He had a look and emailed me back asking which product it was that i used, so the following is the extract of the exact conversation i wrote in a return email to him.


Hi Bob

The product i used on John's boat was the GLARE PROFESSIONAL POLISH and i applied only one coat but usually i apply two coats to warranty the work.

The first coat being GLARE and the second coat is GLARE ADVANCED.

To be quite honest i have only ever used the GLARE products on cars, boats and aircraft for the last ten year and i have only started offering wax and basic ceramic options lately to give the market all the options to suit their budget.

I pride myself on being a specialist who can back up my GLARE work with a warranty which is one year for boats, three years for aircraft and five years on cars. 

 Here is the boat after 3 months with only one coat of Glare Professional Polish


I use the same processes for each and the products stay on the surface longer than the warranty and only requires a top-up every cycle.

The top-up is usually half the price of the original application as there is no need to cut or polish the boat again. Long term it saves you money and saves the gelcoat from constant cutting.

Effectively you are just polishing in more product into the surface and the heat/friction causes a coverlet bond and it becomes part of the surface rather than sitting on the surface. It is rock hard but is flexible and can breathe too.

It can also be taken off the surface if required and you can paint over it or do gelcoat repairs without removing it. It is truly ahead of its time and quite mind-bending stuff.

Take a look at this link to see a few of the boats i have done, all of them using the glare system and all of them get better every year as the gelcoat sheds its contaminants through the product and the top-up re-seals the surface.

Note also that there are no new boats in the below pictures, most are over ten years old and were faded and chalky.
