Hey youse guys! I just detail stripped my p08 for the first time ever. WOW! She looked pretty clean from the outside, but in every nook and cranny she's got eighty nine years worth of gunk, dirt, blood, sweat, and who knows what else? I'm cleaning the living hell out of her right now. The question is: what can I put on her to keep her protected from the moisture from my swamp cooler, etc. I don't believe renaissance wax is available here, and I don't want to gunk 'er up again either. I figure if I don't coat her in something she'll rust to death though. I want to stay away from oil, and don't want anything that isn't removable. Car wax???? I really have no ideas here, do YOU? Something polishable (like the car wax I wondered about) would be nice to display her. Thanks, Tom Platt.
