New cladding product?

[ScottinMA]

Here in New England the commercials on the TV are pushing a product that is sold at Home Depot for example called Restora (if memory is correct). You paint it on to sun bleached Vinyl shutters for example and it brings it back to it's original luster and supposedly lasts for years. Now wouldn't that be great if it worked on our cladding. Has anyone tried it yet or am I to be the guinea pig?

haven't tried it... but looking forward for some pictures from ya I can even give you a hand if you want.

Looks like I'll be testing this product. More to follow.

PS. Thanks Yefim but you would have to be insane to try to get over the Sagamore Bridge at this time of the year : )

It doesn't appear to be carried by Home Depot. They only carry two flood products right now - both paint additives. It looks like this is a new product. I'd give them a call to see about a place in your area that will carry it.

Steve,

It is a Flood product. Thanks for looking into it. Our Home Depot may not know whether they have it or not. It the kind of Home Depot that you're best looking for yourself rather than counting on anyone there to be of assistance.

I went to our Cape Cod based Home Depot today to purchase "Restora". It is not available here because it contains chemicals that are prohibited for this area. No stores are allowed to carry a wide variety of products that might endanger the ground water supply so I'll need to make a trip somewhere to pick it up at some point. The guy behind the desk at Home Depot said that he gets a dozen or more requests for the product daily so there is some demand for it. I suspect that it might work pretty well for our cladding and may not require the frequent applications that most products require. In fact, three years per application is the advertisement. Would have jumped at the opportunity to try it. I'll post results if I ever get my hands on some of it.
