Owatrol Marine Polytrol Gelcoat Surface Restorer

Description

Owatrol Gelcoat Surface Restorer is an oil that penetrates deep into gelcoat to re-wet the pigment and so restore the dull, faded look of the gelcoat to its original colour and lustre. The oil then dries to a tough, durable and flexible finish. Owatrol Gelcoat Surface Restorer eliminates the need for expensive waxes and polishes that sit on the surface and dry out quickly. Easy to apply using a cloth or soft brush, it’s ready to wipe off in just 10 minutes! It does not leave a film when dried and so will not peel or flake. Can be used on both horizontal and vertical surfaces and can even be used on fibreglass (GRP).

Ideal Uses

• Reviving the gelcoat on your boat
• Restoring the shine to metal fixtures
• Rejuvenating flat or chalky paint dulled by weathering
• Brightening the surface of tiles in stone, terracota, marble, slate, etc.
• Reviving the color of faded GRP surfaces

Preparation

Make sure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from any possible contaminants such as dirt or grease. Thoroughly remove all waxes, polishes, silicone etc. Treat any mildew with a 50:50 bleach and water solution. Scrub the solution on to the surface and allow it to stand for 10-15 minutes then rinse thoroughly. Clean the surface with warm soapy water or Owatrol Deck Cleaner, rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry for a minimum of 24 hours depending on surface.

Application

Always work in areas that can be completed 10-20 minutes to ensure an even appearance. If the surface absorbs the Gelcoat Restorer unevenly (i.e. some matt and some shiny patches) move any surplus oil from shiny areas to matt areas. Wipe off any excess Gelcoat Restorer with a lint-free cloth before it becomes tacky. For a shinier finish, buff the surface with a lint-free polishing cloth.

First, saturate a soft cloth with Gelcoat Restorer and wipe it on. With a soft cloth, wipe off any excess within 10 minutes. Next gently polish with a lint-free cloth to a new sheen. Gelcoat Restorer is not a surface coating – it should be worked into the surface rather than left on top. DO NOT use Gelcoat Restorer on white surfaces – it will not work as it is designed to restore pigments.
