Understanding Gel Coat Oxidation

Why boats and RVs lose their shine in the Treasure Valley

Before and after gel coat restoration result

Gel coat is the protective outer layer on fiberglass boats and RVs. In the Treasure Valley's high elevation, intense UV exposure, hard water minerals, and seasonal temperature changes cause gel coat to oxidize. This creates a dull, chalky appearance that makes your vessel look neglected.

High Elevation UV Exposure

Boise's 2,700+ ft elevation means intense UV rays

Water Reflection Amplifies Damage

Boats experience double UV exposure from sun and water

Mineral Deposits Accelerate Damage

Idaho's hard water leaves stubborn mineral deposits
