How Much Vinyl Renu Do You Need? Choosing Between Vinyl Renu & Vinyl Renu Pro
Whether you're restoring the vibrant look of your vinyl siding or protecting it from the elements, Vinyl Renu is your go-to solution. But before you dive into your project, it’s important to know how much product you’ll need and whether Vinyl Renu Pro or Resist Mist might be the better fit for your specific conditions.
Step 1: Measure Your Project Area
Start by measuring the square footage of the vinyl surface you plan to restore. This includes all siding, trim, shutters, or other vinyl surfaces.
-
Measure the height × width of each wall or section.
-
Add up the total square footage.
-
Always plan for at least two coats for optimal results and long-lasting protection.
Example: If your siding is 1,000 sq. ft., you’ll need enough Vinyl Renu to cover 2,000 sq. ft. (two coats). Each gallon of Vinyl Renu covers approximately 350–400 sq. ft.
Step 2: Should You Use Vinyl Renu Pro?
Vinyl Renu Pro is a stronger, longer-lasting version of Vinyl Renu, trusted by professionals and designed for:
-
Larger jobs (multi-building projects, commercial properties)
-
Harsher climates (extreme sun, wind, snow, or salt exposure)
-
Longer protection cycles (up to 10+ years)
If you're restoring a large area or live in a region with intense weather, Vinyl Renu Pro is worth the upgrade.
Step 3: Add Resist Mist for Mold & Mildew Protection
If your vinyl is exposed to a high-moisture climate for most of the year — like near lakes, shaded zones, or humidity — consider adding Resist Mist to your restoration plan.
Resist Mist provides:
-
An extra layer of protection against mold and mildew growth
-
Long-term defense in damp environments
-
Easy application alongside Vinyl Renu
Application Techniques, Tips & Tricks
1. Two-Step Application Process
-
Step 1: Wash and lightly scrub your vinyl using Renu Cleaner. This removes oxidation and agitates the surface to improve adhesion.
-
Step 2: Apply Vinyl Renu evenly using a brush, roller, or sprayer.
2. Sprayer Precautions
If using a sprayer, tape off all glass surfaces to prevent the need for removal from glass post-project.
3. White Siding Warning
Vinyl Renu is not ideal for white siding, as there is no color to restore. It’s best used on faded or oxidized colored vinyl.
4. Cleaner Concentrate Tips
Most Vinyl Renu kits include the exact amount of cleaner concentrate for your job size. For tougher areas, you can use the cleaner at a higher concentration for better results.
5. Eco-Friendly Bulk Options
Vinyl Renu and Vinyl Renu Pro are available in 5-gallon pails, offering:
-
Cost savings
-
Less plastic waste compared to multiple single-gallon containers
