What are you using on the case colors for long term storage? Renisance wax? Thinking I may not want to do much rubbing on the case colors.

Thanks

Brad Bachelder told me years ago to use Tru oil thinned 50% and coat the case coloring. I've done this to a number of guns and it has really helped. It does make the colors pop a little and makes them slightly shiny. Can easily be removed with thinner.

What are you using to thin it with?

Paint thinner

I would never store a high end gun in a makers case. Always in a gun safe with the case stored separately. I have seen several Parker’s that one side has been badly rusted in a very short amount of time by being left in the case.
