What is Owatrol Polytrol?

Polytrol is our highly-penetrating, colour restoring oil that can be used on tarnished plastics, gelcoats, metals and other surfaces, to bring back the colour and lustre to dull or tarnished surfaces.

It works by penetrating deep into the substrate, re-wetting dried out pigments and restoring the surface’s lustre and colour that has been damaged by exposure to sunlight, rain and pollution. Also, when used on metal surfaces, Polytrol also gives long-term protection against corrosion.

Application of Polytrol

Polytrol is very quick and easy to apply and is a ‘wipe on, wipe off’ type of product:

• Begin by thoroughly cleaning the surface you wish to treat and allow it to fully dry.
• Next, apply Polytrol with a cloth or brush, working it into the surface. Be sure to work in areas which can be completed in 10-20 mins maximum, to ensure even coverage.
• Finally, wipe off the excess with a lint free cloth before it becomes tacky. Remember, Polytrol’s place is inside the surface, not a coating on top of it. For a shinier finish, buff the surface with a lint-free polishing cloth.
