Waterslide Waxing / Polishing

Sometimes the color isn’t gone — it’s just buried. A wax and polish brings it back for about half the cost of gelcoating.

Waxing & Polishing

Faded Slides Aren’t Always Worn Slides

Highly mineralized water and pools with high calcium and chlorine levels leave deposits that everyday maintenance can’t remove. Over time those deposits build up and cover the color of your slides — making them look faded and worn when the surface underneath is still in good shape.

When that’s the case, a full gelcoat isn’t necessary. We remove the mineral deposits, buff the surface, then wax and polish it — and there’s a good chance your slides come out bright and shiny again, with a noticeable difference in your slides and your wallet.

Not sure which way to go? You don’t have to decide up front. We strip away the grit, grime, and deposits first, so you can see the true state of your slide — then you choose between a wax & polish and a full gelcoat.

Which One Do You Need?

Wax & Polish vs. Full Gelcoat

About ½ the cost

Wax & Polish

  • Removes mineral & calcium deposits hiding the color
  • Buff, wax, and polish to a bright shine
  • Best when the surface underneath is still sound
  • Fast turnaround, immediate visual difference
VS
Full refinish

Gelcoat

  • Brand-new sprayed ride surface, any RAL color
  • Repairs fiberglass defects before coating
  • Best when the surface itself is worn through
  • A bigger investment that extends slide life
We strip the grime first — you see the true surface, then you decide. No pressure either way.
