A few members had asked me about the shutter shine service they had seen on my website. First off, I did not come up with the term Shutter Shine, I seen this advertised elsewhere and thought it had a nice ring to it. What it is, is restoring faded vinyl shutters back to it's original color. I found two different items that can do this way better than Armorall. They both are products made by the Flood Company, the first is called Restora it's sold in a kit form- cleaner/conditioner. This one is costly and I haven't really found a way to make it cost effective. The second is a product called Penetrol which is normally used by painters to help reduce brush marks in oil based paint and also as a fiberglass conditioner to bring back color that has faded. Through experimenting I found it also works well on vinyl. The first one I've used about two years ago on my own shutters and they still look brand new today, the second I have just started using so I'm not sure of the long term results yet, but it is way cheaper. With my new website coming I decided to push this service a little more, we will see what happens and if there is a strong market for it.
