Topic: Alternative to Gatorback?

[MoAv]

Hey all!  I've been reading a thread on tos about what sounds like a pretty cool product for our cladding  (You nekked drivers can quit reading now... )

Anyway, this stuff is called Refinish Restorer and is made by a company in Germany.  Finding it here in the states was tough, but I finally found a retailer and ordered it:






It's a pretty big can, total cost with shipping & handling was $53, but if it works like I've read, it will be well worth the cost.

As soon as it stops raining  I'm going to try this and will post before/after pics.

Hey Mo, How does it say to apply this in the directions?

[MoAv]

This is the "multi-lingual" instructions:   



From what I can tell, it's clean, wipe on, let dry for 5-10 minutes, re-apply, let dry.  What the last couple things mean I don't have a clue   

It also says on the back of the can:



-Freshens the colour of faded and mat plastic surfaces
-Protects against weathering
-Silicone Free
-Protects plastic and metal surfaces
-Easily removes traces of polish

Refinish Restorer is a liquid sealer for plastic and metal surfaces exposed to weathering.  It penetrates deeply into the surface, driving out the ingrained dirt, restoring the original colour and provides a long lasting finish.  Refinish Restorer is also very effective at removing traces of polish on e.g. plastic fenders and trims.


It also says:

Keep out of reach of children.  Do not breathe vapour.  Avoid contact with skin and eyes.  If swallowed, do not induce vomiting:  seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label.

Note:  To avoid SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION hang out oil saturated clothes and allow them to dry in the air before disposal.  Do Not allow surplus oil to dry!  Any surplus oil should be removed with a dry and lintfree cloth.

Hmmmm...probably shouldn't smoke around this stuff - ya think?
