Default Preserving Patina

Preface: I'm not intersted in opening up a debate on patina vs. restored. I like them all. Restored to original, unrestored original, modified, ratrods and such. If I had the resources any worthy car would be restored to original. That being said I got to poking around on the internet on how to preserve patina. There are many YouTube videos but one product that caught my eye was Penetrol. I dismantled an old metal shed recently with solid metal but plenty of patina, so for $10 I bought a quart and tried it. Sure enough after 3 coats it shines nicely and covers well. The pictures may not show the sheen but it seems to work quite well. If anyone has used this product can you relate how well it holds up?
