- • **Surface prep is critical**: Before ceramic applies, the hull must be completely clean and oxidation-free. We include professional detailing in the process. Skip detailing and ceramic won't bond properly or will peel in months.
- • **Application is meticulous**: Ceramic goes on in sections (15–20 square feet at a time) in dry, cool conditions. Rain or humidity during application ruins the cure. We schedule around Lake Norman weather and apply early morning before afternoon heat and sun.
- • **Cure and protection**: After application, the boat cannot hit water for 48 hours. Ceramic hardens into a durable shell. Your hull becomes water-resistant—droplets bead and roll off instead of spotting.
