Products like Penetrol or Black Wow.....

Anyone have an opinion or experience with such miracle restoration products like Penetrol or Black Wow, or anything similar?
  • It's only been about 5 months, but it still looks like the day I put it on. I didn't do the dashboard because I had recently put Armor All on it and it didn't seem like a good idea to put something else on it right away.

    I tried Back to Black (Meguiar's?) but it didn't last more than a few weeks.


    How long did Wipe New last for you? I'm just leery of such miracle products but if it truly works then.....

    I just cant seem to get past the name. Seems more appropriate a name for a toilet paper company.

  • I found that Pentrol was very sticky. I would not use it again
  • I used to use Penetrol on my Jeep fender flares that turned white. IT is a paint leveler product, not really a restoration product. It would turn them black for six months or so.
