Boat Compound & Wax - Fort Lauderdale
Multi-stage compounding and premium marine wax to remove oxidation, restore deep gloss, and lock in a lasting shine. Fully mobile in Fort Lauderdale — we come to your slip, private dock, or storage yard along the New River, Intracoastal Waterway, and Las Olas canal system.
Why Fort Lauderdale boats need this.
Fort Lauderdale boats sit in brackish canal water with constant sun exposure and heavy dock traffic, so salt film, waterline staining, and gelcoat oxidation build up faster than almost anywhere else in Florida.
South Florida sun, salt spray, and hard water leave gelcoat chalky, dull, and vulnerable. A proper compound-and-wax service does two things at once: it corrects the paint or gelcoat surface, and it protects it. We machine-compound with marine-grade abrasives to level oxidation and micro-scratches, refine the finish, and lay down a premium carnauba/polymer hybrid wax that beads water for months.
We run compound & wax throughout Fort Lauderdale — The Yachting Capital of the World — hundreds of miles of canals, and boats that live in the water year-round. Our crew arrives fully self-contained with power, water, and marine-grade products, so nothing is asked of your marina or dock.

Fort Lauderdale FAQs
How long does a compound and wax last?
In South Florida sun and salt, expect 3–6 months of hydrophobic protection depending on use, storage, and exposure. Covered slips extend that window.
Will compounding damage my gelcoat?
No — we use marine-specific compounds and dual-action polishers, removing only the minimum needed to correct oxidation. Your gelcoat stays healthy for many future cycles.
Can this fix heavy chalking or is ceramic better?
For heavily oxidized gelcoat, a compound + wax is usually the right first step. If you want multi-year protection afterward, we also offer ceramic coatings.
