Introduction

Why Doors Become Weathered

Front doors, patio doors, and other exterior entrances face sunlight, rain, and temperature swings. This leads to greying, peeling finishes, and embedded dirt.

Why Choose Lacq Turbogel for Doors

Traditional liquid cleaners run down door panels, leaving patches untreated. Lacq Turbogel’s gel consistency ensures every inch of the wood is well covered, even in decorative grooves.

How to Restore a Weathered Door

1. Remove Hardware

   • Take off handles or knockers if possible, or tape them up to protect from gel contact.

   • Lightly dampen the door’s surface.

2. Apply Gel

   • Stir thoroughly; brush Turbogel along the door’s grain.

   • Focus on edges and corners.

3. Wait & Scrub

   • Let it sit for ~20 minutes.

   • Use a stiff brush or sponge to dislodge old finish and grime.

4. Rinse & Dry

   • Gently rinse off residue with water.

   • Leave door to dry (48 hours) before applying stain, paint, or protective coats.
