Description

Extreme APD Exterior Dressing – All Purpose Water-Based Dressing

Symplex® Extreme APD Exterior Dressing is a professional-grade, concentrated, water-based all-purpose dressing engineered to enhance and protect vinyl, rubber, and plastic surfaces. Developed with Cross-Link Technology, reactive polymers interlink to form a durable protective barrier designed to be UV-resistant and detergent-resistant.

Extreme APD delivers customizable gloss depending on dilution—ranging from high gloss when used concentrated to a subtle OEM satin finish when diluted. The non-greasy, dry-to-touch finish helps maintain a professional look for frequent-touch areas.

Key Features

  • All-Purpose Dressing: One solution for multiple detailing applications.
  • Cross-Link Technology: Reactive polymers form a durable protective matrix.
  • Non-greasy / dry-to-touch: Leaves surfaces clean, dry, and more dust-resistant.
  • All-surface compatibility: Safe for vinyl, rubber, and plastic (interior & exterior).
  • UV protection: Helps defend against UV-related fading and cracking.
  • Customizable gloss: Adjust shine level by dilution (high / medium / low gloss).
  • Concentrated: Economical and long-lasting for professional use.
  • Water-based: VOC compliant and easy to apply.
  • Made in the USA: Crafted with pride in Florida.

Dilution Guide

Desired Finish Dilution Ratio Notes
High Gloss Use undiluted Maximum shine.
Medium Gloss 1:1 (product:water) Balanced shine for most exterior trim and plastics.
Low Gloss / OEM Finish 1:2 up to 1:10 (product:water) Dial in a subtle, factory-style satin look.

Tip: You can experiment within the dilution range to match the exact sheen you want.

How to Apply

  1. Prep: Clean and dry the surface thoroughly—remove loose dirt, grease, or contaminants.
  2. Dilute: Mix to your desired finish (see dilution table).
  3. Apply: Use a clean applicator pad, sponge, or cloth. Apply a thin, even coat.
  4. Avoid over-application: Too much product may lead to streaking or uneven finish.
  5. Set: Allow product to penetrate for several minutes.
  6. Dry completely: Let surfaces dry before contact with water or harsh conditions (drying time varies with humidity/temperature).

Recommended Uses

  • Exterior: trim, bumpers, moldings, and tires.
