This is what the Polymer linked Fluid Film does to plastics,it will soak in and the gloss will settle down to a more normal matt,the treatment is said to last one and a half years,we will moniter this and report back next year.
This 22 year old winch works fine still but it sure looks as if the top plastic ring has seen better days,its a glass reinforced plastic,the glass can be seen when you look closer.
Its not often we get to try a before and after trial with new poducts but one such test was on some Lewmar STC 43 winches,they will be about 22 years old now,they have done two atlantic crossings and lots of work but still look pretty good,excepting the top plastic jaws that grip the rope,they call it Wave Grip I think? A quick application of Fluid Film sorted that out,check the pictures for yourself.
