Valhalla 37 Owner: 14 Months of Marine Ceramic Coating Results

Best service on Valhalla 37!

See what happens when you stop waxing and start protecting. After 14 months on his Valhalla 37, Mr. Brooks maintains a better-than showroom shine with just monthly rinses, occasional soap downs, and easy aftercare applications periodically that keep the surfaces fresh and smooth. Our ceramic coating creates a non-stick surface that resists saltwater staining and oxidation while cutting maintenance time by an average of 50% It’s truly smooth ownership

Change How You Think About Boat Maintenance

If you think ceramic coating is just another expense only for those who have money to blow, let’s show you why it’s one of the smartest investments you can make.

Simple concept. Wax is a solidified oil, it’s susceptible to temperature changes, dirt retention, and fast breakdown from the stress of sun and oxidative stress from the very air it’s sitting in. Flip that into another arena where ceramic coatings or nano-coatings exist. These materials are solvent-carried nano-glass, coupled with the best chemical binding technology to get long term stick and a hard finish that does NOT wash off or relinquish its’ power to the elements for years. Not even a chance wax could compete. Add in one more thing, a ceramic nano-coating is FUNCTIONAL and performs like a dry erase board and puts the term non-stick into full motion.

 

Meet Mr. Brooks. He’s been running his Valhalla 37 “Jessie B” with our ceramic coating for 14 months—and he’ll tell you exactly what it’s like to live with these results every day.

Our Professional Process: Hassle-Free From Day One

Here’s what Mr. Brooks says about working with us:

“The process of working with you guys from the beginning was as easy as it could be. It was all handled—you guys got the boat treated, did everything you had to, and then delivered it all done.”

That’s the goal. No back-and-forth, no uncertainty. You drop off your boat. We handle every detail. You pick it up fully protected for years to come. We communicate and catalog our moves and make sure you are a part of the process too! Using our company app to store the details and the videos for accountability and record is just one more step we take pride in. Precision comes from our constant endeavor to improve and maintain our companies SOPs to make sure each client gets the solid SMOOTHAZFCK treatment.

14 Months Later: Proven Real-World Results

South Florida is no joke. Salt water. Blazing Heat. Fish blood. Constant use. Environmental pressure that just DOES NOT relent. Unless you’re in an air conditioned warehouse of course.

 

After 14 months, on a lift, in these conditions, Mr. Brooks’ Valhalla 37 still looks and performs like day one almost. Small bits of wear start to show on flat surfaces but because Mr. Brooks implemented our aftercare system like a champion; he has created a longer lasting result and performance that was intended with our entire coating system.

Traditional waxing has you working every 2–3 months, sweating in the sun while losing precious time on the water, or simply paying a company to put an oil or sealant on that washes off. Yes, the dollars just wash off. Our coating is bonded chemically and keeps working month after month so you can actually enjoy your boat and look at it with all the sharp sexy lines and be proud of what you have accomplished. It’s a dream for a dream that has been realized.

The 30-Minute Maintenance Revolution

Here’s what monthly maintenance actually looks like with our system. According to Mr. Brooks:

 

Here’s what monthly maintenance actually looks like with our system. According to Mr. Brooks:

Rinse with fresh water after each trip with spot-free water.  Dry key areas with the DRYLUX XL towels which clean as they dry.  Apply Regen-X Strong Ceramic Aftercare spray once a month on highly exposed areas.

“I can spot-free rinse and leave my boat when I get back from fishing,” he says.
  No soap. No scrubbing. No full-day projects.

If you value your time, this is the smartest upgrade you can make. Those who run businesses understand how precious time is. Whether you’re a doctor or entrepreneur, TIME IS VALUABLE. But so is the result. You get both with the DNA Smooth Ownership Strategy.

The DRYLUX Microfiber Advantage

Mr. Brooks discovered something else: with our coating’s slick, non-stick surface, you don’t need harsh chemicals.

