Polytrol Colour Restorer, Easy to Apply & Deeply Penetrating, Perfect for Restoring Metals, Plastics, GRPs, PVCs, UPVCs, Composites, Chromes, Gelcoats & More - 1 Litre

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.

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.

Good quality

Really happy with this colour restorer.Have used it for one treatment to a composite red front door and it looks so much better! (Will need a second coat to complete the job) Easy to use, easy to apply and dries fairly quickly.Only note is it has a very strong smell but not unpleasant. Cost effective, and pleased with the result so far.

I’ve tried countless products over the years to bring life back to the faded plastic trim on my car, but nothing truly delivered—until now. This colour restorer is simply incredible! From the moment I applied it, I knew it was in a league of its own. The results were nothing short of perfect. Every inch of trim looked brand new, with a deep, rich color that enhanced the car's overall appearance. What amazed me most was how easy it was to apply and how long-lasting the effect seems to be—even after rain and washing, the shine remains intact. If, like me, you've been left disappointed by other so-called "restorers," I highly recommend giving this product a try. It’s worth every penny and will save you money in the long run. Bravo to the makers of this product—you've earned a loyal customer.

I admit that I am very hard to please, so very rarely do I leave a review. But having used this product I was so impressed with the final result that I just had to. I had a faded composite black front door. Having seen the reviews I purchased this product but didn’t expect it to be as good as it is. I washed the door first, left to dry for 24hrs then applied the Polytrol with a small brush before wiping off the excess with a lint free cloth. I was amazed with the result. It is like a brand new door again. It is very easy to apply and a being like an oil type product a little goes a long way. I don’t know how long it will last but it only took about 45 minutes to do so if I have to do it once a year then that’s no problem. Highly recommend this product. It’s amazing. I took before and after results. Well worth the money.

Used this on my twenty year old GRP garage doors; they are not in bad condition, just faded by sunlight. The surface finish is a wood grain effect. I cleaned the doors with a detergent solution and allowed to dry. I was a little concerned about the instructions to “wipe off excess” before the product dries, so decided to use a brush for application, bearing in mind that it needed to be worked into the grooves of the grain effect. I used a 2” Dulux Perfect Finish paintbrush as it has very soft bristle tips. Poured a little Polytrol into a small plastic tray and set off! It was very easy to apply using just a small amount on the brush tips. I brushed out, spreading the product thinly until I could see that the brush needed reloading; this way, I managed to avoid runs and didn’t seem to leave excess product on the surface. Obviously, the product cannot “recolour” the surface, but the effect is immediate - the surface glows and the appearance much improved with the grain effect more pronounced - see photos. I’m really pleased with the results and carried on to use it on our composite front door, which also had become dulled from weather effects. The product dries over a couple of days in warm weather and does feel a little tacky at first, but it soon hardens off. A few tips; don’t apply in the sun, in the warmer weather think about all the bits and pieces that float around and might land on your handiwork. Although I applied it in the early morning, I raised the doors to the open position during the first afternoon to protect from sunlight and allow to dry slowly. I would estimate that I used about a third of a 500ml tin to cover two doors of approx 4.2 square metres each, which is far better coverage than the 19 square metres per litre advised on the tin. There are no instructions for brush cleaning, however I found that soaking the brush in a strong detergent solution overnight; just don’t plan on using the brush again for gloss paint, it might do a couple more times for Polytrol. I also tried the product on 30+ years old rainwater down pipes that had gone from black to light gray and was surprised to see a great improvement - see photos. Final top tip - if you intend to keep the leftover product, clean the cap and spout well and apply a bit of Vaseline to the spout threads, otherwise you’ll struggle to get it off in the future!

WOW just used this on our front door and the results are amazing 👏

Cunde mucho y deja el PVC como nuevo

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
