Thanks for your reply. This stuff is a liquid that I brushed on and has a looonngg dry time. It buids up with a nice shine and depth. Just did this over the last several days and is still a bit tacky. Gonna wait until it's hard then try a small spot with 1500 grit wet sand to see what happens. It actually is an oil based paint thinner but the label also has instructions on preserving rusty metal. I am reluctant to use a spray can on account of overspray and the resultant masking required, at least in this exercise. So far my opinion is positive. Just not sure it holds up over time, or if one can recondition it in the event it fades.
