Presta Marine is the professional's choice for fiberglass and gel coat restoration. Their system is designed to take a weathered, oxidized hull and return it to a "showroom shine" using a streamlined process that requires fewer steps than traditional compounds.
At Anchor Express, we supply the 2026 Presta lineup for both professional detailers and DIY boaters looking for world-class results.
1. The Buffing System: Simplified Restoration
Presta is famous for its "Ultra 2-Step" and "MaxComplete" systems, which utilize diminishing abrasives to cut and polish in the same pass.
-
MaxComplete Compound: The 2026 flagship for gel coat. It removes P1000 or finer sand scratches while simultaneously polishing to a high gloss. It contains no fillers, waxes, or silicones, meaning the shine you see is the true surface, not a temporary oily cover-up.
-
Gel Coat Compound: Specifically formulated for the harder, more porous nature of marine gel coats. It’s a water-based, VOC-compliant formula that stays "wet" longer, allowing for extended working time even in direct sunlight.
-
Ultra Polish: Used as the final step to remove light swirls and holograms, creating a deep, mirror-like finish on dark-colored hulls.
2. Protection & Maintenance
Once the shine is restored, Presta offers specialized barriers to lock out salt, UV rays, and environmental staining.
-
HydroProtek Ceramic Coating: A 2026 top-seller. This sprayable ceramic provides a 1-year hydrophobic barrier that makes salt and fish scales rinse off with just a garden hose.
-
UV Creme Wax: A premium blend of carnauba wax and polymers with heavy-duty UV inhibitors, designed for boaters who prefer a traditional, deep-canning wax glow.
-
Ultra Concentrated Boat Wash: A biodegradable, phosphate-free soap that is highly concentrated (1:400 dilution). It’s designed to clean without stripping your wax or ceramic coating.
3. Specialized Cleaners
-
Vinyl & Plastic Cleaner: A deep-cleaning formula that penetrates pores to lift out embedded dirt and mildew from seats and rub rails.
-
Hull & Deck Cleaner: A heavy-duty degreaser designed for non-skid surfaces, powering through engine soot, grease, and "black streaks" along the waterline.
