Aces Detail

Ace in the Hull heritage

Marine detailing & gelcoat restoration.

This business was built on boats. Staged oxidation removal, deck and compartment care, and Gtechniq Marine ceramic protection — all performed in our trailer-friendly Ocean Springs bays.

Oxidation staging

We grade the gelcoat before we quote it.

Every hull gets staged honestly — the work (and the price) follows the actual condition, not a guess.

Stage I

Light oxidation

Signs: Gloss is fading; the color still reads true up close.

Single-step machine polish, then sealant. Caught early, gelcoat gives it all back.

Stage II

Moderate oxidation

Signs: Chalky haze you can feel; white residue on a dark cloth.

Compound cut with RUPES BigFoot systems, refining polish, then protection.

Stage III

Severe oxidation

Signs: Flat, dusty surface, waterline and exhaust staining set deep.

Multi-stage wet-sand-assisted compounding, staged refinement, and a ceramic-grade reset.

The proof

Chalk to mirror, on camera.

Offshore hulls take the worst of the Gulf sun. Staged compounding takes chalky, stained gelcoat back to a finish you can read your reflection in.

Beyond the hull

The whole boat, done right.

Fresh coat deck waxing

Non-slip-safe protection that keeps decks bright without turning them into ice.

Livewell & bilge sanitation

Deep-cleaned, deodorized, and rinsed clean — the parts guests never see but always smell.

Compartment detailing

Rod lockers, consoles, hatches, and storage boxes finished to the same standard as the hull.

SquidWorks collaboration

Synthetic EVA foam decking.

Worn nonskid turns chalky and stains for good. Our SquidWorks collaboration replaces it with cool-underfoot synthetic EVA decking, cut to your layout.

  • · Custom-templated to your exact deck layout
  • · Two-tone routed designs, logos, and lettering available
  • · Cooler underfoot, easier on knees, simple to clean
  • · Digital mockup approved by you before anything is cut

Gtechniq Marine

Ceramic protection built for salt.

Engineered specifically to protect marine gelcoat and paint against harsh UV exposure, saltwater corrosion, and stubborn stains.

Saltwater resistance

A hard ceramic barrier that shrugs off salt spray and makes wash-downs quick.

UV barrier

Gulf sun is what oxidized your gelcoat the first time. The coating takes that hit instead.

Fish blood release

Blood, bait, and bird strikes rinse off instead of staining into the surface.

Your hull already knows which stage it is.
