What is marine protection film?

Marine protection film is a clear, self-healing urethane film applied to high-wear areas of your boat. It provides invisible protection against scratches, impacts, dock rash, and UV damage while maintaining your boat's original appearance.

How long does marine protection film last?

Quality marine protection film lasts 5-10 years depending on exposure and maintenance. The film is UV-resistant to prevent yellowing. MAD Soaps uses professional-grade film designed specifically for harsh marine environments like the Chesapeake Bay.

Is MAD Soaps certified for marine protection film?

Yes, MAD Soaps is the first certified marine protection film installer in Maryland. Our team has specialized training in marine applications, ensuring proper installation without bubbles, edges, or lifting—even in the demanding Chesapeake Bay environment.

What areas of my boat should I protect with film?

Common protection areas include: bow and leading edges (dock contact), rub rails and gunwales, high-traffic deck areas, swim platforms, T-top and hardtop edges, and any zones prone to scratches or impacts. We customize coverage to your boat's needs.

Can protection film be removed without damage?

Yes, professional-grade marine protection film can be removed without damaging the underlying gelcoat or paint. The adhesive is designed for clean removal. If you sell your boat or want to update the film, it comes off cleanly.

Do you offer mobile protection film installation?

Yes, MAD Soaps provides mobile marine protection film installation throughout Maryland within a 50-mile radius of Annapolis. We come to your marina or dock. Service areas include all Chesapeake Bay marinas, Severna Park, Edgewater, Kent Island, and Eastport.

What's the difference between protection film and ceramic coating?

Protection film provides physical barrier protection against scratches and impacts—it's actual armor. Ceramic coating provides chemical protection, UV resistance, and hydrophobic properties but won't stop a scratch. Many boat owners use both: film on high-impact areas, ceramic everywhere else.
