THE COAT KIT

Your gelcoat still has gloss

This is the original Marine Nano Shop system, sold to boat owners since 2016: decontaminate, prime with Fusion SiO2 Primer Polish, lay Liquid Crystal Armour DIY, lock it with Activate. One Saturday. Not another three-hour wax. 1-year limited guarantee.

Pick your length. Pick wool (rotary) or foam (DA). Chemistry, pads, and towels are in the box. You bring a polisher and a shady afternoon.

Who this is for

Buy this if

The hull is new, recently compounded, or still glossy. You want a ceramic film instead of waxing every 90 days.

Skip this if

The gelcoat is chalky or faded. Coating over oxidation seals the fade. That is Restoration. Already coated and still beading is Wash Care.

You will also need

A polisher. Wool = rotary. Foam = DA. Shade. 24 hours of dry weather after the coat. Machines live at /collections/machines.

A Saturday. Four moves.

1. Decontaminate

Clay mitt, MineralX, Prep Wipe. Get the pores clean before you prime.

2. Prime

Fusion SiO2 Primer Polish. This is the layer the coating actually bonds to.

3. Coat

Liquid Crystal Armour DIY. Thin, even, shade. Do not bake it in the sun.

4. Lock

Activate on top. Then leave it alone for 24 dry hours.

From owners who actually run the coating
I have been using Liquid Crystal Armour on my boats for the past three years now with fantastic results. We are down here in Marco Island and John has been very helpful throughout the entire process. Not only is the product great, but so is the support.

The original application of LCA PRO HD over the entire topside lasted 13 months. I have received several inquiries and compliments on its appearance. Our hull is probably good for another year… still hydrophobic and glossy.

Questions before you buy

Short answers. Human: 844-522-6266.

Is this a restoration?

No. If it is chalky, do not coat it prettier. Restore it first.

Wool or foam?

Wool = rotary. Foam = dual-action. Match the machine you already own. The kit does not include a polisher.

How long is a 20 ft kit?

Typical 18–22 ft center console: hullsides, topsides, hardtop. 30 ft is 23–30. 40 ft is 31–40.

How long does it last?

About 12–18 months of rinse-off when you maintain it. Durability is maintenance, not magic.

Do I need 24 hours of dry weather?

Yes, after the coat. Not for a later wash.

Will it work on paint, metal, vinyl?

Gelcoat and marine paint are the job. The coating also takes to glass, stainless, aluminum, isinglass, rubber, plastics, and vinyl once those are clean.

What is next after I coat?

The Wash Care kit. Coatings fail from bad soap, not from salt.
