Restoring Luxury Houseboat Glass with EnduroShield
A High-End Location with High-Maintenance Challenges
Luxury houseboats are the epitome of comfort and style on the water, offering high-end amenities and stunning aesthetics for those seeking the ultimate escape. At Lake Eildon in Victoria, Australia—a boating paradise six times the size of Sydney Harbour—many houseboats range from $1.5M to $3M, complete with state-of-the-art appliances and premium finishes.
But with constant exposure to water, sun, and environmental elements, keeping these vessels in pristine condition can be a challenge. This is especially true when it comes to maintaining clear, streak-free glass.
This particular houseboat had a problem that was difficult to resolve—but all too common. Its dark-tinted windows had become stained and etched from prolonged sun exposure and mineral-rich lake water. Several previous restoration attempts by other companies had failed to remove the marks, leaving the owner frustrated and searching for a solution that could deliver real results.
A Real-World Solution—and a Real Training Opportunity
The project also served as a valuable training opportunity for a new EnduroShield applicator. Working under supervision, they gained hands-on experience using our restoration and application systems in a real-world setting. It was a practical learning environment that taught them how to adapt to site-specific challenges like direct sunlight and dark-tinted glass.
More Than Just a Great Result
The transformation was immediate. The stained windows were transformed, giving the houseboat a clean, polished appearance. From the inside, the crystal-clear glass offered panoramic views of Lake Eildon, improving both aesthetics and the onboard experience. With EnduroShield’s glass protection, the windows are now protected against future staining and etching, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and preserving the glass over time.
“The end result far exceeded my expectations. The glass looks brand new again. Something previous contractors couldn’t achieve despite numerous attempts,”

This project not only delivered a fantastic result for the client but also demonstrated how practical, on-the-job projects can double as training opportunities. For our new EnduroShield applicator, it was a valuable experience that built confidence and capability from day one.
