Re: How To Restore Original Paint?

I didn't want to ride around on a greasy truck so I applied a couple coats of Johnson Paste Wax over the oil. Johnson Wax doesn't leave the white residue in the cracks like car wax.
It doesn't shine like a polished and buffed job but it brought the color out and still beads water like new paint after about six months.
This is a very interesting idea, I may end up experimenting with this.
