Owatrol Polytrol Colour Restorer

Polytrol is a deep penetrating oil which restores the original colour and appearance of dull or tarnished plastics, gelcoats, metals, and other surfaces.

It penetrates the surface, re-wetting the pigments to restore their lustre and colour which has been lost through exposure to sunlight, rain, and pollution and it also gives corrosion protection.  When used on tarnished metals, it brings back the shine and gives long-term protection against corrosion.

Polytrol is now available in a handy 250ml spray can, great for quick application and difficult to reach areas.

Directions for use:

• Simple to apply using a cloth or soft brush, it’s ready to wipe off in just 10 minutes! It can be used on both horizontal and vertical surfaces and can even be used on fibreglass (GRP). Polytrol dries to a tough and long-lasting flexible finish which does not leave a film – so it won’t peel or flake.
• Clean the surface with warm soapy water or Owatrol Net-Trol, rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry for a minimum of 24 hours depending on the surface.
• Always work in areas that can be completed 10-20 minutes to ensure an even appearance. If the surface absorbs the Polytrol unevenly (i.e. some matt and some shiny patches) move any surplus oil from shiny areas to matt areas. Wipe off any excess Polytrol with a lint-free cloth before it becomes tacky. For a shinier finish, buff the surface with a lint-free polishing cloth. (When using the Polytrol 250ml spray can, simply spray on liberally, wipe off any excess and leave to dry.)
• Clean any tools used with white spirit. Polytrol is non-flammable, however any rags, steel wool etc. soaked in Polytrol may spontaneously catch fire if improperly discarded. Rags, steel wool etc must be saturated with water after use or placed in a sealed, water-filled metal container, before disposing of them with household waste. Rags may be laid flat and air-dried before discarding.

Tips for use:

• Cover and protect everything you do not wish to treat.
• Apply between +5°C and +35°C.
• Do not apply in direct sunlight or on to hot surfaces.
• Do not allow excess Polytrol to dry and create a film on the surface (always remove excess product).
• Do not use Polytrol on white surfaces.
