OWATROL Polytrol - Color Restorer

I have been waiting for the rain to hold up since I bought this last year. I have, or had, a very badly weathered black composite front door. It looked almost bleached in parts of the bottom panels and across the bottom. I was hoping that applying this polytrol would help a very shabby door look somewhat better. Without doubt, it has exceeded expectations. The door is glossy, and there are no white bits remaining. It even cleaned up the letterbox, handle and knocker. I applied it by brush first and then with a lint-free cloth, and I rubbed off the excess. I applied it in the morning when it was coolest and no direct sun. I was concerned that it would be a gloopy mess, especially since the temperature yesterday was so high and it was a little sticky into the evening. It was easy to apply and didn't drip. This morning I can see that some areas (the faux wood grain) where the weathering was so bad are a little lighter. I think rereading the instructions I could have left it a little longer (I probably left it 10 minutes working in sections) and worked into those areas a little more before wiping off. Definitely value for money. This was something I thought I'd try before reluctantly buying a new door - I really didn't want all the hassle that goes with it either. You only need a relatively small amount so I have loads of the tin left ready for the next time. I used it on the door furniture and the security lights, so very handy and versatile. An easy DIY project and very satisfying because it did work well.

Use to bring an old PVC front door back to life. The grey had faded in the sun but with a few applications of this it looked great again. Working or drying time is as per the can instructions and is pretty quick. It does smell when in use to make sure the area is well vented. The product has the thickness of oil and is applied using a cloth. Ensure you use a white cloth as the product will cause colour transfer onto the plastic (I found this out by using a green cloth :( ). The excess is very easy to remove and mostly worked in. It offers future protection from fading and can reapplied later if needed.

Incredible product - I needed to refinish my front door so a small tin was purchased. Cleaned my door off with UPVC cleaner, let that evaporate then painted Polytrol on with a brush. Be advised - a little goes a long way - pour a tiny bit into a paint tin then add more if you need to. I found that the if I painted the top half of the door, and used a lint free cloth to wipe the rest of the door down, the cloth carried the product exactly where it was needed. It’s really easy to use, coverage is fantastic, only needs a single coat at this point. It doesn’t go on thick, it really doesn’t need to. It was touch dry in about an hour and I honestly forget to check again until the following day. The small tin has loads left in it, I can easily do my door again for the next two years, so value for money is top notch. I don’t think I’ll use the UPVC cleaner until I need to recoat the door, but I suspect a warm damp cloth will clean it up a treat.

Very pleased with this. Wish I'd know about this sooner. This is for composite doors and if in the sun, the varnish can chip off. This restors the door to look like new. Our lower door was very pale, patchy and looked shabby. It looked completely different to the top half. Now it looks like a new door. Easy to apply.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product for restoring faded plastic and trim. Very easy to apply and the results are impressive – it brings back the original colour and leaves a like-new finish. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a long time. Highly recommended!

Owatrol Colour restorer is amazing product. And it certainly does what I need it to do. Our Allibert furniture has become faded and applying this product has made it all look like new. I hope the effect lasts the summer. I also applied it to our hose reel casing and that again looks like new. I have bought a second tin and keep looking for items to apply it too.

I have used Owatrol twice to restore colour to PVC doors and it has impressed on both occasions. Easy to apply and brings out the richness in colour you would expect from a brand new door. Genuinely one of those products that does exaxtly what it promises. I would give it a 6th star if I could.

Restores life back to your front door, making it new once again. Our door was faded in areas and looked patchy. The product is like a thick varnish and should be applied sparingly, if done this way you won't need to wipe it over with a cloth as the directions recommend. Ensure the weather is dry and with little wind as this could attract dust and particles that will readily stick to the door while it is drying. Give it a good acouple of days for it to dry completely, then you can see if the are any small areas you have missed. A very good product that I would readily recommend.

Ger nytt liv i plast. Direkt effekt som håller länge. Underbart medel !!! Lätt att applicera. Ett måste i garaget !!!

Plast detaljerna blev som nya.

Finally found it! This is the product I have been searching for years. It restores many things but I tried it on my 40 year old Musket Brown Alcoa Aluminum down spouts ,soffit and fascia, Brown faded aluminum around my windows and trim around doors. Shines like better than new!! It has been on the aluminum for about 8 months and it hasn’t faded or showed any signs of peeling or yellowing. It is an oil like product that dries to a shine . I tried different application methods and for me the sponge paint brushes worked the best. Nice and smooth. Select the width depending on what you are using it on. I have a 1997 Gator and it’s always been garage kept but the green plastic showed its age. Shiny like new although obviously it doesn’t take out scratches in the soft plastic. This product is a game changer… between a plastic and rubber dressing and a clear paint. I am a happy camper and… a little goes a long way!

Very good product,highly recommend

Produit posé sur des lames occultantes initialement ral noir qui avaient passé au bout de 10 ans au soleil. Le résultat est incroyable, elles sont comme neuves avec un brillant impressionnant. Reste à savoir combien de temps le rendu durera mais après quelques pluies le resultat reste toujours probant. Je préconise de ne pas passer de chiffon après pose et laisser sécher le produit tel que ... ça évitera les peluches ou poussières adhérentes car le produit se gélifie, c'est certainement ce qui explique les désagréments exprimés pour ceux qui essaient avec un chiffon ou microfibre. En tout cas je vais en racheter pour refaire toutes mes clôtures. Fonctionne aussi sur poteaux métalliques et zinc. Belle qualité
