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?
Penetrol has probably been around for 50 years. Main purpose is as an additive to make oil base paint flow out better. Great stuff.
