Protecting What I Love With Protection Films And Coatings

Protecting What I Love With Protection Films And Coatings

Posted on July 9, 2025 By rehan.rafique No Comments on Protecting What I Love With Protection Films And Coatings

My boating background started as a young one, as far back as a 4 year old growing up on the water, fishing, and tubing with my family during the summer. This passion for boats and water has always been a part of my life. Over the last 20 years, I have personally had multiple boats; from 5 Wakeboard/Ski boats, to 2 regular Runabout boats, and 3 Go-Fast boats ranging in length from 21 feet long up to a 38-foot offshore style go-fast boat.

XPEL Marine Window Film not only makes the boat look sleeker but also serves a greater purpose. With the window film installed, I can now see my large dash displays that are like two mini-iPads. Before, the sun’s glare was so bad it was hard to see the displays in the sun. Now I can see them clearly, while in full sun. This will also prevent the screens and vinyl dash from being damaged or faded by the sun’s harmful UV rays. I feel like this was a great improvement, as this helps solve multiple issues we have here in Arizona.

XPEL Marine Protection Film (MPF) was installed on the complete sides of the hull from bow to stern. MPF was also installed on the rear transom and along the leading edges of the swim platform. We then protected all high-impact areas on the upper edges of the boat where people put their arms and get in and out of the boat for added protection. This will ensure there is no chance of scratching the gelcoat and protect it from general wear and tear. A marine protection film was installed here for multiple reasons. Any time you are tied up at the dock, you will get scratches from the dock and your bumpers, regardless of how good your bumpers are or how careful you are. Also, doing the complete sides of the hull stops any scratches from happening when loading the boat on the trailer from the guiding pulls – AKA my wife bumping them any time she loads the boat on the trailer. Doing this also helps offer protection from road debris and chips from truck or trailer tires while traveling down the road. Protecting the rear transom and swim platform is a must. Over the years, owning ski and wake boats, I have had more people hit the transom and swim platform with wakeboards or skis. These impacts have scratched or chipped the boat’s gelcoat, generating costly repairs from the damage.

XPEL Marine Ceramic Coating was applied on all gelcoat surfaces, PPF, and glass. There is nothing worse than cleaning a 95% black boat after a great day on the water. Before doing the PPF and Ceramic Coating, this would take 30-40 minutes to wipe down correctly. XPEL Marine Ceramic Coating has been a game changer. This now takes 10 minutes to do correctly, even in our 110-degree-plus summer weather in Arizona. With ceramic coating, 85% of the water runs off as I pull the boat out of the water.
