How To Restore Acid Washed Pontoons back to New Factory Finish Appearance?

Skipper June 4, 2025 Ask The Skipper

Robert Zeek asked:

Marina Tech just acid washed my pontoons tri toon. Now white grayish looking and dull. I was told he would clean below the waterline, only via brush and pressure washer. Will your product help restore back to a silver -shiny color?

Hi Robert,

Yes, our Alumabuff^® system can restore the factory mill finish to your pontoons. After you can protect them with Alumetron^® clear coat and VS721^® fouling release coating. That way your pontoons can stay clean and foul free (with a little bit of maintenance) all season, plus you will get better performance and fuel economy. When you restore and protect your pontoons with these products, the finish can last up to 10 years and it even comes with a 3 Year Factory Warranty. That can restore and even add a lot of value to your boat.

Here’s some links to our How To Videos and some testimonials from happy customers:

Here’s a link to our Pontoon Calculator that will calculate the number of square feet of your pontoons and the quantity of products you will need.

Another suggestion; pontoon boat owners are always complaining about damage to their vinyl seating and the cost of reupholstering. You may want to try our EZ Vinyl Cleaner^® and Vinyl Guard^® , before you have a problem.
