Premier Custom Ceramic Coating.

Specializing in Boat Detailing and Marine Ceramic Coating.

Together Kevin VanderHeyden and his wife, Carol have embarked on a journey to educate boat owners and provide hope to those who wish to spend less time maintaining their boat and more time on the water.

Kevin has discovered that there is a definite need for their products and services as more boat owners are becoming aware of a better way to protect their valuable investment. He has spent a great deal of time researching the market and is confident that he has found the very best products available.

We are a boat detailing and restoration company that offers a broad variety of services. We use the latest technology in finish correction and surface protection developed by some of the most advanced chemical companies in the world. With over 25 years experience we are masters in the restoration of faded and oxidized finishes.

Ceramtek offers protection for both underwater and above water. With the use of advanced nano-technology Ceramtek delivers a product that will improve your vessels performance while protecting it from the elements.

Alongside our ceramic coating services, we now offer Aqua Shield Marine Protection Film, a clear, high-performance hull wrap built for boaters who want maximum gelcoat protection without changing the look of their boat.

Aqua Shield uses proven protection-film technology adapted from the automotive world and engineered specifically for marine conditions. Think of it as a tough, transparent barrier that helps shield your gelcoat from the daily grind of saltwater exposure, scuffs, and surface wear, especially in high-impact areas.

It also delivers strong UV resistance, helping slow the oxidation and fading that can make gelcoat look tired over time. And because Aqua Shield is finished with a hydrophobic, anti-contaminant topcoat, grime releases easier—so washing is faster and less of a chore.

Installation matters as much as the film itself. That’s why Aqua Shield is installed by a specialist with 20 years of protection-film installation experience, ensuring clean lines, proper adhesion, and a finish that looks right on a boat.

If you’re looking for a clear, durable alternative to ceramic coating the hull, or you want to pair film protection with ceramic where it makes sense, Aqua Shield is a smart upgrade.

Benefits of Ceramic Coating:

Salt water

Harsh conditions of the underwater environment are a well known issue. Our product offers protection against the corrosion created by salt water and the fouling on the hull caused by the accumulation of algae, etc.

Protection from UV damage and oxidation

If a boat is often exposed to the sun, it’s gelcoat will begin to oxidize. A layer of ceramic coating protects from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, thereby reducing the amount of oxidation.

Bird and insect droppings

Ceramtek’s super slick, protective layer allows bird droppings, fish blood, oil, etc. to be easily washed off your boat’s surface.

Cleaning your boat is a snap!

One of the most significant features of CeramTek is that it is hydrophobic which is a fancy way of saying it repels water. When a boat has a hydrophobic ceramic coating water will bead on the surface and slide off more easily.

Adds layer of hardness above 9H

9H stands for a hardness scale of 9 on the ‘pencil’ hardness scale. A common test used to test the strength of coatings, ceramic coating has a score of 9. Hence the name of ‘9H’ for 9 hardness.

Fuel friendly

The most unique function of ceramic coating is the ability to reduce drag when applied to the hull bottom and prop. Proven in the manufacturer industry, this coating reduces surface tensions creating higher speeds at cruising RPM’s.

Enhanced gloss & color depth

Your boat will be glossier and more beautiful than the day you bought it! The results are truly amazing!

Protect your props

Protecting your props is challenging. So many variables cause headaches for boat owners as they are constantly looking for the right solution.
