Paint Rectification on Marine Clear and Topcoat
Clear and Topcoat Process for Yachts and Boats
It takes time, effort, and knowledge to build and maintain the perfect yacht or boat. At the manufacturing stage, Mirka's marine solutions can make the surface finishing processes more efficient and with a better end result.
The quality of the surface finish and coating can be taken to the next level by sanding or polishing, or removing smaller imperfections such as orange peel, to get an even better lustre.
Topcoat marine paints can be applied after surface preparation to ensure that the topcoat paint adheres to the substrate and provides a long-lasting finish that can resist a variety of weather conditions. Mirka provides solutions for both fresh and fully cured topcoat surfaces.

A better choice for you and the environment
Water-Based Polishes
Mirka' polishes are all water-based and produced in Finland. There are many benefits of choosing a water-based polishing compound.
- Effective permanent removal of scratches - Water-based compounds remove scratches permanently. Solvent-based compounds can lose gloss after cleaning the surface with a degreaser and in some cases, may only temporarily hide scratches.
- Safer for the operator - No hazardous chemicals
- Sustainable - Water-based polishes are better for the environment and do not contain benzene or similar hazardous chemicals.
Solvent-based polishes may be effective in the short run, but they are more damaging and harmful.
