Recommendations Before Application
Before applying POLYTROL, always ensure that surfaces are clean and free from grease, oil, silicones, and are always dry. Cover areas that will not be treated.
If cleaning is necessary, use a solvent on metal or a mixture of water and detergent on plastic.
Rinse well and allow to dry for at least 12 hours.
Cover areas that will not be treated.
Application
Carefully apply a layer of POLYTROL. Watch out for runs (scrub metal surfaces well with fine wire wool well soaked with POLYTROL)
Leave it on for 10-20 minutes before removing the excess material by wiping it with a clean cloth or paper towel.
We're talking about an amazing product!! I applied it to the tiles in my bathroom that had completely faded and they became exactly as they were when purchased!!! Like new!
I used it on unpainted black plastic parts of the machine, this product does not restore or repair the color in any way, it is simply to give a shine that is not permanent but lasts quite a while. After a few washes, it needs to be reapplied. Essentially, it is like applying engine oil to your plastics with the difference that it lasts longer. It does not do magic in any case, but there is definitely a difference, even if temporary
I got it because of the reviews I saw here, but it didn't do for me what I saw in many videos on YouTube. Maybe I did something wrong; I just followed what the instructions said....
I cleaned the plastic parts of the machine, washed them, they dried, and then I applied the liquid.
After ten minutes, I wiped it off, and it somewhat changed color, but it didn't do what they say....
I say again that maybe I did something wrong.....
Yes, it does what it says but follow the instructions and wipe well. Good color refresh and it also shines a bit. It lasted me 3 washes in an automatic wash, no more.
Because this is an extensive review, I will briefly mention that I am analyzing the process of applying the product to the entire car, in case someone wants to know if it is feasible.
I know that this particular product is mainly advertised for the plastic parts of the car, but since my car is ancient and was in a terrible condition, I took the courage and... applied it to ALL the exterior surfaces (plastics and metal).
I initially used a brush to spread a moderate amount on the surfaces and then evenly distributed it using a sponge roller. I then left it for about 5-7 minutes (I had seen from other reviews that it dries very quickly) and then cleaned off the excess product with old rags (to avoid leaving lint as described by other users). The whole process was done in a shady area in the afternoon to prevent the oil from immediately sticking, and I worked in sections, as the car panels are divided. The front bumper was the most challenging part, as it had many details. VERY IMPORTANT for anyone who wants to do the same, the car must be washed first as thoroughly as possible to remove dirt and dust.
After leaving it for a day, I noticed that there were inconsistencies on the surfaces that resulted from the way I wiped it with the rags. To fix this, I used the roller again, but this time with a very small amount of product. With one application, I made long, straight strokes all over the car and then did not wipe it with anything (a risky move), but there was no residue left from the oil. I also applied a little bit on the headlights, which I had cleaned with another cleaner earlier to make them shinier.
If you want to be convinced of the results, you can simply look at the photos. The car has TRANSFORMED and looks many years younger. The black plastics on the sides became black again, and the red color returned to a very vibrant and glossy state. The important thing now is whether this shine will last. I know that plastics retain their color because I had applied a small portion a month ago and have since taken it for a wash. As for the main body, I will come back after some time to compare its appearance then.
Excellent, gives shine, restores color quite possibly there is a dose of exaggeration in transparency but it is quite hydrophobic and lasts very long I have been using it for 2 months now and it lasts even more
Awesome result. It revived the faded 13-year-old plastic of the machine in 5 minutes. So far, after a month, they have not faded. Overall, it gives shine but does not fade. Easy application with a simple pass and wipe. I will definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to make their machine or car plastics look new. I also noticed that it does not wash off with water and does not attract dust, stones, or dirt. The best in its category. Of course, its price is high, but with a small quantity, you can do a lot of work. So, there is no need to buy a liter if you only have one machine. I will definitely use it again if needed!
I bought it 2 months ago. I immediately used it on the plastic parts of my car and even though I have washed it several times, it has not faded yet.
