I degrease the gun after removing the grip then I apply 7 coats of carnauba wax polishing each individual coat with a chamois - IF YOU BELIVE THAT THEN I ALSO HAVE BRIDGES FPOR SALE - YOUR CHOICE OF LOCATIONS.

In over 50 years of shooting and having some guns which are almost 100 years old I have only used a good gun oil as aprotective- currently I use Rem-Oil since it forms a protecdtive surface without any oily residue.
