FAQs
What types of doors can I use this on?
Rustins Door Reviver is suitable for composite doors, UPVC doors, and UPVC window frames. It can also be used on UPVC cladding and plastic garden furniture.
How often do I need to reapply it?
The frequency of reapplication depends on the weather exposure and the condition of the surface. Typically, it may need reapplication every 6-12 months to maintain the restored colour and shine.
Can this product change the colour of my door?
No, this product is designed to restore the original colour and shine. It does not act as a paint and will not significantly change the door's colour. It works best on faded surfaces of the original colour.
Do I need to prepare the surface before applying?
Yes, it is crucial to clean the surface thoroughly to remove dirt, grime, and any existing residues. The surface must be completely dry before application for best results.
Can I use this on painted UPVC?
While it is designed for unpainted UPVC and composite materials, it's recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Results may vary on painted surfaces.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity. Allow the treated surface to dry for at least a few hours, and ideally 24 hours, before exposure to heavy rain or washing.
Troubleshooting
Product not restoring colour effectively
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Severely faded or damaged surfaces may require multiple coats or may not be fully restorable with this product.
Uneven finish or streaks
Apply the product evenly with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid applying too much product at once. Ensure consistent pressure and direction during application. If streaks appear, try buffing gently with a clean, dry cloth once it has had a chance to haze slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, or old residues. A mild detergent and water can be used for cleaning, followed by a thorough rinse and complete drying.
Compatibility: This product is designed for composite doors, UPVC window frames and doors, fascias, cladding, and plastic garden furniture. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and desired results, especially on coloured plastics.
Care: After application, allow the reviver to cure fully as per the product instructions. Clean treated surfaces gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
