Home/Warranty
Anyone can sell you a bottle of coating. What cannot be copied is a warranty registered against your hull with the manufacturer and transferable when you sell.
There is a reason we talk about the warranty before we talk about the chemistry. The detailing market is full of claims that cannot be checked — years of protection, hardness ratings, miracle results. A registered warranty is the one thing in the whole transaction that is verifiable by someone other than the person selling it to you.
When a certified applicator finishes a job, the vessel or vehicle is registered with Ceramic Pro: the surfaces treated, the products used, the number of layers, the date, and the identity of the applicator. That record sits with the manufacturer, not with us.
You receive documentation tied to the hull identification number or the VIN. If our company disappeared tomorrow, the registration would still exist.
The warranty follows the asset rather than the buyer. When you sell the boat, the remaining cover goes with it, along with the record of what was done and when.
For a broker this is a documented maintenance history on the most visible part of the vessel. Two otherwise identical boats where one has a registered coating record and one has a folder of receipts from various polishers are not valued the same way.
This is also the reason we insist on certified applicators. A warranty is only worth something if the thing behind it was done correctly, so the manufacturer will not register work by someone who has not been trained and audited.
| Covered | Not covered |
|---|---|
| Performance of the coating itself: hydrophobic behaviour, resistance to UV, oxidation, salt and chemical etching, within the rated period | Impact damage, fender rash, scrapes, groundings and anything mechanical |
| Failure of adhesion where the substrate was correctly prepared | Failure of the substrate underneath — a coating cannot hold together failing gelcoat |
| Surfaces listed on the registration | Surfaces that were quoted but declined at the time of work |
The condition attached to every marine registration is an annual inspection. We look at the coated surfaces, measure gloss against the reading taken on the day of application, and refresh the top coat where it has taken the season's wear.
This is not an upsell mechanism. The top coat is designed to be sacrificial — it takes the abuse so the structural layers underneath do not — and replacing it once a year is what makes a multi-season claim realistic rather than marketing.
None of these are exotic. The most common one by far is a well-meaning marina crew polishing a coated hull because that is what they have always done. Tell whoever washes your boat that the surfaces are coated.
Rated duration depends on which system is applied and how many layers, and marine conditions are harder than automotive ones. Rather than quote a headline number here, we put the specific term in writing on the quote for your vessel, because a figure that does not match your boat and your storage arrangement is not information.
