The Difference

Engineered for the water.
Built to last.

Two complementary technologies — paint protection film and nano-ceramic coatings — engineered for the harshest conditions on saltwater and freshwater alike.

Saltwater & UV Defense

PPF blocks physical impact, dock rash, and chemical staining. Ceramic scatters up to 99% of UVA & UVB — preventing the yellowing and oxidation that fades gel coat over time.

Hydrophobic Surface

Water, salt, fuel residue, and biofouling release on contact. Below the waterline, reduced drag can improve fuel efficiency. Above it, washdowns take half the time.

Multi-Year Durability

Feynlab nano-ceramic marine coatings carry a 2+ year manufacturer warranty. Yacht Armor PPF carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty. Both are removable, replaceable, and backed in writing.

Our Mission

Built on the belief that craftsmanship deserves protection.

Deluxe Shield was founded by an installer with over seven years of hands-on experience protecting marine vessels in some of the most demanding conditions on the water. We exist for one reason: to preserve the integrity of yachts and boats that were never meant to be ordinary.

"Every vessel deserves to be protected with the same level of care and precision with which it was built."

We work by appointment across the Dallas–Fort Worth lakes and marinas — Lake Lewisville, Lake Grapevine, Lake Ray Hubbard, and beyond. Installations are performed in a controlled environment at the marina, boatyard, or your property.

Services

Three disciplines.
One standard.

Long-term protection with two of the most respected systems in the marine industry — Yacht Armor paint protection film and Feynlab nano-ceramic coatings. Backed by full-service detailing that keeps a vessel between installs.

01
Yacht Armor™ Authorized Installer

Marine Paint Protection Film

Self-healing marine protection film purpose-built for vessels. Bonds to gel coat and paint — regenerating from most surface-level damage the way bare gel coat never can. Defends against scratches, dock rash, UV, salt, and chemical staining — and eliminates the ongoing cost of regular polishing, waxing, and detailing. Available in clear (SHIELD), high-impact (SHIELD PRO), flex-cut (SHIELD FLEX), matte clear (GHOST), and 36+ color options (HUE, ABYSS, COVERT).

  • Self-healing — minor scratches and dock rash disappear with heat
  • Hulls, topsides, transoms
  • Outboard engine cowlings
  • Helm electronics & MFD screen protectors
  • Sport-fish vessel masks & rocket launchers
  • 3-year manufacturer warranty

Marine Ceramic Coatings

Nano-ceramic marine coating engineered by Feynlab™ — the gold standard for marine surface protection. UV-scattering nanoparticles, chemical resistance, and an ultra-hydrophobic surface. Scatters up to 99% of UVA and UVB. Feynlab offers multiple marine coating tiers — we specify the right product for the vessel, use case, and budget.

Boat Detailing

Full-service marine detailing for boats of every size and class — from wakeboard boats and sport fish to yachts. The care that keeps a vessel looking her best between installs, and the pipeline to premium PPF or ceramic protection when you're ready.

The Combined Stack

Film for physical defense. Ceramic for chemical and UV defense.

For owners who want the most complete protection their vessel can carry, we install both technologies as a single integrated system — Yacht Armor PPF on the high-impact and high-wear surfaces, with Feynlab nano-ceramic over the full vessel. Quoted as one project with a combined timeline.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

What's the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?

Paint Protection Film (Yacht Armor) is a clear, self-healing film bonded to the surface — a physical, sacrificial layer that absorbs impact, dock rash, and abrasion. Minor scratches heal with heat. Removable. Ceramic Coating (Feynlab) is a chemical nano-coating that bonds to the gel coat — providing UV scattering, chemical resistance, and an ultra-hydrophobic surface. Not a physical barrier; works at the molecular level. They protect against different things. Combined, they cover both.

What does "self-healing" actually mean?

Yacht Armor's self-healing film carries memory in its molecular structure. When the film picks up minor surface scratches, swirl marks, or dock rash, the bonds re-form when warmed — either by direct sunlight on a hot day or by a heat gun in minutes. Deeper cuts that penetrate the film thickness don't self-heal, but the film below them protects the gel coat regardless. This is something no wax, sealant, or ceramic coating can do — it is a property unique to high-grade PPF.

Can PPF and ceramic coatings be combined on the same vessel?

Yes — and for owners who want the most complete protection, this is the recommended approach. Yacht Armor PPF is installed first on high-impact and high-wear surfaces. Feynlab ceramic is then applied over the entire vessel, including the film. Film handles physical damage; ceramic handles UV, chemical, and hydrophobic performance.

How long does the protection last?

Yacht Armor PPF is backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, delamination, and cracking. Feynlab nano-ceramic marine coatings carry a 2+ year manufacturer warranty with proper aftercare. Both extend well beyond the lifespan of waxes and sealants (3–6 months) or consumer-grade products.

Where is the installation performed?

Most installations are performed at the marina, boatyard, or your property where the vessel is stored. Large projects and full ceramic applications are often staged at a partner facility with a controlled, dust-managed environment to ensure flawless results.

What does it cost?

Every project is custom-quoted based on vessel size, surface area, complexity, and finish. Smaller projects (screen protectors, single cowling, partial coatings) start at a few hundred dollars. Full-vessel PPF or ceramic projects range from $1,500 to $15,000+ depending on length and scope. Combined PPF + Ceramic packages are quoted as a single integrated project.

Do you also offer boat detailing on its own — or only with PPF/ceramic?

Both. Full-service detailing is offered as its own service for boats of every size — full detail wash, polishing & wax, metal polishing, cushion cleaning, and bottom cleaning. Detailing is often the first step to a PPF or ceramic project — a properly prepped surface is essential to a successful install — but many clients use detailing on its own for weekly or seasonal maintenance.

Do you offer aftercare and maintenance plans?

Yes. Feynlab-coated vessels are maintained with FEYNLAB Marine Wash and Hybrid Ceramic Detailer to maximize the 3+ year lifespan. We also offer annual inspection and maintenance plans that include surface assessment, minor PPF repairs, and ceramic refresh applications. Plans start at $250 per year.
