Your boat is more than just a vessel; it’s your escape, your passion, and a significant investment. Here in Okeechobee, where the sun is relentless and the water calls, protecting that investment is paramount. Constant exposure to UV rays, saltwater, algae, and scum can rapidly degrade your boat’s gelcoat, leaving it faded, oxidized, and chalky. It’s a battle every boat owner faces.
At Nunez Customs, we offer the ultimate solution: a professional-grade Boat Ceramic Coating service designed to provide years of unparalleled protection and a stunning, better-than-new shine. We shield your vessel from the harsh Florida elements, making maintenance easier and ensuring your boat turns heads on Lake Okeechobee and beyond.
We don’t just detail your boat; we protect your pride and joy with a level of care passed down through generations.
Water beads up and slides right off the surface, taking dirt, salt, and fish grime with it. This "self-cleaning" effect keeps your boat cleaner for longer.
The Florida sun is brutal. Our ceramic coatings contain powerful UV inhibitors that act like a permanent sunscreen for your boat, preventing the oxidation and fading that turns a vibrant gelcoat chalky and dull.
Creates a shield against saltwater corrosion, algae, water spots, exhaust stains, and chemical damage.
A ceramic coating fills in the microscopic pores of your gelcoat, creating a perfectly smooth surface that reflects light with incredible intensity. The result is a deep, wet-look gloss that makes your boat's colors pop.
While wax lasts for a season at best, a professionally applied ceramic coating can last for years with proper maintenance, making it a smart, long-term investment.
Spend more time on the water and less time scrubbing. Our ceramic coating prevents grime from bonding to the surface, so cleaning your boat is quicker, easier, and requires fewer harsh chemicals.
At Nunez Customs, our commitment to exceptional detailing is deeply rooted in family tradition. Our slogan, “We Baby Your Car”—and by extension, your boat—is inspired by the values passed down from my parents, who built Nunez Lawn Care over 20 years ago with the philosophy, “We Baby Your Lawn.” Their approach was simple but powerful: treat every client’s property with care, precision, and a personal touch.
Growing up right here in Okeechobee, I witnessed firsthand the impact of dedication, integrity, and building trust with clients. My parents weren’t just maintaining lawns—they were nurturing them, ensuring every detail was perfect. That same principle of excellence inspired me to create my own path in the auto and marine detailing industry.
I started with just a bucket, a sponge, and a determination to succeed. Over time, I realized that detailing is more than just cleaning—it’s about precision, protection, and restoration. Every boat we work on receives that same level of care and attention. We bring this family legacy to the docks, treating your vessel with the meticulous care it deserves.
Forget everything you know about traditional wax. While wax sits on the surface and wears away in a few short months, a ceramic coating is completely different.
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer infused with silica dioxide (SiO2) that is professionally applied to your boat’s exterior surfaces. Through a chemical reaction, it forms a covalent bond with the gelcoat, creating a semi-permanent, transparent shell of protection. This nano-coating is harder, more durable, and vastly more resistant to the elements than any wax or sealant. It becomes a sacrificial, protective layer that shields the factory finish from damage.
Precision is everything. A flawless, long-lasting finish can only be achieved through a meticulous, multi-stage process. Rushing the prep work is not the Nunez Customs way.
We begin with a thorough, pH-neutral wash to remove all surface-level dirt, salt, and grime. We use specialized cleaners to break down any existing, low-grade waxes or sealants.
We use iron fallout removers and a clay bar treatment to pull embedded contaminants from the pores of the gelcoat. This step is critical for ensuring the coating can bond directly to the surface.
This is where the magic happens. To create a perfect finish, we must first remove any imperfections. Using professional machine polishers, we perform one or more stages of compounding and polishing to eliminate oxidation, light scratches, and swirl marks. This restores the original color and creates a flawless canvas for the coating.
Immediately before application, we wipe down every surface with a special-purpose solution to remove any polishing oils. This ensures a sterile surface, which is essential for a strong, durable bond.
With the surface perfected, we meticulously apply the ceramic coating by hand, one small section at a time. We carefully monitor temperature and humidity to ensure optimal application and bonding.
The coating needs to cure to harden and fully bond. We will provide you with detailed instructions on care during the initial curing period to ensure maximum durability.
Whether you have a brand-new fishing boat, a family pontoon for cruising Lake Okeechobee, or a high-performance vessel, a ceramic coating is one of the best investments you can make. You are a perfect candidate if:
This service is ideal for all boat surfaces, including fiberglass, gelcoat, painted surfaces, and even metal hardware.
Wax is an organic product that sits on top of the surface and breaks down in 2-4 months. A ceramic coating is an inorganic nano-coating that forms a chemical bond with the surface, making it far more durable and protective.
With proper maintenance, our professional coatings can last anywhere from 1 to 5+ years, depending on the package you choose and how the boat is stored and used.
Absolutely! In fact, it's one of the best ways to restore an older boat. Our gelcoat correction process will remove years of oxidation and fade, and the coating will lock in that restored finish.
