Restore Original Paint

Mayonaisse works.

But I prefer to use what would have been used, as shown in the attachment.
The formula hasn't changed, and a heat lamp or hotair gun melts it into faded or "chalked" paints for a durable shine with little effort.

I used Gibbs,Kerosene,Marvel Mystery oil. 1/3 each mixed together in a spay bottle with good results on an orig. JD project.

I have a 1913 motorcycle that roughly half the original paint. I want to leave the original finish intact, but bring out as much of the original paint as possible and prevent additional rusting. I have heard that Gibbs is good for this purpose and have also had someone suggest mixing diesel and linseed oil. Does anyone have any experience with this type of thing?
