Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do to prepare my deck for painting with Vinyl Re-Fresh?
Inspect the deck thoroughly paying special attention to overlap seams, around posts, cuts and tears that might be in your vinyl surface. The overlaps should be sound and any repairs should be made before beginning application of Vinyl Re-Fresh. Thoroughly clean the vinyl with The Duke all purpose cleaner and degreaser mixed 10 to 1 with hot water. Use a stiff bristle broom to agitate then rinse with copious amounts of water, let dry completely.
