Owatrol Gelcoat Restorer, Colour Restorer For Dull Or Faded Surfaces

Product Description

MARINE POLYTROL® is a penetrating oil, which does not contain any waxes or silicones. Quick and simple to use, it is the easy way to restore colour in just a few minutes to any surface dulled and faded by the weather e.g. gelcoat, plastic, paint, varnish. MARINE POLYTROL® penetrates the surface, re-wetting the pigments so restoring look of the finish to its original colour and lustre. Restoring the shine to dull and oxidised metals without the need for polishing, MARINE POLYTROL® provides a tough, long lasting, waterproof, flexible finish and corrosion protection on metals.
