I have, or had, a very badly weathered black composite front door. It looked almost bleached in parts of the bottom panels and across the bottom. I was hoping that applying this polytrol would help a very shabby door look somewhat better. Without doubt, it has exceeded expectations. The door is glossy, and there are no white bits remaining. It even cleaned up the letterbox, handle and knocker. I applied it by brush first and then with a lint-free cloth, and I rubbed off the excess. I applied it in the morning when it was coolest and no direct sun. I was concerned that it would be a gloopy mess, especially since the temperature yesterday was so high and it was a little sticky into the evening. It was easy to apply and didn't drip. This morning I can see that some areas (the faux wood grain) where the weathering was so bad are a little lighter. I think rereading the instructions I could have left it a little longer (I probably left it 10 minutes working in sections) and worked into those areas a little more before wiping off. Definitely value for money. This was something I thought I'd try before reluctantly buying a new door - I really didn't want all the hassle that goes with it either. You only need a relatively small amount so I have loads of the tin left ready for the next time. I used it on the door furniture and the security lights, so very handy and versatile. An easy DIY project and very satisfying because it did work well. Review: Does exactly what is says on the tin. - Follow the instructions and the product is first class. Used to restore a black south facing composite front door . application by brush was easy leave to semi dry for 20 mins then wipe over to ensure no even application ( you can buff it up if your after a really shiny finish) . Allowed to fully dry for a further few hours and the finish is first class. A little goes a long way so bout I will have to buy again although I am looking at other items / areas that would benefit from an application. ## Features - Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. - Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. - Deep Colour Restoration for Faded Surfaces - Restores the original colour and lustre of dull, weather-worn plastics, gelcoat, metal, PVC and UPVC surfaces affected by sun exposure, rain or pollution.

Absolutely stinks though. Not advisable to use on the car bumpers. Personally speaking. They looked great initially. Sadly the product reacted with my bumpers and peeling started. Not great. However, I used it on the front door and it was absolutely amazing. Really glossy an excellent results. I guess it depends on what your intention is. Application is relatively easy but just make sure to wear gloves. ## Frequently Bought Together - OWATROL Color Restorer, Car Bumpers, Chrome, Plastic Restorer for Cars penetrating Oil for Multipurpose, Metals to Restore Faded Plastic and Surfaces Polytrol (1,6 US Quart) - OWATROL Oil Rust Inhibitor for Metal & Paint Conditioner - Prevents Corrosion, Enhances Paint Adhesion, Smooth Application, Heat-Resistant, Ideal for Metal, Wood & Industrial Machinery --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/52676371-owatrol-polytrol-color-restorer](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/52676371-owatrol-polytrol-color-restorer) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
