Why use Gtechniq Ceramic Base?
Ceramic Base forms a protective barrier which is extremely hard and exceptionally durable. This makes it very effective at preventing swirling and minor scratching from poor washing techniques. With great gloss retention, Ceramic Base becomes the functional surface of the gelcoat.
Application Information
Simple steps to help you get the best results
- Perfect – If applying directly to Gelcoat or topcoat, polish the surface to remove any imperfections.
- Degrease – Ceramic Top bonds best to surgically clean surfaces. Use Gtechniq Panel Wipe and a Gtechniq MF1 Microfibre to remove all polish residue.
- Application – Soak the application pad with product. Spread onto an area measuring no more than 2’ by 2’ (60 x 60cm) and remove residue with a Gtechniq MF1 Microfibre.
Product Usage – The amount of product you will need will vary depending on factors such as the microporosity of either your gel coat or marine topcoat. The amount of product required will be anywhere between 5.5 to 7ml/square meter (0.5 to 0.7 ml/square foot).
If opened, use within 3 months, if unopened, use within 12 months

Frequently Asked Questions
How can we protect marine surfaces like gelcoat and paint?
Harsh saltwater, UV rays, and marine pollutants can quickly degrade gelcoat, painted surfaces, and metal trim. Marine Ceramic Base creates a long-lasting protective barrier, shielding the painted surfacesof your vessel from oxidation, staining, and UV fade while making cleaning much easier.
What is Marine Ceramic Base used for?
Marine Ceramic Base is a high-performance ceramic coating designed for boats and watercraft. It provides ultra-durable protection on gelcoat and paint, delivering superior resistance to salt, UV, and environmental contaminants.
Is Marine Ceramic Base better than wax for boats?
Yes—unlike traditional waxes, Marine Ceramic Base chemically bonds to surfaces for extended durability and better performance. It offers stronger protection against oxidation, fouling, and sun exposure, with a much longer lifespan.
How long does Marine Ceramic Base last?
When applied correctly, Marine Ceramic Base provides protection that lasts up to 18 months or more, depending on usage and conditions. It maintains water-repellent and UV-resistant properties throughout its lifespan.
Can Marine Ceramic Base be used below the waterline?
Marine Ceramic Base is intended for above-the-waterline use, such as topsides and superstructures. For below-waterline protection, antifouling-specific solutions should be used.
Does ceramic coating reduce cleaning time on boats?
Yes—Marine Ceramic Base significantly reduces the amount of dirt, salt, and grime that bonds to your boat. This means fewer harsh washes and less elbow grease, helping maintain your vessel’s appearance with minimal effort.
Is Marine Ceramic Base safe for all marine finishes?
Absolutely. It is safe for gelcoat and all painted surfaces. It enhances gloss on polished surfaces while forming a hydrophobic, protective layer that won’t alter colour or texture.
How do I maintain a boat with Marine Ceramic Base applied?
Use pH-neutral boat washes and soft wash mitts or microfibre cloths or the Marine Aftercare Kit. Avoid abrasive cleaners, and periodically top up with a compatible marine detailer to keep the surface slick and protected.
