Restoring faded brown guttering.

A 4m length of guttering can expand contract over 25mm in length in different temperatures. All surfaces must be clean dry and free of dirt grease grime and mildew. Plenty in the tub probably used about 1 8 of it on the door as i lashed it on. You can use a paint brush or foam brush.

All waxes polishes silicone etc. Let dry and check that all the oxidation is removed. Paint hydrogen peroxide cream over the faded or discolored area. Should be completely and thoroughly removed.

Treat any mildew with a 50 50 bleach and water solution. Take it all down and turn it round you will see that it is not faded. Scrub the solution on to the surface and allow it to stand for 10 15 minutes then rinse thoroughly. Tried lots of different products to revive a very faded 8 year old black composite front door.

Look all you need is a mildly abrasive metal cleaner. Wearing rubber gloves use a grout sponge to clean and wash the gutters thoroughly with the soapy mixture. Then brush an even layer of the cream over the area. Rinse well with plain water.

You can restore the color and luster of your dull faded gutters with everbrite. If there are missed areas wipe the oxidation with a damp cloth. A paint has to be pretty darn flexible to cope with that. You can use a brush or a cloth.

All together took about an hour or so. This can t be avoided but it can be repaired. I was sceptical as i always am about online reviews but this stuff really does do the job. Clean the gutters with ez prep concentrated cleaner and water.

Work it gently into the plastic give it a few seconds to dry buff it off and there you go. Give you a couple more years probably longer than the paint would stay on. To ensure a good bond.
