Penetrating question
Thanks to all who responded to this thread. With one exception, the
responses were uniformly negative about Penetrol, and we've decided to go the traditional rub and buff route. I want any boat I sell to look as great as when I sold it months down the road :{)) Thanks again.

Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin "Skip Gundlach" wrote in message hlink.net... I've got a fiberglass boat which could use some luster restoration. I've heard reports, but none first-hand, about Penetrol. Some have said direct opposites - that it gives a great, deep, restoration, and that it doesn't work, and causes long-term dullness, but I don't recall any who had personally used it. If there are any here who have personally used Penetrol to restore fiberglass gelcoat luster, I'd be interested to know the results - were they good, bad or indifferent, and would you do it again/how long did it last/did it have negative long-term results, etc. In particular, any who have done so on glitter surfaces would be welcomed. Since I don't get here all that often, a direct response as well as to the group would be appreciated. myname at earthlink dot net is more reliable than the uga one.... Thanks.
