Anybody ever hear of or use this product?
http://www.vinylrenu.com/ - It claims that you clean a vinyl house, then apply this stuff like a stain, and it restores and protects the vinyl for up to 10 years. It seems almost too good to be true - like if it worked that well EVERYONE would be using it...
I'm very interested because we have neighborhood after neighborhood of big vinyl "McMansions" around here that are looking pretty sad. I pressure wash a lot of these places, and sometimes even give them whole-body scrubdowns, but they never seem to look that great after because of residual chalking and fading.
The worst is when we take shutters down to paint them and it still looks like the house has shutters - lol - but it really illustrates how crappy the exposed vinyl really looks.
Anyway, If this stuff works, and isnt just some crackpot product, I could really market it around here and do "Vinyl Restorations". I can't believe there arent more products out there for vinyl seeing as how it is such a huge segment, and also seeing how a lot of these homeowners are starting to realize the myth of "maintenence-Free" vinyl siding... heh heh heh.
Oh and as a secondary topic - if this stuff sucks - What do you guys do for vinyl houses? Straight up pressure wash? Scrubbing? What products do you use? A lot of people say PAINT it, but around here if you paint a vinyl house in the summer, when it gets cold in the winter the house will have little stripes all over it where the vinyl shrinks and reveals unpainted vinyl at the joints... not pretty at all... I really need a great solution because NOBODY seems to care about the growing problem of weathering vinyl around here, and I really think homeowners would love an alternative to replacement...