“If there’s a spot with chum or blood, I just rub it with the drying rag and that’s it.”

Yes, you’ll wash the towels—but you’re trading a little laundry for never scrubbing your boat again. Again the result is a cleaner boat, less time, and no frustration when you get back and everyone is tired and doesn’t want to pitch in.

Smart Application = Even Smarter Maintenance

Here’s how Mr. Brooks stays efficient with Regen-X Strong Ceramic Aftercare Spray:

• He watches for water beading to diminish as the boat gets rinsed each time.
• The focus is on high-wear areas. He will also touch up metal surfaces when they are starting to lose protection.
• He doesn’t coat the whole boat every time. He treats what needs it, when it needs it—saving time and product.
• Now he adapted this to his own program but it works and it’s that simple. The more you maintain the easier it is and continues to be.

Why Professional Application Matters

The application is everything. Our sharp and long-term results come from getting it done right from the start. We’ve perfected this process over 17 years. Our Founder Sean Kelly immersed himself over this period of time never relenting on pioneering the process with an engineer’s mindset. The passion, precision, and integrity he put into building the DNA system shows on every inch every month for years.

 

This is where leadership meets the industry of surface care. Being indoors has added to the ability to produce finishes that are second to none. Products have changed over the years, processes improve, DNA is on the front edge constantly improving from a corporate mindset with the framework of excellence. When you DIY, you’re gambling with your boat’s finish. Get it right the first time with professionals who know the process inside and out.

South Florida: The Ultimate Test

Our system thrives in one of the world’s harshest marine environments. Our results are always highlighted and derived from our real world data collection from our annual revisits from clients staying on our smooth surface strategy. We are able to document the wear and tear and build services to be repeatable inside our ecosystem offering the best products, tactics and techniques, and supporting equipment like spot free water treatment systems and performance products. The data we speak about when introducing our client comes from experience, real experience, of our own.

If it works here, it’ll work anywhere.

Real Questions from Boat Owners

How often do I apply the RegenX surface booster for aftercare of the ceramic coating?

Once a month to add 50% to the life of the coating. By doing this you will also see that this enhances the surface and makes it stay simple to rinse and dry the same exact way all through the year. RegenX Strong Aftercare Spray is formulated for tough applications and is one of the most dense and rich ceramic spray products on the market and outperforms all products like Starke, Gtechniq, Ceramic PRO, System X, and frankly all others. Based on real feedback and professionals who have made the switch. It’s real organic data tried and true.

Can I fish and use my boat normally once ceramic coatings are applied?

Absolutely. This is designed for real-world use. Coatings are a part of the boat and wear slowly. In fact using the boat is still the same, the only difference is your interaction with cleaning it which is a much much different experience. Think dry erase board cleanup, just detailed finish, every single time. For years.

What are the biggest advantages of ceramic coatings on boats?

Time savings. Superior sharp look. Longevity is measured in years not months. Retained value. Better resale. Complete coverage with the easiest cleaning surface available. Cut maintenance by 75% over the year. Eliminate waxing to keep up with oxidation. Instead implement simple aftercare that takes only a fraction of the time and produces smooth, glossy, buttery feel on everything. Is that enough to rock the boat?

How long before I need to recoat?

With proper care, you will replace the highly exposed areas every 18 months and the less exposed areas every 2-3 years. Everything depends on how you maintain a performance finish such as this. The better you maintain it the longer it goes. We basically create a new surface that is superior on the substrate and can be pushed to limits way beyond that of a conventional sealant or wax.

What is the purpose of annual maintenance?

While coatings are categorized as permanent they are permanent to a scale of years. While they are strong and durable, they need to be refreshed. Hi-wear areas will ultimately be the focus as they will show some visual wear in the form of a slight haze, never chalky. Preventing the future is simple. Fix the slightly worn areas like a gunnel and a hard top, detail the vessel entirely using the Ceramic DNA line.

Is it worth the investment?

If you want to protect your boat and save time and money, yes.
