The pack quantities are selected to cover each stage of the restoration process. Application tools, a pressure washer and personal protective equipment are not included.

• Decks with worn, patchy, peeling or failing oils, stains and compatible deck coatings
• Older timber requiring a full reset before applying a new finish
• DIY renovators and professionals who want compatible preparation and finishing products in one complete system
• Decks up to approximately 90m², depending on coating build-up and timber absorption

Not designed for: epoxy or two-pack coating removal, structurally unsound timber, or simply cleaning bare timber that does not require stripping.

This kit is configured for a deck area of approximately 90m², but the stated area is a planning guide rather than a guarantee.

• Old coating type, thickness and number of layers affect stripper consumption.
• Some heavily coated areas may require a second stripper application.
• Rough, weathered or absorbent timber uses more finishing product than smooth, dense timber.
• Measure the complete deck, including steps and other timber being coated.
• Do not stretch the finish beyond the manufacturer’s recommended spreading rate.

If the deck has multiple heavy layers or an unknown coating, test a small area before beginning the full project.

1. Inspect and test: identify the existing coating and complete a stripper test patch. Confirm it is not an epoxy or two-pack system.
2. Prepare the area: remove furniture, sweep the deck, protect nearby surfaces and vegetation, and wear the required protective equipment.
3. Strip: apply Viccon Wood Care Wood Finish Stripper according to the current product label. Work in manageable sections, keep the treated area wet for the specified dwell time, then remove the softened coating using the recommended washing method.
4. Remove the coating: test whether the coating has softened, then pressure wash carefully with the grain. Reapply stripper to remaining coating where required.
5. Rejuvenate: apply Viccon Wood Rejuvenator evenly, allow approximately 15–20 minutes of contact time, agitate stubborn areas if needed, then rinse thoroughly.
6. Dry and inspect: allow the timber to dry completely. Complete a light finishing sand where raised fibres or remaining defects require it.
7. Prime: apply one even coat of Haymes UVEX Primer following the application and drying instructions on the product label.
8. Seal: apply two even coats of Haymes Dexpress, maintaining a wet edge and following the recommended recoat times on the label.

Weather, timber temperature and moisture affect application and drying. Always follow the instructions on the product labels supplied.

This kit creates the most complete Polished Look system in the range: one UVEX Primer coat followed by two Dexpress finish coats.

• The primer supports adhesion, timber protection and a more complete coating system.
• Dexpress provides a hard-wearing, low-sheen finish.
• This kit is supplied with Haymes Dexpress in Natural.
• Test the complete system on a small, inconspicuous area before coating the whole deck.

• Read every product label and safety data sheet before use.
• Wear suitable gloves, eye protection, protective clothing and respiratory protection required by the label.
• Protect painted surfaces, metal, masonry, plants, pools and surrounding areas from chemical contact and rinse water.
• Keep preparation products wet only for their specified reaction time; do not allow them to dry on the surface.
• Use pressure-washing equipment carefully to avoid cutting or damaging timber fibres.
• Do not mix the products together. Rinse thoroughly between preparation stages.
• Do not apply finishing products to damp timber or when rain, unsuitable temperatures or heavy condensation are expected.

Does this kit include tools?
No. This kit includes the preparation and finishing products listed above. You will also need suitable application tools, a pressure washer and the personal protective equipment specified on each product label.

Will it cover exactly 90m²?
Coverage is approximately 90m². Heavy coatings, repeat stripping and porous timber can increase the amount of product required.

Can it remove every coating?
No. Complete a test patch first. The stripper is not intended for epoxy or two-pack finishes.

Do I still need to sand?
The system is designed to remove the old finish chemically and by pressure washing, reducing heavy sanding. A light finishing sand may still be needed after drying to smooth raised fibres or correct remaining defects.

Can I apply the finish immediately after rejuvenating?
No. Rinse thoroughly and allow the timber to dry completely before inspection, sanding and finishing.

Why SEALIX recommends it: This is our preferred complete Polished Look system when the deck needs a full coating reset and the customer wants the added UVEX Primer stage beneath Dexpress.

• Choose this kit for the most complete primer-and-finish system.
• Best suited to customers prioritising coating consistency, a refined low-sheen appearance and longer maintenance intervals than traditional oil systems.
• For successful results, do not rush preparation: every trace of failed coating must be removed before rejuvenating, drying and applying the new system.
• The 90m² size should be selected only after measuring all deck boards, steps and associated timber.
