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.

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
- Prep: Clean and dry the surface thoroughly—remove loose dirt, grease, or contaminants.

- Apply: Use a clean applicator pad, sponge, or cloth. Apply a thin, even coat.
