Product Description
POLYTROL®, which does not contain silicone, is a deep penetrating oil that restores the original look and finish to gelcoat, plastic, metal and other surfaces. Drying to a tough, long lasting, flexible finish, POLYTROL® penetrates deeply, re-wetting the pigments so restoring the colour and lustre, which have been lost through exposure to sunlight, rain and pollution. On bare metals POLYTROL® restores the shine and protects against corrosion.
