Hi, I thought I would share my experience in renewing my faded fiberglass.
I have a 79 Renken fiberglass hull. It was faded pretty badly. It took me hours to coumpound and wax the top to where I thought I had the shine back. Well i was talking to my father-in-law who is a painter about an easier way to get the shine back. He went over to is truck and pulled out he Penetrol and I tried it. It worked like a charm on the bottom half, came out better than the top. You just wipe it on with a rag and wait a little bit, then buff it off with another rag.
I do plan on following up with a good coat of wax once I get a chance because I have heard that it can be a dirt magnet if just left alone, but this may be a quick fix for some people.
I'll post a follow up on how it does long term but I am VERY HAPPY with it so far
