The chairs won't be shiny any more, but they'll be the original color without the white scuzz on the surface. What the blowtorch did was melt a very thin layer of the resin that covered up the oxidation. The scuzz is still there under the surface and that's why the chairs aren't shiny when they cool off.

Too bad he didn't get cheap white resin chairs. They're the same color as the scuzz and it's not noticeable. Mine have been outdoors for 20+ years and look new when I bother to hose the sand and soot off them.