Then I used it to maintain the scratches on my vacation home. There, I really loved it as it made the scratches (brown sliding ones) look like new. I will come back for evaluation.
I bought it to rejuvenate the weathered plastics of a scooter. The result was very good, they looked like new! I also tried it on other car plastics and it did a good job as well! Just one tip, before using it, the surfaces should be quite clean, ideally washed with a sponge to remove all dirt, and the result will prove you right...
Incredible results, just be careful to wipe it off after a few minutes and be careful with the "water" if you applied it with a brush (I learned it the hard way)
I put it on a Beverly 350 2016 model scooter.
Before installing it, after every good wash, all the black plastic parts would turn gray when the water dried.
After a good wash, I repeat, after a good wash and drying, you apply it to the plastic parts you want, the black ones, and it really makes them black as if it came straight from the factory (you might say it relaxed). I was amazed too.
They say once a year is enough. In 5-6 months, I have done it 2-3 times. Maybe it's an exaggeration.
I also applied it to other plastic parts (burgundy color, mechanical suspensions) and I was very satisfied.
It's worth the money
Clearly the best product for burnt plastics!! Follow the instructions on the packaging for application and of course, before applying it, thoroughly clean the plastic, even with a brush with plastic bristles, to remove any residue that may prevent you from achieving the promised results!
Much talk about mediocre results. Okay, it shines the plastics but it definitely doesn't restore them. The more damage there is, the more impression it makes on you, but only because it shines. It catches your eye, but what shines is not gold! It is too expensive for its results. To be honest, I didn't believe it could work miracles, but the videos on YouTube deceive you. You need a relatively small amount for one machine. It sticks quickly and is difficult to remove after 10-15 minutes if it is 30 degrees. I will come back with duration. I will not buy it again.
Second Evaluation. From 3 stars, I lower it to 2 because its performance over time is not expected.
It is worth buying, it does a very good job. I tried it on an AYGO with faded bumpers without washing, cleaning directly from the box with a sponge, and the "pink" that I saw before suddenly became bright red! Also, with a little rubbing, it covered the areas where the existing varnish was peeling off and showing an unsightly line. I still need to see its durability, although it didn't take much material, so the 500ml should be enough for many uses. I also tested it on plastic from a pig without any discoloration issues, they were just dirty. It cleaned them perfectly, now I want to see what will stick to them...
Update: After one month. It doesn't hold dust or mud, it withstands washings and rain. We'll see about snow...
It is a type of varnish, it definitely absorbs into plastics and definitely lasts a long time. Now I have doubts about its composition and safety on rubber parts...
If the plastics are just dull, Polytrol makes them shiny (but a simple silicone spray can also do that). If the plastics have faded and the color has worn off, Polytrol does nothing to restore it. I consider it expensive and overrated compared to what it can offer.
Unbelievable! I didn't expect it to work so well! You apply it with a brush, after 10 or 15 minutes you wipe it off. The plastic has absorbed just the right amount! Not more, because it will start to stick. A clean cloth without lint for wiping. Also, wash the car beforehand so it doesn't have any dust. Also, don't use it under direct sunlight because it will dry quickly and you won't have time to wipe it off and it will stick. Finally, choose a day with no wind because little things will stick on top. WORTH IT! and repeat every 6 months for perfect results.
Very good. I used it on a scooter and it became brand new. Also on plastic chairs. On the scooter, after ten minutes, you wipe it with a cloth that does not leave lint. Do not leave it for too long because then it will stick.
I used it on plastic chairs and left it without wiping it. It dried in about a day, but the shine it left on the chairs is incredible.
If you use it according to the instructions, it works wonders. It's worth it. It can also be used on windows and aluminum balcony doors that have lost their shine.
In a friend's 10-year-old scooter, the unpainted plastics, which had turned gray, returned to their factory matte black with just one coat. The pictures speak for themselves.
