Penetrating question

Well, great! Two diametrically opposed opinions about Penetrol. I have a heavily oxidized, older fiberglas boat and am not anxious to start wet sanding, etc. Might have to though... Any other pros or cons re Penetrol? We've started using it and Bob likes it fine. It makes the boat look really great. I'm not sure if we'd know if it yellowed though because our gel coat isn't white - it's kind of beige. But the guy across the dock has used it on his white boat and we haven't noticed any yellowing. In any case, I don't see much difference between the effort involved in doing all that sanding and waxing business and stripping it off and redoing it periodically (or giving up and painting the topsides), and in using something like Penetrol and stripping that off and/or reapplying it periodically. And since the Penetrol requires much less effort to begin with (and we also use it in the cockpit etc), I'm not convinced that it is worth my time or the money to pay someone (because I totally wouldn't do either one myself) to do the buffing and waxing thing. It isn't worth it. grandma Rosalie |
