After reading posts about preserving tractors in work clothes, I've been thinking. My wheat truck is a 58 with paint that has seen better days. I don't wish to repaint it. It really needs something to preserve it and bring out what's left of the color.
With my cars that I show I would buff and polish, but those all have newer paint with clearcoat. The paint is so thin on the old Viking that it would just be primer.
I once saw a Rambler at a show that had been owned by a little old lady that kept it in the garage and rubbed it with kerosene once a year. It looked brand new. That single stage paint was like new.
You think I can do that to the truck? Maybe kerosene or diesel. It seems so crazy to a car guy, but heck, its just the grain truck, right?
