How A-Glaze treatment works

Many boat owners suffer from swirl marks due to fender rubbing as well as continuous polishing. Here you will see recent pictures taken before and after the A Glaze treatment has been applied.

Before - With swirl marks
After - A Shiny surface

As you can see by this photo the boat has suffered from fender marks as well as polishing marks. After the A Glaze treatment has been applied. The marks have been removed and a gloss reinstated to last a minimum 12 months with less maintenance than usual. Just a hose down after each journey where possible and a wash using our Wash and Shine Shampoo when washing the boat.

A Glaze Marine Sealant has proved immensely successful in reducing the labour tasks of continual polishing and problems relating to 'black streaking'. Although the product will not stop these marks from appearing they will certainly not stain the surface and will be easily removed.

This is most definitely the product that all marine enthusiasts have been waiting for to enable them to enjoy more leisure time cruising and sailing rather than washing and waxing.

To apply the A Glaze, first of all you will need to wash your vessel with our wash N shine shampoo. Wash N Shine is a unique product that is specifically formulated to .float off・ dirt and grime while leaving a sparkling just waxed finish. This is a wash and polish in one.

Once the boat has been washed, A Glaze surface preparation needs to be applied. This is a non silicon based fine duty polishing compound and cleaner, ideal for preparation on paintwork before final waxing. It ensures that all dirt is removed and is easily applied by hand or buffer.

No matter how often you clean your boat, black streak always return. But with A Glaze, they simply wipe off with a damp cloth and do not need to be waxed afterwards as the Glaze has stayed on the vessel.

A Glaze Marine Sealant is applied very sparingly as it goes a long way. A Glaze sealant bites into the surface of the GRP or paint finish to a depth of 5/7 microns and creates a surface shield. This prevents practically any form of pollutant from penetrating the sealed surface, thus giving the base material total protection from acid rain, snow, salt, industrial fallout, oxidisation and colour fading but most of all, the sun's ultra violet rays. Two coats of glaze need to be applied. The A Glaze system is not a polish or a wax but actually bonds to the surface and creates a brilliant, high gloss protective barrier leaving dirt and pollutants resting on the glazed surface. A quick wash will maintain the treated surface leaving it looking pristine and any size, any colour boat can be A Glazed.
