Customer Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Used Turbogel on our garden decking that had gone completely grey after two winters. Applied with a brush, left for 20 minutes, scrubbed and rinsed. The transformation is unbelievable — the natural wood colour came back completely. Applied Lacq Produra 48 hours later. The deck looks brand new. Outstanding product." — Marianne T., Homeowner, Surrey

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Applied Turbogel to our fence panels — the gel clings to the vertical boards perfectly without running off. No product wasted at all. Left for 20 minutes, rinsed off. The grey weathering lifted completely. Applied Produra the following weekend. The fence looks like it was just installed. Brilliant gel formula." — Dave R., Homeowner, Yorkshire

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Used Turbogel on our garden furniture that had been left outside for 3 years and gone completely grey. Applied with a brush, left 20 minutes, rinsed with a hose. The natural teak colour came back perfectly. No sanding required at all. Applied wood oil 48 hours later. Furniture looks stunning. Best wood reviver available." — Patricia H., Homeowner, Kent

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Applied Turbogel to our holiday park decking and timber cladding before re-staining. The gel formula is perfect for large areas — no running or dripping, every drop stays on the wood. Covered 25 m² with one 2.5L tub as stated. The wood colour restoration is exceptional. Applied Produra after 48 hours. Professional results." — Colin W., Holiday Park Manager, Devon

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Used Turbogel on our restaurant terrace decking before applying Suredeck anti-slip coating. The decking had been grey for two seasons.

Excellent preparation product." — Sandra K., Restaurant Manager, Bristol

Is This Product Right For Me

✅ This product is ideal if you need to:

• Revive greyed, weathered, or discoloured exterior timber without sanding or harsh chemicals

• Use a non-drip gel that clings to vertical surfaces (fence panels, cladding, doors) without running off or wasting product

• Clean and restore all exterior wood types — softwoods, hardwoods, tanalised timber, decking, garden furniture, fences, and cladding

• Use a biodegradable, solvent-free, eco-friendly wood reviver that is safe for use around plants and gardens

• Prepare exterior timber for re-finishing with wood stain, oil, or protective coating

• Achieve professional wood revival results in a single 20-minute treatment without specialist equipment

• Use professional-grade wood revival from Lacq (150 years of Dutch wood care expertise)

❌ This product is NOT suitable if you need to:

• Apply a wood stain, oil, or protective coating — Turbogel is a preparation product only, not a finish (follow with Lacq Produra or Coo-Var Suredeck after 48 hours)

• Apply in temperatures below 5°C (minimum application temperature 5°C)

• Apply to wet or damp timber — wood should be reasonably dry before application

• Rinse with a pressure washer — rinse with clean water only (pressure washing can damage wood fibres)

• Apply a wood finish immediately after rinsing — allow minimum 48 hours drying time before applying any wood finish

• Use on interior timber surfaces — Turbogel is formulated for exterior timber only

About The Product

Lacq Turbogel Wood Reviver Gel is a biodegradable thixotropic gel designed to revive greyed and weathered exterior timber in just 20 minutes — restoring the natural colour and grain of decking, garden furniture, fences, cladding, and doors without sanding, harsh chemicals, or specialist equipment.

The key to Turbogel's effectiveness is its unique gel formulation. Unlike liquid wood cleaners that run off vertical surfaces and waste product, Turbogel's thixotropic gel consistency clings to both vertical and horizontal surfaces — fence panels, cladding, doors, and decking boards — staying in contact with the wood for the full 20-minute treatment time without dripping or running. This means every drop of product works on the wood, not on the floor. Zero product waste, less mess, and faster application.

Developed by Lacq's Dutch wood care experts with 150 years of coating innovation, Turbogel uses a biodegradable oxalic-acid gel formulation that safely lifts grey weathering, tannin staining, and deep-seated dirt from all exterior wood types — softwoods, hardwoods, tanalised timber, and previously treated wood. Solvent-free, negligible VOC, non-flammable, and biodegradable — safe for use around plants, gardens, and the environment.

The correct sequence for reviving and re-finishing exterior timber is: 1) apply Turbogel to revive and restore the natural wood colour, 2) rinse thoroughly with clean water (no pressure washer), 3) allow to dry for minimum 48 hours, 4) apply your chosen wood finish — Lacq Produra Wood Stain & Protector for staining and long-term protection, or Coo-Var Suredeck Anti-Slip Decking Protector for clear anti-slip decking protection.

Apply by brush or roller with the grain. Leave for 20 minutes. Rinse with clean water — do not use a pressure washer as this can damage the wood fibres. Allow minimum 48 hours drying time before applying any wood finish. Coverage of approximately 10 m² per litre (approximately 25 m² per 2.5L tub). Minimum application temperature 5°C.

Manufactured in the Netherlands by Lacq's Dutch wood care experts and trusted by homeowners, property managers, and professional contractors for fast, effective revival of greyed and weathered exterior timber.

