RV & MARINE DETAILING
At Kiwi ShineWorX, we deliver premium, fully mobile restoration and ceramic protection services specifically engineered for marine vessels, RVs, and motorhomes across the Wairarapa. New Zealand’s harsh UV rays, salt spray, and road grime quickly oxidise gelcoats and fade paint, which is why our high-precision machine polishing and professional-grade ceramic coatings are designed to create a semi-permanent, hydrophobic shield that completely eliminates the need for seasonal waxing. From removing stubborn hull algae and road tar to safely stripping old decals without surface damage, we combine technical precision with unmatched convenience to protect your pride and joy for the long haul.
