TeriAnn,
I have just remembered something a chap told me many years ago. He had a
Mercedes that was OLD but not a sign of rust. In Toronto here they use
salt even if it looks cold so it had been subjected to much rust provoking
elements - yet none! He told me that in order to get the best out of the
rust preventive he sprayed in dilute (thus thin) solution of Krone (or
whatever he used). This he said carried it into the minute nooks and
crannies. He then sprayed in stronger stuff. So that is what I will do
with my paraffin(maybe bee's)wax/mineral spirit concoction.
