Need advice on cleaning/oiling/preserving inherited guns

used to have a Honda CB motorcycle
CB describes me accurately ...Cheap B.....d
I am a shooter, not a collector, competitive shooter for a lot of years but eyesight now means I shoot in competitions but not terribly competitive

If I were a collector I would definitely go with the Renaissance Wax suggested by Vlim

As a CB shooter I use 3 in 1 sewing machine oil and it has worked for over 40 years
After cleaning and oiling the bore I always run a dry patch down the bore to remove excess oil
as too much oil can bulge the barrel.

I normally dampen a cloth patch with oil to wipe down all exterior parts
