Oxidation removal

The chalky, faded film on older vinyl, aluminum and gutter faces.

Run a hand down old siding and if it comes away chalky white, that is oxidation — the surface of the material itself breaking down under UV. It is why a washed house can still look dull, and why a rinse changes nothing: there is nothing sitting on top to remove.

It is treated rather than washed, with a product that strips the oxidized layer back to sound material underneath. Done properly the color comes back several shades; done with pressure the panel gets streaked and the chalk simply spreads.

The same problem is what makes gutter faces stripe, so the two jobs usually go together.

A blue-gray house elevation dulled by a chalky oxidized film.
The same elevation after treatment, the siding back to a deep saturated blue.