Coverage & How Much Do I Need

Coverage: Approx. 10 m² per litre (approx. 25 m² per 2.5L tub)

Per Tub Coverage:
• 2.5 litres: Covers approx. 25 m²

Coverage varies depending on wood porosity and condition. Heavily weathered or porous timber will absorb more product.

Example Calculations:

Small Project (garden furniture & fence section — approx. 10 m²):
• Product required: Approx. 1 litre
• Recommended: One 2.5L tub (covers with product to spare for future use)

Medium Project (decking or fence — approx. 20 m²):
• Product required: Approx. 2 litres
• Recommended: One 2.5L tub

Large Project (full decking & fencing — approx. 40 m²):
• Product required: Approx. 4 litres
• Recommended: Two 2.5L tubs

For accurate project planning, measure your total timber surface area. Order 10% extra for heavily weathered or porous surfaces.

Important: Leave Turbogel on the surface for 20 minutes before rinsing. Rinse with clean water only — do not use a pressure washer. Allow minimum 48 hours drying time before applying any wood finish.

Recommended Next Steps After Turbogel:
• Lacq Produra Wood Stain & Protector – Stain and protect revived timber with premium water-based woodstain
• Coo-Var Suredeck Anti-Slip Decking Protector – Apply clear anti-slip protection to revived decking

Allow minimum 48 hours drying time before applying any wood finish.

Surface Preparation:

• Ensure timber is reasonably dry before application

FAQ's

What is Lacq Turbogel and when should I use it?

Lacq Turbogel is a biodegradable thixotropic gel designed to revive greyed and weathered exterior timber in just 20 minutes. Use it when exterior timber — decking, garden furniture, fences, cladding, or doors — has become grey, discoloured, or weathered and needs restoring before re-finishing with wood stain, oil, or protective coating.

Why is Turbogel a gel rather than a liquid?


Turbogel's thixotropic gel consistency is the key to its effectiveness. Unlike liquid wood cleaners that run off vertical surfaces and waste product, the gel clings to both vertical and horizontal surfaces — fence panels, cladding, and doors — without dripping or running. This means every drop of product stays in contact with the wood for the full 20-minute treatment time. Zero product waste, less mess, and faster application on vertical surfaces.

Can I use Turbogel on vertical surfaces like fence panels and cladding?

Yes — this is one of Turbogel's key advantages. The thixotropic gel formula clings to vertical surfaces without running off, making it ideal for fence panels, cladding, doors, and any other vertical timber surface. Apply with a brush, leave for 20 minutes, then rinse. No drips, no runs, no wasted product.

What surfaces can I use Turbogel on?


Turbogel is suitable for all exterior timber including softwoods, hardwoods, tanalised timber, decking, garden furniture, fences, fence panels, cladding, verandas, and wooden doors. Suitable for all exterior wood types. Not suitable for interior timber surfaces.

How do I apply Turbogel?

Apply generously by brush or roller with the grain. Leave for 20 minutes. Scrub with a hard brush or broom to loosen lifted dirt and weathering. Rinse thoroughly with clean water — do not use a pressure washer. Allow minimum 48 hours drying time before applying any wood finish.

Can I use a pressure washer to rinse Turbogel?


No — rinse with clean water only. Do not use a pressure washer. Pressure washing can damage wood fibres and is not required with Turbogel. A garden hose or watering can is sufficient for rinsing.

How long do I leave Turbogel on the surface?


Leave Turbogel on the surface for 20 minutes before scrubbing and rinsing. Do not allow to dry out — if conditions are very hot or windy, work in smaller sections. The gel will visibly lift grey weathering and discolouration during the dwell time.

How long before I can apply a wood finish after Turbogel?

Allow minimum 48 hours drying time after rinsing before applying any wood finish. Applying a finish too early will trap moisture in the wood and affect adhesion and performance.

What wood finish should I apply after Turbogel?


Apply Lacq Produra Wood Stain & Protector for staining and long-term protection of revived timber. Apply Coo-Var Suredeck Anti-Slip Decking Protector for clear anti-slip protection on revived decking. Both products are available from Specialist Paints Online.

Is Turbogel eco-friendly?


Yes — Turbogel is biodegradable, solvent-free, negligible VOC, and non-flammable. Safe for use around plants, gardens, and the environment. An eco-friendly alternative to harsh chemical wood cleaners.

What coverage can I expect from Turbogel?

Turbogel provides approximately 10 m² per litre (approximately 25 m² per 2.5L tub). Coverage varies depending on wood porosity and condition — heavily weathered or porous timber will absorb more product.

What temperature do I need to apply Turbogel?

The minimum application temperature is 5°C. Do not apply in temperatures below 5°C.

Does Turbogel work on all types of grey weathering?

Yes — Turbogel's biodegradable oxalic-acid gel formulation safely lifts grey weathering, tannin staining, and deep-seated dirt from all exterior wood types. Suitable for softwoods, hardwoods, and tanalised timber.
