Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Minwax paste wax is very similar to Johnson's. Works very well. Also good for barrels and other metal parts though not long term durable.

We would be surprised how durable a wax finish is on metal. In 1987, I bought a 682 Beretta that had the standard Beretta, almost parkerized, finish on the barrels. I didn't like it, so applied a coat of my Mom's Johnsons Paste Wax and buffed it well. Today, it is still shiny and shows no sign of returning to the factory matte finish. I don't remember ever redoing it, although I may have once.
