BHPian LJP recently shared this with other enthusiasts: Gentlemen, I’ve heard a fair bit about Owatrol, and since I own a few older machines, I’m keen to know if it truly works as well as they say. One of my cars, a Maruti SB308, still holds 80% of its factory paint, and I want to preserve its natural patina while while stopping rust from spreading. There are a few rust spots, but overall, the paint is still in fine condition. I also own restored classics, which cost me a fair sum to bring back to their former glory. If Owatrol helps protect both original and repainted finishes, I’d consider it a worthwhile investment. That said, not everyone swears by the same method. Some prefer waxes, some use special oils, and others rely on modern ceramic coatings. So, I put it to you-how do you protect your vintage and classic vehicles? Do you use Owatrol, or do you have other trusted methods? How do you keep original paint from fading or rusting? What’s your approach to long-term rust prevention? Let’s make this thread a place where we share our methods, experiences, and best practices for keeping old paint and metal in top shape. After all, these machines are more than just vehicles-they’re pieces of history that deserve the best care. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
