It was a wax based product used to prevent rust. It was removed easily with soapy hot water. Last edited by CarDC; 07/23/20 03:23 PM. CarDC VCCA# 52964 35 Chevy standard 3 window coupe

Thick oil brushed or slopped on with a rag or use a spray on oil rust-proofing spray like Rust Check or Krown. The creeping effect is good. I have spare parts outside I coat this way and they don't corrode even in the weather. 1938 Canadian Pontiac Business Coupe (aka a 1938 Chevy Coupe with Pontiac shaped front sheet metal - almost all Chevy!) 1975 4-speed L82 Vette
