Professional FEYNLAB® Protection
Hydrophobic Surface
Helps water bead and run off more readily, making routine washing and maintenance easier.
Surface Protection
Provides an additional layer of protection against environmental exposure and everyday contamination.
Enhanced Gloss
Enhances the appearance, depth and finish of properly prepared gelcoat and painted surfaces.
Easier Maintenance
A properly coated surface can be easier to clean and maintain, helping reduce the effort required during routine washdowns.
What Ceramic Coating Doesn't Do
Not Scratch-Proof
Ceramic coatings provide surface protection but cannot prevent all scratches, impacts or abrasion.
Not Maintenance-Free
Regular washing remains essential.
Doesn't Hide Damage
Oxidation, scratches and significant surface defects should be addressed before coating.
Professional Surface Preparation
The quality of a ceramic coating installation depends heavily on the preparation carried out before the coating is applied.
Before coating, the surface is assessed, cleaned and prepared according to its condition. Where required, oxidation, contamination and surface imperfections are corrected before the coating system is applied.
Proper preparation helps ensure the coating can bond effectively to the prepared surface and provides the best possible foundation for long-term performance.
Assess
We inspect the condition of the vessel and identify the surfaces requiring preparation.
Clean
Surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated.
Correct
Oxidation and surface imperfections are addressed where required.
Prepare
The surface is carefully prepared for coating application.
Apply
The selected FEYNLAB® system is professionally applied according to the requirements of the vessel and product.
Maintain
The coated vessel should continue to receive appropriate regular washing and maintenance.
Marine Surfaces We Can Protect
Depending on the selected FEYNLAB® system and the condition of the surface, ceramic protection may be suitable for:
Gelcoat
Painted surfaces
Fibreglass surfaces
Marine glass
Selected exterior surfaces
Professional Ceramic Coating Installation
Professional ceramic coating installation requires careful preparation, appropriate product selection and correct application techniques. Our marine experience allows us to assess the condition of your vessel and recommend an appropriate protection system based on its surfaces, condition and intended use.
We combine professional coating systems with marine detailing and restoration expertise to prepare and protect vessels to a high professional standard.
Ceramic coating makes ongoing maintenance easier, but it does not eliminate the need for regular care.
Regular washing helps remove salt, dirt, bird droppings and other contaminants before they can build up on the surface.
Using appropriate, coating-safe products and washing techniques is important for maintaining the appearance and performance of the coating.
FEYNLAB® MAINTENANCE & AFTERCARE
Protecting Your Coating. Maintaining Your Vessel.
A professional coating is an investment in your vessel.
Regular maintenance is an important part of keeping the surface clean, protected and looking its best.
Oceanix Yacht Care can incorporate FEYNLAB® maintenance products into monthly, quarterly and annual vessel maintenance programmes.
Our maintenance programmes are designed around the individual vessel, its location, frequency of use and condition.
FEYNLAB® Marine Wash
The Foundation of Regular Maintenance
Regular washing is one of the most important parts of maintaining a coated vessel.
FEYNLAB® Marine Wash is a high-foaming, concentrated marine wash designed to remove salt, dirt and environmental contamination while rinsing clean without leaving residue. FEYNLAB® also specifies it for use on ceramic-coated marine surfaces and as part of coating preparation.

THE OCEANIX FEYNLAB® PROCESS
Professional Preparation. Precise Application. Exceptional Finish.
A professional ceramic coating is only as good as the surface it is applied to.
At Oceanix Yacht Care, we take a preparation-first approach to every FEYNLAB® coating project.
Each vessel is assessed individually to determine the condition of the surface and the level of preparation required before coating.
Our process can include everything from deep cleaning and decontamination through to machine polishing, surface correction and final preparation.
01 — Vessel Assessment
We inspect the vessel and assess the condition of the surfaces to be coated.
Oxidation
Contamination
Water spotting
Staining
Scratches and surface imperfections
Existing coatings or protection
02 — Wash & Decontamination
The vessel is thoroughly cleaned to remove salt, dirt, grime and environmental contamination.
03 — Machine Polishing & Correction
Where required, the surface is professionally machine polished to remove oxidation and improve the finish. This is particularly important on older or weathered gelcoat.
04 — Final Surface Preparation
Once polishing and correction are complete, the surface is thoroughly prepared for coating application.
05 — FEYNLAB® Application
The appropriate FEYNLAB® system is professionally applied according to the requirements of the vessel, surface and manufacturer's procedures.

FEYNLAB® FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is FEYNLAB®?
FEYNLAB® is a range of ceramic coating and surface protection systems designed for different applications, including marine and glass protection. Oceanix Yacht Care uses selected FEYNLAB® systems for suitable marine surfaces and applications.
What FEYNLAB® coating is right for my boat?
The most suitable system depends on the vessel, the surface being protected and the condition of the existing finish. Oceanix will assess the vessel and recommend the appropriate system based on the surface and level of protection required.
Does my boat need to be polished before applying a ceramic coating?
Not necessarily, but the surface must be properly prepared. If the vessel has oxidation, staining, water spots, contamination or other surface imperfections, machine polishing or correction may be required before coating. A ceramic coating protects the surface. It does not replace proper surface restoration.
Can FEYNLAB® be applied to older boats?
Yes, provided the surface is suitable and can be properly prepared. Older gelcoat may require more extensive cleaning, decontamination, oxidation removal and machine polishing before coating.
Can you coat marine glass?
Yes. Oceanix applies FEYNLAB® Window Coating to suitable glass surfaces following professional cleaning, polishing and preparation. FEYNLAB® specifies glass as the approved surface for Window Coating.
Can you protect the inside of a yacht?
Selected interior surfaces may be suitable for FEYNLAB® Interior Ceramic, including suitable vinyl, leather, plastics and trim. Surface suitability should always be assessed before application.
Can ceramic coating prevent water spots and salt buildup?
Ceramic coatings provide hydrophobic surface characteristics that can help water and contamination release more easily. They do not eliminate the need for regular washing and maintenance, particularly in the marine environment.
How do I maintain a FEYNLAB® coated vessel?
Regular professional washing is an important part of maintaining a coated vessel. Oceanix can incorporate appropriate FEYNLAB® maintenance products and procedures into monthly, quarterly or annual vessel maintenance programmes.
How long does a FEYNLAB® coating last?
Longevity depends on the coating system, surface condition, preparation, environmental exposure, use and ongoing maintenance. Oceanix will explain the expected maintenance requirements for the selected system rather than applying one generic lifespan to every vessel.
How long does Hydro take to cure?
Current FEYNLAB® Hydro instructions specify keeping the vessel out of the water for 7 days and avoiding chemical exposure during that period.
Can Oceanix maintain my vessel after the coating is applied?
Yes. Our maintenance programmes can include regular washdowns, cleaning, presentation maintenance and scheduled inspections to help keep the vessel in good condition throughout the year.
