Say in steel hubs? I'm recommended many things --which usually cost
top dollar-- but wax seems to be a common sense approach. Long lasting
protection, to boot.
Anyone tried that?

Just to clarify. I was reading around and hubs are not bare metal, but
chrome. Yes, it's recommended.

linseed oil over bare metal parts ! hardens to a plastic wax. Linseed
does collect dirt. Clean with Iso and recover or remove with denatured
and recoat.

gnaw...tech BS....linseed is used on manure spreaders not space
vehicles. If you have a space vehicle see Boing for Boing Shield.
linseed polymerizes into a thick coat, and you can play with it with
thin added layers. Thick coat resists bangs and scrapes 100X more than
auto tech that is designed for show and go n ot go and go.
like manure spreaders.
critics will point out linseed is kinda yellowish but seriously ? who
looks ? like they're gonna look at you right ? not your nuts
Rain X windshield wax has a very low surface retention capacity giving
the new polish spacy effect of bursting raindrops eyeyyehahhahhahha
try the green ones.....
at 140+, itsa gas...
I'm using Aerospace 303, no surface effect but thicker, DULL DULL
DULL
but the glass is transparent...even new glass is transparent ! beat
that.
However, gives sand protection.
Same parallel goes for nut protection. wnnna protect your nuts or
wanna gettum to look good ? seriously who looks at your nuts. give me
a break.
outer void fersure.

I went thru the wax scene online after buying a new vanwith a clear
poly overcoat. SILICONE ! as per Ford so I went with Meguir's system
as per Wl Mart.
but there's Carnuba, harder to apply, longer lasting b ut...but what ?
I dunno ask Ford.
Chrome is hard not requiring much protection unless urine pollution of
basic and acid mists like downwind from Ohio Steel and Burner all the
way tp the Attlantic.
Carnuba is harder in application and maybe herein lies Ford's
answer(s) to get the best Ford shine, silicone produces but does not
protect as well as a well applied carnuba but produces a good shine
for Ford';'s good paint without effort.
so if you put effort and warmth into the carnuba that's better than
silicone
linseed takes zero effort prob lasts longer than carnuba definitely
than silicone but isnot clear and attracts dirt unless thouroghly heat
cured.
unpainted bolts-use linseed
are your surfaces suffering from winter corrosion ? use linseed on a
clean surface in a warm room then let dry several days in warmth.
however in the garage as linseed is odorous line antiquo paint.
