Re: Keeping that barn fresh look
Try Penetrol by Flood. It is made to add to oil or solvent based paint to help it flow out better, but it is a great old paint seal and brightener. Rub it on, rub it in, and wipe off the excess, let it dry. Putting it on is A LOT easier than wax.

Re: Keeping that barn fresh look
Thanks to all for the suggestions. I think I will first try the Johnsons Wax, as that appears to be the most recommended. Will do on a small section, first.

Re: Keeping that barn fresh look
A good clean and wax will last a long while. The old rodders used to put 30w on their car before a show, to "shine" them up.
like your plan. No need for a clear coat. Gibbs or Ospho in spots will neutralize future rust. A clear coat wont. |

Re: Keeping that barn fresh look
Good Afternoon '28'. I used to live in Costa Mesa. Worked for the Daily Pilot and lived just off Santa Ana Avenue behind the Santa Ana Country Club...I still remember the squiggly lines in the streets to let you know that you were coming up to the stop sign in the fog. Also did time at the Shell Station at Santa Ana Avenue and Palisades Road. Ernie in Arizona
