Author	Topic:   Anyone tried Penetrol on fiberglass?
jcdawg83	posted 03-04-2014 10:36 AM ET (US)      I have heard that using the paint additive Penetrol is a good, quick way to restore fiberglass. Has anyone tried it? The instructions say to wipe on, buff off within 3 to 5 minutes and the fiberglass/gelcoat will be "restored". Sounds too easy to me.

The Penetrol will tend to fade in a year or two so the process needs to be repeated. It is not, however, the same as wet sanding and buffing gel coat to remove the layer of faded gelcoat
