Neat. Thank you for sharing....

 

[DAT]

Good idea.

 

[Mikey P]

Well I'm certainly amazed......................... that you didn't say low and behold

Lo me

 

[Leeroy]

If that doesn't work and I don't know if it will one of these has always worked for us.

 

[Mikey P]

" you don't know if it will"


But you're willing to scrub the living s*** out of it and dull it all out with that stuff....


Bongs are bad.

 

[steve_64]

I didn't say I scrub the living out of them. But it's what we use and know work.

We have the trim shine but never tried it on Formica so I can't say if it works or not.

We are willing to try new products and technique but usually go back to what we are already doing so yes I'm skeptical.

 

[steve_64]

Bongs are not bad. Vaping is.
Again staying with what already works.

maybe when you sober up you can explain to me how an abrasive is going to bring a color back to bleached plastic

 

[hogjowl]

I’m not sure he’d be very interesting sober

 

[steve_64]

I'm probably more sober than Mike.

I don't know the science but guessing I'd say it removes the layer that bleached and polishes at the same time. Kinda like removing water stains from clear coat on a car with buffing compound.

Trim shine also seems temporary. How long before that bleach stain resurfaces? And im not eating anything from your counters.

Long enough for the cheque to clear.

I’m pretty sure it does the same thing as Aerospace 303. Helps to rehydrate and reform the plastic molecules... therefore, it gives it the appearance of like new condition.... just a hunch though..

But it doesn't remove the bleach or what caused the bleaching. It's a temporary fix at best and I really don't want it on my countertop.

How often do you store, or prep food DIRECTLY on your countertop Steve? Probably NEVER! I’ve never seen anyone do that.... I would think it’s a better option than replacement, as it would cost several thousand to replace, as apposed to a hundred bucks to do a temporary restoration....

Really?

I don't do it ....I guess because I'm a germophobe as far as food prep but I've watched many a person, usually old, roll out dough/biscuits/pie crust directly on the counter.

Ok, fair enough. I used to cook for a living, and I’m the same way as you. My point is simply that If the product is applied, then the surface is washed with hot soapy water, it can’t be anymore toxic than the shampoo, toothpaste, or body cream people use everyday....
Besides, this discussion point is moot, because the surface in question looks like it’s a laundry room countertop....

what caused the bleaching

Next time I'll scrub down the homeowner with Barkeeper's friend..

That'll be a fun video. I bet even Marty would watch that.

We use it a lot. That picture was just what is under the sink.

We use the large thin plastic sheets for cutting boards but food still falls off sometimes.

Yep, keep some on the truck actually...
