| 1. What is A Glaze Plus Active Sealant? A Glaze is not a polish or a wax, it is a resin. When applied to a vessel it impregnates into the GRP or paint surface forming a protective barrier allowing dirt to rest on top of the glaze and not penetrate it or permanently stain the boat. This makes cleaning easier and improves the performance of the vessel. Our active plus now reduces even more stains and helps keep your boat cleaner. Rain or hosing down the craft will assist with the removal of dust particles resting on the surface. |
| 2. How long will it take me to Glaze my 30 foot boat? A 30 foot boat will take approximately 3-4 hours depending on the initial condition of the vessel. Once the A Glaze has been applied, the cleaning of your boat will be dramatically cut. |
| 3. How will it help my boat? Whether old or new, A Glaze has been proven to assist in removing old stains and marks. On most boats A Glaze will give a 7 mirror image. When applied to the vessel hull sides & superstructure, the gel coat or paint surface will be protected against the damaging effects of acid rain & U.V. The surface finish will also be protected against oxidisation, routine washing & maintenance will be easier, and a longer lasting 'new boat' shine will be clearly evident! |
| 4. How long does it last? A Glaze will last up to 1 year with regular non abrasive cleaning. |
| 5. What if I do not want to apply it myself? Synergy Asia has agents who can apply the A Glaze for you and have been fully trained. |
| 6. What does A Glaze protect against? A Glaze will protect against bird acid, salt water, acid rain, UV rays and the general pollutants in the atmosphere. A Glaze Crystal Vision Glass Sealant stops rain spots or salt water spots from forming on the windscreen whilst A Glaze Fabric Protector helps stop mildew. |
| 7.Can I wash over it? You can wash over A Glaze. We recommend you use Wash 'N' Shine Shampoo as this compliments the finish of A Glaze on your vessel. |
| 8. How can I get on your mailing list for future products? Simply email or fax your details to Synergy Asia and we will inform you of new products as and when they are launched. See contact us page. |
| 9. My boat suffers from colour fading as it is always kept in warm climates? As A Glaze impregnates in to the GRP or paint finish of the vessel, it stops UV rays from colour fading the boat. Our vinyl and leather protector has the same effect when applied to seating areas etc which are also prone to colour fading when exposed to long periods of sunlight. |
| 10. What length of boat can a marine kit cover? One A Glaze Marine Sealant kit will be enough to cover a 30 ft boat without flybridge. Larger boats do not necessarily have to have two kits as products are sold individually. (Click here for amounts required to A Glaze your craft) For owners of super yacht, please contact Synergy Asia for quotation. |
| 11. My Boat is in the water now so how can it be A Glazed? A Glaze can be applied to a vessel when it is in the water or out of the water. Obviously when the boat is out of the water then the whole hull can be glazed but for areas above the sea line the boat can be in the water to be glazed. |
| 12. I have a charter company and do not have time to continuously clean all of my vessels - how will Marine A Glaze help me? Brokers and charter companies already using Marine A Glaze have found their labour time spent on each vessel has been cut by at least half enabling charter companies to turn their charters around more quickly whilst still saving money on labour. With all of the products in the Marine A Glaze range, the whole vessel can now be fully valeted. |
| 13. Can A Glaze work on dingies/ribs? We have a dinghy sealant for new ribs and dinghies. This is simply sprayed onto the hyperlon and wiped over with a cloth. For old stains on a rib/dinghy, you will need to use our hull cleaner first to remove the marks and then spray with dinghy sealant. |
| 14. Can A Glaze be applied to a varnished boat? Yes, however if you have used a good marine varnish you would not necessarily have to A Glaze the vessel. |
| 15. Can A Glaze remove yellow staining on the waterline?
Our hull cleaner can remove these marks and then A Glaze needs to be applied to reduce these marks from returning. |
| 16. Do I have to buy a kit all over again the following year? No this is not necessary. The following year you may just need to top up on certain products. |
| 17. I have a blue hulled boat - what do I do? No problem - A Glaze will protect the blue GRP and reduce salt staining on the hull. A Glaze also reduces the swirl marks blue hulls suffer after washing. |
| 18. Once the A Glaze is applied, do I still need to polish my boat? No, once A Glaze is applied, you will just need to re-apply for up to a year. No polishing is necessary. |
| 19. I have a new boat so do not need to protect the GRP/painted surface. As soon as your boat is out in the elements, the GRP will be suffering damage especially from the sunlight. Tests show a new piece of blue GRP left out in the sunshine for 6 months in Florida suffered no 'dulling' effects when treated with A Glaze whereas new blue GRP untreated quite clearly showed 'dulling'. |
| 20. What happens if my craft has been glazed and damage occurs, how does the Glaze affect the repair work? No Problem at all. During the repair your specialist will need to rub down the damaged area and this will automatically remove the Glaze from the gelcoat/painted surface. After the repair has been done make sure that the affected area is re Glazed so as to protect the area concerned. |
| 21. What if I want to repair my boat - how do I remove the glaze? Before repainting you should compound your boat heavily which will remove the glaze. |
| 22. I have an old boat- how do I prepare it for glazing? If the GRP has 'dulled' heavily you may need to use our Pre-Cut compound which will take the gelcoat back to its original colour before starting the A Glaze process. |
| 23. Will I need additional Glaze if I have compounded my boat first? Yes, most likely - you would be best placing an additional coat of Glaze on as the craft will be very porous after compounding. Call us for more advice. |
| 24. I glazed my boat yesterday, it has rained overnight. What shall I do, as there were pollutants in the rain which have caused my boat to become dirty again? Just hose the vessel with clean water and this should remove the dirt marks. |
| 25. After glazing I occasionally suffer from diesel stains on my transom area, what shall I do? Just take a small amount of surface preparation and these marks should easily be removed. When you purchased a kit whether it be direct from us or through one of our agents, you should have preparation left over. Our agents always leave any leftover product on your vessel. Just use the preparation to remove them - even though the preparation removes the stain it will not remove the glaze sealant. |
| 26. I have rust stains around the GRP where the stainless steel meets what will remove this? Deck Cleaner will remove all rust marks from GRP. Just rub some un diluted A glaze deck cleaner over the affected area and with a small brush agitate and allow 10/15mins to work removing with water. |
| 27. My canopy has green mildew on it how do I remove this and stop it from re growing? Our Canopy Kit will solve this problem. First clean the affected area with a detergent or our wash and shine shampoo. The spray our Silver Safe over the canopy. afterward then using our Fabric Protector in the Kit re seal to make water resistant. |
| 28. I have yellowing stains on my hull what do I use before Glazing? Hull Cleaner will remove all yellowing as well as stains on the hull. Use as directed. |
| 29. I have not Glazed my boat but need to remove some stubborn marks as well as black streak marks what should I use? Nano Kit will get rid of all those annoying marks that you have never been able to remove before. |
