Well my “Pimp Your Grill” magic potion arrived yesterday. I took time to put it to the test on my extremely faded Weber Flat Top sliding panels. I followed the directions cleaning the part first with Simple Green and then applying a thick coat that you leave on for 30 minutes before wiping off.
Before application: For reference, the darker panel at the top (which was similarly faded) was treated with Pam months ago. I am amazed it has done as well as it has.
After applying to 1/2 and to 1/2 of the control panel on the right. When I put this stuff on, there was no immediate reaction, but when I came back a half hour later it looked like this:
As a comparative test, I applied Pam to the other half:
The fade disappears quickly with the Pam, but the PMG stuff did a slightly better job. The real test will be to check on this over the coming months to see how long each lasts.
This was a horribly faded specimen with scratches and leftover decal marks. Other than having the porcelain redone this was probably as good as you could hope for.
My next test will be on a much better shape old kettle. At $28 delivered for the PMG product, the jury is still out from my perspective. I will post about the kettle results when I get back home in a couple weeks.
