Yes, polishing is very important for boat maintenance. Here's why :

1. Hull protection

Polishing creates a protective layer on the gelcoat or paint of the hull. This layer helps to prevent :

•Oxidation caused by UV rays.

•The accumulation of dirt, salt deposits, and marine contaminants.

•Micro-scratches caused by abrasion.

2. Aesthetic preservation

A well-polished boat maintains its shiny, new appearance. This increases the aesthetic value and even the resale value of the boat.

3. Performance improvement

On certain parts of the boat, such as the hull, proper polishing can reduce water resistance, which may slightly improve performance and reduce fuel consumption.

4. Ease of maintenance

A polished boat is easier to clean because dirt adheres less to a smooth, shiny surface.

5. Increased durability

Regular polishing can extend the lifespan of materials exposed to marine elements, which are highly aggressive (salt water, sun, humidity, etc.).

When to polish?

•Frequency: It is recommended to polish at least once a year, usually before the sailing season.

•Preparation: Before polishing, it is necessary to clean and sometimes polish to remove oxidation and minor imperfections.
