STAR BRITE Rub Rail Restorer & Protectant Spray with PTEF — Restores Rubber & Plastic Trim, UV Protection

STAR BRITE Rub Rail Restorer & Protectant Spray with PTEF rejuvenates dull rubber and plastic rub rails while leaving a dry, non-greasy protective finish.

If your boat’s rub rail has faded, lost its original shine, or shows signs of weathering, this spray is formulated to refresh appearance and help defend against sun and environmental exposure. Designed specifically for rubber and plastic trim, the formula reinstates a refreshed look without leaving a slick residue, making it ideal for exterior trim work where a tidy finish matters.

How will this spray change the look of my rub rail?

The product restores surface color and sheen by penetrating the rub rail’s material and replenishing lost luster. Results are visible after a single application, returning a more uniform, newer appearance while minimizing patchiness from fading.

• Restores matte or faded rubber to a refreshed, even look
• Improves gloss on plastic trim without over-brightening
• One-step application for quick cosmetic improvement
• Works on both painted and unpainted rub rails made from rubber or plastic

Will it protect the trim from sun and weather damage?

The formula includes a polymer barrier and UV-stable components to help shield trim from further environmental wear. It does not prevent all aging but slows color loss and surface degradation from sunlight and moisture exposure.

• Polymer film helps block UV exposure at the surface
• Reduces the rate of color fade and chalking
• Adds a water-resistant layer to repel light moisture
• Best results when used after cleaning and on dry surfaces

How do I apply the spray for the best, longest-lasting result?

Apply to clean, dry rub rails away from heavy wind and direct spray onto small sections, wiping evenly. The non-greasy finish dries rapidly and should be left to cure before exposing the trim to water or heavy contact.

• Clean surface with mild detergent and dry thoroughly
• Spray 6–8 inches away, then spread with a soft cloth for even coverage
• Allow to dry fully; reapply a second light coat if needed
• Avoid use on surfaces where added grip is required (e.g., foot areas)

Is this safe for all rubber and plastic trim on my boat?

• Suitable for most exterior rubber and plastic trim elements
• Not recommended for bicycle or motorcycle tires
• Not intended where slipperiness would be hazardous
